GUARD YOUR HEALTH
Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
BOON TO ALL WOMEN.
Used to Keep the Blood Rich and
Pure They Will Prevent Much
Suffering and Misery.

AS q woman approaches the age of
forty or thereabouts, she should pay
particular attention to her health. TING
hard work, which she may have been
accustomed to do and the worry and ex-
element of her daily life should be
lessened or avoided as much as possible.
As her health after she passes this time
will depend in large ne sure upon it,
every woman owes it to herself 10 build
up her strength during these years. For
this purpose DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have been recognized as the standard
medicine, because of their great blood
and tonic properties.
Mrs. Hannah A. Lozier, of 1851 Mich
igan Ave, Detroit, Mich, says:
II began taking DR.. Williams Pink
Pills about four years ago, after had
been suffering for some years from dizzy
spells and nervousness which were
brought on by overwork. l tried several
medicines without help and all the time
became more irritable, nervous and
weak. At times 1 had no appetite and
could eat nothing. At intervals of every
two or three days, my heart seemed to
rise up in my throat and would have
to lie down until the feeling passed
away. I also had dull aching pains
under my right shoulder aud across my
back. When 1 looked up | would see
black spots. Occasionally l would be-
come so dizzy that l had to steady myself
to keep from falling.
81 decided to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and after l had taken them short
time the dizzy spells became less frs-
quent and finally stopped. Much sooner
than had expected or hoped l was en-
tirely well and l now feel like new
person altogether"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are adapted
for diseases due to impure blood and
shattered nerves. They are invalu-
able in anRmia, rheumatism, after
effects of the grip and fevers and in sick
headaches, dizziness, nervousness, neu-
ralgia, and even partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia.
A valuable booklet entitled "Plain
Talks to Women will be sent free. in

WHAT RUSSIA DID FOR US.
An Alleged Authentic Bit of Unwritten
History.

history.
Interest III the Alaska Yukon-Pacific
exposition. which will be held at Seat
tie in 1909 to exploit the territory has
brought to light an Old bit of secret
history of the times of the civil war
1t now appears from the story of all
old sailor who fought under Admiral
Farragut that the purchase of Alaska
from Russian in 1867 for 81 2OO, 600 by
William II. Seward. secretary of state
was not only made to please Russia
and to express the thanks of the Unit
ed States for Russa'S friendship for
the north 10y taking from the ear at
a high figure what he thought was a
bit of useless property, but was also
part of deeply laid bit of the diplo-
macy of those stirring times. In fact. 1t
would look now as if the purchase Of
Alaska were portion of the price that
the United States paid Russia for keep
ing 100000 men at Cronstadt during
the latter years of the war in order to
have them available for Americas use
and for embarkation on active service
as an ally of the north did Great Brit
ain openly espouse the cause of the
Confederacy.
And another portion of the service
rendered by Russia for the Alaskan
purchase price was the lending of 800
Of her best sailors for service in the
American fleet, with Russian officers
to translate the orders of the Ameri-
can commanderS These men, accord
ing to the story of the old sailor
fought for some months under Farra
gut made brilliant showing and final
ly were shipped back to their native
shore in the same surreptitious manner
that marked their arrival.
The storg is given In the Portland
Oregonian of Jan. Is last, The writer
Gabriel Justus Dahlgren, relates that
he got the story from resident of
Salem, Ore. one Thomas Thompson, a

IRELAND IN THE CIVIL WAR.
Archbishop Was a Chaplain and Was

VERY few of the friends of Arch

chaplain during the civil war" says

the archbishop
II have known Archbishop Ireland
for many years" continued Mr.. Thorn
ton, land he told me of an incident
which l do not believe many persons
know of, for | think it has never been
published. The archbishop, then n
south and was taken seriously Ill, so
i'll, indeed, that he was ordered by the
doctors to the general hospital at
Vicksburg. He was sent on board a
boat bound for that point and was so
weak that he could hardly talk. He
asked his nurse for glass Of water,
which had been prohibited by the doc
tor. The nurse repeated the request
to the physician on board the boat, and
the latter, after examining the chap
lain, babe the nurse give him anything
he wanted, for said the doctor, 'he
will not be alive when we reach Vicks-
burg, and we might as well give him
whatever he desires in the few remain
ing moments of his life But the chap
lain, who was afterward to become
one of the strongest powers In the
Catholic church of America, surprised
the physicians. He was alive when he
reached Vicksburg and astonished ev-

nERHAPs the saddest story of

IA n Confederate family directly
after the great conflict. Mrs.

Mt first hand tells it as follows in the
New York Sun:
THE soldier had enlisted in Georgia
from his home, where his father re-
manned undiSturbed during the strug-
gle. The young man had fought through
the war without scratch, save
slight wound which had left him
partially deaf. This affliction he had
never referred to in any of his letters.
After the surrender he communi-
Gated with his father, saying he would
reach home on or about a certain date.
Travel then was uncertain. and he was
not positive as TO when he would ar
rive. His father prepared to receive
him. Believing that his son would
come as promised, he arranged
spread such as the conditions of his
surroundings ut that time would per
nit. He had brought out his best
plates that had been secreted for
long time, and with gold which had
been eXhumed he bought such delica-
cies and substantials as the southern
market at that time afforded
