ANAMIA CAN BE CURED Or. Witliame’ Pink Pilla Make New Blood and Strike Straight at the Root of Disease. Ansemia is just the doctor’s name for bloodlessness. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills actually make new blood. They cure anzmia just asfoodcures hunger. They cured Mrs. Thos. J. McGann, of 17 Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N.J.,and they can do as much for any other pale, weak, ailing, bloodless person. “In the spring of 1903 I did my usual house cleaning,” says Mrs. McGann, nd soon afterward I began to have the st terrible headaches.

The manufacture of prepared house paints is the result of the demand on the part of the house-owning public for good, reliable and durable paints, put up in assorted size packages, ready for application. It is reasonable to be- lieve that an honest manufacturer, proper charaeter—iead, zinc, linseed oil and turpentine, combined with the proper tinting colors, these ingredi- ents mixed thoroughly and ground toa uniform fineness—can produce a bet- ter and more durable and satisfactory article of paint than can the average painter, who buys his materials in small quantities, has no facilities to know whether he is getting good, bad or indifferent stuff, and must rely upon the aid of eibow grease and a stick to secure the best mixture, or combination of ingredients, to be ob- tained under such conditions. In the purchase of materials for paint, cheap as well as expensive in- gredients, of course, are in the mar- ket. You can buy cheap clothes or you can buy good clothes. When you buy a cheap suit of clothes, costing from six to ten dollars, you naturally cannot and do not expect it to wear as long, retain its shape as well, or main- tain a neat, natty appearance as you would in case you paid your tailor twenty-five or thirty dollars for making you a good suit of clothes. This rule necessarily holds good in the manu- facture of paints. The honest manu- |facturer buys honest goods and pays | for them, and it must be borne in mind that he must pay a good price for them.. He buys these ingredients in proper proportions, employing for that purpose men of wide experience in the chemistry and manufacture of paints, lives to the study of this science. In marketing a product of this character he charges a fair price, a price which brings him a living profit on his in- vestment. He must do this or get out of business. It is a demonstrated fact that good, honest, durable, strictly pure lead, zinc, linseed oil paint can- not be made to-day as cheaply as it could one year ago. The consumer in order to get a paint of this kind will have to pay not less than $1.50 per gaWon. As a matter of fact he should pay $1.75, but the matter of price in this respect is left to thé judgment of the man who retails the paint. This being an undisputed truth, how In the name of common sense-any per- son possessing even a modicum of plain, every day horse sense can be- lieve that the mail order houses of the country can, or will, furnish them able, that will protect their homes from damage by storms, that will wear culously low prices asked is a ques- tion that we do not believe can be an- swered.

No; but you will find a substance known | to the trade as barytes. You will find ja cheap substitute for carbonate of zinc possibly, some turpentine, more gasoline or naphtha, and a cheap grade of what is known as rosin oil in place of pure linseed oil. | This is the character of the stuff the catalogue people have foisted upon the unsuspecting public, and even at the low prices charged/it will actually cost them twice as much for a period of eight years to keep their houses painted and looking even half-way de- cent as it would in case they used an honest mixed paint, made by a repu- table manufacturer of pure paint.—St. Paul Trade Journal.

W. J. Rouleau, business manager of the St. Paul Trade Journal, filed with Congressman Stevens, for presenta- tion to the postoffice and post roads committee of congress, a petition con- taining the names of a majority of the general merchants, wholesale mer- chants and manufacturers of the Northwest, protesting against the en actment by congress of any form of; parcels post legislation. | The petition, as presented by Mr. Rouleau and filed with the committee, is as follows: “Whereas, there has been recom- menéed for consideration and action by your honorable body, legislation | providing for the consolidation of the third and fourth classes of mail mat- ter, and the transmission of the same at a less cost than now is provided for by law; and, “Whereas, we are profoundly im- | pressed by the knowledge that such | legislation would prove inimical to the | best interests of the people of the United States as a whole and to the retail merchants, wholesale mer- chants, manufacturers and others en- gaged in commercial traffic, particu: larly, and, in our opinion, based upon experience, would work great hardship upon and place the above mentioned interests at great disadvantage in the | pursuit of their business calling ‘by favoring centralized interests in the shipment of merchandise direct to consumers through the mails; now, therefore, “We, the undersigmed, general mer- chants, wholesale dealers and manu facturers of the United States, de hereby humbly petition your honor- able body not to ena.t any law that will au. ‘t of the institution by the governmen: of a parcels post, so call- ed, or any law that will in any way tend to reduce the present cost of the transportation of merchandise through the mails.” The petition is the first to be filed from this section against the parcels | post bill, known as the Henry meas- ure, and is the largest ever filed by | country merchants. Speaking of the results of his trip | to Washington, Mr. Rouleau said: | “While the petition that I filed is the only petition of its kind to be present- ed thus fa is well known that oth- j ers are being circulated in various parts of the United States and that several others will follow the one that the St. Paul Trade Journal has filed. In additign, there is not a member of} | congress who has not received person- | | al letters from his constituents among the merchants, protesting forcibly! | against the proposed Henry bill, andj {in addition resolutions protesting} against the measure have been filed by practically every retail merchants’ association that has held a convention | this year. “The general merchants, wholesai- ers and manufacturers of the country fully realize, however, the great force} that is back of the proposed parcels post legislation, and they are in readi- } ness at any time to bring all the in- | fluence that they have to bear against such legislation. For there is no ques- tion but what if the government un- dertakes to transport merchandise} through the mails at a low carrying + cost, such action soon will cause the | retirement from business of a major- | ity of the retail merchants of the coun- | try, and with them the jobbing inter- } | ests. The business of the country} will be carried on by vast aggregations | | of wealth, centralized in one or more} of the chief distributing centers of the United States, and, as their field is thus increased, they soon will be man- ufacturing their own goods, which will also centralize and monopolize great manufacturing interests of the country. “This is not a pleasant picture to look upon, but it will be the inevitable outcome of the ecnaction in this coun- try of a parcels post law, which will | serve to do away entirely with the recognized method of doing business, | i. e., from the manufacturer to the job- ber, through the jobber to the retailer, ; and from the retailer to the consumer, it being proved that this is the most equitable and most satisfactory way of placing manufactured products in the hauds of the people.’”—St. Paul |} Trade Journal. | cording to the grade.

It is a grand medicine for sick women.” Money cannot buy such testimony as this—merit alone can produce such re- sults, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E.

When women are troubled with ir- regular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearing- down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debili- ty, indigestion, and nervous prostra- tion, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excita- | bility, irritability, nervousness, sleep- lessness, melancholy, ‘‘all-cone” and “want-to-be-left-alone” feelings, bines and hopelessness, they should remem- ber there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement.
