WHY WOMEN
NEED A TONIC
Because Pure, Rich BIooo Alone
Can ave the Strength That
Is Demanded of Them.

The tonic treatment with DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills cures weak women by
enriching aud purifying the blood IL
gives strength and health to every part
of the body and enables each to do its
work regularly and well.
Mrs. s. e. Ballenger, of South Union
street, London, Ohio, gives DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills a hearty endorsement
i'm the following account Of the cure of
herself and daughter:
II had been in poor health for some
time before began to suffer with weak
ness but had done nothing for my condi-
ton and Just wore myself out. ] was
not fit for any work, did not have any
appetite and ate nothing but the lightest
foods and had TO force myself to do that.
My nerves were unstrung and Itwitched
all over. could not sleep well, was in
bed one whole winter and had given up
hope of getting well.
IL was treated by several physicians,
who told me ! would have to go to the
hospital They helped me some but
only temporarily ! had been sick for
about a year when my mother advised
me TO try Dr. Williams Pink Pills
bought few boxes and in u short time
1 noticed that my nerves were quietei
and / was able 20 get better night'i
rest. took the pills regularly and wa
| cured
Later / gave the pills to my daugh
| ter who had been obliged to give up hel
| school. She was as white as q shee
and her blood was very thin. She coult
hardly walk across the room and cougheC
most Of the time. The doctor said sh,
was going into consumption and that il,
could do nothing for her. We haC
almost despaired of saving her life bu
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pill
again. She took several boxes and wa
cured. She is now strong and health,
and works every day We feel that w
cannot praise DIR. Williams Pink Pill
too highly"
From the time she is developing int
womanhood until the trials of the for
tieth year are passed, woman need
the strength that pure blood alone Cal
give.
The pills are sold by all druggists, o

SAFETY BOARD
in TIGHT PLACE
1t Needs Some Money and
Needs it Badly. e
TREASURY IS DEPLETED
other City Departments are
in Good Condition.
City Officials Will Get Together
to Find Some Way Out of the
Difficulty.

After the semi-monthly salaries of
the members of the police and fire
departments were paid this morning
there only remained in the public
safety fund the Insignificant sum OF
$211. 1t will be at least five
months before the fund will be re-
plenished through the regular cham
mel and the safety board at its reg
ular meeting this morning found it
self facing very grave problem.
The money from the June tax col
lections will not reach the safety
fund until about the middle OF next
September. The June tax levy
will provide only sufficient
funds to cover the expenses of the
safety board for the six months fol-
lowing September and IL is not
deemed a safe proposition TO borrow
money on this levy.
1t will take about $500 accord
ing to the estimate of city auditor
Harry s. Elliott, TO carry the safety
board through the next FIVE months
"A temporary loan is possible but that
will leave the city in the hole for
the six months following.
Some of the city officials are in
favor Of cutting down expenses in
the service board and applying the
money to the safety fund. In order
to do this 1t would be necessary to
cut off the street lights, refrain from
repairing the streets, clean th'
streets bait once a month and othel
ridiculous things would be neces'
sary.
1t takes about $40 for the fire de
Eartment and about $240 for the po
lice department to cover salary ex
penses for two weeks. There i
scarcely half enough money dn tn
safety fund at tho present time L
pay the two week salaries Of the de
patments and whatever is done II
the way of raising money will hav
to be done quickly.
The other funds are in fair con
; dition. Aside from the safety fun
the general fund, out OF which
paid the salaries of the mayor an
city officials, is the only one tina
has an inclination TO run short. Th
service and health funds are bot
} i'm excellent condition and II
, were possible, according to law,
part of this money might be use
for public safety
The safety board members argue
every PLAN Imaginable at thei
meeting this morning, but no plaus
, ible way could be discovered. Abou
/ the only way TO meet the expense
/ is TO cut out the street lights o
moonlight nights and apply the say
> ing to the salaries of the two en-
barassed departments.
The finance committee of the eli
, council will meet with the member
of the safety board in the near fl
0 ture to discuss the matter further
y 1t is possible that a plan to rails
a money win not be definitely dete
] mined until the next meeting of Ii
] city council.

LAWYER IS
THIRD VICTIM
Council for New Dodge Land
Claimant Shot to Death
in Office.

AIcRae, Ga, April 6--That Pope
Hill, a prominent lawyer of Macon,
who was found shot to death is the
third victim OF an assassin in the
Dodge land case is the belief of po-
lice officers, A coroners jury, af-
ter careful examination, declared
that Hill was murdered by parties
unknown"
Hill was found dead here in the
office OF lawyer, bullet in his
brain and a revolver, with one cham
ber discharged, grasped in the right
hand. The condition of the Office
indicated a desperate struggle, The
stove was upset, the coal scuttle
was crushed and the furniture was
broken. On the floor lay an unfin-
ished court motion in the Dodge
case, which Hill had drafted and
brought to McRae to file.
Hill arrived In McRae at noon
land went into a friends law office
to work on the case. Later he went
TO the home Of the proprietor of a
hardware store and said he wanted
revolver, as he had received some
threatening letters. He was so in
sistent that the hardware man open
ed the store and sold Hill the re-
volver that was found clasped in
4 his hand
Hill returned to the law Office
and was not algain seen alive by
| friends. When found he had been
ipierced the right eye and entered
III .NaN,
the wall. he probably was shot
while standing.
A note which Hill received at Ma
Icon was found on the body. 1t is
believed that this is the note Hill
Preferred to when he bought the re-
volver on Sunday. 1t is written in
a childish scrawl and reads:
"Pope HILL, the next time you in.
terfere with our settlement you
will be broke"
1t was signed with a crudely
drawn skull and cross bones. The
authorities are convinced that the
mote refers to the Dodge case, which
was ON the verge of settlement
when the new and unknown claim
liant put in an appearance. He wa:
