AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
a NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY DR.. WILLIAMS FINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makec Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as a
Tonic for the Nerves.

Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health Of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up TO do their part of the work of the
body DR.. Williams Pink Pills mako
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty
avenue, South Medford, Mass, says:
Il had never been well from child
hood and few years ago I began to
have dizzy spells. At such times could
not walk straight. I was afraid of
paralysis and was on the verge of
nervous prostration. Then neuralgia
set in and affected the side of my face.
The pains in ny forehead were excru-
ciating and my heart panied me so that
ny doctor feared neuralgia of the heart
tried several different kinds of treat
ment but they did me no good.
Zone day my son brought me some of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and l found
that they strengthened my nerves. I
took several boxes and felt better in
every way. There were no more dizzy
attacks, the neuralgia left me and have
been a well woman ever since.

How 1t Happened.

Uncounted ages ago, while the Egyp-
tan sphinx was young and tender, there
came season much like this one.
The day being unusually warm, with
a promise of warmer days to come, the
sphinx changed her garments and put on
lighter ones.
Within a few minutes the weather be-
came 40 degrees colder.
The sphinx sneezed with great violence,
and her nose dropped off.
Petrifed with astonshment, she re-
manned rooted to the spot.
And has remained there ever since.

Tears Kill Disease Germs.

Dr. c. Lindahl of Copenhagen tells in
the London Lancet of his discovery that
tears have the power to kill various bac-
terra which produce disease in the human
body. This bacteriacidal capacity of the
lachrymal fluid is not due to its inor-
ganisms which it contains, known as leu
cocytes. The fluid when heated and
cooled fails to prevent the growth of bac-
terra to the same degree as when in its
normal state.

The first cooperative experiment
ever tried in the nations capital is an
attempt by the $4,000 government en-
pIoyes of Washington to reduce the eX-
cessive cost of living by organizing a
cooperative department store. 4 pre-
liminary organization has been formed
and plans are now being perfected. The
cooperative societies of England and
Australia are to be models. The army
and navy and the civil service cooper
alive societies of London have attained
worldwide reputation for their sue
cess, and a special committee is now
in communication with their managers
to get details. During the past ten
years the cost of living in Washington
has increased from II to % per cent,
while the salaries of government en-
DlOyes have remained stationary. The
consequence is that government en-
plOyes are praying for panic times.
They say if this terrible prosperity con-
tinues they will be ground into the
earth. The plan for the new store is
to sell the goods at current market
rates, and then to return the profit to
members. Ten per cent will be set
aside as a sinking fund to improve
the store, An experienced man will be
chosen for manager and will be paid

The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion is weakness OF the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Muscles.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles TO
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges-
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver In
such way as TO make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
instead OF increased, as it must be with all
other Cathartics and Laxatives.

Increase in the price of meat, alleged
to be due to the action Of the big pack
ing establishments in refusing to pay
commission men and stock raiSers for
animals which fail to pass the govern
ment inspection required by the new
meat inspection law, will, in all prob
ability, cause debate and may bring
about legislation in the next Congress.
The action of the packers is expected
to arouse particularly those members
of Congress who have insisted that the
packers should pay the cost of the
meat inspection, for which Congress
now appropriates 100000 annually.
One of the arguments used against this
proposal has been the allegation that
the packers weld at once shift the cost
of the inspection to the cattle raisers.
Now that the packers propose to shift
the loss from condemned carcaSSes
while at the same time they profit by
the advertisement of the government
guaranty of the wholesomeness of their
products the proponents of the plan to
make them pay for the government in
spection insist they have an argument.
Senators Beveridge of Indiana and Gal
linger of New Hampshire have already
promised to renew the fight in the next
Congress.
