and who went to Fort Worth this
spring. has left Fort Worth and it is
said he has jumped to the Fresno club

CURTIS IS AT HOME.
Senator Returns After His Journey
With Taft Train.

Senator Charles Curtis is home from
his trip from Omaha to Denver this
week in the Taft train. Speaking of
the presidents reception in Denver the
senator declared that he had never be-
fore seen anything like the enthuiasm
displayed on every hand. Two hun
bred thousand people were in Denver
to receive the president and at night
the big auditorium, with seating ca
pacity of fourteen thousand, was
crowded to the doors when Mr.. Taft
got up to speak.
eft was the same all along the route
of the train,'' said the senator. .'In
every village in Nebraska and Colorado
through which the special passed there
were cheering crowds. The crowds and
the enthusiasm compared to that of a
year ago when the president made his
western trip during the heat of the
campaign.
1.-The president is standing the trip
nicely and appears to be enjoying it all
very much. His throat is not giving
him any trouble at all and his health is
excellent up to this time"
Senator Curtis will remain quietly at
home until next week in order to catch
up with his correspondence. He speaks
at Abilene the first of next week and
will go down into the Seventh district
the week after next. He has had good
meetings all over the state this month.
These were nonpolitical, being picnics
and old soldiers reunions in the main.

RED CROSS WORK.
Fifty Cases of Injury and Accident
Handled During State Fair.

1t was a humanitarian work that the
Red Cross of Kansas engaged in rather
unostentatiously during the recent
state wide fair. that of alleviating suf-
fering in cases of accidents and sud-
den illness. Tt is thought by some that
all such work should be left to regular
physicians and surgeons; but it often
happens that simple remedies promptly
and intelHgently applied are the means
of saving human life; and to prevent
suffering in time of peace as well as
to alleviate suffering in time of war
and calamity is the mission of the Red
Cross.
There were upward of 80 cases treat
ed in ALL from a cut finger to a broken
collar bone and broken ribs. DR.. Keith's
hospital co-operated with the Red
Cross and furnished a nurse and full
hospital equipment for first-aid work
including the use of an ambulance when
required. The tent was in charge of
Sergeant B. P. Baker. who has had
experience in hospital work and assist
ed in the Red Cross tent on the fair
grounds last year. He was ably as
sisted by Geo. w. Wilson of the Uni
ted States life saving service of New
Jersey, station No. 1, on his way
through from New York to San Fran
cisco, and seeing the good work the
Red Cross was doing at the fair
grounds remained over for few days

SMOTHER|NG SPELLS
The Experience of This Kansas
Woman viii Be Valuable to
Others Of Her Sex.

To women who suffer, DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are worth their weight in
gold. A woman needs medicine to re
gulate her blood-supply or her life will
be q round of pain and suffering. DR.
Williams Pink Pills are of untold value
TO women for they increase that portion
of the blood which absorbs oxygen, the
great supporter of organic life. In this
way they may be said to make new
blood. They are good for men too but
are adapted in a Especial way to the needs
of women and growing girls.
Women who suffer will find en-
couragement in the cure of Mrs. Theo-
dore Bowman. of No. 1902 North Tenth
street, Cofeyville, Kansas, who says:
ST was troubled with smothering
spells for about three years and was a
sufferer with weakness common to my
sex. The smothering spells were worse
in the morning but would last until
noon. could scarcely get my breath.
They grew SO much worse that could
get hardly any rest day or night. I had
gas On the stomach and palpitation of
the heart.
MY doctor said that would have to
undergo an operation. / did not con-
sent to this and received no help until
tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
pills gave me great relief in reasonably
short time and finally cured me. My
health has since continued to be good. F"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have correct
ed serious disorders of the stomach, have
revitaized the nervous system and re-
stored to health sufferers from severe
disorders of the blood and nerves. For
rheumatism, indigestion, nervous head
aches and many forms of weakness and
debility DR. Williams Pink Pills are
recommended even If ordinary remedies
have been tried without relief
If you are ill and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases. Their merit
has made them the most widely used
family medicine in the world today.
They are absolutely harmless to the
most delicate system as they contain no
opiate or narcotic whatever.
