AFRAID DFPARALYSIS A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED •Y Da WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. •j •J- The Medicine That Makes RlOh, Aid Blood and Performs Wonders as • Tonic for the Nerves. Why are nervous people invariably pale people ? The answer to that question explains Why a remedy tliat acts on the blood mil sore nervous troubles. It explains why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People axe also for nervous people. It is because of the int'mate relation between the red corpuscles in the blood and the health of the nerves. The nervous system receives its nourishment through the blood. Let the blood be­ come thin, weak and colorless and the nerves are starved--the victim is started on the road tliat leads to nervous wreck. Nervous people are pale people--but the pallor comes first. Enrich the blood and the nerves are stimulated and toned np to do their part of the work of the body. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make red blood and transform nervous, irrit­ able, ailing people into strong, energetic, forceful raen and women. Mrs. Harriet E. Porter, of 20 Liberty avenue, South Medford, Mass., says: " I had never been well from child­ hood and a few years ago I began to have dizzy spells. At such times I could Cot walk straight. I was afraid of paralysis and was on the verge of nervous prostration. Then neuralgia set in and affected the side of my face. The pains in my forehead were excru­ ciating and my heart pained me so that . my doctor feared neuralgia of the heart. I tried several different kinds of treat­ ment but they did me no good. " One day my son brought me some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I found that they strengthened my nerves. I took several boxes and felt better in every way. There were no more dizzy attacks, the neuralgia left me and I have been a well woman ever since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invalnable in anemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers and in sick head­ aches, nervousness, neuralgia, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.

PLOT AGAINST MINISTRY" Progressives and Cttast Combine to Insist on Reparation for Attacks r ,,, in Frlscp. , • ,v;: Tokio.--Viscount Tan!, leader of the opposition in the house of peers, and head of the defense of Kumamoto in the Sateuma rebellion, is reported to have said anent the American Ques­ tion: The persecution of the Japanese in San Francisco Is a most wicked act. Should diplomacy fall to bring about a satisfactory solution the only way open to us is an appeal to arms. Our qjind is firmly made up. It is certain that America will yield, for its people are radically commercial In their sen­ timent." P!ct to Stir Up Trouble. Washington.---That the Japanese of the Pacific coast and the progressives, a political party of Japan, have en­ tered into an alliance which has the earmarks of an international conspir­ acy, with the overthrow of the present ministry In Japan and the annulment of the clause in the immigration bill excluding Japanese coolie labor from continental United States as the ulti­ mate objects, was learned authorita­ tively here Sunday. ' The preliminary steps in this scheem, it is said, will be to induce the Tokio government to recall Vis­ count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, and to demand an apology and perhaps an indemnity from this government for the alleged acts of violence against Japanese sub­ jects residing in San Francisco. These facts became known Sunday for the first time when it was learned that T. Takahaehi, representative of the Seattle Japanese society; O. Noda, representative of the San Francisco Japanese society, and K. KowakamI, start representative of the Yuroiu (daily newspaper) of Tokio, came to Washington on April 21 and remained until May 12, during which time they were negotiating with the Japanese ambassador looking to the annulment of the Japanese immigration limita­ tion law. Committee Was in Washington. This delegation failed In Its, purpose and, it is stated, after charging Am­ bassador Aoki with treachery to the Japanese of the Pacific coast and with misrepresenting conditions to his home government, they telegraphed to Ototaka Yamaoka, the personal repre­ sentative of Count Okuma, who was awaiting their report in Seattle, with the request that he communioate with the anti-administration leaders in Tokio. i Yamaoka sailed for Japan on May 14, and It was pointed out Sunday the renewal of the anti-American agita­ tion in the Japanese press has begun since his arrival In Tokio on May 28. It Is also believed here that he prompt­ ed the deputation of progressives to call on Foreign Minister Hayashl for an explanation of the government's "apparent inaction and want of effi­ ciency in the presence of the grave diplomatic questions with the United States." The report which Yamaoka carried to the elder statesmen it Is further be­ lieved here Is responsible for the atti­ tude of the opposition newspapers in urging the concentration of Japanese national efforts toward the settlement of the San Francisco question by forcing an apology from thia govern­ ment. cfeRTXfft RAILWAYS AND Twi POST OFFICE INVOLVED.

The article says: "Thirty-two post office inspectors of the United States, the shrewdest In the service of Uncle Sam, are at work on a case of alleged conspiracy of certain of the railroads with the post office department of the United States. "Four of these inspectors were In Cincinnati Thursday. They are not all still here and, in fact, none of them, us&y be here at this moment, but they are likely to reappear any day. and are to be reinforced when they do return. That they held a conference^ with post -office inspector in charge*; Holmes, at Cincinnati, Is also known. "What railroads are involved in th»t allegations is not stated. In brief, the;" facts are known but the evidence is» not at band. "The order to investigate is said to have gone out from the White House direct "Thus far the search for evklenoe has not yielded much fruit. It is being conducted with great secrecy and the least misstep might cause an upheaval to see who was responsible, "The inquiry has been going oh for months, in fact, since last December. One post office division has charge of the disbursement of $90,000,000 annu­ ally, and enough has been learned in Ihe Investigation to save the United States $2,000,000 a year. The money goes to all the sources of mail re­ ceipts, but the alleged conspiracy, from whatever department, is said to have been with certain railroads. It is in connection with the payments for the handling of the mails. "The inspectors who were in Cin­ cinnati were D. W. Peters, of New York, E. H. Kline, of Indianapolis, A. B. Britton, of Chattanooga, and G. A. Cisler, of Augusta, Oa." E. H. HARRIMAN IS (MM Conclusion Reached at Importan; fsrence* In Whits House. Washington.--That E. H. Harrlman, the railroad magnate.

One of the narrow arches in the gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni­ versity is not exactly symmetrical, al­ though the defect is not noticeable to the casual observer, says the New York Globe. The reason for the wid­ ening of the arch after Its original con­ struction had rise in a somewhat humorous occurrence. One of the early visitors was a remarkably fat man, who found himself wedged into the- arch when he tried to squeeze through and was extricated with diffi­ cult/. The builders, recognizing the possibility of other fat people being numbered among the future visitors, decided to widen the arch, sacrificing symmetry and harmony to practical need, as the pier was so constructed as to bear no loss of width on one of Its sides.
