THE WOMAN WHO
IS PREPARED
with Rich Blood and Strong Nerves
Meets the Trying Times of Life
With Safety and Ease.

TO women who suffer when the age
OF forty, or Whereabouts. is reached,
Dr- Williams Pink Pills give prompt
and permanent relief. And, if taken
as tnls time is approached, their tonic
action in purifying and building up
the blood strengthens the system so
that this crisis in a woman's life may
De passed in safety and comparative
ease The pills, therefore. are of spe-
clal help to women who are weak run
down and nervous for in this condition
the body is not prepared to bear the
added burden put upon it during the
change.
Through neglecting to build up her
strength Mrs. L. H. Howard. of No.
22O Wayne avenue, Dayton. Ohio. suf-
fered for three years. During this
time she was treated by doctors and
tried many medicines but found no
relief until she used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. Every woman should
profit by a careful reading Of Mrs.
Towards experience, which follows:
When I was in my thrifty ninth
year was more dead than alive, suf-
fer1ng with weakness common to
women of my age. 1 was confined to
bed for the greater part of nine
months and was stick altogether for
nearly three years. 1 had sick head
aches, pains in the back and was list
less, with no ambition to work. My
appetite was poor and my stomach SO
weak that food would ferment on 1t.
causing it to turn sour. Then my head
would ache and I would get so dizzy
that 1 would vomit. My hands and
feet were cold, was extremely pale
and my finger nails were blue. My
circulation was poor and 1 had faint
ing spells when 1t would be necessary
for me to lie down from sheer weak
ness. I would ache all over and my
legs were weak and easily gave out.
/ was so extremely nervous that the
least noise, like the siamming of the
door, made me worse. l was also trou-
bled great deal with constipation.
st took medicine from different doc
tors without relief and upon the adj
vice of a friend tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. In week or SO I noticed
change for the better and in a few
weeks more I was cured. I am now
weight and strength. 1 feel that my
good health is due to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills alone and hope I will be
the means of helping many other suf-
fering women back to health"
Women will find in DR.. Williams
Pink Pills the tonic exactly suited to
their needs. Most of the Ills with
which they suffer are due to blood
lessness-a condition which the pills
readily correct
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are also
invaluable in rheumatism, after effects
of the grip and fevers, sick headaches,
stomach trouble. neuralgia and even in
partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
The pills are sold by all druggists.

SUES THE COMMISSIONERS.
County Attorney of Lyon Thinks Too
Many Livery Rigs Have Been Hired.

Emporia Nov. 6.-County Attorney
Harris has written to James Clemmer,
Eli Fowler and G. f. Arnold, county
commissioners, notifying them that
they must return certain moneys to the
county by Saturday, or he will bring
suit against them for the return of the
same. Attorney Harris said the money
aggregated approximately $500, and
that it was money paid by the county
to the commissioners to which they
were not entitled by law. Mr.. Harris
said that, although he had notified the
commissioners last week, he had not
mentioned the matter before, because
he did not want his action construed
as a political move. The amounts over
drawn, he said, were for livery hire and
per diem to which he believes the COM
missioners were not entitled. The law
allows cents per mile for travelling ex-
penses, and in many cases the commits
sioners had hired livery rigs, the cost
of which to the county had exceeded
the mileage to which they were legally
entitled. The per diem allowed each
commissioner is So. not to exceed $500
a year. Mr.. Harris contends that this
amount was fixed by special act, and
the general statutes places the maxi
mum at $500. Attorney Harris holds
that the special act has been made void.
and that as the commissioners have
drawn over the amount fixed by gen.
eral statute they should reIund this
amount to the county. He said the
commissioners have been making these
alleged overcharges for years.
The commissioners when seen said
they were too busy this week to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly, and
that they would let Mr.. Harris bring
suit. so the question could be settled in
court They said they had done as
their predecessors had, supposing that
to be legal If the statute had been
made void allowing them a maximum
of $500 a year for their service, they
said they did not know it. Commits
sioner Arnold said he had kept one or
two horses in town ever since his term
began, and that the commissioners
used these when they could, charging
only the mileage rate allowed By
statute. When it was necessary to hire
a livery rig for themselves or for the
surveyor they had charged this to the
county. that being the procedure of
the commissioners who preceded them.

KANSAS EAGLE TO TAFT.
Clay Center Admirers Ship a Fine
Bird to the Ohio Man.

Clay Center, Kan, Nov. "a week
ago Joseph Kay, a Clay county Re-
publican, caught young golden eagle
on his farm west of town. He
brought the bird to Clay Center and
gave it to the Clay County Republican
club. The club at once named the
bird Taft and decided that if Taft was
elected president it would be sent to
him at his home in Ohio. Thursday
members of the Clay County Republic
can club went to the depot and ex-
pressed the eagle to Mr.. Taft. At the
same time this telegram was sent to
Mr.. Taft:
''By today's express the Clay Coun-
ty. Kansas, Republican club sent you
live golden eagle. May he continue
to live and the people still rule"
An elaborate cage was built for the
bird and appropriate labels put on it.
No one who sees the bird on its trip
to Ohio can fail to notice whence it
came or to whom it is sent.

Teddy May Drpp Army seere-
tary in Favor Of Knox.

Washington, Feb l9- Special
The friends Of Secretary Taft are
deeply concerned over the reports
they are receiving from New England
and the South These reports iudi-
cate that TAFT will secure few dele
gates from the New England states
and that contcstiug delegations can
be expected from every southern
state where the office holders sue
ceed in bringing about Taft iustruc-
tions. 1t is likely that the new Eng.
land delegates will bee largely divid-
ed between Hughes and Knox. The
friends of Knox have been especially
active in that section OF the country
and II looks as though they had
aroused considerable enthusiasm for
their candidate Reports from Mas
sachusetts show that the Taft people
have abandoned their efforts to land
delegates in that state. Both Senator
Lodge and Crane say their states
delegates will go to Chicago unn-
structed. The Knox people are count
ug on the Massachusetts, del
cuatos as well as the delegate
from Connecticut and Vermont The
strength of kuON's candidacy I'm the
far west has also surprised the Taft
managers. Within the past week
they have discovered that Knox will
have delegates from several of the
states i'm that section heretofore re-
gardod as certain to support TAFT.
The friends OF Knox have been work
ing quietly and they have made such
progress that the Pennsylvania sena-
tor now is regarded as Secretary
Taft's strongest opponent. The
chances OF Knox are enhanced by the
fact that he is known to be President
Roosevelt's second choice Even the
| TAFT managers admit that If Mr.
Roosevelt makes up his mind that
Taft cannot be nominated he will
throw the administration support ia
Knox. This would insure the Penn
