BLOOD IS thin AND
NERVES ARE WEAK
Resident Of Massachusetts Tells How
She Built Up Her System After
Many Tonies Had Failed

Acute diseases such as influenza
and pneumonia almost invariably
leave the system in a badly debilitat-
ed condition, the blood thin. the
nerves weak and the digestion dis
ordered.
Many sufferers who have passed
through the acute stages Of these dis
eases and especially the form of grip
known as Spanish influenza continue
to lose weight and strength. Ordi-
nary tonics seem to have little value
in correcting this debility and the
victim is in danger of becoming a
chronic invalid. That the debility
and neurasthenia following these
acute diseases can be overcome is
shown by the statement Of Mrs.
Myrtle Landers OF No. Plummer
street, Haverhill. Mass.
Il had a chill from dampness and
exposure. resulting in pneumonia -
says Mrs. Landers. After the dis
ease was over l lost color, was gen.
orally run down and could not seem
to get any strength. My appetite
was poor and l had no ambition, my
head ached continually and l was
very nervous"
Through friend who spoke high
ly of them l was induced to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills and / had not

tite was better and had good color.

F,libsuter Saved Hundreds Of Mil.
lions

lfSto
As the result of the Republican ef-
fons in the Senate during the last few
President to Immediately again con-
vene Congress, it is likely that sew
tral hundreds of millions Of dollars
Will be saved the taxpayers through
appropriations found unnecessary.
The amount contained in the bills
which failed to reach the signature of
the Chief Executive totalled four and
a half billions of dollars, including
three fourths of billion for the
railway administration. One of these
measures was the naval appropriation
bin, providing for the expenditure OF
1924, 900. 900. The greater portion Of
this, more than s7OO,ooo.O0o, was for
the building program whiq contem-
plated creating a navy for the United
States as large as that Of Great Brit
ain by 1925. This was urged by the
President in Il mysterious cablegram
10 the naval affairs committee Of the
House at the Identical time that he
was urging in Paris a panacea to
prevent all future wars. 1t is likely
that this will be materially cut down
unless something unforeseen should
occur to sartlc the country into the
realization that it should have a
larger navy to adequately protect its
interests on the Pacific ocean.
With peace established the Repub-
leans in both the House and Senate
are of the opinion that the army ap-
preparation bill. carrying eXpendi-
lures of s1.24O. 100000. should be be-
reft of extravagant projects and re-
duced by several hundreds of mil
lions. Unnecessary expense under
the shipping board, as exemplified
during the war at the Hog Island
yards is considered u scandal, and il
is therefore the intention Of Congress
TO pare the sundry civil bill, with ap-
preparations of 1851 100000, which the
administration attempted to jam
through before adjournment.
Charges Of carelessness of the ex-
ecutive branch are being driven home
by the facts in mistake of two bill
lions of dollars made by the War De-
partment. BY request of the Depart
ment. under the act of Feb. %, seven
billions in cash appropriations and
eight billions in contract authorize .
tions were cancelled. This included
s2,s36.o0o,O00 for the quartcrmaster's
department. After the cancellation
had been made it was found by the
War Department that the amount IN
cluded 1929, 100000 absolutely neces-
sary for the transportation of troops
and for supplies, including clothing
and subsistence. This was essential
to bringing the troops home and will
have to be reappropriated soon.
