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

As woman approaches the age of
forty or Whereabouts, she should pay
particular attention TO her health. The
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 measure upon 1T,
every woman owes it to herself to 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. tried several
medicines without help and all the time
became more irritable, nervous and
weak. At times l 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 r1ght shoulder ana across my
back. When I looked up would see
black spots. Occasionally I would be-
come so dizzy that had to steady myself
to keep from falling.
Il decided TO try DIR. Williams Pink
Pills and after had taken them a short
time the dizzy spells became less fire.

than had expected or hoped was en-

VIEWS OF JAMES M'CREA.

James McCrea, president of the
Pennsylvania lines East and West,
who has just returned from a month S
trip through Europe, said that Eng
land is well governed. THE people
are most tenacious of their rights I'M
der the law They know the law and
they demand a recognition of ali their
rights But at the same time they re-
spect the law and live up to it in its
smallest detail. In England the max
ing of an alteration of a law is a
most serious subject. Legislation is
considered matuIely, earnestly, while
here the tendency is too much, | re-
greet to say, toward the exploiting of
individual ideas. Take one instance
effecting railroads and other interests
along the line of the Panhandle from
Pittsburg, say to Steubensville, 0. An
act in certain directions in Pittsburg
is unlawful in Ohio and West Virginia
and an act lawful in Ohio and West
Virginia is unlawful in Pittsburg." In
a general way he was of the opinion
that we have too much law making.
Still / am not advocating greater CEN
of power" said Mr.. Nc
Crea, that is too dangerous"

LlncoLN's GROCERY.

Result OF One Partners Hunger and
TIE Other Partners Thirst.
A giant in stature. he was as awk-
ward as he was strong. His rustic ap-
pearance was enhanced by an i'll fitting
suit Of homespun. Thus at the head of
the OK team he made his debut in the
outer world. without means, without
education. without influence. This may
seem a sorry beginning, but let 1T be
remembered that If on that day he had
graduated from Harvard in a fashion
able coat the gates of history would
probably have been closed against him.
Mr.. I.incoln's first business venture
resulted In downright failure. He
formed a partnership with one Berry.
under the firm name of Berry & Lin
coin, to carry on a grocery. for the pur-
chase price Of which the firm note was
given. Berry was jolly. irresponsible
soul, who was born thirsty and who
gave his undivided attention to that
part of the stock known as wet gro
cenes." Mr.. Lincoln. on the other
hand. having keen appetite, devoted
himself to the crackers and cheese,
smoked behring's and other edibles at
the dry end of the shop. This happy
adjustment rivaled the familiar case
of Jack Sprat and his congenial spouse.
but the rneager stock could not long
withstand the inroads of hunger at the
one end and thirst at the other, and a
crisis came which required the sale of
the remnant of stock. The purchaser
defaulted, and Mr.. Lincoln was left to
pay all the liabilities-a task which
plagued him for several years. There
by he had impressed upon him legal
proposition that a partner Is liable In
solido.
1t Is related that Mr. Lincoln bought
a barrel Of a customer. In the bottom
OF which. among other rubbish, was
found copy of 'Blackstone's Com
mentaries." This was great find for
the law student, but as the book there
after engrossed his attention the gro
Gerry business collapsed. Thus ended

HE HAD HIS DOSE.
An Incident of the Terrible Battle o.
Montnirail.

An Incident of the Terrible Battle Of
Montmiraii.
In February, 1914. the French army
made a heroic stand against the allied
forces of Europe. and in one week re-
trieved for a short but glorious period
its lost prestige. Though composed
largely of half raw recruits, it escaped
from the very center of 100000 foes,
attacked an army OF 10000 men, won
4 battles and captured IS cannon, .
generals and $4,000 prisoners!
After the terrible fight at Montmirail
Major Bancel, staff surgeon to the
guard, was attending the wounded as
well as he could, close behind the col
umns still enga ged. Looking up from
one unfortunate man whose wounds
he was dressing. he perceived within
a short distance an old mounted chas-
seur of the guard, who was TRANQUILITY
smoking his pipe and watching the
surgeon.
BanceI did not at first pay any at
tention to him. BY and by he noticed
the man again, still in the same pos
ture, TRANQUILITY smoking his pipe.
What are you doing there!" cried
the surgeon.
Smoking" answered the man.
"Does the major forbid me to smoke"
WHAT returned the officer. Aren't
you ashamed to be loafing around here
while your comrades are covering
themselves with gloryT'
The chasseur blew out a cloud of
smoke and, driving his right spur into
his steed. made him execute a half
turn. Then he said, taking his pipe
out of bis mouth:
Look, major. Don't you think ]
have got my dose as 1t is? Can 1 do
anything moref'
The major looked. The chasseur's
leg wss shot off half way between the
knee ard the ankle. so that his left foot
was hanging and dangling against his
horse. The veterans question required
no answer. But 1t may be surmised
what care and attention the surgeon
Iavished on the imperturbable chas
seur.

Good Roads Improvement Co.
Now Has an Agent Work
ing in Richmond.
PETITIONS ARE NECESSARY
BOARD OF WORKS WILL ACT ON
LY UPON THIS CONDITION.
COST TO BE PAID BY THE PROP
ERTY OWNERS AFFECTED.

Thursday the Palladium received a
communication from Arthur Stem of
Cincinnati, president OF the Good
Roads Improvement company, which
is self-explanatory and as follows:
The board of public works of Rich
mond has agreed that if we will secure
petitions from the residents in differ
ent sections OF Richmond, requesting
that the macadam streets in their dis
trict be treated with asphalt oil. they
will give us contract to do this work
and assess the cost against the abut-
ting property benefited.
I'VE will in a few days have several
solicitors at work trying to secure
petitions and probably will district the
town so as to take in the sections
where the streets are in the best con-
dition to be treated"
Agent has Arrived.
A l.. Fahnestock, representing the
Good Roads Improvement company,
has arrived in the city to assume
charge of the canvass that will be

petitions for oiiing various streets.
The canvass will be started on North
Tenth street, then North Eleventh
Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets will
be canvassed in turn. After the cam
paign for petitions on these streets
has been completed South Fourth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets will be canvassed.
Ultimately the residents on all the
streets in the city will be so
licited.
Last year South Fourth street be-
tween B and C streets was treated
with asphalt oil. So satisfactory has
this improvement been to the resi-
dents in that square that they have
petitioned for another treatment of oil
to be put on this summer. It is
thought that there will be little diff
Guilty in securing the signatures of all
the residents on South Fourth street
to have the entire street treated with
oil. The residents of this city seem
TO be agreeably impressed with the
benefits to be derived from oiled
streets and it is thought Mr. Fahne-
Stoch ana HIS ASSISTANTS VIII meet.
with large measure of success. Mr..
Fahnestock is located at the Westcott
hotel where he will be glad to meet

ments now being made by the city on
