A KENTUCKY WOMAN
TELLS HOW Or. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS RESTORED HER HEALTH.
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds In
Weight and Became Well for the
First Time In Two Years.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future in their own hands. There
will be a change for the better or worse,
for tho better if the system is purified by
such tonic as DR.. Williams Pink pills.
Mrs. y. G. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky,
writes M follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
ct was seriously i'll and was confined
to INV bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. I had chills, fever,
rheumatism. Ny stomach seemed al.
ways too full my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles
"Iwas under the treatment Of several
different physicians but they nil failed
to do me any good After suffering for
two years | learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits Of Dr. Williams
Pink Pills and | decided that I would
try them. The very first box T took
made me feel better and when I had
taken four boxes more was entirely we'll,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best Of
health. I have recommended DR.. Viii.
liams' Pink Pills 60 many people on nc
count of what they did for me, and feel
that cannot praise them too strongly. "
DR.. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function Of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every mnscle, every nerve,
the nourishment necessary TO enable it
to do its part. Because DR.. Williams
Pink Pills make the blood rich and red
they restoreIost weight, strengthen and
revitalize the nerves, bring color TO the
cheeks. Danish rheumatic pains and
bring good health and spirits 10 the de

made by him Of Legislation affecting his
department:
As there seems to he some misunder-
standing about the system now In use by
the State in the conduct of its business

ceived by any officer or agent from
whatever source for the use Of the State"
is paid into the State treasury without
any abatement or reduction on account
OF salary, fees, costs. charges. expenses
or claims of any description whatever"
and that all claims agans, the state,
no matter of what MANURE, are paid by
an auditors order, the claim having
first been passed upon by the auditing
department. Vouchers are now required
to be furnished according to the provis-
ion of No. III of the Acts OF 1901 All
the state institutions are now required
to uso uniform system or accounting

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsatc, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach TO digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver TO secrcte bile.
In fact, nerve force is tho
power that runs your body, SO
if you. feel WORKOUT, irritable,

With the first of March this year
some changes in the township law go
into effect that it may be we'll to call
attention TO. Heretofore one of the
supervisors elected at the annual
town meeting has been designated
upon the ballot as chairman. Here
after, the board Of supervisors. each
year, at their first meeting after town
meeting, must elect one Of their num-
Der as chairman, with the exception
that if last year chairman was ell
ected for three years he will continue
to hold his office till the term for
which he was elected expires. In
other words the law contemplates,
when present conditions fully expire,
that each year one supervisor will be
elected for three years and each year
the board of supervisors, including
the new members, shall choose one OF
their number for chairman. Another
radical change in the law provides
that, in the election Of overseer Of
roads. the overseer of each district

Teachers Must File Certificate.

The attention OF teachers is called
to provision of the law enacted at
the last session of the legislature
pertaining to the filing of certificates
or diplomas. Teachers should pay
particular attention to the fact that
they cannot legally draw their sal
aries until they comply with this act.
The law covering the requirements is
hereunder reproduced:
Section 1. No person shall be &C
counted qualified teacher in any
common school district within the
meaning of the school law until such
person has filed fer record with the
county superintendent OF schools of
the county where such person intends
to teach certificate or diploma or
certified copy Of either authorizing
such person to teach school in such
county,
Section 2. County superintendent
OF schools shall record in their Offices
in u book provided by the board OF
county commissioners for such pur-
pose, all material facts concerning
teachers certificates and diplomas
presented for that purpose, and shall
certify to the holders of such certifi-
cate or diploma that such record has
been made.
Section 265 Of school laws says: No
teacher shall be entitled to receive a
third grade certificate more than
twice in the same county.
Section 266 says: The examination
shall be public and teachers desiring
to take the same may dismiss their
schools for that purpose for period
not exceeding two days in each year
without loss of pay.

The Inheritance Tax.

Considerable question has been
raised in regard to the Inheritance
tax recently upheld by the state sup
RENE court. State Auditor Iverson
has sent out letters of instruction
which produce much interest to the
public.
Ii is made clear, for one thing, that
the tax does not apply to estates in
gross, and that 1t applies only to the
distributive shares into which the
estate is divided. For instance, il
John Doe died leaving an estate of
S45, COO with but one heir, the tax
would apply to all over $4,000 OF the
bequest. or s35, 900. However, if there
were five heirs, each receiving $1,000,
there would be no tax, because each
inheritance would fall below the $lO,-
600 exemption. II he left $4,000
with legacies of 81 900 to ten persons
and the remainder, SOS, 900 to one per-
son there would be tax of per cent
on $4,000 of the $65. 900 so received,
and none on the ten small legacies.
In short, the tax Is assessed only
upon the amount in excess of 3d.
each inheritance.
The law is not retroactive, of course,
and since the bill was signed by the
governor April 10, 1905, and became
effective then, it applies only to the
estates of persons whose death has oc-
cured since that date. The tax be-
comes lien upon the estate upon the
death Of the decedent, and is payable
one year from such death. TO parcel
out ones estate in Anticipation of
death would not exempt the gift from
tax. since the law uses the word
gifts in such a manner as to cover
such transactions.

Electric SIN citing Success.

According to an announcement at
the Canadian 500, pig iron can be
made by electric smelling as proven
by government experiments just COM
pleted for $40 ton or s. less than the
cost of the old method, 1t is pre-
dicted that the iron and steel indus
try will be revolutionized as result.
Experiments have been secret, the ex-
penses being paid by the Dominion
government. The plants where the
work was done are owned by the Lake
Superior corporation. DIR. Aerault, a
French expert, had charge of the tests.
Canadians think 1t means the devel-
opment in the near future of large

BIG FORK VALLEY
New Town Open for Settlement
In Short Time.

The last of the towns in the Big
Fork country, in Itasca county. near
the Canadian border, will be opened
for homestead settlement some time
in April. The plat of town 6S north
range % west, was received from
Washington at the Duluth land office
Tuesday, and it is expected notifica-
tion of the exact date of opening will
be received before the end of the week.
The township is already alive with
"squatters," many OF whom have
been cultivating farms there for
years. The Rat Root river, flows
through the center of the town. Most
OF the filings it is expected, will be
made at International Falls before
the United States land commissioner.
With the opening of the new town
the state gets 5000 acres of swamp
land and two section (1.2S0 acres) OF
land for school purposes. Accom-
panying the plat is the following gen.
eral description by N. Y. Taylor, de-
putty surveyor:
"This township is very heavily tim
bered, there being no place except
along the river or on a clearing where
person can run over three or four
chains on the level. The land Is nearly
all level with the exception of few
stony lodges which are scattered
through the town. The soil ranges
from second rate agricultural to rocks.
The good soil is thin sandy loan
with vegetable deposit over clay sub
soil. The good land extends along the
Rat Root river and its tributaries,
sections 10, IA, Is. %, "a, 81 and IS,
also part Of sections 10 and 20 are ex-
ceptionally good for that part of the
country. But in the swamps the soil
is very sandy. The township is partly
drained by the Rat Root river, which
runs through the town and by the
many dry creeks, it is seen that the
water runs off quickly; also there is a
good fall between the swamps and the
river. so that the former could be
easily drained"
