"I've Come Here to Live"

Widely as these two companions differed
in temperament and experience 1t would be
impossible to decide which felt the greater
uneasiness at the prospect Immediately be-
fore them The girl openly rebellious the
man extremely doubtful. with reluctant
steps they approached that tall. homely
yellow house-outwardly the most preten-
tious In Gencaid-which stood well up in
the valley. where the main road diverged
into numerous winding trails leading to-
ward the various mines among the foothills.

The print division Of the Library Of Con-
gress has just received as gift from the
Japanese government a collection OF three
hundred photographs Of great works Of art

lections of Japan. This is the third time
that a foreign nation has contributed to
our national library. France gave, tt will
be remembered. collection of engravfngs
of famous paintings, restrikes from the
original plates in the photographic du
Louvre; Germany presented a collection Of
facstmilfes of the works Of German en-
gravers which admirably set forth the de-
veIopment Of the art: and now from Japan
has come this wonderful collection OF photo

the prints which have been sent over by the

this collection. the sternly carved statues,
the marvellous bronze castings. the exquisite
decorative designs and the unique archi-

the manifestations of oriental art seem
grotesque and even distorted, but none with
esthetic sense could fail to recognize and

NERVOUS COLLAPSE
IS OFTEN PREVENTED BY Da,
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS,
Taken When the First Warning Symp-
toms Arc Noticed Much Needless
Suffering May Be Saved.

Are you troubled with pallor, loss of
spirits, waves of heat passing over the
body, shortness of breath after slight
exertion, peculiar skipping of the
heart beat, poor digestion, cold extremi-
ties or feeling of weight and fullness?
Do not make the mistake of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nourish-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to do their work
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of the nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow, because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich,
red and pure.
Mrs. i. O. Bradley, of 1903 Parsells
avenue, Rochester, N. Y, says:
II was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in n rundown condi-
tion, suffered II nervous shock, caused
by a misfortune to a friend. 1t was so
great that l WAS untitled for work.
81 was just weak, low spirited and
nervous. Icould hardly walk and could
not bear the least noise. My appetite
was poor and did not care for food. I

months. 1 got no relief and then de-
cided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills. I
soon began to feel better and the i'm
provement was general. Ny appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the pains
in my back. A few more boxes entirely
cured me and was able to go back to
work. i felt splendid and as though
had never been sick"

in such diseases as rheumatism, after
