PEOPLE WITH Thin BLOOD

Some people have a tendency to bel
come thin-blooded just as others have an
inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to
nervous disorders. The condition I'M
which the blood becomes so thin that the
whole body suffers comes on so gradually
and stealthily that anyone with natural
disposition in that direction should watch
the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness,
or anemia, as the medical term is, can
be corrected much more easily in the
earlier stages than later. It begins with,
tired feeling that rest does not over.
come, the complexion becomes pale, and,
breathlessness on slight exertion, such as
going up stairs, is noticed.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are home
remedy that has been most successful I'M
the treatment of diseases caused by thin
blood With pure air and wholesome
food these blood-making pills afford the
correct treatment when the symptoms
described are noticed. A former sufferer
from anamia says: 81 was emaciated
and did not have particle of color. l
had severe headaches, had no ambition
and could just drag around" DR.. Will
liamHs' Pink Pills quickly restored appetite,
flesh and health. A full statement of
this case with directions regarding diet
will be found in the booklet, Building
Up the Blood" sent free by the DIR. Viii

THE DISAPPOINTING DOLOMITES.

Writing of her recent motor-trip
through the Dolomites in Harper's
Magazine for August, Louise Closer
Hale tells amusingly of her disappoint-
ment in finding the mountains quite
unlike the gay pictures on the brilliantly
colored postal cards.
"The illustrator took hand from the
wheel to wave toward them with all the
enthusiasm of personal discovery. Gaz-
ing at them, Rabby and dwelt bitterly
on the fasle prophecies of colored postal
cards. Nature has been referred to as
lavish creature, but her tints are pale as
compared to the glowing replicas on the
cartes postales.
Madame, where is the red on your
cheeks p So Bonaparte once admonished
a court lady, accustomed as he was to
Josephine's rouge-spots. And Noun
tains, why aren't you pink p we severe
ly apostrophized the soft blue peaks.
"Our driver glared back at US fleeing.
He possesses a maddening quality OF
adopting as his own the country through
which he is passing, and resents reflection
upon its appearance or character as
slight that embodies him. They are

the way you squint.
81 reflected upon this, then, and many
times during the next few days of frantic
pass-climbing into which had been
cunningly lured. Squirting couleur de

philosophy, and have no doubt that he
squinted himself into believing all the
sophistries which he propounded daily to
tease me through the lengths and heights
and depths of Tyrol."

THE HIGHWAY LAW.

The new Maine highway law passed
the last legislature is non-partisan
measure. The law provides for per-
fected highway system of the most ap-
proved and satisfactory kind, and was
painstakingly drafted after consultation
with the best engineers in America, rep
resentatives of the automobile associa-
tons, representatives of the Patrons of
Husbandry, and all others vitality inter.
ested. The plan is essentially that of
old Rome, whose road system has never
been surpassed nor even equalled, and
follows closely the adopted systems of
modern Germany and England. The work
now being planned and contracted for in
all the counties in Maine is being carried
on under the provisions of this law, the
law of the people which was approved
by the legislature and passed as nom
partisan measure. The system is COM
plicated and it is not possible to under
stand it without careful study and for
that reason Democrats unfriendly to the
administration are attempting to arouse
jealousies through this law and its opera
tons. Remember the law is one of the
best laws of your State, one of your
laws. When you hear man knocking
the laws, ask him who his authority is
and you will find he knows nothing about
it.

HOT WEATHER RULES.
g. Load lightly, and drive slowly.
/. Stop in the shade if possible.


3. Water your horse as often az pos
sible. So long as a horse is working,
water in moderate quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only few
swallows if he is going to stand still.
Do not fail to water him at night after
he has eaten his hay.
4. When he comes in after work,
sponge off the harness marks and sweat,
his eyes, his nose and mouth, and the
dock. Wash his feet but not his legs.
5. If the thermometer is Is degrees
or higher, wipe him all over with wet
sponge. Use vinegar if possible. Do
not turn the hose on him.
6. Saturday night, give bran mash,
cold; and add q tablespoonful of salt
petre.
7. Do not use horse-hat, unless it is
a canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell
shaped hat does more harm than good.
s. A sponge on top of the head, or
even cloth, is good if kept wet. If dry.
is worse than nothing.
g. If the horse is overcome by heat,
get him into the shade, remove harness
and bride, wash out his mouth, sponge
him all over, shower his legs and give
him four ounces of aromatic spirits of
ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits
of nitre, in pint of water; or give him
a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at
once, using cold water, or, if necessary,
chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth.
10. If the horse is off his feed, try
him with two quarts of oats mixed with
bran, and a little water; and add little
salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal
Cruel or barley water to drink.
II. Watch your horse. If he stops
sweating suddenly, or if he brcathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop, or
if he stands with his legs braced side
ways, he is in danger of heat or sun
stroke and needs attention at once.
IL. If it is so hot that the horse
sweats in the stable at night, tie him
outside Unless he cools off during the
night, he cannot we'll stand the next days
heat.
These rules are prepared by the Bos-
ton Work Horse Relief Association,
whose office is at Is Beacon street, Bos-
ton, Mass Copies of the rules will be
sent free on application. Our office is
open throughout the year.
