MELANCH0L|A IS
OVERCOME BY A
BLOOD BUILDER
A Binghamton Woman Tells
How Her Health Was Re-
stored by Correcting an
- Anemic Condition

Every woman's health is peculiarly
dependent upon the condition of her
blood. How many women suffer with
headache. pain in the back. poor ap-
petite, weak digestion, constant
feeling of WEAKNESS, palpitation of
the heart. shortness of breath, pallor
and nervousness? If you have any of
these symptoms, do not despair of
getting better but begin now, today,
to build up your blood with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. See how the
nervous energy Of the body is re-
stored as the blood becomes pure and
red and the entire system is strength
ened to meet every demand upon it.
Miss S. J. White Of No. So Court
street, Biughamton, N. Y, suffered
from anemia. She says:
Il was very tired all the time and
was SO weak that it was an effort to
sit up straight. I became pale and
my blood was SO thin that was
easily chilled. My stomach was sour
and I was bothered with gas.
"At times 1 was very discouraged
and suffered from melancholia. DR..
Williams Pink Pills were recon-
mended to me and I decided to try
them. BY the time had finished the
first box had more life and energy.
II have taken three boxes in all and
am as strong as ever have been and
do my work with pleasure. AS my
blood has become richer 1 am not
bothered with the chilly feeling. My
stomach is no longer sour, the melan-
cholia has left me and my general
health is good.
Il shall gladly tell my friends Of the
value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills as a
tonic.''
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are useful
for all women but they are particu-
larry valuable to girls of school age
who show symptoms of going into a
decline, who become pale, nervous
and languid. These pills aid in Sc
curing perfect development and
health by Strengthening the system
and purifying and building up the
blood, Thin blood during the grow
ing years Of girls life usually means
a f1at-chested and hollow checked
womanhood. There can be neither
health nor beauty without red blood
which gives brightness to the eyes
and color to cheeks and lips.
In spite of the increased cost Of all
drugs the price of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills has not been changed. Your
own druggist can supply you or you
can order direct from the DR.. Will
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N.
Y, enclosing fifty cents for one box
or $3.50 for six boxes. Write today
for a free copy of the booklet, Build
ing Up the Blood."-Adv.

You boosted the Day. and you toasted
And now the Day has come.
Blasphemer. brasgart. and coward at'

As they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the Day. you lied for the
And woke the Days red spleen.
Then strewed his seas with the CHASTITY

Not all the waters Of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.
You dreamed for the Day. you schemel

Watch how the Day will 60.

Yours is the harvest red.

Can YOU zee the heap of slain that lies.
And, sightless turned to the fiame-spi.t

The CLASSY eyes Of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day, you
have longed for the Day
That lit the awful flame.
IT'S nothing to you that hill and plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain;
That widows mourn for their loved ones
And mothers curse thy name.
But after the Day there's a price to pay
For the sleepers under the sod.
And He you have Knocked for many a

Listen and hear what He has to say:
"Vengeance is mine-I will repay"
What can you say to God?

NATIONAL PARK
OF THE GRAND
CANYON. ARIZONA

Washington, Nov. 3.-Congress
seems at last about to make the
Grand Canyon of Arizona a National
Park. For years the canyon has been
quite generally regarded as a park,
but officially it is section Of two ma
tional forests, game refuge and a
national monument.
1T has never been managed as a
part Of the park system. and has new
| er been susceptible of development
as SUCH" says the House public lands
! committee in reporting favorably a
Senate bill that would dedicate $50
square miles-600, 900 acres-in nor
thern Arizona as the Grand Cam
yon National Park. This magnifi-
cent gorge should now take it's place
as a link in the national park chain
which already includes most of the
nations wonderful and extraordinary
natural features"
1t was thirty-two years ago last
January that the first bill to make the
Grand Canyon a national park was
introduced in the Senate by the late
ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
then senator from Indiana. Since
the. the proposal has been presented
to Congress from time to time.
1T appears that there never has
been a valid objection advanced
| against it," declared Secretary Lane,
in a statement favoring the project.
| Nor can such an objection be urged
| because the Grand Canyon belongs to
| the Federal government and any at
tempt to thwart a change in it's status
which would distinctly rebound to its
advantage. must be by some private
| interest.
Private resources have accom-
plished limited development. Thous-
ands Of tourists visit the Canyon an
nually, but due to the lack Of roads,
trails and side-trip designations the
| throngs have little opportunity to en-
joy in full measure the marvellous
! grandeur Of the region.
Less than 400 of the 5000 acres
| that the proposed legislation would
| place in the park are now in private
| ownership, these being held in small
parcels near the rim. Obviously. the
greater part of the land lies within
the enormous gulf. measuring at
some points 20 miles across the top.
| Sufficient land is to be included back
of the north and south rims to make
possible road development and to
| care for camping and hotel facilities.

Although the labor situation in the
Maine woods is very tense and not
more than half crews can be obtained
for the operations it is much better
than was anticipated at the beginning
of the season. At present between
500 and 600 men week are being
sent into the woods and the produc-
ton for the number of men employed
is much larger than it was under the
old methods.
Hall r. Dearborn, who has charge
Of the U. S. Employment Agency in
Bangor, claims that in the past three
months over 1900 applications for
employment have been handled in
Bangor. The demand for men in the
woods is large and there are calls
filed at the office for about 1900 men
by different numbering concerns.
These requests can not be met be-
cause there are not men available for
the work. Bangor has sent more men
into the woods than any other city
but not anywhere near as many as
in years previous.
