RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED
Mrs. Gotta, Confined to Bed and In
Conotant Pain, Cured by DR..
Williams Pink Pills.


Rheumatism can be inherited and that
fact proves it to be disease of the blood.
1t is necessary, therefore, to treat it
through the blood if permanent cure
is expected. External applications may
give temporary relief from pain but as
long as the poisonous acid is in the blood
the pain will return, perhaps in a new
place, but it will surely return. DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism be-
cause they go directly to the seat of the
disorder, purifying and enriching the
blood.
Mrs. Henry Gotta, of West Cheshire,
Conn.,, is the wife of the village ma
chinist. "Several years ago." she says,
81 was laid up with rheumatism in my
feet, ankles and knees. l was in con-
slant pain and sometimes the affected
parts would swell SO badly that could
not get about at all to attend to my
household duties. There was one period
of three weeks during which was con-
fined to the bed. My sufferings We're
awful and the doctor medicine did not
help me.
"One day neighbor told me about
DIR. Williams Pink Pills and decided to
try them. After I had taken them a
short time was decidedly better and
few more boxes cured me. What is
better, the cure was permanent"
Remember DIR. Williams Pink Pills do
not act OH the bowels. They make new
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
tone up the stomach and restore impaired
digestion, bring healthful, refreshing
sleep, give strength to the weak and make
miserable, complaining people strong,
hungry and energetic. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six
boxes $3.50, by the DIR. Williams Medi-
cire Co., Schenectady, NY.

Dame Fashion has decreed most
anything and everything in the way
of hats for the winter season. We
may even have freak hats II we
want them, and the New York mill
liners are showing many of these, but
they are not selling, or, at least, they
are not being worn by the really
fashionable women.
Absurd angles are not the most
striking thing about the winter mod
els as they were about the hats Of
last spring The new hats sit more
sQuarely upon the head; and II the
hat does tilt gracefully to one side
1t is so built up with bandeau, cache
peigne, etc., that it seems part of
the head and couture instead of being
obviously an alien element stranded
upon an homogeneous resting place.
There are small hats in evidence,
but save in the case of the soldier
cap turban and a few other models
these small hats are conservative in
their poise, If sometimes rather radl-
cal in their shapes.
Many narrow turbans, usually drap-
ed, of beaver. felt, velvet or other
soft material are among the street
hats, and uncommonly smart effects
are obtained in these shapes, but they
are not rakishly tiptilted and often
the trimming is divided evenly be-
tween the two sides of the, turban SO
that the latter is fat upon the head.
If the left side is raised from the head
the elevation is but a slight one. and
only in the back Is the bandeau a
radical one.
Another type of small street hat
which promises to be popular has a
round. rather low crown and a mar

the delivery of the mail insisted upon
taking him home with him as he
