BILL MAY PASS.
Postal Savings Bank Measure May
Become a Law.

Washington, May 6.-Prospects fol
a postal savings bank bill CT some sort
are improving. For four days the
postroads has been holding an infor-
NAL discussion of the bill. and it is
stated that from the great variety and
volume of views expressed there is be-
ginning to appear ground for agree
ment. Just what this basis may be il
is not yet easy to predict.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Gardner (Rep., N j., which pro-
vides for the deposit of postal savings
funds in national banks. to be with
drawn whenever two million dollars
are accumulated and invested in gov
eminent securities is said to be favor
ably regarded by 4 number of the
committee
A proposal to have government
bonds issued in small denominations
which may be purchased by postal saw
ings depositors is also said to be meet
ing with some favor. 1t is suggested
that the government issue bonds in de-
nominations as low as $25 and sell
them to individual purchasers. Ac-
cording to information from the COM
mittee. il is not unlikely that a mu-
tual ground may be reached and a
bill reported from committee with the
next two weeks. The views of the
members of the house generally are OF
great and divergent variety and any
bill which the committee may report
is sure, it is said, to prove unsatis-
factory to large proportion of the
membership

ARE TO FIGHT INCREASE
Chicago Merchants Will Try to Pre-
vent Boost in Freight Rates.

Chicago, May 6.-The Chicago asso-
citation of commerce and the Illinois
Manufacturers association have taken
steps TO begin a fight to prevent the
proposed increase in class freight rates
on railroads between Chicago and the
east.
John NJ. Glenn. secretary of the Hi
nois Manufacturers association, today
said:
Although We had heard from time
to time the railroads east of here and
serving all territory to the seaboard,
and north of the Ohio river TO the
Canadian border, were contemplating
increases. We had no idea that the
movement had reached such an adj
vanced stage. We now fully under
stand that the advances will go into
effect by the middle of July. and that
there seems to be no way of stopping
them unless we appeal to the courts
for an injunction restraining the rail-
roads from raising rates until the mat
ter can be determined by the inter
state commerce commission
I'VE shall have a directors meeting
and 1 think a call will be Issued for
general mass meeting of shippers to
be held soon in Chicago"

FROM A WOMAN
In KANSAS CITY
Who Feels 1t Her Duty to Tel
Other Women of the Treat
ment That Cured Her and
Her Daughter.

As a wo1nan's health is dependent upon
the condition OF the blood, every mother,
who fails to regain her strength after
childbirth, should hasten her return TO
health and save herself from years OF I'M
necessary suffering, by giving DR.. Viii
Hams Pink Pills a thorough trial. The
pure, new blood. which the pills make,
strengthens the weakened system until
health is restored.
Mrs. Eta Estes, of No. 333 South
Lawndale street, Kansas City, Mo, re-
ceived such great help from the use OF
DR. Williams Pink Pills that she feels it
her duty to give them her hearty recon-
mendation.
after my baby was born, she says,
81 did not gain in strength as l should
have. l was generally run down. had
trembling spells so that / could hardly
walk across the floor. 1t seemed as
though l was going TO fall. l did not
have any color and kept losing in flesh
until | was almost a skeleton. l had
severe headaches and pains in the side,
arms and shoulders. was unable TO do
my homework.
III grew worse under the doctors treat
ment and finally gave it up in order to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
helped me Immediately and l became
stronger each day. 1 was soon able to do
my work and am now in the best of
health. I have since given DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to my daughter for poor blood
and severe pains in the side. After
short trial she was restored to health. [
am convinced that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will do all that is claimed for them
and advise any woman who is suffering
as did to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills
at once and not wait another day"
As most OF the diseases from which wo-
men suffer are directly caused by lack
OF blood, DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
been found unequaued in the treatment
of anamia, green sickness, delayed de-
velopment, leucorrhoea and all irregulari-
ties arising from impure or watery blood
and weak nerves.
Every mother should have our booklets,
''Plain Talks TO Women" and Care OF
the Baby" which Will be sent free upon
postal card request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for s.. 80, by the DR.. Williams
