RESULT Of
IMPURE BLOOD
The System Is Left Weak. Ron
Down and Helpless Against
the Attacks of Disease.

If you need strength, if your blood is
thin, your digestion disordered, it will
pay you to investigate the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed 60 many weak, anamic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose adj
dress is r. F. D. No. 8, Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
"For months after the birth of my
baby, I suffered terribly from a general
breakdown in health. Twas in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. l was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
thin. My appetite was gone and my
head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be a rush of blood
to my head and l would faint away. I
was very nervous and was not strong
enough to do any work.
"As the treatment l was taking did
not help me, l began to take DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which a friend said
had helped her. After taking a few
boxes, l began to get well rapidly. I
continued using them for a time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life"
The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
Spouse to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured anamia, a~fter-effects of the grip
and ~fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and St. Vit1s' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever a tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, "Diseases OF the
Blood" containing fnller information
about rheumatism and other diseases Of
the blood will he sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt OF price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

"A careful v made of a mum.
Der of men farming in a large way

expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather

average freight rate is not yer ID

the cost Of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an

wheat Of 1914 cents: and though this
is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, 1t is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of

accompanied by friends had motor
ed to this CITY," 1t now develops
that there is no Mrs. Osborn and
Louis has beer quite busy answer
ing fool questions relating to the
motoring trip. The initials were
wrong. We were informed of the
advent of the Osborns on their
motor and in writing it took the
first Osborn initials from Virginia
that came into Our head. We
hope that the genial Louie will
overlook this and at once get busy
and make the item good for the
next visit. 1t is not our fault
that there is no Mrs. Osborne and
Judging by reports received of Mr..

of Virginia that there is no Mrs.

fectly willing to assume the ap-
pelation and wear it with dignity.

in the international parcel-post
service. To send II pounds of
merchandise even ten miles by post
now we must divide it into three
parcels and pay 81 10 postage.
The new bill goes only part of
the way along the path marked out
by other nations. In Germany the
post carries II pounds of merchan-
disc forty-six miles for cents and
40 pounds for 60 cents, with cheap
facilities for insurance. France
carries % pounds parcels for rs
cents. Russia limits her parcels to
1873 pounds and follows about the
same rate as that prevailing in the
other countries of Europe.
But the bill is a good start. 1t
may not go far enough and it will
have to be modified in many partic-
ulars. The weight limit should be
raised and the prices reduced. The
law is fair beginning and public
opinion will in time force the neces-
sary legislation to make our parcel
post system more practical and
popular.
