KEEP WHAT YOU GAIN

Most people who have but q small re-
serve OF strength feel better in summer
than in winter. The vitality gained dur
ing the out-of-door season carries them
through the trying weather OF winter and
early spring until there comes time
when the stored-up reserve strength IS
not sufficient.
How, then, shall we keep and add to the
reserve OF strength that means SO muchf
BY taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, the
blood and nerve tonic, to strengthen and
sustain the system SO that it can keep ail
the strength that it has gained and gam
more. Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up
the blood and enable it to carry noprislt-
ment to every part OF the body. Many
disorders that have proved stubborn for
years have been reached by this tonic
treatment. Try these pills for debilits,
nervousness, headache, loss OF appetite,
sleeplessness, rheumatism, anemia or any
other condition caused or aggravated By
thin blood and weak nerves DIR. VII

describing the action of this remedy on
the blood and nerves will be sent free on

HAMILTON, III. Sept i.-Some'
time early this morning the Hamilton
postofice was entered by yeggs, the
safe blown and haul OF about s2oo
in money and one hundred dollars
worth OF stamps taken from the Of
fee. The craftsmen made their en-
trance into the postofice from the
rear door. from all appearances. and
to be sure they could work in safety.
fastened the Broadway door securely
from the inside.
Postmaster HarsTader found him
self barred from his .ffce when ne
went to the building this morning at
o'clock. On investigation he found
traces of the night visitors The
front door had been fastened on the
inside with drill bit sunk into the
center of the two doors.
The amount in cash secured by the
safe blowers viii not exceed 500,
and OF this amount $50 belongs to the
money order department and the bal
ance was the income for the Last
three days. One hundred dollars IN
stamps was taken, it is figured.
The door of the safe is complete
wreck. Nothing else in the Office Is
injured, giving hint as to the ex-
pertness of the men who blew the
strong box. a charge Of nitroglycerine
was poured into the hole which was
drilled above the combination This
was discharged with telling effect.
Careful Expeetoration.
Another proof that the men were
experts is to be found in the methods
which all indications show they used
in their work. They were careful TO
not spit on the floor, using waste
paper basket while they were at work
over the safe, and a letter drawer
when they were evidently counting
their haul at the desk
No one in Hamilton could recall
seeing any suspicious characters in
the neishborhood yesterday, and 1t Is
possible the yeggs made a flying
visit.
1t developed this morning that Carl
Hopson, night telephone operator,
heard an explosion about 100 o'clock
and tried to locate it, but failed. Per
haps this was the explosion which
wrecked the safe.
The postofice authorities have been
notified, and men from the Chicago
office will be in Hamilton tonight to
investigate the robbery.
