WAS WEAK AND DIZZY
Or. Williams Pink Pills Restored the
Patient to Perfect Health
And Strength.

Mrs. Mary Gagner, Of No. SIG South
Summer street, Holyoke, Mass, has
passed through an experience which
proves that some of the greatest bless
iDgs of life may lie within easy reach
and yet be found only by mere chance.
A few years ago while she was employed
in the mills she was suddenly seized
| with dizziness and great weakness. 81
was 50 weak at times" she says, that
| could hardly stand, and my head be-
came 50 dizzy that it seemed az If the
floor was moving around.
"My condition at last became so bad
that | was obliged to give up work in the
mill, and later still | became so feebly
that | could not even attend to me
household duties. After the slightest
| exertion | had to lie down and rest until
| regained strength.
"a friend who had used DR., Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People urged me to
try them. ! bought n box and began to
take them. The benefit was so positive
and SO quickly evident that | continued
| 20 use the pills until / had taken alto
| gethcr six boxes. BY that time | was
| entirely cured, and for two years l have
had no return Of my trouble. | am now
in the best Of health and able to attend
to all my duties. lam glad to acknowl-
edge the benefit | received and l hope
that my statement may be the means OF
inducing others who may suffer Ill tins
way to try this wonderful medicine.
The secret Of the power Of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills in cases Of debility,
such rs Mrs. Gagner's lies in the fact
that they makenew blood, and every or
gan and even every tiny nerve in the
body feels the stir Of d new tide OF
strength. .
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by al
druggists or will be sent, postpaid, OF
receipt of price, 30 cents per box, si'
boxes for $3.50, by the DR., William
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y

IDEAS OF

A German has invented a means OF
using light rays instead OF wires for
telephony. The system has been
found very useful at sea. the search
light carrying the voice perfectly.
An Italian engineer has recently de-
veloped a very efficient and economic
process for welding steel and iron by
means Of acetylene gas. The heat pro-
duced by the combustion Of acetylene
and oxygen mixed at the moment OF
burning Is about 1900 degrees Fahren-
hoit, which Is higher than the temper
aturs OF the ~oxyhydrogen fame and
near that of the electric arc.
A very efficient stenotyping amchins
by which a syllable land in some
cases two or three sylalbles) is print
ed in plain type at each stroke OF the
fingers, has just been invented by a
Partisan. This result has been OBJ
tanned by an ingenious arrangement
Of the letters Of the alphabet. 1t Is
said that 50 words a minute can be
written By an amateur, while a normal
speed of 125 to $50 words can be
obtained in two months, and in some
cases as high as 300 words,
A mechanical device has been in
vented which is reported to be sure
to induce drowsiness and then sleep
in ordinary cases OF wakefulness. 1t
Is said to have almost hypnotic powers
In that direction, though II consists
in nothing but curiously shaped and
lrreguIarly placed "paddlers" attached
to a slowly revolving wheel. 1t Is
claimed that II the sufferer from In
somnia looks steadily at the contriv'
ance while 1t is In motion he vii
be overcome by drowsiness and put
10 sleep.

Congress- viii EndedVOr to Help
Situation This Session.
MANY DEFECTS In PRESENT LAW
Was Passed for Benefit of Individual,
Who is Unable to Work Land
After Taking It.

Washington, Dec 15 - Strenuous
efforts will be made at the present ses-
sion of congress to secure the repeal or
mobilization of the coal land law along
the lines recommended by President
Roosevelt in his message. That some
thing will be accomplished seems quite
probable, but what form of law will be
substituted for that under which gi-
gantic frauds have been perpetrated has
not yet been made apparent, The in
f1uence of the administration will be
behind a bill proposing to cut off fur
ther sales of government coal land,
though permitting them to be worked
by individuals or companies on a royal
ty plan.
The president, like every other prac-
tical western man, knows that the ex-
listing coal land law is not sensibly
framed. That law was built on the
theory that the individual could take
up and develop a quarter section of coal
land, just as the homestead law gives
the individual a like area of agricultur-
al land But no individual can develop
a quarter section or whole section of
coal land He could not afford to in
stall the necessary machinery, or if he
could, his profits on a quarter section
would not recOmpense him for the out
lay. Moreover, no railroad would think
of building spur onto an isolated
quarter section of land and the owner
of the land could not afford to assume
that expense. So the individual with
a quarter section of coal land in his
possession would have white, or rath-
er black, elephant on his hands. The
mineral wealth might be there in
abundance, but he could not get it out
and could not get it to market
How to cure this evil is a question
for congress to decide, and some solu-
tion is likely to be forthcoming this
winter. Some favor change in the
law increasing the area of coal land
that may be purchased by individuals
or by companies or corporations to such
size that they can proftably invest and
put the coal on the market. These men
would increase the price of coal land so
that the government would reap larg-
er benefit from the sales.
