AWFUL NEURALGIA

DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which Is the cause of your
suffering. That is tae 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 tnat reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sur to return vita
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 | did not rest as | should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time / became so
weak l could not do any work at all.
/ had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top Of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times | saw black
spots before them. I consulted sev.
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.

Speaking of the sagacity of animals,

manifestation of intelligence. He
also has horse, which hauls his de-
livery wagon, and between Prince"
the dog, and Katie" his equine COM
panion, exists the closest tie of friend
ship. Every morning as the deliv-
cry wagon stands in front Of the
bakery, Prince carries in his mouth
buns and other scraps Of pastry
thrown into q box, that are left over
from each BATCH" and carries
them out to the horse, placing them
within reach while he banks his de-
light at the evident satisfaction his
friend finds in eating them. If any
scraps are left the dog eats them
himself which shows that the display
of generosity is not made without
some sacrifices. When the wagon is
making its daily rounds, . Prince"
trots along by its side, and woe be it
to any dog that attempts to usurp
the place of honor, which he proudly
refuses to share with another. If
there is horse sense" as has been
virtually conceded, it is equally ap-
parent that there is such q thing as
dog intelligence, as well as friendship
and generosity.

! There is considerable talk ON the

in Olympia precinct. The admission
of ]. G. Crouch, one of the justices
who was elected last fall, the county
of Thurston and Robert Frost, to
effect that the city Of Olympia at
that time contained over five thou
sand inhabitants, induced the court
to rule that the election was void,
as far as Crouch is concerned, but
whether Frost is entitled to the sal
airy of 800 per month, as the only
Justice, is an open question, as it does
not appear that G. NJ. Bolton an in
cumbent will. Frost ever resigned,
SO as to leave Frost the sole magis-
trate in this precinct. This decision
would seem not to affect Justice Mil.
ton Giles, because he was not party
to the proceedings; he refused to go
in, and make any admissions. In
order to GUST him from Office, the
whole controversy will have to be
retired on evidence submitted be-
fore the court. 1t may, therefore,
be some time before Mr.. Frost will
receive his salary at the rate of 500
per month.

will mean that the armed truce which

/. Follow THE "SUpREME Law
The Clerk of the Superior Court of
this county is reported to be by the
newspapers in q quandary. The Fed

State law another and different rate

him to the State Treasurer. Both
laws are mandatory, and prescribe
severe penalties by way of fine and
Imprisonment, for violation in any

ton OF the United States would re-
move any mists of doubt that exist
in the mind of the Clerk. Sec z of
Art. T., defines the powers of Con-
