PROCEDURE IS ISSUE A gen t Charges Prosecutor of Re fusing to Invoke Conspiracy I. aw Against Runners. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 1. (Spe cial.) Charges made by Donald A. McDonald, federal prohibition direc tor, now In British Columbia, that United States District Attorney Saun ders "has drawn the teeth of the Vol stead act" have started a war within a war here. Director McDonald Is waging war on rum runners, and is in British Co lumbia to gather information to as sist Saunders, who by virtue of his office is counted the proh'bition di rector's chief supporter. But Director McDonald charges Mr. Saunders has "refused to invoke the conspiracy statute against gangs of whisky runners." File a Opened in Reply. Mr. Saunders has replied by opening the files of his official correspondence in an effort to show that he has of fered Director McDonald all assist ance possible. The two democratic appointees are at loggerheads over the question of legal procedure against the rum runners. Director McDonald pleads for Jail sentences and the conspiracy statute. Attorney Saunders doubts the wisdom of using the conspiracy statute in any but exceptional cases. He favors in voking the national prohibition act by informal information or complaint, which complaint, he says, can later be converted into a conspiracy prosecu tion by indictment before a grand jury. Procedure 1 IOxplained. Mr. Saunders this morninj? showed a letter from Mr. McDonald, dated Tacoraa, November 10, in which the prohibition director declared "there is much merit" in the district attorney's suggestion as to when the conspiracy statute should be invoked in prefer ence to prosecution under the Vol stead or prohibition enforcement act. Mr. Saunders explained that, when proceeding under the enforcement act, informations may be filed direct in the district court and upon convic tions .the automobiles or other ve hicles used in the commission of the offense may be seized, while con spiracy is a felony and complaints must first be filed with the United States commissioners and if further prosecution is desired the facts and circumstances must be submitted to grand juries for indictments before trials are had.

"I was miserable for six months as a result of a general breakdown In my health." says Mrs. William McK. Boyd, of No. 593 West Central avenue. ' St, Paul, Minn. "I was tired all the time, but could not sleep well. My digestion was so poor that I was in distress after eating a meal and the undigested food caused my stomach to bloat. I had severe headaches and when they disappeared my temples were sore. I had smothering spells after trying to do some small house hold task that formerly caused little effort. "When I saw that I viias getting worse all the time, I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which I had read about. At the end of a week's treatment I was able to sleep better and felt a little better in the morn insr. I took the remedy for five weeks and at the end of that -time I was nearly as well as I have ever been. I do not have any stomach trouble now and my food is giving me strength. I very seldom have a headache and no longer have smothering spells. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills helped me and I can certainly recommend them to others In need of a tonic." There are many people who are sick and discouraged but still have no dis ease that justifies the attendance of a family phiysiclan. These people need a tonic. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills en rich the blood, strengthen the nerves, and tone up the entire system. In most cases of general debility they are all the medicine that is needed to restore health.
