ST. VITUS' DANCE
4 Child ct Ten Years Cured by D..
Williams Pink Pills.

~ Cntlo OF Ten Tears Sureo oy w.
Williams Pink Pills.
Children are doubtless punished many
times at school for not, keeping still or
for dropping things when the trouble is
really chorea, or St.Vitus' dance, as it is
popularity called.
Often the patient loses flesh and be-
comes pale and bloodless. A remedy
that cures st. Vitus' dance, and cures it
SO thoroughly that no trace of the dis
ease remains, is DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
A recent cure is that Of Georgia, the TEN
year-old daughter of Mrs. ID. M. Ream,
of Conemaugh. Pa. Mrs. Ream says:
when Georgia started to school last
year she had stomach trouble and after
ward her mouth began 70 twitch. She
would shake all over and could not be
still. After few months her mind be-
came affected. She was under the care
of two doctors for almost four months.
When she had been sick for about seven
months we heard of case like Georgia 8
that had been cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. 1t was i'll the latter part OF
February that she commenced TO take
the pills and they made the greatest
change in her. They not only cured
every trace of the St. Vitus' dance but
helped her in every way. She never was
very stout until after she took the pills,
but now she has gained in weight. She
goes to school every day and is well and
happy"
Dr.Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood to carry health and strength to
every part of the body. They have
cured severe cases of bloodlessness. i'll
digestion, influenza, headaches, lum,
bago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness
spinal weakness and the special ailments
Of girls and women whose blood supply

all that his marse general did. On the
sly he participated In the refreshments,
and consequently shared the social eleya-
ton of the comps ~. when he would fall
against the wall and laugh out loud at
good story. On this particular evening
when the general awoke with a parching
thirst and called: 'Esau. You Esau.

San Francisco, July 25.-The demand
for labor in California promises TO ex-

Der of laborers for prospective work
and that under way. The Southern Pa
cific needs 1900 men. the Western Pa

Help Needed In Vineyards.
The vineyardists of the San Joaquin

 That Mary Queen of Scots possessed one of the most famous libararies of her time is proved by two lists, made in 1869 and 1578, of her books at Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. These were quite representative of the best li- terature up to her period, numbering 231, and could be claimed to be much superior to the libraries at the univer- sities. What became of most of these is still a great mystery, one suggestion being that they were appropriated by the regent, and that they were there fore destroyed by the burning of his house of Donebristle in Fife at the time of the murder of his son-in-law.

Cold, darkness and monotony-such are the characteristic features of the ocean bed. The composition of the floor itself is the only thing that changes though this is only the case close to the cost, as no alteration (for very lit t1e) seems to occur at great depths. Investigations made with drags, dred- gers, sounding apparatus and the like have shown that it is an error to as sume that the bed of the ocean Is cov- cred with sand, as this latter is essen tially a coast formation only found in comparatively shallow water, close to the shores.
 Mud begins to take it's place the further we go af1eld-mud or, rather, ooze. It's origin varies considerably; part consists of the alluvial deposit brought down by rivers.

4nR VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Dew People Know How Useful it is iM PreGerving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient dis nfectant and purifier in nature but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose,
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not D drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities alway present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking pr after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and ominently safe cathartic,
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal LoSenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptlcs in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complex ion, sweeter breath and purer blood and the beauty of 1t Is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great ben' eft.
 A Buffalo physician, in speaking oi the benefits of charcoal, says: q ad- wise Starts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them They cost but twenty-five cents boz at drug stores, and although in soma sense a patent preparation, yet I be- lieve get more and better charcoal in stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any ef thS ordinary charcoal tablets"
