The Tonic Treatment He Recommended
Is Now Endorsed by This
Massachusetts, Woman.

The chief symptom Of rheumatism is
pain The treatment is most successful
that most quickly relieves and banishes
this disagreeable symptom. Many rheu
matte people suffer pains that could be
avoided by building up the blood. When
rheumatism is associated with thin blood
II cannot be corrected until the blood is
built up.
Mrs Peter Fitzner of 10 Holt street,
North Billerica, Mass, used DIR. Williams
Pink Pills 10 combat the attacks OF
rheumatism accompanied by attacks of
Indigestion. This is her experience.
Il was living in Nova Scotia some
years ago and contracted severe cold.
The next day ] was confined TO bed.
Sharp pains started in my right shoulder
and nearly drove me mad. They worked
down to my right knee, which was stiff
and sore and went to my hands. ! could
not sleep and was in terrible pain all
the time My knee WAS swollen.

have terrible pains after eating. Gas

was very nervous. My doctor advised me
to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and as
had heard of boy who had st. Nitus
dance and had been benefited by these
pills was encouraged TO try them. Aft
er | had taken three boxes | was much
better, the pains in my shoulder and
limbs was not so intense. | took several
more boxes and the pains left me. DR..
Williams Pink Pills certainly built up
my blood, and whenever | feel run down
a few boxes always restore my strength,
In no disease does the blood show more
altering and thinning than in rheuma-
tism. No permanent relief is possible
until the blood is restored and the rheu
matte poisons are cast out.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are invaluable |
in diseases of the blood and nerves. They |
have corrected anemia, after effects of
he grip and fevers, general debility and |
,ick headaches, dizziness, nervous pros
ration, and have accomplished wonder
iul results, even in chronic cases.

We don't presume to know

the sentiment of the entire

hearts of the American people.
President Wilson has had no
more consistent critic than
Theodore Roosevelt. Yet when
his adversary is stricken, the
president is among the first to
express solicitude as to his well

WHAT ABOUT 1T.

AS springtime approaches
wouldn't it be well for the bust
ness men, of Paw Paw to COM
mence to consider the ways and
means to improve business con-
ditions, and boost for a bigger
and better Paw Paw? If we
were asked the first step to be
taken in consideration of such a
problem for this community, we
would say, Get a HOTEL, The

the main four corners of the
village an "eye sore" to the COM
munity and the subject of un-
favorable comment among our
neighbors. Several of the office
windows have been broken out,
and the old Dyckman House
which for many years was one
of the best hotels in South
western Michigan, begins to con-
tribute to the appearance of a
Deserted Village" True, Paw
Paw has one hotel. The pro-
prietor undoubtedly does the
best he can, but the place is
invariably crowded to capacity,
and entirely inadequate to sup
ply the needs of the public.
There is room here for two
hotels, and it is a shame and a
pity that the Dyckman remains
closed. We are told that the
place needs many repairs and a
general overhauling, and it
would be nothing strange if
such was the case. If the open
ing of the Dyckman house is
contingent upon certain repairs
and improvements, then some
means should be devised by the
business interests of Paw Paw
to have such improvements
made. improvements and re-

THE movie PEST"

There are many varieties and
breeds of Pest, but about the
most unbearable and tantalizing
of them all is the "Movie Pest.
This Pest is the wise guy who
knows just how the story is
going to end when the film
starts. He not only knows all
about it himself, but insists on
imparting that knowledge to
every person in the theatre with
in the range of his voice. He
knows all about the various
features this actor and that
actress has starred" in and the
relative merits of the different
pictures. This information to,
he imparts for the enlighten-'
ment of those about him.
The "Movie Pest" reads aloud
all the announcements, letters,
explanations, etc. thrown on the
screen in connection with the
picture, and if it were not for an
occasional difficult word which
he is unable to pronounce, there
would be no need for anyone in
his vicinity in the theatre to
read the announcements. They
could simply close their eyes and
listen to the pest" He is not
only wise Guy, but he is a
versatile cuss as well, well post
ed in current events, the fuel
situation and weather forecast.
He is a living encyclopedia of in
formation, ar" finds ample time
during the progress of the show
to conduct a veritable school of
instruction. He laughs and visits
in a loud bOiSterous manner,
utterly regardless of the COM
forts of those about him, a
nuisance and a pest.
For convenience the masculine
gender is used here, but 1t should
be said in passing that the

to be found always among "The

There was a time when the
word farmer" was a symbol oil
dust laden antiquity. Cobwebs,
hayseed and moss were then
supposed to form a considerable
part of his personal adornment,
and he was regarded as an Easy
Mark" by his city cousin. These
were the days oefote the advent
of the telephone and rural mail
carriers. Then the farmer
hitched his horses to the wagon
and drove to town, not other
than once a week, and usually
on a Saturday afternoon. His
wife exchanged the butter and
eggs for groceries and a few
articles of wearing apparel, and
he went to the post office for the
mail. The most important part
of his mail those days was the
New York Weekly Sun" or
"The Toledo Blade" which was
also a weekly. Then on Sunday
he read the paper. "World
Wide, estate Wide," "The Fir
ing Line" "The Farm Depart
ment," and even the columns
that was supposed to be Funny
if he had the time, were all regi-
giously devoured and assimilat-
ed column by column. If resi-
dents in rural communities in
those days were informed of the
important world events before
they were old and stale, it was
because the news had leaked out
from the village and been circu-
lated from mouth to ear.
Those days are past and gone,
The telephone, the rural mail
service and all the other modern
conveniences have changed all
