WHY NOT HAVE

and Durable as This Ohio
Case Proves.

Mrs. G. E. Neu, of No. 504 Oak

to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People by her husband after being in
nervous and rundown condition for
over two years. She says.
1t was quite good while before I

and loss of sleep due to the sickness of
my children, began to notice that |
was getting nervous and was always

aches back OF my eyes and quite often
was dizzy. My hands and feet We're al
ways cold and neither friction nor heat
would warm them. | had no appetite
and could not go upstairs without stop
ping TO rest.
II was complaining for over two
years and often called in the doctor but
he didn't help me. My husband had
taken Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

stantly urging me TO try them. Finally
to please him / consented to give the
pills trial Before | bad taken many
boxes | felt better and then was only
too glad to continue using them |

CHANGES BLAINE PORTRAIT.
Artist Franzen Has II Removed Il
Better Lighted Position.

August Franzen. the New York art
ist. Who painted the portrait OF James
g. Blaine, which has been recently
hung in the rotunda, was at the State
House, Thursday afternoon, and at his
suggestion the portrait was removed
from the position where it was orig
inally hung on Thanksgiving day to
the southwest corner of the rotunda
! next the window and in plain view
from the entrance. Mr.. Franzen con-
siders the light much clearer there,
ard believes the portrait will show to
much better advantage
The artist, at Governor Plaisted' s
request, gave suggestions for a
changed grouping of the other pic
lures in the rotunda. which gives a
much more satisfactory arrangement
from an artistic standpoint. He also
suggested the removal of the por-
traits of Ger. Knox and Abraham Lin
coin to positions in the rotunda be-
side the flag cases and upon opposite
walls from each other.
Mr.. Franzen has been engaged by
the Governor to retouch seVc~e1 g tie
portraits, including that of Washing-
ton. He was very enthusiastic in nus
praise of the portrait of Washington.
which he considers a fine piece of
workmanship.
Mr.. Franzen informed the Governor
that he believed the portrait of Wash
ngton to be a Peele portrait, a replica.

MAKES ROUGH SKINS
SMOOTH AND CLEAR

TT is a hopeless task toStry to over
come complexion faults with the aid
of face powder" writes Mrs. Mae Mar
tyn, in the Denver Advocate, Tor the
reason that powder clogs pores and so
impedes their functions that black
heads, pimples and enlarged pores re-
suit.
"A very fine lotion to rid the skin of
unnatural conditions is made by stir
ring teaspoonfuls glycerine in 12 pint
hot water then adding ounces spur

of water, it will dry more quickly. APP
ply this lotion sparingly and massage
in lightly and the skin will take on q

probably be ready in few days to re-
ceive the returned regimental battle
flags. The work of placing the flags
will be done by an expert decorator,
who will seek to give each regiment
equal prominence.
Several of the regiments have more
than one flag and a number of them
have guidons. New plates have been
obtained showing the number of the
regiment to which each flag belonged
and the plan which will be adopted
will be that of putting one flag of each
regiment in the front rows, with the
guidons and extra flags filling the re-
mainder of the cases.

Commissioner of Agriculture John T.
Buckley, in preparing the data for The

dealing with the sheep industry of the
state, has made the remarkable dis
covery that from 1900 to 1910 the num-
Der of sheep raised IN the State has
diminished almost one half The total
number Of sheep in the State in 1900.
according 10 the figures of the State
assessors, was 24S,14o. while in 1910 the
number had diminished To 125,439.

ley, Thursday forenoon. in discussing
the matter with a journal reporter.
We have better fencing today and
better protection from the dogs. SO that
the old excuses of not being able to
fence against them and Of destruction
by dogs do not seem to obtain. the
laws afford the owners better protec-
ton from dogs and other animals than
formerly and that with the increasing
demand and higher prices paid for
beef and mutton would seem to make
sheep raising more profitable than ever
before. The woven wire fencing that
IS manufactured at the present time
VIII keep the sheep IN and the dogs
out. as nothing else can
The Bulletin besides a general state
ment in regard to the sheep industry,
will contain number Of interesting
articles from breeders in different sec
tons of the state which will be of
great practical value. It Will be ready
to go to the printer in a few days and
viii probably be issued the last of the
month.
