HONEST MEDICINE
TRY DIP. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by
Guarantee That Must Convince
The Most SkepticaI.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are doctors
prescription, used by an eminent prac.
titioner, and for nearly generation
known as q reliable household remedy
throughout the United States. Need
less to say, no advertised medicine could
retain popular favor for so long period
without having great merit and it is the
Invaluable curative properties of the pills
that have made them standard remedy
in every civilized country in the world.
Added to this is the absolute guarantee
that the pills contain no harmful drug,
opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A recent
evidence of their efficacy is found in the
statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, Of
Boyley, Ark, who says:
81 had suffered for good many years
from stomach trouble. For long time
was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
Undesirable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever was
q little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
Il was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nOunced my trouble chronic lnt1dmml-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time l have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to f1ut-
tering of the heart and feeling as
though l was smothering. My general
health was very bad and l was weak and
trembling.
81 had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When began taking
the pills was so rundown i'll strength
that l could hardly do any housework
Now l could walk ten miles if necessary
Both my husband and myself think Dr.
Williams Pink Pills the best medicine
made and we always recommend the
pills to our friends"

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
AbeYs All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes sick
room there is an added reason why ex.
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts Of the
day.
If there is any susricion of damp.
ness in a bedroom it is probably due,
if there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities Of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, Ill
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because Of its dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala.
pastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never fakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens
the pores Of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waXed, and the window cas-.
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as we'll as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

THE RANKING SITUATION

The worst seems to be over in
New York, thanks mainly to the
assistance rendered to the banks by
the United States treasury depart
ment by President Roosevelt's
orders or at least with his approval,
hut the effort to sustain New York s
financial institutions has had the
effect Of draining the rest Of the
country Of all loose currency. 1t is
this shortage Of currency that is
making the situation acute at other
points.
So far as the entire northwest is
concerned there can be no doubt
that the banks were never on a more
substantial or sounder basis. They
are all carrying unusually large
reserves Of ready money and each,
individually, is in position to prove
to any doubling Thomas among its
depositors that it is amply able. to
discharge all its liabilities at the
shortest possible notice.
This is especially true Of the
three Wallace banks which were
practically the last in the north
west to abandon currency payments
in favor OF cashiers checks and
clearing house certificates, which
system they only adopted when
forced to by the action Of reserve
banks throughout the country.
They have always kept their
depositors advised by means Of
monthly or quarterly reports Of
their exact condition with the re-
suit that not one dollar Of deposits
has been withdrawn from either OF
our three banks because their de-
positors had and have absolute
confidence in their institutions,
based on the reports Of their con-
dition which have shown con.
stantly increasing cash reserve.
People may kick about conservative
banking methods but in the long
rn they are the only kind that
pay.
