STARVED MUSCLES
CAUSE LUMBAGO

Pains in the back are very often due
to undernourished muscles. The mus
cles that are used most are generally
those that are first to cry out in pain.
Lumbago and rheumatism are two very
common diseases that attack muscles
that are not getting needed food be-
cause the blood is impoverished.
Treatment that increases the guam
tity and improves the quality OF the
blood will often relieve this suffering.
The result of the use of the right
tonic in case of lulnbago is illustrated
in the case of Mrs. Sarah j. Colvin,
who lives at No. 1877 Center street,
Brewer, Me. When seen recently at her
home, Mrs. Colvin said:
II suffered for two years from lum-
bago following an attack of the grip.
! became very weak and my blood was
thin | had a steady ache in the small
of my back, and it extended down
the muscles of my limbs. | could not
walk any distance and whenever ! sat
down the pain caught me suddenly,
Il had never been much of believ-
er in medicine, but | had heard good
deal about DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
took the opportunity of trying them.
/ did not notice any Improvement un-
til the second box. | took six boxes
altogether. The pains in my back and
limbs are entirely gone, and can
walk as well as ever. gladly recon-
mend DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as they
certainly helped me-"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or direct from the Dir,
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y, at 60 cents per box, postpaid.

The Greatest
Medical Authorities
in the w orld have

made public statements in
which they endorse the val
lie of such ingredients as
are contained in Father
Johns Medicine.
These great physicians say, in
substance, that these ingredi-
ents "are beneficial notably in
wasting diseases and those NAL
aides which are connected with
or have their origin in debilitat-
ing and wasting diseases and
in colds"
To detail here the statements of these
various authorities would require too
much space, but If you desire to see
these statements in more complete
form, write to Father Johns Medicine,
Lowell, Mass, and we will be glad to
give the names of the authorities quot
ed, with brief excerpts from their pub
lie statements.
Father Johns Medicine is a

SENATE PASSES BILL
TO PAY S15,OOO,OOO.
SUB" WAR CLAIMS.
Means a Seventeen Point Jump
In Taxes if Measure Passes
Assembly.

A bill that would compel the
Board OF Estimate TO pay to subway
contractors and others Al least
$4,000, 600 worth OF war cost
claims now held up on the ground
that they are unjustihable. quietly
passed the state Senate last wednes-
day. Sponsors OF the measure hope
II will pass the Assembly in the clos
ing rush OF the session. Although
the bill hits New York City hardest
IL IL 80 cleverly worded, II is said.
that neither Mayor Hyhn nor any
other city ofiicial will ever have an
opportunity to raiso a veto voice
against its adoption.
Ordinarily, ali bills affecting New
York city are sent here for the
Mayors action. II the Mayor fails
to approve a measure II must be
passed by three-fourths vote OF the
Legislature. THIS bill, however, Is a
most sweeping measure, not only
giving to contractors the legal right
to raid the city treasury. but xtend-
ing that privilege 70 every branch Of
the state Government and It's sub-di-
Visions
It has been conservativeiy estl-
mated that II the measure passes the
Assembly and Is slgned by Governor
Smith It will mean collections by con-
tractors all over the State amounting
20 Sb0.OO0,O0O. New York City would
pay more than so per cent.

OF the contractors war claims

the Walters Bill. J. Henry Walters,
aponBor OF the original bill which
Walkers bill amends. Is the Rspub-
lican loader Of the senate.
The walker amendment provides
that III the performance OF any sucn
contract made prior to April s, 1917,
other than a war contract as defined
shall have been required to be pro-
ceeded with or completed during the

The pre-war contract prices which
New York city agreed to give cont
tractors is paid upon the completion
Of work. The St5,0OO,O0O means an
eScem Of the original contract prices
which the contractors sought to saddle
on the city as result OF increased
/ cost Of labor and material. The city
has contended that 1t has no means OF
tractor outside Of labor. The Walker
bill does not take into consideration the
penalties for dehnquencies OF contrac
tors which caused the Jobs to drag I'M
