Ten years ago farmer put his ini- tials on dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neigh borS.
 The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the com munity. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors.

THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
 THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
 Has Been We'll Ever Since.

How many women-and men too are suffering from general decline in health which the ordinary remedies seem unable to checkl How many hus- bands see their wives wasting away, steadily losing health and beauty, and are powerless to help! Consumption and other germ diseases find in these debilitated systems easy prey, for the lowered vitality is unequal to the task or fighting off the infection of these diseases to which most of Us are almost daily ex- posed.
 The symptoms indicating the decline which may have results so fatal could scarcely be better described than in the statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of 92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case is 8 typical one. She says:
 "For six months after the birth Of my baby, suffered from sick, dizzy head aches, which seemed like @ rush of blood to my forehead, just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so could hardly see and black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought on this sickness. My appetite was poor and was often sick to my stomach.
 If tried to work my feet soon be- came swollen, paining me terribly. 1 had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. was so thin that l weighed only 90 pounds.
 "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders 1 decided to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills instead. l soon noticed that my headache was dis appearing and my nerves gradually grew stronger. The pills gave me 8 hearty appetite and 1 now weigh over l3O pounds. believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder 8 woman can take, as they certainly helped me when my condition was critical and have never been seriously ill since."
 The great value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. Tho stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do it's work.
 If you are ill and the treatment you are taking does not cure you, write for proof of what Dr. Williams Pink Pills l have done in similar cases.

They were men of exactly oppo- site types, and 1t would have been a hard matter, indeed, to find q sub iect upon which they could agree.

Wcmvs, on the other hand, is all soItness and sympathy, and the sort of man who believes in his fellows to the end.
 But surely even the most hard- encd criminals have some trace of a better nature,@ he urged.
