Episcopal Church Circles Of

Des Moines. March 26.--1owa
Episcopal church circles are agog over
a letter to which the name of Bishop
T. N. Morrison of Davenport was
forged and which delegated to Mrs.
Simon Cassaday of Des Moines, wife
of a banker, the power to select sue
cessor to DIR. j. Everst Cathell. for
many years rector of st. Paurs Episco-
pal church here.
1t is not so much the contents of the
letter, tho they are enough to set the
church folks to talking but the object
in view, the mystery surrounding it all
that is proving the poser.
And now the letter is in the hands
of postoffice inspectors who are de-
termined to ferret out the mysterious
sender and ascertain why Mrs Cassa-
days good name is thus dragged into
highest church officer in Iowa was thus
basely forged.
The letter was written with a type
writer and was sent to a half dozen
leading newspapers in the state. 1t was
signed by Bishop Morrison and it gave
Mrs. Cassaday the sole right to name
five clergymen. The latter We're to Sc
lect DR.. Cathell's successor since DR..
Cathell has resigned to go on the
chautauqua platform. This delegation
of power was SO remarkable that the
newspapers printed it and played it up
as good news.
Mrs. .Cassaday was shocked. Bishop
Morrison, when communicated with,
declared the letter forgery, and said
he was out OF Davenport when the
letter was postmarked at that city.
So friends of the Cassadays, society
folk and church people are all wrought
up and are intent upon discovering
what possible motive can be behind
the remarkable affair.

NEURALGIA
AND SClATICA
WHY EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
WILL NOT GIVE PERMANENT
RELIEF AND HOW DR.. WILL
JAMS PINK PILLS CURE
THESE TROUBLES.

Lack Of blood is almost always asso-
ciated with neuralgia. One medical au-
thority has defined neuralgia as "the
cry of the nerves for better blood
This is true because the nerves re-
ceiws their nourishment thru the blood
Build UP the blood, the impoverished
nerves are fed and the neuralgia pains
disappear.
Thus 1t is seen of how little perma-
nent benefit local or external appli-
cation can be in the treatment of neil
ralgia or sciatica, Which is form OF
neuralgia It also shows how eX-
actly suited to the cure of neural
gia and sciatica is such q remedy as
DR. Williams Pink Pills, which acts
BOTH on the blood and the nerves
Beside their direct action on the nerves
which affords temporary relief from
the sciatic pains, these pills build up
the blood, enabling it to give proper
nourishment to the nerves and prevent
the further development of the disease
or return of it, so long as the blood
is kept rich and red.
Mrs George Henderson, whose ad-
dress is r. F. D. No. 1. Wynantskill,
Rensselaer, Co., N. Y, says:
"a few years ago I strained my left
hin by a fall and later was troubled
for nearly a year with sciatic rheuma-
tism. The pains ran from my left
hip down to my heel and were so ter
rible that had to scream when trying
, to walk.
i "My doctor didn't do me bit of
I good and I told him was going to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
braced me up from the start and with
in a months time 1 could walk some
and without pain. took the pills for
while longer to make sure of perm
anent cure and have never been trou-
bled with rheumatism since. I can
now work as we'll as anyone"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actu-
ally make new blood and this carries
health and strength to every portion
Of the body. The stomach is toned up,
the nerves are strengthened, and every
organ is stimulated to do it's work.
