AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.


DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
a former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in its grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
MY trouble began about six years
ago and l did not rest as l should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After time I became SO
weak could not do any work at all.
1 lad sevJ2e backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times 1 saw black
spots before them. 1 consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
81 lost continually in weight and
strength and was almost in despair
when a friend recommended DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. l tried them ac-
cording to directions and soon began
to feel relief. At the end of three
months 1 had gained ten pounds in
weight and had no more trouble WITH
my nerves. l have been in perfect
health ever since and can heartily
commend DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent postpaid. on re-
ceipt of price, so cents per box. six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

Destruction of Fleas.

The Agricultural Research institute
of Bengal has concluded series of
scientific experiments to determine
the best method of destroying feas,
the investigation having special ref
erence to checking the ravages of the
plague.
The formula recommended is the
free use of crude oil emulsion-80 per
cent. of crude petroleum mixed with
20 per cent of whale oil soap. This
combination makes a jelly which
mixes freely with water. and is gen.
orally used at three per cent. solution,
while at 16 per cent. it destroys all
fleas with perfect certainty. 1t is APP

with it will be entirely relieved of the
pests.

Impure AIr.

The importance of ventilation and OF
a constant supply of fresh air in liv-
ing-rooms and wherever man abides,
whether sleeping or waking, has often
been mentioned in these columns.
Without air life is impossible. and .un-
less that air be moderately pure.
health cannot be maintained, although
it is astonishing, and proof of the
wonderful adaptation of living beings
to their environment, to note how
great an amount of impure air can be
endured with seeming impunity. There
are two forms of impurity in the air
gaseous and solid. The gases, those
resulting from the exhalations from
the lungs, and in city houses from the
little, unnoticed leaks from the gas
pipes and from defective plumbing. are
the most injurious. For the removal
of these, says New York Weekly, free
ventilation from open windows and
open fireplaces is most efficacious, but
1t Is of little service in the removal of
the other kind of impurity; that is to
say, the solid particles of matter
dust-which are always floating in the
air of houses as well as in that of the
streets. A beam of sunlight entering
through a half-closed shutter makes
visible this dust, and as one looks with
startled eyes on the beam, which
lights up the floating particles, the
wonder grows that the lungs are not
made solid by this stream of dust in
hailed with every breath. Fortunately,
the nose and the moist lining Of the
air-tubes are designed to filter the air
by arresting these particles before
they can enter the delicate air
chambers of the lungs. They do their
work well. but not perfectly, and the
greater the amount of dust the more
they fail in their functions.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The senate
committee on Indian affairs today
received from the secretary of the
interior a copy of the report of Will
liam D. Foulke, a special inspector
in the Indian service, who investi-
gated charges against William o.
Beall, secretary to the commission
er having in charge the affairs Of
the five civilized tribes.
Foulke found Beall guilty of i'm
prophecies in accepting employment
from the firm of Mansfield, McMur-
ray & Cornish, attorneys for the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
which practice before the commits
sion in resisting claims for the en-
rollment of various persons as citi-
zens of those nations. Beall was
charged with helping to prepare
these cases and then advising the
commissioner as to the decisions
that should be given, and in some
cases deciding them himself
Mr.. Foulke recommended that
Beall be separated in the future

cases as completely "as if he were
no longer living"
The firm of Mansfield, McMurray
& Cornish is the one recently
awarded by the government a $780,

noon and evening. over 100 names, had
been obtained by O'Clock last evening
and today there was a rush OF voters OF
the ward who desired to get Mr.. Gamer
on the official ballot by signing his pa
pers. In fact so many names were volun-
teered that Mr. Gamer had to stop taking
them for fear that some good and active
Democrats might not be available for the
party caucus next year.
Mr.. Gamer and his associates at a meet

That as the Hepburn act was passed
