AFTER-EFFEC7S
OF ACUTE FEvERS
Typhoid Left This Brooklyn
Man a Chronic Invalid.
1t Was Not Until He Tried the
Tonic Treatment That His
Health Was Restored.

Many whose health has been wrecked
by an attack OF typhoid, scarlet or
malarial fever or of the grip, will be in
terested in the manner in which one
sufferer found relief from the condition
in which the acute attack lett him. Mr..
d. 4. kephart, now living at No oil
Richmond street, Brooklyn. n. y. says:
About six years ago | had typhoid
fever while working in a lumber camp
near Altoona, Pa. The disease left my
bowels in such condition that the
doctors told Inc could not be cured.
My bowels were inactive and boated.
| had to take strong laXatives all of the
time but even that did not give me re-
lief. My appetite was good but what l
ate distressed me. | was dizzy and ire
quently would topple over while walk
ing along the street.
81 was treated by several doctors and
tried many kinds OF medicines but
nothing helped me until | tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. | gave them
good trial with the result that nv
bowels became regular. My blood soon
became in good condition and | have
been well ever since"
The symptoms shown when the health
is wrecked by the attack of an acute
disease differ in almost every case but
the condition is one which calls en-
phatically for tonic for the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
medicine for this purpose for they act
directly on the blood which they cleanse
of all impurities.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
ansemia, rheumatism, sciatca, nervous
ness, alter affects OF the grip and fevers,
and neuralgia, owing to their blood
building property. These pills were
originally a prescription used in the
doctors private practice and their bene-
fit to mankind has been increased many
thousand-fold by their being placed on
general sale with the doctor own direc-
tions for use.
Or. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt OF price, SO cents per box;
six boxes $3.50, by the Dr. Williams

The regular toll between these cities

for half an hour daily.
AS the Press uses the service after 10

delay IN getting the connection; the line

The connection is never disturbed by the

But little of this dainty painted satin
wood is preserved now. There is a IA
nous dressing table in the Victoria and
Albert Museum with it's wonderful figure
medallions, but the work was from its
very nature too fragile to survive except
under very exceptional circumstances.
Where eighteenth century painted satin
wood chairs are still extant, it is in all
probability due to the fact that their
owners followed the old French fashion
in drawing room furnishing and had one
suite of chairs for use and another for
ornament. Inlaid satinwood furniture
is to be found in better preservation, but
this is rare and the number of its fortu-
nate possessors comparatively limited.

OLD SWITCH HOUSE
BURNED TO GROUND.
Blaze of Notorious Resort Caused By
Sparks From Locomotive.

Meriden, July S.-The building
knownsas the "Old Switch House" in
Tracy was burned to the ground
Thursday afternoon shortly after four
o'clock. Sparks from a passing loco
motive were the cause of the IRE.
The Tracy fire department did not
put in an appearance because most
of the members are out of town en-
joying their vacations and there were
not enough men around to man the
apparatus.
The fire started on the roof and
quickly finished the structure which
was in rickety condition and very dry
because of the intense heat of the
past few days.
man named Crawford residing in
Bridgeport is reported to be the own
er of the building. The estimated
damage cannot be very high for
there were no furnishings in the
building and it was 30 diiapidated
that its real estate value was con-
sequently low.
Up to the time it was vacated sew
eral years ago the house bore a very
shady reputation. The people of
Tracy and Yalesvi1le declared a re-
lentless war on this place of abode
and after a succession of raids sew
eral years ago it was finally closed
Furniture was eft in the building
and this was stolen, those guilty be-
ing certain young men who had to
pay the penalty.
Not resident of Tracy will mourn
the disappearance of the House with

CLIPPING POWER OF LORDS.

The Lords fight hard against losing
their right to amend money bills. The
legislation taking away their veto
power oyer such measures has come
from the Commons to the upper
house. The peers are seeking by
amendment to destroy some of he
force Of the blow aimed at their au-
thority.
Such an amendment is the one
making it the function of six peers
and six members Of the commons to
decide what is a money bill. The
measure as drawn makes the speaker
of the House the judge.
1T is pretty definitely settled that
the Commons will reject all of the
changes proposed by the Lords and
VIII send the sbflf back for passage.
The Lords Will then be face to face
with the necessity of submission, or
otherwise enough new peers will be
demanded of the king to make a ma
jority. Such request from the min
istry to the king is equivalent to a

Cong. Reilly Is
Father Of Novel
Postal Scheme
Would Establish Rural Pas
senger, Freight, Parcels
Post and Mail Service by
Auto.

Washington, July S-Provision for a
combination passenger, mail, parcels
post and freight service, by automo-
bile, is made in bill introduced in
the House by Representative Reilly Of
connecticut. He calls the measure
a bill for "the establishment of an
experimental o-post-coach rural
service"
The bill provides for the installa-
ton by the Postmaster General of de-
livery routes, where the roads are
good. The routes are to start from
a post office which is near a steam
railroad or electric line. The Coaches
are to carry nearly everything in the
calendar, from a letter to child on
its way to school.
For the convenient collection of pas
sengers and parcels, the bill requests
that citizens on the proposed routes
provide post cabins at points along
the highways traversed, which shall
be satisfactory to the Postmaster Gen.
eral. Representative Reilly's bill sug-
gests that the postmen and the own
ers have keys to these cabins.
Each route is to be covered twice
each day, according to the bill The
speed capacity Of the coaches shall
be at least 100 miles a day. Their
carrying capacity shall be not less
than ten passengers and 1,500 pounds
of merchandise
Passengers will be required to pay
ten cents per trip if adults, five cents
if children, and two and one-half
cent If children going to or coming
from school, The rates on parcels as
set forth in the bill range from one
cent, for a box ''one-eighth the size
of a standard suit case, to i25 cents
for parcels up to the capacity of a
barrel and POO pounds in weight.
There is no possibility of the bill be-
ing considered at the extra session,

Thinks He Has

Chief Pathologist of Bureau

Result of His Expert
ments

Washington, July S.-That cancer
is germ disease and not due to
other causes is the claim of DR..
Frank F. Smith. chief Pathologist of
the Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture.
For seven years DR.. Smith has held
to his theory and now he says he
has proved that plant cancers---or
tumors-are due to germs and he
claims that there is not the slight
est doubt but that human cancers
are due to the same cause.

day, "claim that cancer is not germ

experiments and years of patient
work I have found that is so, and
every one who has studied the vege-
table and animal world knows that
a similarity there is between the
plant tumor and the human cancer.
