THEY HELPED HER
TO FIND HEALTH
A Maine Woman Tells What DR..
Williams Pink Pills Will Do
for Her Sex.

Neglect or improper treatment O!
woman's ills almost inevitably leads tc
a train of unfortunate results and fire..
quently to a lifetime of misery. In time
almost every organ of the body becomes
affected, the nervous system is broken
down, the digestion is weakened and
symptoms of kidney trouble develop.
Women who become pale and lose
weight and ambition and are subject ia
headaches and fainting spells, need such
tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
They are especially adapted for girls
and women of all ages and give Just the
aid required to bring back health and
strength to the nervous and exhausted.
What DR.. Williams Pink Pills will do
for women is illustrated in the expert
ence of Miss Florence A. Jordan. of No.
30 Perham street, Pennington, Me. She
says:
"a cold brought on trouble to which
my sex is subject and for two years |
suffered without relief until / tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills. was very irreg-
ular and at intervals suffered so that /
was obliged to stay in bed. NY blood
seemed to CONCEAL and my body was
covered with purple spots, my heart
huttered, slight exertion tired me, was
pale and my strength and ambition were
gone. Sometimes my feet swelled so
that l could not keep on my shoes.
AFTER consulting several doctors and
finding no relief in their medicines, an
other physician advised me to try DR.
Williams Pink Pills He said they had
helped his daughter who suffered the
same way did, and so got supply.
Two boxes brought about the desired
results and few more restored me to
complete health"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of price, 90 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams
Medicine Company. Schenectady, N. Y

absolutely harmless to the most delicate
constitution. They contain no morphine,

ing from weakness. It explains fully
why DR.. Williams Pink Pills are suited

heartily. Mr.. Sherman said 81 am
here because l wanted to be here"
He said he had spent delightful
day, having started at 1:40 this
morning. He referred to his inability
to attend the Precautionary exercises
and said If he had come then he would
have been obliged to play second
fiddle, a disadvantage which did not
exist today. Referring to the pos
sessions of the United States, he said,
Vermont has her Green Mountains,
her Fish and Game League, Max
Evarts and other members, and New
York has me. He referred to the re-
turning prosperity and to the great
national wealth of the country.
Judge G. e. Brewer called attention
to the need of preserving the purity
of the public waters from sewage and
all pollution that spread disease. He
believed that towns and cities should
take care to dispose of their sewage
and garbage in a better way than
turning them into the streams. In
conclusion, he spoke of the import
ance of the constitution of the United
States, and said the country would
not go down so long as the people
held fast to it. Next January he will

President Taft, which was received
with great enthusiasm. He alluded
pleasantly to the missionary spirit
that brught the League across the
lake, to bless the State of New York.
He declared that above all the Ma
tional resources was the sterling
worth and character of the people,
which was witnessed as much as
anywhere else in the Union. He al
luded to the rumors of war with
Japan, who usually irrevocably
pledged. Owing to the lateness of the

Have Been There and Left No
Traces to BE Found by film.

Sydney, N. S., Sept. 19.--1n a long
Interview with the newspaper cor
espondents at Battle Harbor, Capt
Peary said he had not discovered
ny new land at the Pole, and had
found no trace of Dr.. Cook. In re-
ply to another question Capt. Peary
said that it was not likely that he
would have seen traces of DR.. Cook
had he made the trip as he says he
did, as Cook went eighty miles to the
west and a year in advance of him
lie said it would have beel possible
or Dr.. Cook to have faxed a set OF
observations without himself having
gone to the Pole. Capt. Ieary said
he would never again take the field

MAY BUILD NEW TOWN HALL
Special Town Meeting Called Saturday
and Committee Appointed to Consider
ACCESSIBILITY
Especial to the Journal

Randolph, Sept. 2O-The town meeting
called Saturday to consider building 8
town house in this village for the proper
care of public documents, appointed q
committee to investigate the subject
thoroughly at the towns expense and
report at the annual meeting in March
The committee is composed of H. A. Allen,
O. j, Marcott, L. s. Hall, selectmeni
w. G. Emerson, chairman of the village
trustees f. G. Sprague from the East
part of the town, c, L. Hodges from the
Center and A. G. Osgood of this village.
At present the town clerk has not
sufficient room or a sufficiently safe
place in which to keep the records and
papers of the town and is reduced to
paste-board boxes for the preservation
of vital statistics and other valuable pa
pers. Furthermore the boxes have to be
packed away in a wood room adjoining
the office.
This office is at present located on the
second floor to the r. G. Morton block
and, in case of fire, its two safes and their
valuable contents would have long ways
to fall before they reached the cellar in a
more or less shattered condition. The
Office is not conveniently situated, either
for the addition of suitable vaults to its
equipment.
1t is suggested that the town erect
a town house preferably of brick, with
fireproof vaults and safes large enough
for present needs Such house was
erected in Pomfret few years ago at
a cost of $500.
Again, it is proposed that the village
and town unite in more pretentieus
structure having two vaults-one for viii
lage, and the other for town, records and
papers. 1t is proposed to have this in
building, besides the clerks Office, a
room for the selectmen, the town treasur-
en- the board of civil authority, the vii
lage trustees and the village superintend-
ent OF streets and water system.
A third suggestion is for the Randolph
National Bank to join village and town
in the construction of handsome build
ing that shall house the bank in a credit
able manner, with plenty of vault room,
as well as meet all the town and village
requirements of a place for the proper
conduct Of public business.

go into the fields to work as other
patients of his type do. This is nee
essary to help toward the support of
he hospital as $4,000 of the $4,000
required to maintain the hospital
comes from farm work of one kind
or another performed by the patients
who are able and are not suffering
under a severe form of insanity
Kent was regarded as perfectly do
lie, and always did his work in the
best possible manner. The doctor
urther states that the patient in
question could neither read nor
rite, but that he seemed perfectly
ontented with his lot at the institu-
ion and that he had a criminal ten
dency to torture and assault dumb
nimals.
On the day of his escape DR.. Grout
avs that the foreman in charge of
he work sent Fred Kent over, with
Their laborers, to a farm located
cross the river Every team had an
ttendant while there was guard
the field where the laborers were
ngaged in potato field. Kent
watched his chance and put himself
between the bushes and the guard
and was not again seen in the vicin-
ty.
When news of his escape reached
he hospital DR.. Grout sent out de-
achments to search the countryside
for the fugitive and also sent letter
o DR.. George S. Foster, at Putney,
where he thought Kent would go, as
had relatives near there. DR..
Foster did not apprehend the man
and some time ago it is alleged that
Kent killed his father for which he
S at present being tried at Newfane.
Fred Kent is brother of Elroy
Kent, who murdered Della B. Cong
don, at East Wallingford, a year ago
last spring and was convicted by the
curt. Elroy Kent has also been an
innate of the Waterbury hospital,
aving escaped before he killed Miss
,ongdon.
Dr.. ID. d. Grout went to Newfane
esterday to attend the Windham
County Court there and testify in
the case of Fred Kent. In letter
given to representative of the
Journal yesterday DR.. Grout says:

When | took charge here, Sept
9Th 1905, Kent, with many others of
his class, was working on the farm,
either in the custody of an attendant
or some of the farm employees. Oct.
10, 1905, he with other patients, in
the charge of an attendant and sew
eral employees on the farm, was
digging potatoes on our Duxbury
farm, about mile from the hospital.
Making an excuse to attend to the
|calls of nature, he was allowed to go
la few rods, but made a break and
took to the woods. Several men
followed him and later attendants,
with teams, secured the towns of
Duxbury and Moretown but could
get no trace of him. knowing that
his home was in the vicinity of Put

Reports to Bradstreet's for the

port that general buying is fairly
