The Peevish Child Needs a Laxative IS EASIL1REMEDIED Every Dose of Dr. Williams Pink Pills Makes New Blood and Means Renewed Health -And Strength, People who are pale, languid, with slight palpitation of the heart, some difficulty in breathing and a tendency to fatigue are suffering from thin blood. They need only the resolution to take the right treatment and stick to it until cured.

The remedy that can be relied upon is Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. With every dose they make new blood and new blood means health and strength. They stop further progress of the disease and their success aa a blood-builder can be plainly seen after a short trial. The red cheeks, good appetite, increased weight and strength, cheerful disposition and relief from the symptoms, all declare the general improvement in health.

It is pure blood now that is traveling everywhere through the body and the benefit goes on until health is restored. Mrs. F. J. King, of No.

124 Poplar street, Carrick, says: "A few years ago I began to fail in health because of the poor condition of my blood. I was weak and tired out all of the time and sleepy. I had frequent sick headaches and suffered terribly with them. I lost in weight. I was so bine and down-hearted that I felt as though I was never going to be well and strong again.

I couldn't sleep well and had terrible dreams. I was nervous and irritable and couldn't stand still a minute. "My mother advised me to try Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. After I had used the first box, I began to gain.

I used them perhaps longer than I needed to, but continued taking them until I was certain that I was cured." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourishment from the blood, have been found invaluable in a wide'range of diseases of the blood and nerves, 6uch as rheumatism, after-effects of th grip and fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St. Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. The remedy which gave Mrs. King complete health can be obtained at any drug store or direct from the Dr.

Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y. at 50 cents per box six boxes for $2.50. Colorado is a Wonderful Place for Children I don't know any other place where children are so benefited from a few weeks of outdoor life, as are in Colorado.

The summer life out there is about as Ideal as can be imagined, and you can live there nowadays so comfortably, and at such moderate cost. It is easy to go to Colorado, as only one change of cars is necessary, and the trains are so comfortable and modern with their Pullmans and dining cars, and electric lights and patent ventilators, that the trip out and back is really a great part of the pleasure of it all. I would like very much to send you some pamphlets published by our railroad, the Burlington Route." containing maps and pictures, and telling all about the country, the hotels, boarding houses, etc. Will you kindly write a postal will do. and I will send the pamphlets and suggest further arrangements.

BLOOD ER CREATES BIG EXCITEMENT Three Policemen, 200 Hoi Polloi and Reporter Required to Capture "Beast." Time Nine to ten o'clock p. m. Place Pluck's wallpaper store. North Main street. Dramatic persoiiae One badger, said to be the escaped prot.erty of the car-rival company, -7 men and boys of different ages all in the rear of the store, Wiil Pluck in the balcony out of danger directing the plans of attack.

Officers Pound, Wheeler and Price; and 200 of the hoi polloi crowding and scrambling for good positions on sidewalk in front of "store. Will C. Pluck was doing a little work in his store last night after an especially busy day. The front door was open and the warm, balmy brtezes were blowing in. Mr.

Pluck, of a sudden raised his eyes to the door. A movement there had attracted his attention. The movement finally took on form and size and a bushy, bright-eyed something glided along the wall from the front door to the rear. Mr. Pluck was Interested.

Ho called some of his neighbors and they became interested. They did not know what the animal was. for by this time it had been decided that "it" was some kind of an animal. The Herald office was notified, likewise the Decatur police department, and a reporter and the three policemen arrived on the scene at one and the same time. Others managed to squeeze into the room.

The front door was locked, and the hunt was on. Mr. Pluck was sure the animal was in one part of the store behind sonf wall paper. Others In the crowd were eouallv sure it was be- i hind a case. Much poking by sticks was done and "it" was finally located in a different place than had been mentioned by any of the hunters.

All sorts of suggestion were made as to how tne beast should oe capturea for by this time it was called a "beast." Officer Price stayed clear of danger, except to flash his "bull eye in Its face occasionally and "dare" it to come out. A box was secured with the top partly open. This was set down in front of the place where the animal had taken up its quarters. The crowa both inside and outside waited. but ordinary waiting and no action was too slow.

Something must be done rinaiiy someone thought of forming a noose, throwing it over the head of the "beast" and pulling the knot. This was attempted two or three times, but each time the animal pushed the noose orr its bead. He was game, and did not even try to escape. Finally Officer Pound crrabbed the "thing" by its tail and after one or two strenuous attempts at freedom, it allowed itself to be dropped into the box with the gaping mouth. The lid was nailed on.

the "Black Maria" was called, and carried the captive, which by straw vote was decided to be a badger, to police station. The little fellow was two feet long with a tail longer than his body and probably is the property of the carnival company. Sunday night was the first time it had been seen in town, and it nearly scared the life out of some persons sitting in a room on the second floor of the Gebhart block. The door was open and when the badger entered the room the occupants screamed-. The front window was open and the animaUwent through it and jumped to the sidewalk.

Monday night it was seen near the Congregational church, where it took possession of a basement. It was finally persuaded to leave, and its next appearance was in Pluck's store. The badger will be efven to Sutler- intendent Frank Torrence to add to the collection of animals at Falrview park if no one calls for it in the near future. BACCALAUREATE GIVEN IN NIANTIC N'lAXTIC.
