WINTER WEAKNESS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the Tonlo That Most People Need for Blood and Nerves. In winter the nir of tho close rooms in which wo spend so much of tho time does not furnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn out tho foul matter in the blood. In the cold season we do not exer cise ns much and the skin and kidneys do not throw off tho waste matter as freely as usual. The system becomes overloaded with poisonous matter, and too feeble to throw it off. Relief can bo bad only through the use of a remedy that will promptly and thoroughly purify and strengthen tho blood, and tho one best adapted for this purpose is tho great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. " They acted like magic in my case," paid Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. !177 Parnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. "I was weak and thin and could not sleep. My stomach and nerves wero out of or der. I can't describe how miserable I really was.l dragged through six months of feebleness, growing weaker nil the time until I finally hadn't strength enough to leave my bed. "Then a glad day came, the day when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They made me feci strong right away. My appetite camo back, I took on flesh und the color returned to my cheeks. Peoplo wondered that these pills did for me what the doctors couldn't do. I took ouly six boxes and then I was perfectly well. If I had not found this wonderful remedy I surely think that I must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that these pills saved my life by the strength which they gave me at a critical mo ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them to others." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no stimulant but give strength that lasts. They may be obtained at any drug store. RUMORED OF ROYALTY. Prince Louis of Battenberg has an other distinction besides that of hav ing paid a dentist SI,OOO for the filling of four teeth. He is a printer and can set up his 1,000 ems in very good time. Princess Ena of Battenberg, who is reported to he engaged to the king of Spain, is the only royal child born in Scotland for more than 300 years— that is, since the birth of Charles I. in 1600. Queen Aanarolo of Madagascar has recently realized a long-cherished am bition by paying a visit to Pari3. "While there she enjoyed the felicity of having her allowance increased from 10,000 to SIO,OOO. Among the celebrations connected with the "name day"of Francis Jo seph, of Austria, is the giving of money to servants long in the service of one family. Eleven women received $05.50 each, and the others $11.50. King Carlos of Portugal, an grtist of considerable ability, usually sends his paintings as gifts. One recently pre sented to the king of Italy is so exe cuted that in one position it represents a sunrise on the sea, but, if turned around, becomes a sunset on the plain. Queen Maud of Norway will need little tuition in the speech of her new realm, for she took to the Danish lan guage with instinctive ease during her girlnood. The differences between the two languages, both in vocabulary and pronunciation, are principally dialec tic. The German errfpress, in addition to Jewels worth $500,000 that are her own private property, has the right to use the splendid collection of gems that belong to the Prussian treasury. The empress is thus able to sometimes appear at court wearing jewelry vaued at $1,250,000. OVER SEA HABIT. Difference on This Side the Water. The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffeo cannot but result In the gravest conditions, in time. Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weakens the organ a little more, and the end is al most a matter of mathematical demon stration. A lady writes from a West ern state: "I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. "A few years ago I began to be af fected by a steadily increasing nerv ousness, which eventually developed Into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, was added asthma in its worst form. My suffer ings from these things can be better imagined than described. "During all tlii.3 time my husband realized more fully than I did that cof fee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop. "Finally it was decided a few months ago to quit the use of uoffee absolute ly, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help roe, but con sented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was de lighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities. "Just so soon as the poison from tlie coffee had time to get out of my sys tem the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asthma. I gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time in years, I enjoy perfect health, and that I owe it all to Pos tum." Name given by l'ostum Co., Baitlo Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. l'ostum Food Coffee contains no drugs of any description whatsoever. WASHINGTON GOSSIP BUDGET OF CURRENT TOPICS FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL. SENATORS DEPEW AND PLATT Both Are Expected to Retire from Public Life at the Close of This Session—Buffalo Jones Pro vides a Feast. mi A ASHIN G T O N.— Jjk B .There is no more pathetic sight in |l J public life to-day W than the struggle } \£\ of Senator Chaun tvwa ~(,y M. Depew, of 112 New York, to S**. niaintai n his former debonair manner and to be Ithe genial, popu jf\B kJs! lar after-dinner orator and man of affairs he has always been. Ho now must put forth a strong effort even to emile, where formerly he threw back his head and laughed with the zest and heartiness of a care-free boy. When he thinks anyone is looking at him he forces a smile and attempts l.is old jauntiness of manner, but when the effort has passed he ages ten years in a minute. He seems to shrink down in his seat, his face becomes gray and the lines of age are plainly drawn. The senator and his relatives deny that he is subject to aphasia, but there nas been unmistakable evidence that this malady has taken hold of him. Grave fears are entertained that its appearance is a sign of physical and mental breaking up. it is well re n embered here that the first indica tion of the collapse of the late Admiral William T. Sampson was his inability to remember names and dates and the use of wrong words to express his iueas. Senator Depew is watched very closely by his niece, Miss Pauld ing, and he has been forced by her to appear in his place in the senate. One bad feature of his condition is his aversion to mingle with his old col leagues. He has conceived the notion that they have lost faith in him, and when he meets an old friend he will glance at him hurriedly, inquiringly and apprehensively until he sees a welcome smile or a kindly glance. Senator Depew feels that his life has run out. He tells his friends that a new era has begun, of which he is not a part. It would be no surprise if he did not remain in the senate longer than this session. Senator Plntt Failing. k V HILE Senator De 'ifjL'- # I' ew gives evi vfp denee of decaying at the top, his col ~ k'ague, Senator A - J Piatt is withered a,l( ' Palsied in everything but his |j||TrrhTf-- brain. Anyone to Bee Mr " Platt v,r " ttially carried into her would wonder how a man in his enfeebled condition could live 21 hours. His shrunken frame, fleshless hands and emaciated limbs show little or no life. He looks as though he did not weight 100 pounds. His brain, how ever, is as active as ever and through hi? indomitable will he keeps at work pnd manages occasionally to get to his seat in the senate chamber. Recently, in conversation with an cid-time friend, he confided to the lat ter that he proposed to retire from the senate after tnis session has closed. He said he did not care to resign now, r.s it would precipitate a fight for his scat, and conditions were not favorable for such a contest in New York at this time. This means that Senator Platt has not yet completed plans for the .election of a man whom he wants to s'icceed him. The only evidence that Mr. Piatt's mind is not as serene as ever is an irritability that he did not formerly show. He is testy at times, and impatient, and short even with his old friends. Like Senator Depew, Mr. Platt be lieves that he has outlived his politi cal generation. In the confidence of hi« home he will talk freely of the in gratitude of the Republican party. He wiil rehearse the battles he has fought lor the party and men whom he has made politically, and the disappoint ments they have brought him. His only desire now he says is to leave pub lic life, retire to his farm in New York state, and spend what may remain of life to him in seclusion and away from the turmoil and care of politics. A New American Meat. A NUMBER of pub i * II Mk " c men ' n Wash- I ington had a rare —" treat a short time ago when their fV-1 were furnished TU* IP! with a new kind !v 'r of meat. The 112 H statesmen par "W* ! 1/ took of ~ri,alo /y J I'f steak and roasts, sP and have pro nounced it the &i,est meat that man ever ale. This tieat was furnished by "Buffalo" Jones, of Arizona, who is known the country over for his efforts to preserve a remnant of the buffaloes, hut more particularly for his breeding of a hy brid known as the catato, which is a cross of ordinary cattle with the buf falo. He had a specimen of this hy brid cattle killed on his ranch and CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1906. tlie moat sent onto Washington, where he distributed it among a number of his friends. Mr. Jones was the first to evolve the idea of crossing the buffalo and the culinary eow, and he is enthusiastic, in his statements of the results of his experiments. The Government, through the department of agricul- ! ture, has been assisting him. The ca talo, as he calls the hybrid, has all the desirable qualities of both classes of its ancestors and those who have par taken of the meat say it has even a finer grain and more delicate flavor than the beef steer of old. During his visit to Washington Mr. Jones gave a lecture on the catalo, and told a large audience all about his pets. He had photographs and mov ing pictures with which to illustrate his talk. While he had frequently dis cussed the wonders of the catalo with hip. friends in Washington, this time he was determined to prove that the animal was no myth. So he produced the carcass of the real animal and dis tributed choice cuts of meat to some senators and representatives, not for getting a generous roast to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who is very much interested in this experiment of Mr. Jones, which it is hoped will give the country an entirely new meat animal. Busy New Congressman. IS TORS at the did his father, that the United States should relinquish its sover eignty over the Philippines and give to that people the right of self-govern ment. Mr. Hoar made no speech on the subject, but with his colleague, Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Fordney, of Michigan, h'e registered his opinion in hu vote. He is, at the same time, like the late senator, an enthusiastic republican, and has made quite a record in his party. Mr. Hoar, being a new member, does not have a committee room of ! his own, and he can-not take his stenographer on the floor, so, as he is a busy man, he keeps his stenographer ' cut in the corridor between two pil- ! lars while he dictates to him a lot of j correspondence. This particular spot j between the pillars has come to be ! known as Mr. Hoar's committee room. ! The Railroad Pass. free railroad ;j passes by most of llli'i' 1 TOißii *' ie ra '' r ° at^s ' n -JOr the country has been the subject fi/mu 0 ' commen t. and V • Wflil nO, en< ' amus c- IN' ||f||l| ment among pub ' ''llX men> Maj.

And 110 ran prove it. The other day he had togo to his home in Pennsylvania, and for the first time in too many years for him to remember exactly, 'he beughf a railroad ticket. He said he v/ent up to the ticket window and as serted his rights as an American cit izen to purchase a ticket. Much to his surprise the gentleman in charge took his money and gave him a ticket in return. The major at once went to the cap itol, and after a number of congress men had assembled in his office to listen to his good stories and smoke his good cigars, the major determined io give them ocular proof that he was a free and independent American cit izen who could pay his own way. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am no cor poration controlled creature. The railroads cannot buy me with a paltry pass. I have paid good honest mo-ney for a first-class ticket and if you don't believe me, there it is." The major reached into his pocket to pull out his ticket, but a look of surprise came over his face when he did not find the little piece of card board; then he looked all through his clothes and his poeketbook, but no railroad ticket appeared. "There," he said. "I knew that nothing but evil would come from this unjust ruling of the railroads. 1 never lost a rail road pass in my life, and hero the first rt.ilroad ticket I have bought in a great number of years 1 lose iu an j hour after I leave the office." The roar of laughter that greeted j the major's predicament indicated | tr.at the joke was on him, but a few j minutes later an employe of the ser- j geant-at-arms' office came in with the j ticket, which he had found. Its res- i tcration, however, did not persuade the major that the abolition of the j passes was a good thing, especially ! when tickets are so easy to lose. An Epitaph.
