NEW PLAN IS OUTLINED Ien to Kiwi Three of Employes to Serve on Hoard of Dlrec t tors Pensions Planned. riTTSRmo, Pa.. March 20. (Spe cial.) Four hundred motormen. con ductors and other employes of the Pittsburg, Butler & Harmony Con solidated Railway & Power company, and its subsidiaries, yesterday re ceived a present of $1,000,000 in stock from David I. Md'ahill, president of the company. In addition, they were notified to elect three of their number- to serve on the howid of directors of the com pany, thus gaining a voice in the management of the corporation. At the same time a plan was an nounced whereby veteran employes would receive old age pensions, while dependents of employes who. died in service will receive an income. Sick benefits will also be paid. Ilan In Kxplalnrd. I-Jmplnyes of the company were called together at Butier and told of the president s plan. The plan was explained to the workers as follows One million dollars, face valua. of the common stock of the company i to 'be set aside under a trust agree ment with some bauk or trust com jiany. Certificates representing the f-tock will be issued to the employes. The fund which would result from the accrued dividends will be divided equally among all the employes, so that each employe would be interested in holding down the number of em ployes to as few as possible, because the greater the number the less the amount each would receive. W idona to Urt Itrnef it. In the event an employe dies while in the service of the company, his vidow, during her lifetime and, after her death, any minor children he might have, would be entitled to his share in the fund. The right to vote the common stock remains with Mr. McCahill. but in order that the em ployes might have representation even greater than that which voting power could give them, not less than three employes on the Harmony & Mars railroad will be chosen dire tors, these directors to be selected by the men themselves, according to the rules they may adopt. The plan is to be tried out for five years, and every employe motormen conductors, trackmen, engineers and miners is included. The Pittsburg.

A strong confidence that the eight republican delegates to be chosen at the South Dakota primaries March 23 will be instructed for Leonard Wood, thus adding to significance of his victories in the recent Minnesota elections, was expressed at Leonard Wood headquarters here today. I A review of the South Dakota situation is contained In the state ment issued to the press by William Cooper Proctor, chairman pf the Wood campaign committee, who said: "I am highly gratified with the success ful manner In which the campaign has been conducted by Chairman King with the support of Governor Norbeck. 1 "Some days ago I telegraphed each county manager for a conservative prediction of the results in his own county. On account of weather con ditions which have made wire com munications almost impossible, I have received only 53 responses from 67 counties, but a- careful comparison and estimate based on these reports justify me In stating that Wood will carry South Dakota March 23. Five counties will give Wood a plurality of more than 5000, and the remaining counties, all of which he will carry except five or six bv pluralities of 100 to 500". will make' a total plural ity not far from 15,000 In the state. "The roads are very bad at this time due to a thaw and a breaking up of winter conditions, and the above prediction Is based upon the assump tion that the vote will be very much below normal. If the weather con ditions should change and we should have two or three days of bright cold weather, it is not at all Impossible that this prediction of 15,000 ' based upon a subnormal vote will be raised io 30,000 by a full primary showing. "Other additions to the formidable delegation which will represent Wood In Chicago are anticipated as a re snlt of the Maine convention March 25, the Kansas convention March 31, and the Mississippi convention April 1. as well as the big primary battl in Michigan April 5. All of these will he victories for the Wood or ganlzation, since the effective work of thousands of supporters -all over the country is beginning to show tangible results. I might say in- con elusion that we have only partially gathered in the harvest from seed that we have been sowing." night by the census bureau Included: St. Paul, Minn., 234,595, an Increase of 19,851, or 9.2 per cent over 1910.

Work as Physician and Educator Mentioned Willi Pride by Pres ident of University. .' 1 UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, March 20. (Special.) President P. L. Campbell in a statement yesterday paid tribute to the memory of the late Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie. "The University of Oregon has suf fered an irreparable loss in the death of Dr. Kenneth A. J. Kackenzie, dean of the medical school," he said.' "As physician and surgeon, of national reputation, his name added luster to the acuity of the medical school, and as an executive orticer of nyoad vi sion and untiring energy he has brought the school into the front rank of the standard medical schools of the country. In obtaining a gift from the O.-W. R. R. & N. company, of which he was chief surgeon, of the magnificent campus on which the medical school is at present located, he at once provided for the unlimited material growth of the mcjical school's plant. 'He was also remarkably success ful" in obtaining able men for the faculty. His own high ideals and great optimism inspired every in structor with whom he worked to a 1 realization of their own best abilities in the actual daily work of the class room. He had in mind a broad pro gramme for the future development of the medical school, involving a sys tem of hospitals, laboratories and recitation buildings which would place it In the very forefront of American medical institutions. It is greatly to be hoped that those who succeed him may make it their first duty to see that his plans do not fail of realization. "Dr. Mackenzie was not only useful in the highest degree in connection with the work of medical education. but he served his community and the country at large in many important connections."

Welk, Florists' Employe, Tells U. S. District Attorney He Acts Under the Lord's Advice. C. Welk of Portland, a subject' of the ex-kaiser, believing himself In close partnership with the Lord through his membership in the brothers of Jesus, decided to secure expert advice from ethereal regions as to whether he should pay his in come tax. According to Welk's statement when placed under arrest yesterday by federal officers, Ve deity didn't approve, so the money for the tax re mained in the German's pocketbook. Welk is an alien and a conscien tious objector to war. He has a net income over $1000 derived from em ployment with tha Clarke Bros. Floral company, yet 'he refused to make, a tax return because he is afraid some of the money miht be. used by the government to pay its war debts.

The 5000 lepers of Culfon, Philip pine islands, sell the products of their farming and fishing to the govern ment, which in turn furnishes them with rations and supplies. The lepers send money each month to their rela tives in. the outside. world. Most time-honored customs have a basis of sound, common sense. The practice of taking a general tonic in the spring of the year when the sys tem is clogged and . eluggish after months of indoor life and compara tive Inactivity, is especially to be com mended. Spring is the time for a reviving of the vital forces. If your blood is de ficient in the elements needed to give tone to the various organs of the body you act in harmony with nature when vou take a tonic to make the life fluid rich and red. The enriched blood goes to every Rssue and carries new life and vigor. Soon the color shows in cheeks and Hps, your step grows more elastic and you notice a better appetite. You feel younger, stronger, less nervous and you owe it all to sound, healthy blood. Regalu I.ont Weight. The almost miraculous results of choosing the' right tonic, is illustrated in the case of Mr. John J.. Donohue of No. -.806 Seventh avenue. South, Seattle, Wash. Mr. Donohue lost fifty pounds and was a nervous wreck. "My flesh just seemed to drop off me," relates Mr. Donohue. "Practi cally everything I ate disagreed with me and after a time I dldn I 'care whether 1 ate or not. I became a nervous wreck and it was found that mv blood was thin and weak. I was seldom without pain and had heart flutterings that worried me. 1 was Attorney jabout ready to give up hope of ever regaiiruiK nci. had many treatments and even had X-ray examinations made, but nothing helped me until, on the rec ommendation of friends. I procured a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began taking them. In a few days I was convinced that the pills were helping me. Slowly my 'strength re turned and as my blood improved I began to take on f eight. I have thus far regained thirty pounds. My nerves became stronger. I 'can eat a good meal now and no longer have to select special, articles of diet. . I , strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for I am sure they will help everyone in need of a tonic." Was Near Nervons Breakdown. Another beneficiary of Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills is Mr. F. D. Cass, who lives at No. 632 Mullan avenue, Waterloo, Iowa. "I am a shipping clerk," relates Mr. Cass, "and I believe that' hard work and close confinement were partly re sponsible for my run-down condition. My Illness came on gradually unt'il finally I considered myself fortunate to get two hours' sleep a night. I was so nervous that I trembled most of the time and would have to sit down frequently for fear of falling. After a time I didn't dare leave the house never knowing what minute I might fall. There was a feeling about my head as though a band were being drawn tightly about it. My appetite was poor and I Buffered from short ness of breath. "My brother had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from time to time with benefit and he praised them so highly I began the treatment. There was some change in my condition in a few weeks. I first noticed that I could sleep a little better and felt more rest ed in the morning. Soon my blood improved, my appetite was better and In two months my nervousness was so much benefited that I no longer feared to go about. The pains in my head have disappeared. I have' great faith in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and shall never be without them again." Her Complexion Improved. ' "My blood was so thin that I had practically no color," says Mrs. E. J. Gombold of No. 229 Ann street, St. Paul. Minm "I was tired, listness and lacking In ambition. I suffered from sick headaches and my stomach was so badly upset that I could eat very little. The attacks of indigestion were generally accompanied by dizzy spells. I didn t sleep well and was nervous and restless. I had tried several prescriptions, but they only gave me temporary re- lief. One day a friend told me about Dr. WMliams'. Pink Tills and they had helped her so much I began taking them. My appetite improved In about two weeks and then my strength slowly returned. I sleep well now and rarely have a headache. The dizzy spells have disappeared. My blood is much richer and my com plexion is improved. I have told sev eral of my friends about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, for I have great faith In them." When a Tonic In Seeded. . Many people who need a tonic neg lect it because they are not sick enough to cause them any worse feel ing than one of fatigue and discom fort They do not realize that the decline in their health is so gradual that they themselves do not see how far from normal they are until the pale face, weak nerves, languidness and irrita bility attract the attention of frfenrt. Even then a tonic is the right rem edy.
