GAINED 81 POUNDS
Persistent Ansemia Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

"When 1 began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Albnns, Somerset county, Maine,
81 was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. 1 had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anaemia.
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
i'll fact, did not dare to, 1 had such dis
tress after eating. My stomach was filed
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbenrable and the least exertiop
made my heart beat so fast that 1 could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftme for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. MY
limbs would be cold aud without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, i'll fact,
l had grown worse every day. After
mad taken the pills short time could
see that they were beneflting ME and
one morning awoke entirely free from
PAIN. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon-
veniehce. l also slept soundly. 1 have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained i'll weight from 100 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly woll now."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure annmia,,
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

a BRIDGE OF mAAooANw.
Valuable Wood Used in Mexican struo.
ture for Pedestrians and Teams.

AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods In the world. it may be
inferred that this tropical material
is not very extensively employed in
the construction of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly a rarity, curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that mate
rial. This structure is located in the
department of Palenque, state of Chi.
apas, republic of Mexico. This dis.
trict lies in the extreme southwestern
part of Mexico, near the boundary line
of Guatemala.

In construction, 1t is very substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-

common. In clearing away the trop-

are also cut down and removed. A.

LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like u fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of IL.
The Door Unbolted" is the title of
a charming little booklet Just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL
lustrates, the. story of this remark,
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial Offices and great
factory buildings of the white City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one Of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
eiuu hiS aSSoSiolSS 10 q SpiouuSIiou VI
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms of the
mansions OF our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and its furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sent
to anyone on request.

The Pension Roll.

Twelve thousand four hundred and
seventy fewer names on the pension
roll at the close of the last fiscal year
than at it's beginning. This is the
largest decrease in recent years. For
ty-three thousand pensioners died
within the 12 months. $4,000 of whom
were old soldiers. AS the veterans are
getting well along in years the mortal
ity among them will increase rapidly
for some time to come, until the heroes
of the great war will be as scarce as
the survivors of the war with Mexico.

were great friends One morning they
went down to the Battery in New York

A ferryman took them off to the

something happened and the small
boat capsized. Everybody went head
long into the water Gilmore. who
wore a heavy overcoat, came up last
He caught some netting on the side
OF the yacht and chung there until
they dragged him aboard.
Gilmore was full of salt water and
had no very clear idea of what had
happened when he woke up in bed in
one of the staterooms. Ochiltree was
sitting beside him.

to burly driver one day, "shu'd be

the same time showing a disposition
to ignore the policeman's uplifted
club.
"oho! ye'd yet ga-ay with me, w'u'd

The driver only laughed, whereupon
Flynn, by quick movement caught
hold of the reins and jerked them out
Of the drivers hands
'Now will ye be good" he asked,
cor will ye dhrive me over to tn sta
tion?"
The driver realized that he was at
the policeman's mercy, and surlily
promised to show all proper respect in
tho future.
"'Tis not me own dignity, but me
polls dignity I'm upholdin'," Flynn
explained afterward. "Ye ca-an't

Policeman Flynn certainly was in
genious, and he held the drivers who
regularly passed his corner in sub
lection by his reputation for resource
fulness and the uncertainty as to
what he would do next. When he
finally humbled the contractor who
was always in hurry, and cut in and
out of the line of teams in most haz-
ardous way, his authority never again
was questioned Another policeman
would have caught the horse by the
bride some day, thrown him back on
his launches, and cursed or arrested
the driver; but Policeman Flynn never
does things as others would do them.
He bided his time, and finally, when
the contractor was caught in pocket
and had to draw up, the policeman
promptly stuck his club between the
spokes of his buggy wheel.
II wa-ant f'r to ta-alk to ye," said
POLICEMAN Flynn. ,.r

Daisies and War.

"There were no daisies in the south"

war. Now we have daisies in profu-
sion, and they are specially abundant
in the regions visited by the northern
armies.

How Policeman Barney Flynn hap.
pened to be put ON crossing duty
was mystery to every man on the
force, but why he was taken off was
well known to all of them. The CROSS
ing men" are usually large and of i'm
posing presence, while Flynn is small
and would not attract the attention
Of anyone who did not know of his
prowess. But he was given the work,
nevertheless.
"'Tis me size" he said by way of
explanation. "Th big ma-an is fine

Whatever of truth there may be in
his assertion, the fact remains that
he was put on crossing duty, and he
went about his work with the same
energy that characterized him in all
that he had previously undertaken.
He was the supreme ruler of that
crossing. and he did not intend to have
any mistake about it. He was excep-

That the resources Of Ely are all that

is positive, and he does not hesitate to
express most optimistic opinions regard

states that the management of the Nc,
Donald-Ely, properties, recently acquired
by himself and Senstor Kearns, is
making rapid progress with the two
shafts. Both are down over sixty feet,
and preparations are now under way
