BLOOD FOR BAD Rheumatism and Other Blood Dis eases arc Cured by Dr. Williams' Pfnk PlUs. "In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my olbdws pressed against rock wall.s , in dampness and extremes of cold , " said Mr. , T. G. Meulcel , of 2975 Jackson avenue , Dubuque , Iowa , in de scribing his experieube to a reporter , "and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For throe year.s I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles , knees and elbows. My ankles and knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk on uneven ground and a little pressure from a stono under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was ofcen obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similarly troubled were getting no relief from doctors and I did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yatef , of the Khmer Manufacturing Co. . of Dubuqne , who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People , the remedy he had used. In three or four weeks after beginning to use the pills , I was much better and in three mouths I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared , I could work steadily and for-eight years I have had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe iu Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. Wo consider them a household remedy that we are sure about. " What Dr.Williams Pink Pills did for Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds of others. Every dose sends galloping through the veins , pure , strong , rich , red blood that strikes straight at the cause of all ill health. The new blood restores regularity , aud braces all the organs for thoir special taste.

GOING FAR FOR PURE WATER. . o Anuclea Proposes to Go 240 Miles Away for Supply. A notable waterworks project is proposed by Los Angeles , Cal. , for a better supply of water. Never before so far as we know , has an American city proposed to go so far afield (24Q ( miles ) for water , and with the excep tion of the pipe line for the supply oi the Coolgardie gold fields of western Australia we do not know of so long a water supply conduit anywhere in the world. The Coolgardit pipe line is only thirty inches in diameter , but it Ss about 330 miles in length. Instead of being a gravity line water is pumped through it to an elevation of 1,313 feet. This lift is distributed between nino pumping stations , and the nominal daily capacity of the conduit and pumps is 0,000,000 gallons. The causes for going so far for water In western Australia aud in Cal ifornia are in some respects similar , but differ materially in that at Log Angeles there is a highly developed and prosperous community instead oi a series of gold-mining camps. Foi years Los Angeles has obtained close at hand water enough to supply ita most pressing needs at least , but ita future and that of both town , and coun try around it depend upon a large in crease in the water supply. The no by sources are not sufficient for me prospective wants of the city and its suburbs , and are more than needed for irrigation. If the future of the city will warant so large an outlay , and that future certainly looks bright , then Los Angeles is to be congratulated on having at least solved a water problem which has been more perplexing and serious than outsiders have suspected and than most of its own citizens even yet fully realize. j x _ , . | Another Labor Union.

" It la a Danprerous sis the Tobacco or AVlilsky Heart. "Coffee heart" is common to many coffee users and is liable to send the owner to his or her long home if the drug Is persisted in. You can run : JO or 40 yards and find out if your heart Is troubled. A lady who was once a victim of the "coffee heart" writes from Oregon : "I have been a habitual user of cof fee all my life and have suffered very much in recent years from ailments which I became satis'lied were directly due to the poison in the beverage , such as torpid liver and indigestion , whi'-b In turn made my complexion blotchy and muddy. "Then my heart became affected. It would beat mostN rapidly just after I drank my coffee , and go below nor mal as the coffee effect wore off. Some times my pulse would go as high as 137 beats to the minute. My family were greatly alarmed at my condition and at hist mother persuaded me to be gin the use of Postum Food Coffee. "I gave up the old coffee entirely and absolutely , and made Postum my sole table beverage. This was G months ngo , and all my ills , the indigestion , in active liver and rickety heart action , have passed away , and my complex- Ion has become clear and natural. The Improvement set in very soon after I made the change , just as soon iis the coffee poison had time to work out of my system. "My husband has also been greatly benefited by the use of Postum , and we find that a simple breakfast with Postum , is as satisfying and more strengthening than the old heavier meal we used to have with the other kind of coffee.
