SEMIMONTHLY Pl*
HOLDING INTEREST
Some People at Capitol Said to Be
Willing to Remain on a
Monthly Basis
None of the bills
in the hands of the
Governor save the
general appropri
ation bill Is of
greater interest to
the Capitol than the
semimonthly pay
bill, which was an
nounced on Satur
day as approved by
Governor Bru m -
ibaugh. This bill af-
fects over 1.100 persons and means
that every one who desires can be paid
twice a month. The paydays will be
the Ist and the 15th and It will mean
just double the checks that are now
made out provided everyone wants
semimonthly pay.
The pay system at the Capitol has
been on a monthly basis from time
immemorial as far as the "Hill" B°® s -
The Governor and some of the chief
officials used to draw their pay quar
terly. but most of them have gone on
the monthly basis, less than half a
dozen preferring quarterly payments.
In days gone by the 15th of the
month used to be payday. Then it
was moved up to the 20th, and when
Robert K. Young came in he made It
the 25th.
It is believed a good many people
will prefer to remain on a monthly
basis.

THE PAIN OF NEURALGIA
People think of neuralgia as a pain
in the head or face, but neuralgia may
affect any nerve of the body. Different
names are given to It when It affects
certain nerves. Thus neuralgia of the
sciatic nerve Is called sciatica, but the
character of the pain and the nature
of the disease is the same, the cause is
the same .and the remedy, to be effect
ive. must be the same.
The pain of neuralgia is caused by
starved nerves. The blood, which nor
mally carries nourishment to the
nerves, for some reason no longer does
so and the pain that you feel is the
cry of the nerves for food. The reason
why the blood fails to properly nourish
the nerves is often because the blood
Itself is weak and thin.
Anemia, or thin blood, is the most
common cause of neuralgia. Build up
the thin blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and you are attacking neuralgia
at its root. These tonic pills also have
a peculiar and direct action on the
nerves so that they are probably the
very best possible remedy for the treat
ment of neuralgia.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Get a box to-day and write

Sure Way To
Reduce Cost of Living
Your coal bill is a large item of
expense.
In a year it amounts to quite a sum.
Get all last year's bills together and see
what they total.
Why not reduce this large item of ex
pense?
Prices of all anthracite coal, except Pea
and Buckwheat, are 50c per ton lower this
month than they will be next Fall.
On 20,000 lbs. of coal makes it a good
sized sum.
And besides you get better coal at this
time of year than you do in winter when
the mines are rushed with orders. t
