What Building Up the Blood Did For
New Hampshire Woman Who
Had Lost Hope

There are thousands Of people who
are enduring the pain and discomfort
of minor ills in the hopeful belief that
the indisposition is only temporary
and will be outgrown in time. Often
such illnesses are not serious enough
to require the attention of doctor
but will respond to intelligent home
treatment if a reliable remedy is used.
Women busy with multitude Of
household cares are especially apt to
disregard warnings Of serious illness.
This is particularly true of women
who exhibit the early symptoms Of
anemia or thin blood. because the
disease comes on so gradually.
Anemia need not be serious if
prompt. effective measures are taken
to check it in the incipient stage. DR..
Williams Pink Pills will restore the
elements needed to bring the blood
back to strength and once the blood
regains it's quality the entire body
will benefit.
Mrs. George Chaplin. of No. az Pearl
street, Claremont, n. H., found relief
from anemia by using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. She says:
Il was in general run down con-
dition due to anemia. There were
times when l became so weak that
could not do my work and my nerves
were so unstrung that little things
would upset me. l couldn't walk up
stairs without stopping to regain my
sAfh C,sSf
there were awful headaches and it
seemed at times as though my head
would burst open. My back was
weak and panied me so that I could
hardly walk.
"a friend, who had been similarly
afflicted, one day told me that she had
been greatly benefited by DR.. Will
thusiastic about the treatment that
decided to try 1t. I felt relief after
taking the first box and continued
using the pills until was completely
restored to health. 1t gives me great
pleasure to recommend DR.. williams
Pink Pills to my friends"

remedy that has been a household

Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system. make the blood
rich and red. strengthen the nerves.

harmful and we would like to have It
decided.
Rep. Maher-You object to a per-

Mr.. Gould stated that he drew the

State Ownership or Control
Ex- Senator Matthew c. Morrill, Of

didn't know that the matter of State
ownership was under discussion.
II see quite 4 change in sentiment
in this matter over two years ago.

Mr.. Morrill, said that his investiga-
ton showed that from 10 to IL places

ready to take electricity for light and
in many places for both light and
power He put this proposition up
to the officials of the power COM
pany, but they answered that copper
was so high they could not afford to
make the extension. They added
that sometime they might do it. We
then made a proposition to the COM
pany that if they would deliver the
poles at convenient points We would
make the distribution for them. They
would not accept this proposition.
j He said that the matter was taken
I'D with the Public Utilities Commits
sion. which was asked how many pa :
irons should be necessary per mile to
secure the extension and were told
that six were enough. This was much

London. Sept. 12.-Mutt and Jeff
haYe had narrow escape at the
hanAs Of the customs authorities in
New york, of being classed, as. old
masters and forced to pay customs
duty to appear in, pictorial sense in
their native habitat
When their sponsor. Bud Fisher.
came to England to launch them on
an English career he also decided to
show the folks at home what Mutt
and Jeff were doing in Britain
Suddenly there came word thru the
American consulate in London that
some art expert in the custom house
in New York wanted to know why
duty shouldn't be paid on Mutt and
Jeff-whether they were attempting
to break into the United States as art
objects or dry goods.
Then Bud Fisher went to the con-
sulate to testify in their behalf. Ger
tainly they're works of art" he said.
and added that, being an American
artist, he had a right to send Mutt
and Jeff home without any duty
charge.
Meanwhile Mutt and Jeff have been
able to hurdle their way into America
without further interference.

First Evidence of Boosted
Prices for Fair Week.
PAID S4 FOR A SHARE ROOM
Regular Rate at Victoria Was
Only 81 a Night.
Doing Something for VISITORS ,
Clerk Asserted.

Because they wanted to do some
thing for the fair visitors" the Vic
toria hotel management was today de-
clared to have boosted room rates 800
per cent. The hotels desire to do
something" hit the state of Kansas to-
day when w. NJ. Morse. a state labor
department employe came to the state
house with a receipt for room rental
under fair week rates.
For several years Morse has made
his headquarters at the Victoria while
in Topeka. He has always paid 81 a
night for room. This week Morse
came to Topeka and asked for a room.
He was told he could be taken care
of If he was willing to share his room
with another party. Morse and a sec
ond man shared the same room and
the same bed.
the lobby of the hotel when he heard
conversation that indicated pro-
fiteering. He walked over to the
clerks desk and inquired the price Of
his room.
-Four dollars a night" said the af-
fable clerk.
But I am sharing the room with
another man and only paid 81 a night
when occupied the room alone" pro-
tested Morse.
do Something For Visitors"
IT can't help it," Morse today quoted
the clerk as saying. This is fair
week and we've got to do something
for the visitors"
Il am certain" Morse said, "the
clerk meant to say to instead of for
the visitors" But the two men paid
their room rent-$8 for two nights
and hunted other sleeping quarters.
At the state house this morning
Morse turned his receipt over to John
H. Crawford, state labor commissioners
and his chief Incidentally Crawford
Is associated with Clyde NJ. Reed and
James A. Kimball on the state prof
iteering commission.
No formal action has as yet been
taken. But members of the board
have declared they will lend their sup
port to any movement which tends to
discourage fair week profiteering in
Topeka. And r. ]. Hopkins. attorney
general, has Indicated that he is quite
ready and willing to send a subpoena
for any person suspected of profiteer-
ing.
The receipt which Morse exhibited
to his. employer and to ~. A. Turner
assistant state auditor, was signed by
Mrs 4. L. Pendry.
Only Case This Week.
This is the first direct case of fair
week profiteering brought to the at
tention of state officials. Far from
the fine example set by Topeka citizens
in caring for thousands of visitors
the case of the Victoria hotel Is an ex-
ception and not rule. Contrasted
with the one case of profiteering iT
room rentals. was the example oi
scores of Topekans who generously
opened their homes that visitors might
receive every possible degree of hospi'
tality and entertainment while guest:
