WINTER WEAKNESS
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 of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we donot exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneys 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.

AROUSED GREAT PROTEST.

Paris, Feb. 3. = Everywhere in
France the actual putting into opera
ton of the clause of the church and
state separation bill which provides
for the making of inventories of the
property of the churches has aroused
a storm of protest. In several pro-
vincial parishes Catholics have gath
cred in the churches and made such
strong resistance that the govern
ment commissioners were unable to
enter the edifices In Paris violent
scenes took place in several churches,
notably that of St. Clothilde. An in
ventory of the property of the church
of st. Roch has not yet been made.
owing to the opposition of the congre-

every means at its disposal to compel
obedience to the enactment.

CAPTAIN OBEYED ORDERS.
COUSINS SAY HE DID ALL II

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 5.-Captain N.
E. Cousins, master of the steamship
Queen. which was ordered TO the re-
lief of the Valencia, was the principal
witness before the board of inspect
ors, which resumed it's investigation
into the disaster Captain Cousins
said:
I'VE went about three-fourths of
q mile of the wreck, but did not dare
to go nearer because of the thick
weather and high seas. Captain Pat
terson of the Topeka, informed me
that I was to proceed to San Fran
cisco with passengers, the Topeka re-
naming to pick up what survivors
there were. I obeyed orders and re-
turned to San Francisco. 1t was ut
terly impossible for us to do anything
as the wind was blowing hard and a
high sea was running.
From the master of the Gar

ported that the wreck had no lives

board. l told him he could do much
better than we could with the queen.

To be such q successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If woman finds that her energies
are tagging. that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from young wife:
Dear Mrs. Pinkhan:
Ever since my child was born 1 have suf-
fered. as hope few women ever have, with in
hammation, female weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so l could not enjoy my
meals. and half my time was spent in bed.
Lydia E. Pinkhcm's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and l feel so grateful
that 1 am glad to write and tell you of my
marvellous recovery. It brought me health,
new life and vitality Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un-
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia e Pinkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and

Saturday. February 8.

Washington. = The house sub-coin-
mittee of the committee on railways
and canals decided to report favor
ably bill granting federal charter
for the construction of a canal be-
tween Pittsburg and Lake Erie, the
lake entrance to the canal to be at
Ashtabula, Ohio.
The bill contemplates a canal 100
miles long and IL feet deep. with
company capitalization of approx
mately s50,00O,O00. The water way,
as is contemplated by the bill, is to
furnish cheap transportation for iron
ore from the Lake regions to the steel
works of Pittsburg with a new type
of boat which can be operated both
on the lakes and in the canal
Fifteen years is to be allowed for
the canals construction, though the
estimate of time actually necessary
is seven years. The subcommittee
has not fully considered the terms
Of the bill.
Major W. P. Richardson, U. S. A,
member of the railroad commission
of Alaska, today urged on the house
committee on territories the necessity
for additional railways in Alaska and
assured the members that the varied
wealth of Alaska guarantees the per-
maneney of its development.
The senate committee on foreign
relations today had the Santo Domin-
go treaty under consideration. Secre-
tary Root was heard in favor of the
treaty: No effort will be made to
reach an agreement until Mr. Roots
testimony has been printed.
The. division in the senate over the
railway rate bill seems now to hang
upon question of appeal to the
| courts from the decision of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission when it
| fixes maximum rate. The house bill
and the Dolliver-Clapp bill in the sen.
ate provide for no appeal, leaving it
to the railroad company to take any
case into the courts under the pres.
, ent laws. The opponents of the house
and similar bills insist that the right
of the railways to an ay1eal in every
case where the commission fixes a
rate must be given.
A review of the action of the com.
mission by the courts is the conten.
ton and it appears that the fight is
to be made on these lines. Senator
Elkins, chairman of the committee,
has had a conference with Senator
Dolliver on this subject, but they have
come to no agreement. Senator Dolli-
yer insists that the railroads have the
same protection in the courts as other
citizens, while Senator Elkins says
the right of review by a court of any
order of the commission reducing a
! rate, is necessary in order to protect
railroad properties.

GIVE FREE INSURANCE
EQUITABLE CARRIED 600 POLL
cIEs AT $1,000.
PURPOSELY FOR ITS EMPLOYEES,
Practice tias Been Going on Four
Years and There Has Been II
misunderstanding Not Brought in
Investigation.

New York, Feb. 3.-The fact that
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has for the last four years insured
free the lives of its 300 employees for
81 900 each became known.
Since the institution of the free in
surance scheme seventeen deaths
have occurred among the employees
and the society in consequence paid
out $4,000.
Paul Morton, president of the Equit-
able, in speaking of the matter, said:
when 1 entered the service of the
Equitable and learned about this sys-
tenn the propriety of continuing it
the board of directors the whole ques-
ton was brought up. 1t was decided
to refer the matter to the committee
on pensions, and it is still in their
hands. Whether the system trans
crosses any law I am not prepared to
say. That is question for the law
yers to answer. 1t is common prac-
tice of all large corporations nowadays
to carry insurance upon the lives OF
all their employees"
Vice President Gage Tarbell, who
is said to have originated the system
in the Equitable, declared that when
an employee died it did away with the
necessity of his fellow employees con-
tributing to a fund for his widow or
other dependent relatives. 1t also, he
said, induced an employee to continue
in the service of the Equitable, as the
insurance ceased the moment he sew
cred his connection with the society
The premiums were paid, Mr.. Tarbell
said, in lieu of slightly higher sal
ary The average cost of the insur-
ance to the Equitable was s13 year
per employe.

Irritation in China.

The question of modern irrigation
is one of the greatest importance to
North China and one which the Chin
csc government appears never to
have considered. Year after year the
crops fail from lack of rain, immense
tracts of country are laid waste, the
people suffer and become restless.
There is ample water to irrigate the
greater part of this territory, but to
do so requires large capital and a
wait of two or three years for returns.
The returns. however, would be great
and the security ample for any foreign
capital China might wish to borrow for
this purpose

made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
hox containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
Lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape- Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under E. etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E,
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening
It is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
