TREATMENT OF
RHEUMATISM
Should Be Directed Toward
Restoring the Blood to Its
Normal Condition.
Every Sufferer Will Be Interested in Thi.
Case at Snohonish, Wash, Which
Was Cured by the Use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills,

In an attack of rheumatism the blood
is rendered thin and weak with amazing
rapidity.
The treatment of the disease should be
directed towards restoring the blood to
its normal strength for unless it is pure,
rich and red the rheumatic poisons can
not be driven from the system. The
experience of thousands of sufferers has
been that there is no better blood build
or than DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
quickly enrich and purify the blood and
make a permanent cure. While using
the pills light nourishing diet should be
taken and exposure to cold, dampness
and draughts avoided.
The cure of Miss Marguerite Hall, OF
Snohomish, Wash, by this treatment,
was recently described by her mother,
Mrs. G. S. Hall, as follows:
"a few years ago my daughter,
Marguerite, was suffering from severe
attack of rheumatism Her limbs were
swollen to about twice their normal size
and the pains extended from the knees
to the feet. The pains were constant and
were so intense that I could scarcely
move her.
al applied liniments and bandaged the
limbs for some time but there was no i'm
provement. finally bought few boxes
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
helped her very quickly and gave then,
to her until she was entirely cured. She
has not had an attack since may also
say that | have used the pills to build UP
my system. l shall always be grateful
for the benefit DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have given us.

Over 5000 people crossed the river
on the Ferry Meeker which plies be-
tween Warsaw and Alexandria, last

comparisons for the previous year is
as follows:
The Meeker came out of the canal
Monday, March %, 1910; entered the
seasons trade April LIST. Finished the
seasons work Dec. l. In the eight
months the Meeker ran a total dis
lance of $3.50 miles. She carried $50
loads of merchandise, 1900 two horse
wagons, S54 one horse wagons, 3aI
loads of beer, 249 loads for WARSAW

one horse loads for ]. A. White Luna.

150 sheep, $50 hogs, 81 saddle horses

Think Bell the Real owner.

There is no doubt in the minds OF
many that the Bell Telephone com
pany, is the real owner now of the
Mississippi Valley Telephone company
of this city. the property sold to
Charles Webster, at the November
sale. Though the purchaser claims
to be making only a private invest
ment. the theory advanced and the
opinion of those who are in a position
to know, is that the Bell has taken
over the local exchange which was
bought at something more than s175,
900.
The only local interest that the deal
conveys with it, Is the superstition oil
what might have followed in the mat
ter of boosting rates.
What has been said, however, re-
garding that matter is probably suf
ficient to quiet all controversy along
these lines.

Rev. John S. Allen, of New York,
thinks our divorce laws should be lib
eralized. In addition to the present
grounds, he would have divorce granted
in every case where infelicity is shown.
Difference in habits or tastes are In his
eyes ample ground for legal separation.
If the party desiring freedom from the
bonds of matrim my is not able to bear
the expense, he would have the public
bear the cost. Divorce should be as
free as the air. We don't wish to
charge the reverend gentleman with
being mercenary, but it occurs to us
that one effect of such liberal divorce
laws would be an increase in the num-
Der of marriages. Probably the real
reason of the outbreak is temporary
alteration on account of the hot
weather.

While we don't know now much it
