These officers will spend two weeks
at the army camp. They will report

WHY WEAK
WOMEN NEED
A SAFE TONIC
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Tone Up
the Blood and Nerves and
Are Free From Habit
Forming Drugs.

The average woman has too little
blood because of the work, worry and
confinement indoors consequent upon
her household duties. Her nerves are
easily irritated; she worries over little
things; has severe sick headaches and
becomes in a general rundown condi-
ton. To such women DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are positive blessing. They
enrich the blood and tone up the nerves
thereby giving strength and health to
every part of the body.
Mrs. E. J. Garrison, of No. 2950 Wal
nut street, Everett, Wash, who suffered
without relief until she tried DIR. Viii
iams' Pink Pills, says:
Il suffered from weakness common
to my sex for four years, and although
treated by our doctor for over two years,
found no relief until 1 tried DIR. Will
hams' Pink Pills. When / began to
take the pills / had not been able to
work for over a year and could not
stand on my feet for any length of time
because of the terrible pains. My
head ached most of the time and I was
very nervous. l could not get much
sleep and my head hurt so whenever
would lie down that Ihad to be propped
up in bed. l also had great deal of
backache.
''The doctor finally told me that he
could not help me. I then tried several
medicines but without relief until be-
gan using DIR. Williams Pink Pills up
on the advice of a druggist. After
thorough trial 1 noticed that my head
aches were disappearing. I began to
sleep better and was not so nervous. I
kept on taking the pills for some time
longer and now feel that am cured
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new blood
and, as the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood, have been found
invaluable in wide range of diseases of
the blood and nerves, such as an@mia,
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, and
even St. Vitus' dance and locomotor
ataxia.

Women" will be sent free on request.

JOBBERS TO DINE.
Will Talk Over Freight Rates and
Other Things.

A meeting of a committee of the
Jobbers and Manufacturers associa-
ton was held this noon at the Com
mercial club, for the purpose of dis
cussing the order of business which
will be transacted at a $50 dinner
which the members of the organiza-
ton will enjoy Wednesday evening
at the Comm ercfai club.
1t was definitely decided that after
the other business has been transact
ed a discussion of the freight rate
schedule for Topeka will be held.
while it would be fine thing if the
Kaw could be harnessed and the man
ufacturing firms allowed to purchase
power at e cheap rate, still, in my
opinion, the rate question is much
more important said one of the of
GERS of the association. THE facts
are that while for % years the rail-
roads have given us practically no
readjustment of rates, they have, new
ertheless, given us about everything
we have asked for and the respon-
sibility for our situation probably
rests with u.s."

a MISSIONARY DEFICIT.
Legacies Make Up Only Gain for Last
Year.


New York April 1S.-Four of the
great missionary societies, three with
headquarters in this city and one in
Boston, have just closed their fiscal
year. Three of them end the year
with deficits, while one, although it has
a gain, must credit the larger part of
it to legacies.
The Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions held receipts Of $1,5S9, 600
last year, an advance of nearly $780,
900 over 1910. but of this sum $780,
900 came from legacies. The Presby-
terrain Board of Home Missions had
receipts last year of S1,053.0O0, a fall
ing off of $4,000. It's expenditures
were s1,192.000, so there is a shortage
of $13S,000
The two Baptist boards, home and
foreign, expanding Approximately
$2,000,000, show no increase The
home interests end the year with a
shortage of $500 and the foreign So
ciety is s62.500 in debt.

GIVE LARGE BOND.
A. A. Truslzett May Be Released on
Fifty Thousand Bail.

The largest bond ever asked by the
Kansas supreme court was required
yesterday of A. A. Truskett, convicted
in Montgomery county of the murder
of ]. D. S. Neeley- The bond for
$4,000, is given pending the per-
lection of the appeal of the case to the
supreme court and when the appeal is
completed a new bond will be required.
The lower court refused to grant a
stay of execution or fix a bond for
Truskett's release pending the appeal
so the supreme court was asked to act.
Truskett and the man he killed were
wealthy oil men in southern Kansas.
They quarreled over some oil leases
and Truskett killed Medley. The de-
Tense was insanity. Truskett was re-
quired to give a bond of $4,000 in the
lower court while waiting for the trial.

A lively discussion took place when
President Swendson criticised the man
ner in which contracts for work have
beent let in the past. James Cuthbert
of the building committee reported that
the Parkdale school was in need of d
new shingle roof and several coats of
paint. No estimate of the cost of the
work was submitted, and it was for this
reason that the president of the board
protested against the manner of pro-
cedure.

of the cost beforehand. All our repair
work should be let by contract and not

Cuthbert: "Who will make these
estimates? 1 haven't the time. If the

CAN'T FIND ANY COMFORT

There's no rest and but little peace
for any person whose kidneys are out
of order.
Not only does backache keep up its
dull throb day and night but there
are sharp twinges, cricks and stitches
of darting pain, achy joints. and sore,
stifE muscles.
The kidneys are likely to get con-
gested and inflamed following a chill,
a cold, grippe, fever, the continued
use Of strong drink, or from overwork,
q fall or some injury to the back.
Uric acid troubles - rheumatism,
neuralgia, nervousness, sciatica, govt,
weak eyes, headache. etc, follow
rapidly when the weakened kidneys
fail to filter the blood free from uric
poisons.
Sediment-thick and cloudy, or
gritty as sand, appears in the urine,
and passages are too frequent, too
scanty, or painful. There is danger
of dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel,
stone in the kidneys and diabetes.
To cure any of the e-described
Ills, you must get right at the cause
You must get the kidneys into good
order by using a good kidney remedy,
and there is none better than Doan's
kidney Pills, a remedy that is for the
kidneys only, and is composed of sim
pie, yet effective vegetable ingredients.

MEXICAN WAR

Says an American Gentleman VINO

1t Is a very difficult matter to get

One day it isreported that a big
war is on, the next that it is thought
the trouble is about over How
ever, Joseph Hatfield of Fit. Smith,
who has just retarned from the bor-
der, states that the revolution is a
big affair. Speaking of the exist
ing conditions he says;
"People of the United States
have no idea of the real situation IN
Mexico at the present time. The
revolution has assumed enormous
proportions, and in my opinion 1t
will only be matter of few weeks
until the United States government
will intervene IN one way or an
other-either to aid Diaz or become
involved in war against his govern
ment.
"Without the United States in
tervening the overthrow of Diaz is
as good as certain. His soldiers,
with the exception of the rurales of
Mexico City, who are lot of listless
greasers, no ambition and nothing
to fight for but few cantavos day
They will all desert to Madero wher
they find he has commissary.
