TIRED LOOKING WOMEN

Some women always wear worn,
tired look. 1t is the outward sign oil
nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps,
with It's characteristic symptoms oil
worry headaches and sleeplessness.
ONerwork, grief, undue excitement,
the late hours and nervous strain OF q
strenuous social season, lack OF out-of-
door exercise, any or all OF these may
be responsible for the trouble but the
most common cause at this season OF
the year is the grip.
Whatever the cause, IL you feel the
need OF more strength try the great
non-alcoholic tonic, Or. Williams Pink
Pills. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment
must be directed toward building up the
blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills act
directly on the blood and with proper
regulation OF the diet have proved OF
the greatest benefit in many cases OF
neurasthenia. A tendency TO anemia,
or bloodlessness, shown by most neu.
rasthenic patients, is also corrected by
these tonic pills. Your own druggist
sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills or they
will be sent by mail on receipt OF price,
30 cents per box; six boxes So so.
Write for the free booklet, Diseases
OF the Nervous System" and diet

THE LOSSES ON THE soMNIE.

The figures which are given out by the
official press bureaus of the British and
French armies on the western front may
be depended upon to be fairly accurate
The figures officially reported thus far re-
late TO the number Of prisoners captured
by the combined Anglo French drive
against the German line in the vicinity
of the Somme river, and the total is ap-
proximately $4,000 men, the French sez-
ures slightly leading their ally. As yet
the number of captured men is not suffi-
cient to make any appreciate inroads on
the strength of the German line, in con-
trast to the great captures being record
ed on the eastern side of the central pow
ers by the Russian armies. Austria en-
deavors to discount the reports emanat-
ing from Russian sources concerning the
wholesale seizures of Austrans. and il ia
possible that the Russian reports are
slightly padded. However there is GER
tainty that the Russians have bagged a
great many men because the resistance
of the Austrans has been greatly weak
ened and the Austrians are constantly
falling back or are on the defensive.
