WHY WEAK
WOMEN NEED
A SAFE TONIC
Or. 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 DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are a 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. $3.50 Wal
nut street, Everett, Wash, who suffered
without relief until she tried DR. VIII
hams' Pink Pills, says:
Il suffered from weakness common
70 my sex for four years, and although
treated by our doctor for over two years,
found no relief until / tried DR.. Will
hams' Pink Pills. When l began to
take the pills I had not been able to
work for over q year and could not
stand on my feet for any length of time
because of the terrible pains NY
head ached most OF the time and was
very nervous. I could not get much
sleep and my head hurt so whenever [
would lie down that I had to be propped
up in bed. l also had a great deal of
backache.
The doctor finally told me that he
could not help me. then tried several
medicines but without relief until l be-
gan using Dr. Williams Pink Pills up
on the advice Of a druggist. After a
thorough trial noticed that my head
aches were disappearing. / 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 a wide range of diseases of
the blood and nerves, such as anamia,
rheumatism, after reflects OF the grip and
fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, and
even St. Vitus' dance and locomotor
ataxia.
Our new booklet, s'Plain Talks to
Women, will be sent free on request.

all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-

CHANGE PRISON TERMINAL.
Convicts Will Be Protected From
Moving Cars as Result.

-
Leavenworth, Kan, July 1s.-The
changing of the railroad terminals at
the state penitentiary, at which con-
victs have worked irreglilarly for sew
eral months, is to be finished prob
ably within a week.
Fear that state convicts would at
tempt to escape after the scheme en-
ployed by several federal prisoners
about a year ago, when they ran a
switch engine through the closed iron
gate, induced J. X. Codding, warden
at Lansing to make the change. The
new system, he believes, will eliminate
some of the danger of escape.
The old track inside the prison walls
has been torn up and the new road
bed has been graded. All that re-
mains to be done is to lay the rails.
The old steel is to be used. A gang
of about sixty convicts is employed at
the work.
When the work is completed not
only will the chances of escape be re-
duced. but also there will be less dan
ger of convicts being injured by the
train.

IS HOT WEATHER no BLAME?
Here's Some Tale of an Attack by
Horned Catfish.

Here's Some Tale of an Attack by
Horned Catfish.
Delphos, Kan. July 1S.-The editor
of the Republican springs the follow
ing story of an adventure with a
horned catfish:
John Prebo has about recovered
from wounds inflicted by a vicious
catfish a short time ago. Despite the
earnest warnings of his friends, he
ventured into the turbid waters of the
Solomon with fly and rod, intent upon
landing a ten-pound bass, which ira
dition has it haunts the waters in that
particular place. He Whistled per-
suasively and jiggled the fly alluringly,
but the big fish refused to come out
of hiding. So engrossed was he in this
occupation that he failed to note a
mighty fin which cut the water like
razor. and approached with lightning
swiftness. The wash OF the waves
upon the shore caused him to note the
agitation of the waters, but it was too
late. The mighty creature. with horns
like an old-time Texas steer, was upon
him, and he was engaged in life and
death struggle. The vicious creature
gored him in the knee, and there is
no question but that in another in
slant it would have impaled him upon
one of it's horns and deyoured him at
leisure had not John, with great pres
ence of mind, deity thrust his rod
down its throat for q yard and a half,
and then cleverly scooped out one of
it's eyes with a clamshell. The battle
was won.

SEED FAMINE N sALINA.
Cane. Kafir Corn and Other Late
Crops May Be impossible.


Salina, Kan, July 1S.-The short
age of crops in the west has caused
such a drain on the cane, kaffir corn
and millet seed markets in Salina as
to empty them completely.
AS a result, it is said. it is simply
impossible to buy the seed here now.
Cane, millet and kaf1r corn are the
late crops and the farmers of west
ern Kansas, spurred to hope by the
rains that came too late to save their
wheat, are planting large acreages of
the feed crops Shipment after ship
ment of the seed has gone west on the
Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific
main lines, and up the Plainville
branch.
Whether this shortage will work
hardship or not is no. known A
number of people in this vicinity have
contemplated blowing UP patches of
potatoes because of the failure of the
crop and putting it in cane or milIet,
and it may be that they con not OBJ
tain the seed.
