KEEP WHAT YOU GAIN

Most people who have but a small
reserve of strength feel better in sum-
mer than in winter. The vitality
gained during 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 suf-
ficient.
How. then. shall we keep and add to
the reserve of strength that means so
much? BY taking DR.. Williams Pink
pills. the blood and nerve tonic, to
strengthen and sustain the system so
that it can keep all the strength that
IL has gained and gain more. Dr. Will
liams' Pink Pills build up the blood
and enable It to carry nourishment to
every part of the body. Many dis
orders that have proved stubborn for
wears have been reached by this tonic
treatment Try these pills for debility,
nervousness headaches, loss of appe-
tite. sleeplesness, rhumatism, anaemia
or anV other condition caused or ag-
gravated by thin blood and weak
nerves. DR.. Williams Pink Pills con-
tain no harmful ingredients of any
kind. Two pamphlets describing the
action of this remedy on the blood
and nerves will be sent free on request

WILLIAM WILHELM
IS OUT FOR KUNKEL
Prominent Washington Party Man
Supports Him For Su-
preme Court

Pottsville, Pa. Oct. %. - William
Wilhelm. noted lawyer and politician.
is out fiat-footed in support of George
county. for the State Supreme Court.
MIR. Wilhelm's statement has par
tiCrlar significance because he himself
was one of the candidates for nomi-
nation for judge of the Supreme Court
at the primary elections last May.
Mr. Wilhelm is one of the Washing
ton party leaders of the State, one of
the original men in the progressive
movement two years ago, being
elected president 70 the Progressive
League of PENNSYLVANIA and assigned
TO high committee places in the coun-
ellis of the Washington party.
Mr.. Wilhelm is in favor of Judge
Kunkels elevation to the highest
court of the State because of the rec
ord for absolute fairness which that
jurist has made upon the Dauphin
county bench. where he has sat for
eleven years.
There are many reasons why I am
going to vote for Judge Kunkel," said
Mr.. Wilhelm. 1T is we'll understood
that nine-tenths of all Pennsylvanians
were convinced that Judge Kunkel
fearlessly performed his whole duty in
the Capitol graft cases. But what has
appealed and does appeal to me even
more than his faithful work in those
cases is his consistent fairness in pass
ing upon the nomination papers that
came before him in 1910 and 1912"
In this connection Mr.. Wilhelm re-
called the noted battles of the Key
stone party in 1910 and the Washing
ton party in 1912, each of which led
to numerous contests in the Dauphin
county. court over the right to use
party appellations, etc.
MY activities in both those years"
he continued, 'and close personal con-
tact with the leaders who were in
opposition to the Republican party
gave me, in connection with them. a
chance to weigh carefully Judge
kunkel in his official work. He con-
vinced me. and convinced nearly
every one had occasion to speak with
about him, that he was doing his duty
and had no thought of favoring the
| then dominant party, of which he was
| a member.
When exception was raised to our
Pottsville city charter and the matter
was brought before Judge Kunkel for
final determination he could not fail to
know what everyone else knew-that
there were powerful interests lined up
to nullify through pleading of techni-
calities. the will of the people who had
by their votes shown they wanted
Pottsville to he a city But despite
this he proved himself to he jurist in
the decision he finally rendered sus-
tanning the Pottsville city charter"

Appetite Follows
Good Digestion

Nearly everyone lndulges their
appetite and the digestive organs
are abused, resulting in a conges-
tion of poisonous waste that clogs
the bowels and causes much mis-
cry and distress.
The most effective remedy to
correct this condition is the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin. known as DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This is a
natural. pleasant tasting remedy,
gentle yet positive in action, and
quickly relieves indigestion, con-
stipation, sick headache, belching,
etc. Drug stores sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents
and one dollar a bottle, and in
thousands of homes it is the in
dispensable family remedy. For a
free trial bottle write DIR. w. B.
