A SAFE TONIC
FOR MOTHERS
WHO DO NOT RECOVER THEIR
STRENGTH AS THEY SHOULD.
Not Every Tonic Is Suited for Their
Use but the Remedy That Cured
This Woman Is Safe and
Efficient

Every mother, who fails to regain her
strength and health after confinement,
needs tonic The years of weakness
and suffering, which so often follow, are
unnecessary and easily avoidable. The
fact that her strength does not return is
a certain indication that the blood has
been overtaxed and is impoverished.
This condition is often made worse, for
the mother often takes up her household
duties while she is still weak, when a
complete breakdown results.
The strength that the weak mother
needs can be quickly found in the tonic
treatment with Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
These pills are blood-builder and they
soon furnish the entire body with a
notwithstanding stream of pure, red blood.
The following statement, made by Mrs.
George F. Sylvester, OF No. 517 Second
street, s. E., Watertown, South Dakota,
regarding her cure by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills after several months of suffering with
weakness, will interest every young
mother:
~ was left in a very weak condition
after the birth of my child. My limbs
were numb and I had no feeling in them.
Later there was numb sensation all
over my body. Finally my eyes were
affected. There was burning sensation
in them all of the time and they felt as
though they were on fire. My suffering
was intense and had to lie in bed part
of the time.
cat the time was living at Newton,
Iowa, and received but little benefit from
my doctor there Later was treated by
specialist at Des Moines, but as | be-
came no better decided to try DR.. Viii
liams' Pink Pills, which my people had
been reading about in the papers. The
pills gave me great relief in short time.
The burning sensation left my eyes, the
numbness disappeared, and my general
health improved. continued using the
pills and was cured. /" ).
A booklet, "Plain Talks to Women,
which will be sent free to any suffering
woman, gives many helpful suggestions in
regard to the care of the health.
All druggists sell DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 80 cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. 7.

and found that the pills were scatter
ed over the table, she knowing WE'LL
that the pills were kept in the box
she at once felt alarmed for the child
and asked If she had taken the poison
which was denied. but upon opening
her mouth it could be plainly seen,
that the drug had been swallowed.
DIR. Washburn of Donnellson was at
once called who did all in his pow
er to save the young life. but it was
too late. The young victim passed away
under terrible agony within thirty
minutes after the arrival of the ply
sician. The demised was bright lit

Has Looked Over the Field.

A week ago Mr.. Hufstader went to
St Louis to look over the 1eid, and
was greatly pleased with his findings
The offer to again enter the associa-
ton work was SO flattering that the
former general secretary of the local
Y. NJ. C. A. could not well afford to
pass it up and through urgent re-
quest of George T. Coxhead, General
secretary OF the st. Louis Central
Young Mems Christian Association
and persuasions of the board of d.
rectors there, the opportunity seems
a golden one as there are still better
things in store for Mr.. Hufstader af-
ter he has re-entered the work, and
become better acquainted.
Mrs. Hufstader and daughter and
son will not remove to st. Louis un-
til the first of November.

Lem Andrews, Veteran Employe Of
the Government, Took carboIic
Acid for Whisky Last
Night.
LABELLED POISON
Failed to Notice the Label Of Bottle
But Dose Taken Was Small
one-Was Very Sick for
Few Hours.

Taking what he thought to be an
early evening bracer from a whiskey
flask labeled poison but what in
reality was carbollc acid of high
per cent of strength, Lem Andrews,
veteran employe of the government,
VINO lives at the sluiceway opposite
sandusky, lowered on the verge of
death early last evening.
His mistake did not result fatally
because the dose he took was small
one, but for several hours he was
miserably sick and today he is suf-
fering from painful burns to his
mouth.
Two doctors from Keokuk made the
trip to Sandusky, but an hour had
elapsed from the time Mr.. Andrews
had taken the acid Milk and cream
had been given him by members of
the family in order to dilute the acid
in his stomach as much as possible
and he was out of danger by the
time the doctors arrived.
Mr.. Andrews in his old age has
made a practice of keeping a small
flask about the house. His eye sight
is not the best and when he picked
up the wrong bottle last night he
failed to notice the poison label on it
The color was deceiving as the car
bolic acid had turned to a color al
most the same as whisky, which very
often results in an acid of this
strength after it has been standing fol
a time.

OF Invaluable Service Here.

The work performed by Mr.. HUFF
stader in the Keokuk Y. M. C. A.
cannot be measured. After listening
to one of his sermons, a short noon,
shop meeting address or just plain
heart to heart talk wonderment that
Mr.. Hufstader has been an inspira-
tion in the upbuilding of association
and social work in the local Young
Mems Christian Association, since
coming to Keokuk from Scranton,
Pa, a year ago last month, would
cease entirely. AS an ardent worker
for the association and the church
and in the mere word. civism, his
equal especially in association work
here, is yet to be found.
1t has been a pleasure to know Rob
ert Cary Hufstader and there are
many hundreds who in parting wish
him God-speed and the highest and
greatest measure of success, attain
able, in the noble calling which has
become his life work

UNINSURED SUCCESS
Locally Mr.. Hufstader viii be Great
ly Missed and st. Louis is
Fortunate in Securing His
Services.

Robert Cary Hufstader, recently
resigned as general secretary of the;
Young Mems Christian association in
this city, week from this Thursday.
leaves for st. Louis where he will re-
enter association work.
This announcement was made last
evening to a Gate City reporter by
Mr.. Hufstader himself and the news
will be received with pleasurable in
terest by hundreds of friends in this
city who have come to learn the
warm congeniality in the heart of
the former head of the Keokuk insti-
tuition.
After lengthy and careful cogitat-
ing Mr.. Hufstader decided to again
ally himself with the work of the
Young Mems Christian Association
and he has elected to accept the re-
sponsible position OF assistant gener-
al secretary of the Central Y. NJ. G.
A. OF st. Louis. Those who have seen
the magnificent association and the
large proportions of the Y. M. G. A.
in that city, will know something of
the elevation and responsibility car
ried with the assistant general secre-
taryship, and the association of the
metropolitan city is indeed fortunate
in securing the services of man
best versed with conditions in that
vocation today, and as business and
advisory head to the immense work
in the southern metropolis, he will
undoubtedly meet with success.

The First Presbyterian church of
st. Louis is reputed to have one of
the finest musical quartets in this
section of the country. Mr.. Hufstader
has already agreed to carry the tenor
part of the musical company in that
church and will commence his vocal
work there almost Immediately. He
has a wonderfully sweet and powerful
voice and has favored Keokuk people
a number of times on public and on
private occasions and his work as
vocalist will undoubtedly strengthen
the musical side of the organization
to which he has already proffered his
accepted services. During the past
several years, Mr.. Hufstader has writ
ten much. Although not quite on a
par with his singing, he has a beau
tiful and inspiring way of writing and
telling stories with the pen in prose
and poetry that is delightful At first
acquaintance, one might be led to be-
lieye that Mr.. Hufstader is plagar-
ist but after knowing better the work
ings of his mind, rich in brilliancy and
rarely gifted, the idea of plagiarism
becomes far cast.

resignation as general secretary Of
the Keokuk Y. NJ. G.. A. to the board
Of association directors at the month
~ business meeting in August, and
the same action was announced to
the public, there was general regret
that Mr.. Hufstader had decided to
leave association work. The bright

the great good that had been accom-
plished during his years administra-
ton of affairs here, were greatly no.

pass, had just rounded into compile.

appealed to Mr. Hufstader and at the
