The TONIC FOR
thin BLOOD.
Every Dose Of Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills Makes New Blood and
Means Renewed Health
And Strength.

PEOPLE who are pale, languid, with
slight palpitation OF the heart, some
difficulty in breathing and q tendency
to fatigue are suffering from thin blood.
They need only the resolution to take
the right treatment and stick to it until
cured. The remedy that can be relied
upon is DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. With every dose they
make new blood and new blood means
health and strength. They stopfurther
progress OF the disease and their sue
cess as a blood builder can be plainly
seen after a short trial. The red cheeks,
good appetite, increased weight and
strength, cheerful disposition and re-
lief from the symptoms. all declare the
general improvement in health. II IS
pure blood now that Is travelling every
where through the body and the bene-
At goes on until health is restored.
Mr.. William A. Newman, OF Sagrada,
Camden county, Mo-, suffered from
thin and disordered blood as result OF
an attack OF the grip. He says: My
head ached continually and was filed
with Kissing and roaring sounds that
were fearfully annoying. My heart
fiuttered and had regular running
spells. My stomach was so sore that
could hardly bear touch on that part
of my body. / had great deal OF pain
in the region OF my liver and the doctor
said that organ was enlarged. Ny head
and my back aehed dresdfully. but
hard az it was 10 stand it / wouldn' +
give up entirely. l dragged myself
about, kept growing worse and finally
ran down TO almost nothing. First l
tried doctor, but he did me no good.
Then I took all kinds OF advertised
preparations but nothing proved help
Jul until / began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them |
knew that had at last hit upon the
right remedy for my case. The very
first box did more for me than any
thing else I had ever taken, wish
had heard OF them long before for they
would have saved me money and sui
fering."
The remedy which gave Mr.. Newman
complete health can be obtained at any
drug store or direct from the DR.. vii.

Woman's Sense Of Honor.

Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
of work, and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable weapons-a lie, tears and
skillfuI appeal to the vanity Of man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth of view and
the truer sense Of honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained when she
herself was student, and which is
still largely that Of women Of her
own age today. An even more strik-
ing fact is that the majority of men
DO not seem to expect as keen sense
of honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely deterrent effect upon the
growth of that sense.-A Woman
Teacher, in London Spectator.

FEUD LEADER KILLED.

One of the most noted fued
leaders in the Big Sandy valley,
Louis Hall, who had boasted of
killing % men, was shot and in
stantly killed at Shelby Gap in
the Pine Mountains yesterday
morning by Constable George
Johnson, and his son, Morgan
Hall, met the same fate a mo-
ment later at the same hands.
People of that section fear a re-
vival of the feud war.
Johnson had a warrant for
Morgan Hall, who was suspected
of operating a blind tiger,
and had dehed detectives to en-
ter his home. Johnston follow
ed Hall out of a store to the
porch, and was in the act of read
ing the warrant, when the elder
Hall, 50 years old rushed out of
his home, a short distance away,
carrying the rifle. on the stock
of which it was his boast he
notched the score of his victims.
Johnson at once opened fire,
shooting first the father and
then the son.

Rear Admiral Washington Lee
Capps is the man who followed this
plan and succeeded. He was chief
constructor of the navy from 1903 to
1907, has since been a member of the
navy board of construction, and is to,
day one of the big figures In that field
OF endeavor. 1t was because of his
thoroughness that he was able few
years ago to furnish proofs to meet
severe criticisms of our naval con
struction. Rear Admiral Capps was
born at Portsmouth, Va, January 81,
1854. He was appointed a cadet en-
gineer in the navy October l, 1880,
and by industry coupled with close
application to the work won promotion
rapidly. In twelve years he had gained
a place in the bureau of construction
and repairs, OF which he became the
head eleven years later. His success
should inspire courage in those who
have not yet reached the top rung in
the ladder Of their desires.
