YOU CAN HAVE PINK CHEEKS

What causes the color to fade from pink cheeks and red ips?. In a.word it is thin blood.
 When the fading color in cheeks and lips is accompanied by loss of bright ness in the eyes and an increasirxg heaviness in the step, the cause is to Ge sought in the state of the blood.
 A hundred causes may contribute to the condition of thin blood that is known as anemia. Overwork, lack of outdoor exercise, insufficient rest and nleep, improper diet, these are few of them. The important thing is to re- ntore the blood to normal, to build it up so that the color will return to cheeks and lips.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the great blood builder and invigorator. They be- gin at once to increase the red corpus cles in the blood and the new blood car ries strength and health to every part of the body. Appetite increases, diges-- tion becomes more perfect, energy and ambition return.
 A booklet, "Building Up the Blood,' will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. if you mention this paper. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes S2.5O.

A third man, also said to have been one of those who attacked the detectives, was thrown down a flight of stairs and received a fracture of the skull.
 The house in Dean street had been under surveillance for week. Yester- day afternoon the raiding squad, con- sisting of Detectives CantWeu and Dunsate of the vice squad and detail of policemen from the Atlantic avenue station, forced their way through the front door and ascending the stairs to another door on the second floor, be- hind which the suspected gamblers were assembled.

 The detectives drew their reVolVers and ordered the men to surrender whereupon it was alleged, several shots were fired by persons in the rear of the room Interpreting this as an attack upon them, the two detectives returned the fire, shooting polnt-blank at the persons blocking the doorway. All but the three men at once retreat ed into the room.
