"I have recommended Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills to many people , " said Mrs.
Gossett , " because I have seen such good
results , time after time , right * inmyowii
family. There are three of us who have
no doubt about their merits. We do not
need to take anybody's word on the sub
ject for our own experience has taught us
how well they deserve praise.
" It was just about ten years ago that
I first read about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills , and bought my first box. I was at
that time all run down , weak , nervous
and without ambition. I had been doc
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought I
was going into consumption , as my
mother had died of that disease.
i " Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ,
j I am now alive and hearty. I began to
improve as soon as I began to take them ,
and when I had taken three boxes I was a
well woman. Everyone wonders how I
j keep so well and am able to care for my
home and six children without help.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills explain it.
"My oldest girl's health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous , complained of sharp pains in
her head , would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. I gave some pills to her.
She took only a few boxes , but they cured
her troubles , and cauped her to develop
into a perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
yon see we have all got groat good from
using thorn , and lhar is why we recom
mend them to others. ' *
Mrs. Minnie 3 > . Gossett lives at
Uhrichsville , Ttuc.'ir : iwas Co. , Ohio , and
is well known , fts she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir
teen years. Her story sliovrs that a
medicine which makes the blood sound
j und the nerves strong , overcomes a vari
ety of diseases and should be found in
every house-hold. Dr.Willijims'Pink Pills

CHICAGO DIVORCE JVMLLS CUT
BONDS WHILE YOU WAIT.
Courts Turn Out Decrees by the Hun
dred-Separations Granted in Three
Minutes , the Average Time Being
Only Ten Minutes.
Chicago has justified its pretension to
be the largest hog market , the largest
cattle market , the largest lumber mar
ket , the largest grain market , the largest
packing center and the largest rail
road center in the world ; and now
it seems to be reaching out for the dis
tinction of being the largest divorce
manufacturing city in either hemisphere.
Of the divorces applied for only 2 per
cent-are contested. There are few delays
of the la-vvjfcno long arguments , no rhetor
ical appeals by lawyers. The divorce
laws are constructed to work like a
steam saw and they do so with a direct
ness and expedition which must be
shocking to many.
Saturday , which , is the great default
divorce day of the week , the Illinois laws
can be seen cutting the bonds of mar
riage at the rate of ten minutes to a
marriage , and by the dozen. There ar
usually four courts grinding out divorces
The speed with which husband and
wife are parted is like the flash of the
guillotine. While three witnesses are
generally heard the complainant and
two friends , who tell of the cruelty , of
the desertion or other act alleged against
the absent husband or wife no superflu
ous time is consumed. The judge fre
quently asks the questions himself , to
bring out the salient and necessary
points as quickly as possible. There is
no jury in defaults , and the cases art ?
heard in open court. Sometimes the
jrraiitin of a dec-roe occupies only live or
.six minutes ; sometimes only three min
utes. The average time is ten minutes.
The Illinois law permits divorce for
eight causes , including such as desertion
or habitual drunkenness for two years ,
cruelty , and attempting life of spouse.
Those from other States who may seek
release under Illinois law are require J
to live one year in the commonwealth.
A Four-Months' Record.
That the divorce mills are working
full time is evidenced by the following
figures , covering the past few months. In
the last two weeks in October there were
81 cases hoard and 03 new suits tiled. In
November the cases heard numbered 134 ,
with 70 new suits , lu December 133
cases were heard and Ii3 applications for
separation were recorded. January's
record is If59 cases heard and GS suits
iiled ; and during the lirst three weeks
of February there were GO cases heard
and US new applications in all f > S.
cases heard and L'o-i new suits filed. Ami
the "cases heard' ' might virtually be
written "decrees granted , " for a divorce
decree is not refused in more than one
out of 50 cases brought to trial.
It is women who keep the Chicago
divorce mills grinding , four out of five
suits being brought by the wife. De
spite this fact , one of the most notice
able tilings about the Chicago divorce
courts is the lack of the sentimental ,
the lack of feeling. Sorrow , regret ,
shame , disappointment are not displayed
by the average woman complainant. As
a rule , the woman seeking divorce in
Chicago gives as practical and business
like an exhibition as can be seen in a
court room. She retails the story of her
married life with almost as much uncon
cern as though she were suing a laundry
company and were describing the ruining
of a shirt waist. It is a business propo
sition. The law gives her eight chances
for a divorce , and she's going to land a
decree through one of them. As a rule
both husband and wife punctuate their
evidences with smiles and laughter as
they recount the faults or offenses of the
one from whom release is sought.
But while many of the applicant *
seem to treat the matter as a joke , or
agreeable diversion , there arc , too , tears
and pathos and tragedy. Sobbing and
heartbroken women take the stand to
tell of lives of abuse and degradation
caused by brutes to whom it would seem
that no law should require them to con
tinue united.
They tell of years of wifehood an-1
motherhood during which they have sew
ed or scrubbed or washed to keep bread
in the mouths of little ones and whisky
in the mouth of the father. They tell of
struggles and self-sacrifice on their part ,
year after year , met by kicks , blows ,
curses , attempts to kill or maim.
Husbands , too , tell of sad years of
devotion , generosity , kindness , patience ,
love , ending in the divorce court because
of woman's viciousness. drunkenness , or
depravity. Pathetic cases , however , are
in a minority so great that the general
impression left after hearing hundreds of
trials Ls a memory compounded of busi
ness and joking.
All classes of the community seek the
divorce mills. Lawyers , doctor * , busiues *
men , clergymen , fashionable people , all ;
figure in connection with the eight di
vorce causes , just as do policemen , butch
ers , plumbers , railroad conductors , iron
molders and stock yard laborers. The
body of divorce litigation is , however , re
cruited from the mass of small shopkeep
ers , artisans and manual workers.
A Month of Coatly Fires.
Except February , 1004. when the Bal
timore conflagration took place , Febru
ary of the present year was one of tlio
worst of recent record for the fire insur
ance companies. The compilation of the
New York Journal or Commerce shows
an aggregate fire loss of $23,591,000 ,
compared with $1GOOU,000 in February ,
1903. There were four fires where de-
Btructiveness exceeded $1.000,000 , and
one , at New Orleans , which involved
over $3,000,000.
