mission, appointed last Spring by Gov

record as being opposed to Federal con
trol of fishertes In the State of Wash

and the members unanimously voted
opposition to Federal control. A heated
discussion of the subject preceded the
presentation of the motion, the mem
bers of the Commission maintaining that
the state was fully capable of control
ing Its fisheries wlfbout Federal Inter
ference. Another sensation was caused this aft
ernoon when John Crawford. State Su
perintendent of Hatcheries, declared that
the preservation of salmon In the waters
of the Columbia and other rivers in the
state demand that the close-season law
on trout in all salmon-bearing rivers
be repealed.
Crawford declared that the trout de
stroyed more salmon than all other
agencies combined and declared that if
the salmon were to be preserved trout
must be exterminated in all streams in
which salmon spawn.

today H. S. McGowan was elected presi
dent and Miller Freeman secretary of
the Commission. Open sessions of the

An Erie Pastor's Wife Tells How
She Overcame a Trouble
. During Her Girlhood.
What angnmia is, how to recognize it
and the value of the tonic treatment
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should
be known by the mother of every grow
ing girl.
Amentia, is simply lack of blood.
It is one of the most common and
dangerous diseases with which growing
girls suffer.
It is common because the blood so
often becomes impoverished during de
velopment, when girls are too frequent
ly allowed to over-study, overwork and
suffer from lack of exercise. It is dan
gerous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being well developed
before its presence 1b recognized, and
because of its tendency to grow so stead
ily worse, if not promptly checked, that
it may run into consumption.
Mrs. E. Wolfe DeWitt, of Reed and
Twenty-third streets, Erie, Pa., the wife
of the pastor of tlte Second Baptist
church, suffered with aumia for two
or three years before she heard of Dr.
"Williams' Pink Pills, and waa cured by
their use. . She says:
"When a girl and at the period when
I was growing fast I was in an ansemio
condition and suffered terribly. I was
weak, without ambition and the least
exertion tired me. I had suffocating
spells, severe headaches at the base of
the skull and over one eye. I was al
most bloodless, and my ears were so
transparent you could almost see through
them. I had no appetite and finally
became so weak I had to leave school.
- "I would be faint at times, and the
suffocating spells, the doctor said, were
due to a nervous affection of the heart.
"I began taking Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and only took a few boxes before I
was restored to perfect health. I can
heartily recommend the pills to ail
young girls suffering from ansemia."
Send today for a copy of our "Diseases
of the Blood." It gives further infor
mation about antenna and is free upon
request. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
for sale by all druggists, or will be sent,
postpaid, upon receipt of price, 50 cents
per box; six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Company, Schenec

day. The boy was cutting kindling and
It Is thought the little girl got in the
way of the descending tool. She was
brought here and 11 stiches were taken
In her chin. While the Injury will not
prove fatal, she is disfigured for life.

to take hold of her foot to apply the ap
