GROWING GIRLS
NEED A TONIC
When They Become Thin and
Pale If Proper Development
and Healthful WOmanhood
Is to Be Assured.

Poverty of the blood, scientifically
called anamla, is common in young
girls and in persons who are oyerworked
or confined within doors and makes it's
approach in SO stealthy a manner that
it is often well developed before it's
presence is recognized. Taken in time
the disease is readily durable, the specific
being tonic medicine which increases
the number OF red blood corpuscles thus
enabling the blood to carry the life
giving oxygen to all the tissues of the
body.
Mrs. Nellie E. Roscovius, of Tulalip,
Wash, was strong and healthy until
her fourteenth year when she went into
rapid decline. For the next year she
suffered from an@mia and was not
cured until she gave DIR. Williams,
Pink Pills trial. She says:
When / was fourteen years OF age
went into a decline and was miserable
for year. ! had not particle of color
and my blood was turning TO water
was very weak and could not walk up
stairs without great effort. had dizzy
spells and headaches all of the time and
was compelled to leave school
The doctors pronounced my trouble
a1lFHlla Dut L CID not receive much
benefit from them. Through a neigh
Dor, who had given her daughter Dr..
Williams Pink Pills, j began their use
After short treatment with the pills
was stronger. / quickly regained my
health and strength and have had no
occasion to use the pills SINCE
The tonic treatment with DIR. Will
iams' Pink Pills is successful because it
acts directly on the blood, purifying and
building it up to its normal health. 1t
thereby keeps the body healthy even
under unusual conditions.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
found invaluable in wide range of dis
eases of the blood and nerves such as
rheumatism, aftcr-effects of the grip and
feyers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St.
Nitus' dance and even partial paralysis
and locomotor ataxia.

RAILROADS AND
DANGER SIGNALS
Correspondents In st. Nicholas Tells
Of the Use Of Torpedoes to Warn
Railway Engineers of
Danger.
MUST NOT BE PASSED
The Explosion Of One Torpedo is a
Signal to Stop; Two Not More
Than 200 Feet Apart to
Reduce Speed.
MUST NOT BE PASSED

Pop, pop or perhaps a single
pop sharp and distinct, like that OIL
a giant fireEacker, heard not only or
the Fourth 0f July, but on every day
of the year, Sundays included--what
did it mean?" writes correspondent
of ST. Nicholas. And on almost any
night as look out of my window
lighted up by red or yellow fire works
Why this strange illumination?
AS all thesequeer happenings took
place on the railroad a few rods from
my house made inquiries of the rail-
way officials, and here are some in
teresting facts about the use Of these
curious fireworks. General Supt B.
R. Pollock of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad explained
as follows:
Our rules provide for the use of
decorators Commonly known as tor
pedoes) as audible signals and of
fusees, as visible signs. These tor
pedoes are attached to the top of the
rail on the engineers side of the
track by two small flexible metal
straps, which are easily bent around
the ball sof the rail and hold the tor
pedoes I'M place until exploded by the
first train passing over this track.
The explosion of one torpedo is a
signal to stop; the explosion of two
not more than 200 feet apart is a sig.
nal to reduce speed and look out for a
stop signal The fuses are of similar
construction toNthe well known Roman
candle used forN fireworks celebration
except that they sburn steady flame
without the explosions. A sharp iron
spike at the bottom end will usually
stick in the ground or,in the crosstie
when throw from the rear of train
and holds the fusee In an upright po-
sition, where it is more plainly Wis
ible.
A fusee must be lighted and left
by the flagman whenever a train Is
running on the time of another train
or behind its own time and under cir
cumstances which cali for protection.
A fusee on or near the track burning
red must not be passed. When burning
yellow the train may proceed with
caution when the way is seen and
known to be clear. Standard fusees
burn red for three minutes and vel
low for seven minutes and can be
seen for quite Assistance.

Honest Medicine Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in Its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Con pound and Foley
Kidney Pills. both OF which are true
medicines carefully compoundsd. OF
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical profess
sion itself as the best known remed.
ial agents for the disease they are
intended to counteract. For ov-
er three decades Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound has been
standard remedy for coughs;
colds and affections OF the throat
chest and lungs for children and for
grown persons, and It retains today
it's prominence above all other prep
arations OF Its kind. Foley Kidney
Pills are equally effective and merit.

plantations that the red glare Of a
flaming fusee on or near the track
warns the approaching engineer that
a preceding train has passed over his
track less than three minutes ahead
of him, and under no circumstances
must he pass the fusee while it is
burning red. When the flame turns to
yellow, he may proceed on with eau.
ton, only as the way is seen and
known to be clear, keeping in mind
that when the fusee changed from red
to yellow he was exactly three min.

may have stopped within short dis.
lance, or may be proceeding at an
unusually slow rate of speed
"Supt. Woodward of the Shore Line
division gives this additional. detail
regarding torpedoes:
When train stops upon the
main line and requires protection
against a following train, the flag
man goes back a specified distance
and places one torpedo. He then con
tinues further distance back, placing
two torpedoes. As soon as the train
he Is protecting is ready to start, the
engineer blows specified whistle sig
nal, which is a notice to the flagmar
to return to his train. On the way
back he picks up the one torpedo
leaving two on the rail to warn the
engineer of an approaching train thai
another train is a short distance
ahead, and to give the flagman time
to run back and get aboard of his
own train .,

LYNCH AND WAGNER
 IN ..I5 ROUND DRAW
Body Covered With Burns,
 Lynch Fights Gamely = Den ming Has Better of Jeff DOherty Sherman Outpoints Murphy

New Haven, March 29-In a fast and fard-fought 15-round bout last night before the Amazon Athletic Club, Ali Lynch, the Canadian champion ban tamweight, and Young Wagner of New York, claimant for the world s title, broke even.
 |/ With his side, arm and back badly burned from coming in contact with a hot stove in his training quarters, Ali Lynch was considerably handicap ped in his struggle with the tough New York West Slider. But with his body bleeding from the burns and constant scraping of the gloves, Lynch fought a remarkable battle. He went after his opponent in his usual game and never-die manner and fought every inch of ground, putting up a great showing.
 Lynch seemed to have the better of Wagner for the first few rounds and in the third round everything seemed to be in Lynch's favor. The Canad- ian blocked cleverly and sent in hard punches to the head and body that scored.
 Later on Wagner gained an advant- age and the other rounds were even with Wagner showing strong in some of the later rounds. Lynch's clever ness saved him from getting many Of the hard swings directed at his body. i Time and time again Wagner slammed in for the body and to some 1t may have seemed that Lynch was on the receiving end. But in fact Ali stop ped the blows with his gloves by clever blocking and only smiled when Wagner's rooters clleered.
 Jack Denning, the clean-cut, lanky welterweigFlt. surprised everyone by outpointing Jeff Doherty in the semi -windup bout of 12 rounds. In the second Denning cut loose, opening Do- frerty's eye and after that had rather l easy travelling. He struck, Jeff in the face and body hard and often while the New Yorker finished the bout without a, scratch He gave a great exhibition of scientific boxing and looks like a conner in the welterweight division.
 Kid Murphy returned from New Bedford where he was knocked out by Young Dyson, Monday night and put up a good showing with Eddie Sher- man of New York. The bout went ten rounds
 Sherman showed well and hit often, but his blows lacked steam and did no damage to the tough and game little New Haven boy. It was a pretty even thing

FRANK KLAUS FINISHES
 SULLIVAN IN THIRD
Pittsburger Has Montana Jack Helpless When Referee Joh
 Stops the Bout

New York, March 29-Frank Klaus of Pittsburg took the measure of Mon tana Jack Sullivan in jig-tine at the Fairmont Athletic Club last night. In the third round, after Klaus had dropped. Sullivan to the mat twice, Referee, Joh,\ fearful that Sullivan would be seriously hurt wisely inter- vened and stopped the bout. : Montana Jack was as a child in the hands of Klaus. The Pittsburg box CTS blows were too heavy for his ad- versary, and in less than nine minutes of actual fighting Sullivan was weary and helpless.
 ! The men stepped into the ring nearly equal as to weight. Sullivan had tip ped the scales at 157 pounds and Klaus at 15S pounds Sullivan, tall and slim, built like a ramrod in compari- son with the sturdy Klaus: who is built like a battleship, stood head and shoulders over the Pittsburger. Su1li- van had the reach and cleverness over Klaus, but that was about all. The wallop was in the hands of Klaus-in either hand, and with steam behind it.
 Klaus dropped Sullivan to his knees near the end of the first round with a left hook to the jaw but Sullivan jumped quickly to his feet and rushed to clinch. Sullivan up to that blow had jabbed Klaus frequently in the face with light lefts and rights,
 The boxing was fast and furious in the second session. Sullivan stabbed Klaus in the face with straight lefts and hard uppercuts, but Klaus came back strong and with a right cross to Jacks left ear cut it Sopen.
 :. Klaus knocked Sullivan down twice in the third round with left. hooks to the jaw. Each time he took the count of nine. When he arose the second time Klaus rained. such a.. shower of blows to his adversary's face that he reeled around the ring like drunk en man. As Sullivan was all in@physi- cally Referee Joh stopped the bout and sent Sullivan to his corner.

"AL" KETCHEL
 SHOWS PROMISE
Local SsPug" Looms Up as Lightweight Possibility He's Delivering the
 Wallop.

Among Bridgeport's 102,054 or more inhabitants, there is one, who, the wise ones say, is bound to reap harvests in the padded arena. He is Archie CAP KetcheI: a youngster, IS years of age, who weighs in at the present time around 133 pounds. Ketchel has taken on a Iew young sters in these parts and in New York city. and has been quite successful Unlike most of pugs at his age, and with his successes. Ketchel Is not a booster for himself; he'd rather plug for the other boys But quality is sure to come out; Ketchel IS too good to stay in the rear.
 At the present time Al is training at Bonds in Stratford, being one or the sparring partners Of Charlie Grlf- fin- Ketchers next mill will be on April f, when at South Norwalk be- fore the Twin City A. c. he will meet Eddie Kelly of New York, a youth who has quite rep among the many clubs in the big city.
 Ketchefs most recent bout was be- fore the Vanderbilt club of New York city when he put Johnny Marcks of New York away. KetchePs work in that mill excited most favorable com nent by the New York fight writers. Of the go, the New York American said: Next we had Al Ketchel and tommy MaTCkS. Al COfueS lEOHi OIIdl- ford and was one of Griffins spar ring partners It was the first time ne ever donned the mits in the ring. He proved to be clever lad and won handily. In fact, he landed so hard and often to the stomach in the fourth spasm that the referee called a halt"
 Ketchel finds it hard to get the lightweights in this city to go on with him. and has been unsuccessful in ob- taining bouts in either New Haven or Waterbury. In those places, the claim is made, that what men they. do have are either too light or too heavy for the local boy.
