 Anamia is simply lack of blood.
 It is one of the most common and dan. gerous diseases with which growing girls suffer.
 It is common because the blood sc often becomes impoverished during dc. velopment, when girls are too frequently allowed to oyerstudy, overwork and suffer from lack of exercise. It is dan. gerous became of the stealthineB of its approach, often being well developed before it's presence is recognized, and because of it's tendency togrow 90 steadi- ly worse, if not promptly checked, that it may run into consumption.
 Miss Julia VI. Monahan. of No. 16l Granger street, Rutland, Vt, took Dr. Williams Pink Pills in the early stages of an@mia and was undoubtedly saved from long sickness She says:

I had heAdachea every few days which made mo feel sick all over. My appetite was poor and what ate didn't seem to agree with me.

 The treatment of anemia with Dr. Williams Pink Pills is as certain a anything in medical science. They act directly the blood, which they purify and build up to it's normal strength.

STANDARD LAWYERS BUSY
OIL COMPANIES vICE-PREsIDENT OPTIMISTIC.
Thinks Recent Decfsfon wfI1 Recruit Tn Repeal of Sherman Anti- Trust LaUs--stoek Af-
 fected On Curb.

New York. Nov. 22.--conferences of oficials of. and leading counsel for the Standard OH Company were held in this city today to begin the work of outlining the company's course of action following the adverse decision in the governments suit against the company rendered last Saturday.
 Thirty days are allowed before the decree of the court takes effect and within that time the form of the ap- peal which the corporation announced that 1t would take to the United States Supreme Court will have to be per- fected.
 In speaking of the decision today. John D, Archbold, vice-president of the Standard oil Company. took an op- timistic view of the situation. He said.
 T believe that the decision will re- suit in legislation looking toward the repeal of the sherman antitrust act. tor under that law 1t Is not only im- possible for practically any corpora ton to transact business, but even CO., partnerships may be attacked. be- iieve that the officials at Washington are coming to the view that the law is too drastic and that even Mfr Roosevelt himself shares in that op- inion."
 Standard oil stock was again af- footed on the curb market today by the courts decision. The stock closed at ss0 on Saturday and the nrst sale today was at $50.
 The probability of other corporation. being affected in the event tho stand. ard oil decision is upheld by the Uni ted States Supreme Court was discuss. cd today by John W. Griggs. Attor. ney General of the United States from 1898 to 1901.
 T should say" he said. that the de. cision would affect in principle large number of smaller corporations irre- spective of the fact of their having conducted their business in an inof- fensive manner and without regard as to whether as combinations they have on the whole been beneficial to the de- @elopment to the country or preJudi- ciai.
 T regard the decision as only anoth- or installation of the inherent deh- ciencies of the sherman act in regula- tion of business. think that the bus mess men of the United States are en- titled to more clear and explicit statement of the rule of conduct which Congress means them to conform tc than that which Is expressed in the present laws. I hope that the efforts of the President and his Attorney Gen. eral to evolve better bill will be sus- tained by public sentiment and ap- proved by Congress"
