4 NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC

Debility is a loss of vitality, not affect
ing any one part of the body particularly
but thesystem generally. It's dangerous
because it reduces the body's resistance
to disease.
When debility follows acute disease
convalescence is slow and the strength
does not return as it should. An attack
OF the grip often results in debility thaC
persists for months. Everybody recog~
nizes that the remedy for debility ia to
build up the blood because the blood
goes to every part OF the body and an inn
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system. The prob
lem in every case is to find something
that will enrich the blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills suit most peo-
ple's need because they are non-alcoholic
and they really build up the blood and
strengthen the nerves. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are useful for growing children
and for men and women whose nervous
energy has been overdrawn. They are
certainly worthy of trial in every case
of weak nerves and thin blood.
Your druggist sells DIR. Williams Pink
Pills or they will be sent by mail, post :
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per
box, six boxes 81. so by the DR.. Williams

A QUICK, SURE WAY
TO END CATARRH
Air Passages of Nose and Throat
just One Way to Drive Them Out

To stop catarrh for good you must
drive from your system the germs that
cause catarrh and that are now feed
ing and growing fat upon the swollen
inflamed mucous membranes of your
nose and throat.
A splendid means of destroying ca
tarrh germs and overcoming catarrh
has long been recognized in the we'll
known oil of Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me) and it is now a very
simple matter for any catarrh sufferer
to use 1t with splendid results at home
by breathing its air through a little
hard rubber inhaling device which
leading druggists are supplying with
pour few drops Of the oil of Hyomei
into this inhaler, place it between
your lips and then breathe naturally
and the pleasant smelling antiseptic
germ killing air will penetrate deep
down into every fold and crevice of
your raw, sore nose, throat and lungs
and give you quick certain relief,
opening up the air passages, making
you breathe easily, stopping the in
fiammation and discharge and driv-
ing from your system every catarrh
germ that has found Judgement there.
If you want to be free from every
symptom of catarrh, are tired of try
ing one thing after another without
benefit go to II. G. Kennedy or any
other reliable drug store hereabouts
and get a complete Hyomei inhaler
outfit, use it every day for few
minutes and if 1t does not drive the
catarrh germs out of your system and
give you lasting relief from catarrh
your druggists will give you your
money back.

proXimately S30,000,000.
Referring TO the successful fiscal
year, President Samuel Rea says:
War Is Big Help
The war and increased freight and
passenger tariffs were helpful in MAX
ing up the record breaking earnings.
while the increase in your freight
revenues, principally in the merchan-
disc traffic, can be attributed largely
to the transportation of supplies for
Europe. the advance of approximately
per cent. in certain merchandise
freight rates, referred to in the last
annual report. which became effective
in the early part of 1915, was also
helpful. So far as can be estimated,
the advance in these freight rates in
creased the total freight revenues 2.96
per cent.
Passenger revenue decreased less
than ] ner cent. This traffic was
affected by the general business de-
preston in the early part of the year,
but later it showed improvement. In

Proposed Pension Increase
Would Give Veterans Over
20 Years More Money
Special TO the Telegraph

Washington, d. c., March 1.-Pen-
sions or not less than $40 a month for
all Union Civil War Veterans seventy
years old or more and eligible for the
pension roll are proposed in bill
favorably reported to the House yes
terday.
The measure also would increase
from s12 to $40 the pension of every
widow who was the lawful wife of a
soldier during his service in the Civil
War; restore to their former pension
able status widows of Civil War SOL
diers dropped from the rolls because
of their marriage to other persons and
who are again widows or divorced on
their own application, and amend by
making the date 1905 the act of 1890,
providing that women who married
Civil War Veterans after that date
should not be entitled to pensions
upon becoming widows.
No official estimate of the amount
the bill would add to pension appro-
priations has been made, but the total
would be some millions of dollars.

Negro Segregation Is
Adopted by St. Louis
SbeciaL to the Telegraph

st. Louis, March 1.-St. Louis voted
three to one for negro segregation,
adopting two ordinances after the
Board of Aldermen refused to heed
initiative petitions calling upon it to
pass the ordinances. The vote for
segregation was 52,220, and 1876
against it.
The two bills voted on were submit
ted by petition under the initiative
clause of the city charter. One pro-
vides that negroes shall not move
into blocks occupied wholly by white
persons or that white persons shall
not move into blocks occupied wholly
by negroes.
The other provides that negroes
shall not move into blocks in which
T5 per cent. of the houses are occu-
pied by whites, or that white persons
shall not move into blocks in which
rs per cent. of the houses are occu-
pied by negroes

A Prominent
Architect Says:

"The amount of lumber
which it is necessary to
reject, as not being of
specified quality, varies
directly as to the reputa-
ton of the mills and the
dealer. Some mills al
ways furnish satisfactory
material and others to the
contrary"
From our vast ex-
perience in buying lum-
Der, we have been able to
locate mills from which
we always get dependable
material
Also, we have never
had anyone question the
quality of the lumber we
furnished. Where No. l
quality has been ordered
that is the only kind we
deliver.

creases in certain passenger rates Off
set the reduction in traffic to some
extent
President Rea takes a broad stand
on the proposed congressional inquiry
into the transportation problem. He
says that while public regulation has
served many useful purposes, there
has been a notable lack of a definite
business policy and of cooperation
between the Federal and State govern
ments. all of which has been costly to
the carriers and has retarded railroad
expansion.
No Time for Complaint
However, continues President Rea,
"the time for complaint and destruct-
i've criticism has passed. and through
this inquiry an opportunity is pre-
sented for formulating a constructive
policy and insuring equitable treat
ment for the railroads. which will be
sustained by public opinion, realizing
that the railroads are a very essential
factor in creating and continuing ma
tional prosperity. Then their owners
