What Active Treatment With
d.. Williams Pink Pills
Accomplished IN a
Recent Case.
Recent Case.

MI. Francis M. Poole, a harness maxi
er, of Garvin, Lyon Co., Mimi, says:
any illness started in 1902, with
sharp pains all through my limbs. At
first I thought it was rheumatism but
the pains kept getting more and moro
severe and I grew steadily worse. Later
a numbness came owe my feet. 1t
gradually extended up my legs to my
spine and waist. By this time l had
lost all control of my legs. Next my
bladder and bowels were affected and /
lost all control of them. At this stage
OF the disease I was perfectly helpless
and from November, 1905, to April,
1906, l was confined to the bed. My
memory va so affected that / thought
l would lose my mind. l looked just
like a dead person. My lips and finger
nails were blue. l suffered with ter
rible sharp, shooting pains and could
get relief only from the use of morphine
II was treated by five st. Paul doc
tors. ALI of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said l could
not live a year and another told my
wife all he could do for me was to give
medicine to relieve the pain. I was
discouraged and, when my brother-in-
law urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, l did 60 willingly
for he had read Of their curing a case
similar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1905, while l was still
confined to bed. I took several boxes
when l felt . slight change for the bet
ter and had a healthier look. I was
finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
blush color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. 1 took the pills 9
long time and the next spring in May I
could walk around. In June I went to
work although still weak. I kept on
gaining and am now working without
the return of a symptom Of my former
trouble and without losing a days
work. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People absolutely cured me and I
want all fellow sufferers to know OF my
wonderful recovery"

ment which cured this case should have

SYSTEM" which will be sent to every

LITTLE RUTH

of the sink with a pail OF cold water
and a cake OF toilet soap that smells
so nicely. She washes each plate care
fully, rubbing II vigorously with soap
and rinsing IL afterwards. The icy wa
ter bites her little hands.
She piles up the plates, one on top
Of the other, face down on the kitchen
table, and turns the cups upside down,
but there is not room enough for all
But Ruth knows what to do. Every
time a plate is clean she climbs down
from her stool and arranges them all
IN a neat row on the floor, WHICH she
has carefully swept with the big
broom
But It is growing dark and there
are many more dishes Her hands hurt
so much that she feels like crying. but
now only the glasses and silver are
left The pots are very hard to get
clean.
At last she has finished and trips
out OF the kitchen carefully. so as not
to step on any of the china on the
floor She knows from the girl that
it is good TO let 1t run of before wip-
ing it dry.
Ruth sits down in the dining room
near the window on her little stool
She wraps her cold hands in her wooden
petticoat to get them warm Half
asleep, she wonders II there is any
thing else she can do to help mother
She hears a loud noise and a scream
from the kitchen 1t was mother who
screamed
T.. Mother had fallen over the wet
plates. Ruth's little heart beats like
that Of a scared bird. She runs to the
door and hears mother moaning. Moth
er has cut both her hands
The other children come and the
nurse girl
who did it?" they all ask. And
Ruth has to answer.
Are you not ashamed Of YOURSELF"
asks mother, whose hands are tied up
in rags. Don't you think it is hard
enough for me anyway
Ruth sits huddled up on her stool
There is something inside her that
hurts. 1t is something she dOesf not
understand. But she does not cry

huge cement mill was erected at the
dam site and the construction began.
After many vexatious delays the last
stone was laid on February 8, 1911. and
the dam was dedicated by Theodore
Roosevelt. on the 18th Of March follow
ing.
The dam began to be of use in ex-
tending the area OF irrigation in the
summer of 1910. The water stored
during the preceding winter saved the
crops that summer which otherwise
would have persisted. as the weather
was unusually dry. This, the first ef-
fective work Of the dam. was worth
more than a million dollars to the
farmers Of the valley. In that year
$4,000 acres were cultivated, OF which
all but 49, 600 received the benefit of
the stored water. On account Of the
dry weather the storage reservoir did
not fill rapidly, and at the first OF last
year 1t held in storage only about 66
feet Of water, in depth amounting TO
less than 10000 acre feet. BY the 1st
of January Of this year the water was
more than $50 feet deep in the reser-
Toir, and there was $50, 900 acre feet
Of water in the lake When the water
reaches the depth OF 220 feet, the max
imum capacity Of the dam, II will i'm

ter acre feet, or enough water 10 cover

This will be sufficient to irrigate prop

Included in the reservoir district are
240, 900 acres, and the government in
tends ultimately to irrigate the remain
ing $4,000 by using pumping plants to
raise the water Of the underground
flow in the valley. Cheap power for
the operation OF these pumps will be
furnished by the hydro-electrtc plant
