HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are a Specific for Dangerous
Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary
according to the cause but weakness is
always present, a tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
sometimes black spots passing before
the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful.
ness caused by inability to stop thinking,
and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of
the trouble may be some drain on the
system or it may be mental or physical
overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri.
tion due to digestive disturbance. In
the latter case there is generally a loss of
appetite and a coated tongue as well as
general languor and debility.
Miss Lula NJ. Metzger, a stenographer.
living at II Mill street, Watertown, NY.
suffered for over year from general
debility. "1t was caused by overstudy,"
she says, "and had no ambition, didn't
want to go anywhere, my food didn't
taste good, I was run down, lifeless and
istless. took medicines but they failed
to help me: Finally friends recon-.
mended DIR. Williams Pink Pills to nv
mother and she got some for me. 1 took
them for some time and was entirely
cured and have had no return of the

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new. red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and tissues
of the body, nerves as well as muscles,
the new blood stimulates the organs to
do the work that nature expects of them
and normal health follows. Not only
is this treatment sufficient to cure de-
bility but many severe nervous disorders
as well.

When 10 an Old Maid?

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo, is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila.
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes. but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? OF course.
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi.
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu
line head storm of reprobation. II
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.
Under this ruling a woman is a ten.

TROUBLE IN CUBA.
Red Hot Political Campaign Causes Ri
otous Demonstrations.


Havana.-The political situation in
Cuba is growing hot. The Liberals are
not only criticising Governor Magoop
for his slowness in turning the Moder-
ates out of office, but are falling out
among thmselves. The campaign to
elect successor to former President
Palma has begun, and as it is expected
that the election will be held next
June, and the Liberals are sure of sue
cess, the contest for the nomination
will grow warm. American citizens
and many Cubans are egging on the
rivals to precipitate trouble that will
end both parties.
Demonstrations were made Saturday
night in the streets by the faction in
favor of Juan Miguel Gomez for Pres
ident, and later by other Liberals sup
porting Senator Alfredo Zayas, the di-
vision not being solely on the color
line, for both aspirants are white, al
though the negroes are mostly for Co.
mez.
On the other hand, Juan Gualberto
Gomez, the negroes natural leader, is
for Zayas, who has the support of the
older Liberals, the younger men seem
ing to prefer his rival. They nearly
created a riot last night by shouting:
Death to Estrada Palma and all Mod
crates" ''Long life to Jose Miguel Co.
meZ."
Col. Jose Estrampes met them, his
pistol in hand, in front of the Ingle-
terra, with the cry, Down with the
!niggers." Friends carried him OF bod
lily to save his life. Cries of Death to
,Estrampes; we'll have the Jobs or
make this Santo Domingo" were set
up by the mob, and the police has hard
work to prevent serious trouble.

AR RMY'S HEALTH.
UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS CON-
PARED WITH OTHERS.
LEAST DEATHS IN PRUSSIA

Death Rate in Our Army Shows Slight
Decrease-TubercuIo Most Dead
iy pisease-More Medical Offices
Badly Needed.
Washington.-The report on the
work Of the medical department Of the
army by Surgeon General r. NJ. O'Reil-
ly, Just made public, goes into that ser
vice during the calendar year 1905, and
also compares the health of the differ
ent armies of the world, as far as pos
sible.
The highest rate of admission to the
sick report is held by the Dutch army,
whose rate is 1921 per thousand men,
with the American army ranking sec
ond with 1895, and the Russian army
holding the lowest rate Of 3.4S per
thousand men.
The British army ranks first in
death rate, with 7.13 per thousand
men, the American army having the
next highest, G.2s. The Prussian army
has the lowest rate, per thousand
men.
An important factor in judging the
relative healthfulness of the different
armies is the average duration of each
case of sickness, the American army,
according to their standard, exceeding
all others except the Dutch and Ba-
varian.
The total number of admissions to
the sick report during the year was
73,742, equal to an admission rate of
1,295.97 per thousand men. compared
with 1,354.S9 for the previous year and
1.093.01 for the sexennial period from
1898 to 1908.
The death rate was also much bet
ter than for the previous year, there
being 3GS deaths from all causes, an
equivalent to 6.2S per thousand, as
compared with CTS for the previous
year.
AS a cause Of death tuberculosis led
with rate of .68, slight increase as
compared with the previous year.
Pneumonia was second, rate .32.
! In q chapter devoted to recruiting,
the report shows that as a result of
the reduction of the minimum age for
enlistment from twenty-one years to
eighteen, there resulted an enlistment
of 1870 men under twenty years of
age.
Speaking Of the health of the troops
in the Philippines, the report says
that all the rates, except the death
rate from disease, were lower than in
1904. tuberculosis alone caused nearly
fifty per cent. of the discharges and
more than twenty per cent. Of the
deaths from disease.
Surgeon General O'Reilly states that
the medical department is very badly
In need of officers and that unless Con-
igress comes to its assistance 1t will be
impossible for the department to reach
in high degree Of efficiency or to es-
cape a lamentable breakdown on the
occurrence Of war.

Here is something from a govern
ment report that sounds like anomaly,
yet is fraught with the gravest signifi-
canoe: During the seven months end
ing July 81. 1906. there was but one
case of yellow fever in the city of
Panama and that was not fatal. Dur
ing the single month Of July there
were 124 deaths from pneumonia in
the city of Panama. The significance
of this Is that pneumonia becomes
more and more the captain Of the
men OF DEATH" and this under the
equator AS well as in colder climes.
Medical science has no more pressing
duty than finding means to fight this
ever-growing menace to the human
race.

Among the cherished memories Of q

teacher Of her childhood. whose theory

pie: Learn to read well. young ladies

and all other virtues will follow" II
II possible that the requirement Of all
the virtues seems a slightly more COM
piicated matter than 1t did to the old
gentleman of 20 years ago. Neverthe-
less. the advice is not to be laughed
away. II only because It recalls the
days when reading aloud was counted
one of the most desirable OF the fine
arts of life. This is no reflection upon
the art of reading as taught in these
latter days: the question is not Of the
actual process, but of the place that
reading aloud used to hold in family
life. Many a gray-haired man or wom-
an who never heard of round tables"
and never discovered that authors had
early or late styles. yet knows his
Scott or Thackeray or Shakespeare as
few young people Of to-day ever know
them. In part, this is due to the fact
that the field of reading now covered
by young people is much larger than
It was half a century ago. A deeper
cause lies In the decline OF the habit
of reading aloud. declares the Youths
Companion. We have no time now to
read aloud. we say. Perhaps not: yet
before we decide, might 1t not be well
to consider whether any other recrea-
ton offers more permanent pleasure
or greater enrichment to the life.
Books read aloud winter evenings

sharing the interest and the discus
sions. will hold warmth of color
