WINTER WEAKN ESS
Or. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much or the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneysd do
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off, Relief can be had only
through the use of remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case,"
said Mrs. Clara l.. Wilde, Of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. 81
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out OF or
der. 1 can't describe how miserable I
really was. / dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn 'tstrength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then glad day came, the day when
I began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
| They made me feel strong right away.
MY appetite came back, / took OH flesh
| and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. l took
only six boxes and then was perfectly
well. If had not found this wonderful
remedy surely think that must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at critical mo-
ment, unhesitatingly recommend them
to others"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant but give strength that lasts.
They may be obtained at any drug
store.

Farmer Paid Much Money for Peace
that Didn't Come.

From a town near Erfurt in Ger
many comes this tale OF wise
woman an ignorant farmer and an
imitation Beelzebub. The wise WON
an" lives at Langensalza and claims to
have the power to cast out evil spir-
its. farmer and his family who had
for some time been troubled by evil
dreams and harassed by various minor
misfortunes came to the conclusion
that Satan had his hand in their af-
fairs, so they consulted the wise
woman" She prescribed that the
family should go to certain spot
among the neighboring hills, where
they were to bury new earthen pot
containing several gold coins. The
devil, attracted by the money, would
empty the pot and leave the family in
peace.
A novelty was introduced by the
wise woman" into the program. This
was the letting off Of fireworks from
the spot where the money was buried
as soon as the duped family had re-
tired on their way home. These sa-
tanic pyrotechnics were managed by
an accomplice, but the wise woman
explained to the farmer that they were
caused by Beelzebub's departure with
mammOn.
But these offerings to the evil one
brought no relief, although the sums
| in the earthen pot went on increasing
| Light at last dawned on the farmer
| He put the matter in the hands Of the
| police. His payments to procure a re
| lease from Satans attentions amount
ed to 10000 marks ($16,S00).

Where Children Are Sold.

On the same steamer by which
reached Benguela there were five little
native boys, conspicuous in striped
jerseys, and running about the ship
like rats. l suppose they were about
10 to IL years old, perhaps less. | dc
not know where they came from, but
it must have been from some fairly
distant part of the Interior for like
all natives who see stairs for the first
time they went up and down on their
hands and knees. They were travel
ing with a Portuguese, and within
week of landing at Benguela he had
sold them all to other white owners.
Their price was so milreis apiece
(near f10). Their owner did rather
well, for the boys were small and thin
hardly bigger than another native
slave boy who was at the same time
given away by one Portuguese friend
to another as a New Years present.
But all through this part OF the coun-
try | have found the price Of human
beings ranging rather higher than
expected, and the man who told me
the price of the boys had himself
been offered one of them at that fig
ure, and was simply passing on the
offer on to myself. -Henry W. Nivin
son in Harper's Magazine.
