STEEL TRUST MAN FEARS.

NEW YORK, March 24.-The threat
of the American Federation of Labor to
enter the political field, made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt Wednesday, brought a
reply from E. H. Gary of the United
States Steel corporation. He gave his
warm approval to recent speeches of
President Roosevelt.
perhaps more danger is to be feared
from possible unreasonable political ac-
ton" said Mr.. Gary. 1T is a mistake
to suppose every important enterprise or
combination is permeated with vice.
There is a possibility of creating such
distrust as to brighten capital, which al
ways is timid, to such an extent the
business conditions may be adversely af-

Get RID OF The GAS
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Strenatnep
the Stomach and Enable IL to
Do It's Work

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
wal,s of the stomach and cause inter
ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves ana the brain are disturbed
and -ea1scomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish just as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough TO digest the food.
In other words, it needs a tonic that viii
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva O. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: q had weak stomach
from the time I was little child
Whenever I took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and I would
finally vomit what [ had eaten At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body For days in succession, [ would
have to lie down most of the time
The distress was often so great that
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
disagreeable, too.
My DOCTORS medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until I tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills that found a cure.
Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body were not SO intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for a few weeks longer I found
that I was altogether free from the
miseries had SO long suffered"

any for the summer. | believe that every
