HONEST MEDICINE
Try DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
FOR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Convincing Evidence Supported by a
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 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 a 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
BoXley Ark, who says:
~ had suffered for u good many years
from stomach trouble. For a long time
I was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by an
indescribable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever l was
little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not last very long.
81 was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic inhamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to flut-
tering of the heart and a feeling az
though was smothering. My general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
II had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When began taking
the pills / was SO rundown in strength
that could hardly do any homework
Now 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"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually make
new blood and give strength and tone to
every part of the body. They have
cured serious disorders of the blood aud
nerves, such as rheumatism, sciatica,
! anRmia, nervousness, headaches, partial
paralysis, locomotor ataxia, st. Vitus'
dance and many forms of weakness in
either sex. They are sold by all drug
gists or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, so cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

CARE OF THE SICK Room.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex.
IRENE 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.
IL there is any suspicion of damp.
ness In bedroom it is probably due,
IL 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; 1t means disease, i'll
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
bastined wall is perfect wall. 1t
never flakes 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 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 well as an evidence Of poor
housekeeping.

This Noisy World


"They that govern the most" saithS
Iohn Seden. following Marcus Aurel-

some official response to the demands
Of wakeful citizens and their physi-
CLANS that night in the cities should be
less racked by the din of whistles and
bells A few cities have suppressed
chimes and engine whistles during
the night.watches. In Massachusetts,
the railroad commissioners have for
hidden whistling at certain railroad
crossings over a large part of the
state. The efforts of Mrs. Isaac Rice
TO mu1le the voices of the tugboats
have borne some fruit Of silence. She
Is at the head of Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noise"
Largely in response to the demands of
this society, congress has recently eIn.
powered the board OF supervising III
spectors of the steamboat inspection
service to establish regulations gov
erning the use of whistles as signals
by steam vessels and prohibiting use
less and unnecessary whisting. The
board has already forbidden unneces-
sary whistling in certain harbors, and
is considering the possibility of sub
stituting melodious whistles for such
as torture the ear. Various bills to
suppress noise have been presented
in state legislatures and city councils,
but legislating has not gone far, says
Youths Companion 1t will take time

even when we are apparently in good
health we may suffer grievously from

Ladies who wear aigrette plumes or
other feathered adornments would do
well TO ascertain whether such prac.
tees are contrary to law. Some states
forbid the killing of birds or the use
of plumage in the manner suggested.
One of these states is Louisiana, and
a stern Judge down that way has just
imposed on New Orleans merchant
a sentence OF $50 fine or 60 days i'm
prisonment for selling plumes. or
course, the southern judge was too
gallant to make first example of
ladies who bought the feathers, but
he warns them that the practice is
illegal. And doubtless the tender.
hearted portion of humanity will now
be prompt TO suppress custom which
has been judicially pronounced in.

The Woods IN Old Violins.

The old masters used such care in
the selection of the woods for their in
struments that, having found piece
OF wood OF proper fiber and vibration
al powers, they treasured every frag-
ment, no matter how small; and
rather than waste even particle of
such strip, they frequently con
structed the backs and bellies of
patches SO delicately put together that
the seams are only discoverable by
microscope, so perfect is the cabinet
old masters to marry the back Of
hard sycamore, which produces the
quick vibrations and the belly of soft
wood, producing the slower sound
waves, In such a manner as to give
the mellow but reedy timbre of the
perfect instrument. Anatomically, a
violin made by an old master is a
miracle of construction, remarks Eliz-
abeth Mitchell Stephenson, in Circle
Magazine; 1t can be taken to pieces,
patched. pat together, repaired indef-
nitely. and is almost indestructible.
Repairing has been the means of ex-
posing many clever forgeries. The in
side. of violin made by Stradivari,
Guarnerius. or other old master is as
perfectly finished as the outside, and
the clumsy interior work of a forgery
betrays an imitation at once.

The state university won $4,000
from the Nebraska legislature in the
closing hours. However, this will af-
ford little relief, according to the re-
port of the university authorities. The
conference agreement commands that
100000 be diverted from the l mill
levy proceeds and be expended on the
state farm. In return the general
fund of the state is to furnish $4,000
to be expended as the regents direct.
This sum is insufficient, it is stated, to
make any progress on the civil engi-
neering building so badly needed by
the university. On the other hand, 1t
is feared that the expenditures at the
state farm will necessitate the use of
the $4,000 for the maintenance of the
university proper,
