SICK HEADACHE
Method of Cure That Will In-
terest Every Sufferer.
Made Possible by a New Laxative
Designed to Be Used With the
Tonic Treatment.
Mr. J. H. Crowley, a Minter and
decorator, of Charleston, Mo., relates
the following experience which others
will find of interest:
‘'Through irregular hours for eating
I became afflicted with stomach trouble
a little over a year ago. I would have
bilious attacks lasting for a day at a
time, while my stomach was constantly
out of order. Frequently during the
bilious attacks I would have to vomit.
I had sick headaches, which made me
feel sick all over. My stomach was
sour for days after these headaches and
I would have a great deal of pain
through it. It felt as though my stomach
was on fire and there was a weight in
it. I was troubled some with gas and
was constipated all of the time.
“The doctor treated me for stomach
trouble but gave me only temporary
relief. I became discouraged with his
treatment and began using Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills. My improvement
was noticeable in a few days. I was
soon relieved of the sourness on my
stomach and had no more bilious at
tacks. I continued using the pills until
cured. I have not been troubled with
constipation since No one need suffer
from stomach trouble, if Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills are given a fair trial.’’
As a rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours, sometimes days, in
advance, when the headache is coming
on. This fact makes it possible to use
a laxative, as soon as the approach of
an attack is discovered, to eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent
the attack or in a great measure to mod
erate its severity. A new laxative,
Pinklkts, designed to be used in con
nection with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills,
affords a perfect combination treatment.
We have prepared a pamphlet that
not only describes fully the laxative
tonic treatment of sink headache and
gives specifid directions for the use of
the remedies but contains also much
valuable information regarding diet, ex
ercise and the management of the sick
room during an attack. This pamphlet
will be sent free on request together
with a sample of Pinklets, the little
laxative pills. Write today if you want
to treat your trouble intelligently. A
postal card request will bring <he
pamphlet and the free sample. Ad
dress. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,

STATE INSURANCE
AT COST. HIS IDEA
CHARLES A. INGRAM.
Madison, Wis.. March 7. —The state
of Wisconsin will go Into the insur
ance business if the sheme of Speaker
Charles A. Ingram of the house does
not miscarry. His bill to establish
state insurance comes up this week
and is already receiving much atten
tion. •
The theory is advanced to combat
the growing demand for old age pen
sions. Ingram wants to make it possi
ble for every Wisconsin citizen to ob
tain Insurance at exact cost, the ex
pense of administration to be paid by
the state.
Ingram is a reform politician of the
LaFollette school. He has obtained
admirable results in the legislature by
forcing important measures to the
front first, refusing to assign minor
bills to committees until legislative
action has been taken on big ques
tions.

Chairman Mauermann says the new

"The mayor and finance committee

Didn’t Pass? Cheer Up!
It Isn’t All Your Fault
In American cities this month hun
dreds of thousands of children in the
public schools are grieving because
they failed to pass the midwinter pro
motions. In New York City alone
over 50,000 have just been set back.
In San Antonio there are 3335 who
are feeling. Just now, as if life were
hardly worth the living.
Cheer up, m
That's the message which the Light
has for these unhappy boys and girls.
Teachers and great educators are
just beginning to find out that when
a pupil doesn't pass it Isn’t all his
fault.
Many famous educators are criti
cising the teacher and the entire
school system far more severely than
any boy or girl who didn't piss has
been criticised.
Great minds in the school world
are spending most of their time in
studying the recent discover)’ that
many children don't pass because the
school system is defective.
Not long ago the bureau of muni
cipal research in New York asked
the superintendents of seventy-six
school systems why children failed to
pass. Five years ago most of these
superintendents would have replied:
“Because they were not smart.” But
an answer like that wouldn’t do in
these days of the square deal for the
pupil who didn’t pass.
Forty of these superintendents ad
mitted that the inefficiency of teach
ers or methods was one of the causes
’ of non-promotlon.
Twenty-eight thought that the pu
; pils had too many classes to attend.
Sixteen said that the system of
part-time school was partly responsi
ble.
Pupils in danger of failing received
special advance attention in sixty-six
cities. In Northampton. Mass., for
example. Superintendent Congdon’s
t monthly reports name each child
. who Is not doing “passing work,” give
reasons for failure, and tell what
special effort is made to improve tne
pupil's work, and what has been done
to make the parents acquainted with
the facts.
Fourteen superintendents said that
they had started a new system of
"catch-up classes” for those who
failed.
The relation of health to non-pro
motion is brought out by Superin
tendent Wilson of Decatur, 111., by a
number of questions, such as: "Was
the child in ill health? Was he ham
pered by physical defects? Was he
crowing ranldty. so that his strength
and vitality were all consumed? Was
he with pupils so much younger and
so much different socially that his
failure to adjust to their atmosphere
and spirit handicapped him? Was he ,
with a teacher who was incompatible?:
Was he put at a disadvantage by
changing schools or teachers two or
three times?"
In nine cities the teachers must|
come to the office of the superintend- I
ent and report to him personally the,
reasons for failure to promote.
All of these answers are hopeful.
They mean that, at last, the boy ■
and girl who fail to pass will not be I
put off in a corner to fight out the i
battle alone, but that he or she will
receive special help and attention—
that the day Is near at hand wheh a '
school system will be measured by
the number of non-promotions.

Joseph, Ore., March 7.—vhen Trap
per Moore, a veteran psspector of
Wallowa county, was recenly scouting
in the hills about twenty miles from
Joseph, he stumbled into in opening
in the rocks. In a short unnel near
this opening were skeletols of three
white men and in a mortr near the
pile of bones was free goli, where it
had been for years awaiting a place in
the dust sack of its finder. In a bot
tle alongside cne of the skefctons were
samples of gold-bearing nek and a
dozen feet beyond where tie trapper
discovered the skeletons he found the
entrance to a mammoth cam.
N. E. Brown, who; with lis brother
and the trapper, is among tie few who
have viewed the mysteriius cave,
whites the following:
‘A short distance from tin entrance
Is a series of beautiful waterfalls, boil
ing springs, miniature mud sprngs of
different colors and rooms containing
variegated crystals, stalactites and
stalgmites. On either side of the moldy
path through the cave are several
kinds of mineral with evidences of
free milling gold that has not been
worked for 50 years, 160 feet from the
entrance.
"The three skulls have been crushed
apparently by some blunt Instrument,
prcbably In the hands of Indians. A
portion of the bones are missing, duo
to the work of woodrats, hundreds in
festing the vicinity.
"The vein carrying gold is about six
teen Inches wide. A gold cradle was
found cn the bank of a brook near the
tunnel. The opening to the cave has
been partially filled by rock slides and
can not be seen until withip fifteen
feet.
"Mr. Moore has explored the cave
about 6000 feet from the portal until
intense heat and lack of fresh air
drove him back."
