WATER SUPPLY STILL SHORT.
Clear Lakes New Deep Well Fails to
ELL Specifications.

Clear Lake, Nov. 23.-Clear Lake
seems to be as far from good drink
ing water as ever The supply has all
ways been from the lake since the
waterworlls was Installed in 1894, but
the filters gave out; and when 1t was
proposed to put in new ones objection
was raised on the ground of the ex-
pense and the alleged pollution of the
lake. There was a demand for deep
we'll which the council needed and last
summer a contract was made with
Lowe & s'turtevant, who agreed to
sink a we'll not less than $50 feet deep
and capable of supplying 200 gallons
a minute.
The entire summer was spent in Dor
ing and at last, at depth of 253 feet,
the contractor claimed they had the
goods. A pump was secured from Du-
buque and when tests We're made in
the past few days it was found that
the we'll will not produce more than
sixty or sfxty-five gallons a minute.
What will be the next move is a prob
lem. The town is at no expense for
what has been done, but the delay is

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Topeka Woman Tells How
the Tonic Treatment with Dr..
Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her.

The processes of digestion are con.
trolled by the blood and nerves. That
is why the tonic treatment, by which
the blood is built up, has cured SO many
cases of stubborn stomach trouble.
Many people are suffering daily from
stomach trouble because they cling TIC
old-fashioned methods, eat predigested
foods and in other ways eggrayate the
disorder they seek to cure.
There can be no real cure in stomach
trouble until the digestive organs are
toned up to do the work that nature in
tended of them The only way that
this can be done is through she blood
which plays such an important part IN
the processes of digestion.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not only
a tonic for the stomach but build up the
general health. This is well shown in
the case of Mrs. Emma Copeland, of No.
227 North Lake street, Topeka, kans.
She says:
After treating with a doctor for
several months and getting only tempo
rary relief from nervous dyspepsia, l
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
When l began using the pills l was
greatly run down in health and was re-
duced in weight. There was always
distress after eating. There was pres
sure like weight on my stomach. At
times there would be sour risings and
also great deal Of gas from my stom-
ach had to be careful what ate, for
any greasy food would put me in perfect
misery. was so nervous that could
not get any sleep and often had to walk
the floor at night.
Il had taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills
only short time when could see that
they were helping me. l continued
using them until cured and have had no
trouble with my stonacho or nerves since.
I gained several pounds III weight.
think Dr. Williams Pink Pills are q
splendid remedy and gladly recommend
them

Any Woman Can
Have Beautiful Hair
[From French Beauty Monthly. ]


mo woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once in two
months" says NJ. Fournier, the noted
French scientist. DRY powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
hair to lose its color and in time be-
come thin"
ANY woman desiring abundant, lus-
trous hair should use dry shampoo
every two or three days. Mix four
ounces of powdered orris root with four
ounces Of therox. Sprinkle about a tab
lespoonful of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thor
oughly thru the hair. This will keep it
light and fluffy, and beautifully aus-
trous You will soon see new hair
starting to grow. This treatment is the
only thing that am sure will produce
la growth Of hair.
while plain orris root Is used as
dry shampoo by many women, still, No
such results can be obtained as by US

brothers of the bridegrooms acted as
best men. II was proposed to fol-
low the wedding with a honeymoon
for the Ave happy couples to extend
to st. Louis, but the lateness OF the
crops prevented the men members
from leaving home at this time.
