GAINED 80 POUNDS
In Wasting Diseases Your
Weight Is the Index of
Your Condition.

If you are suffering from lack of blood,
or anemia, read this true story OF the
symptoms of a typical case and OF it's
cure by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, as related by Miss Kathleen
Lee, of jefferson, Mass.
Some years ago. she says, II was
run down to mere shadow through
suffering from anemia. l was sick for
ten years from the time l was young
girl and was often confined to bed My
lips and ears were without particle of
color and / was pale and thin. | had
an awful cough, my nerves were weak
and many nights could not sleep at all.
My appetite was poor, my eyes troubled
me, there being black clouds before
them and grew very respondent. 1

condition until about three years ago
when l began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People.
~ was treated by doctors for long
time but they didn't do me particle of
good. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People were recommended to me
by druggist and also by friend who
had used them with benefit. bought
three boxes and after taking them felt
so much better that | kept on taking
them regularly for quite a while. 1
couldn't be in better health than am
now and my friends often ask me what
has made me look SO well. eat heart
lily, can do good days work and my
nerves are strong. Since taking the
pills I have increased in weight from
80 to 100 pounds.
There must be no guess work about
the treatment of pale, anamic girls.
Mistakes or delay in the treatment may
result in such a serious impairment of
their health that they will be weak and
sickly during the rest of their lives. In
this disease there is loss of richness
in the blood and an entire inability of
the system to make good this loss with
out careful treatment. Themost satisfac-
tory way to give the blood the elements
which it lacks is through DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. A thorough,
persistent trial will restore the blood to
its normal richness and health.
A new edition OF our booklet, obs
eases of the Blood" will be sent free
on request to any one interested.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, SOC. per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

PATTANGALL AND PLAISTED'S
"MODEL SALOON"

The people of Maine mustn't lay to
their souls any fattering JUNCTION of be-
lief that the rum power, so long as it has
its eager allies among the Democratic
politicians, is going to abandon its ee-
forts to foist upon this people the open
saloon. Gov. Plaisted, by and with the
advice and consent of Attorney General
Pattangall, is assiduously addressing
himself to the congenial task of opening
way to the admission of that tremen-
dous source of nefarious political power.
The methods Of campaign are unique and
insidiously willy. Notice the "model sa-
loon" that the Governor and his clever
friends wish us to believe they propose
to introduce here. We print their pro-
gram on our first page. 1t is instructive
reading and shows how meek and lowly
countenance the rum power can dis
play when it is endeavoring to thrust its
head into the tent. Do the people of
Maine intend to be fooled by this ''model
saloon" propaganda? We trow not.
Why do not the rum interests set up
their ''model saloon" in some of the ter
ritory where they are already strongly
intrenched? If the saloon is good thing
for community, and especially the
''model saloon" let them show US one in
operation and let US have the report Of
the community upon it. There's no such
thing now in the United States as a
''model saloon" of the character so cum
ningly proffered by Gov. Plaisted's
friends, and we may well question the
Governors sincerity when he asks the
people of Maine to let him experiment
here with one.-Rockland Courier-Ga-
Zette.

solid designs while the amount of hand
some lace used with such pieces is limit
ed only by the length of the purse
strings.
1.-THE DIANA PATTERN.
Among the new designs in silver moth
ing is daintier than the wreath pattern
shown in the illustration. This is called
Diana" after the Greek Goddess of
Hunting, and is made up with soft
gray finish, so perfectly initiating the
style and appearance of the most expen-
sive sterling ware that it deceives even
jeweler, nor does the mark calvin
Patent" show that the ware is plate,
since the same concern makes sterling
pieces as we'll as fine plate.
THE WRAPPING OF GIFTS.
Half the effect of gift is lost if it
is not properly wrapped and tied. Silver
ware placed in satin lined case appears
especially creditable to the giver and at
tractive to the recipient. There are no
end of pretty separate pieces to be had
in matching patterns, so that any desir-
ed amount may be invested. If only in
innate friends and relatives would con-
suit together before selecting their gifts,
girls would receive matching pieces in
stead of hodge podge of patterns, also
exasperating duplicates would be avoided.
Where silver is to be stored it should be
perfectly clean and dry, and enclosed in
bags of canton flannel, then it needs
only brisk rubbing to be ready for use
at short notice.
CHINA AND GLASS.
China and glass offer another field for
cooperative selection. The "Open Stock
patterns that dealers carry are the best
choice since the pieces can always be
matched up if broken, or added to as the
need for more arises.
BLUE AND WHITE.
Blue and white designs are standard
favorites, and the old "Onion" pattern
can scarcely be improved upon. India
wear with its quaint pagodas and bridges
in the same color is another popular
choice. White with touch of gold is
always elegant if the china and gilt are
of first quality. Cheap gilt is an abomi-
nation and wears off quickly. Crystal
and Colonial glass is rather more favor
ed than cut glass this season.
