Pierce's Favorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. 1t is
powerful, invigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appendages in particular.
"Run-down," debilitated and deli
cate women need it. It's a legiti-

as much. You only pay for the

As a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
tion" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. 1t is equally efficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 30.-A grist of
startling railroad legislation was dumped
into the hopper by Representative Jack
son, of Detroit, yesterday. He presented
bills repeating the charters of the old
Grand River Valley road, operated by the
Michigan Central, and the Erie and Kala-
mazoo railroad, operated by the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, and fol-
lowed this up by joint resolution to sub
nit to the vote of the people next spring
proposed amendment to the constitution
which will enable the state to buy rail-
roads outright under certain conditions.
All this was followed by bill announcing
that under the provisions of Act 1l2 ses-
sion laws of 1916, the state elects to Dur
chase from the Michigan Central COM
pany its railroad and its property and eff
fects.
Real Purpose of the Bill.
The bill makes the governor the pur-
chasing agent, and provides that in case
the company and the state cannot agree
upon the market value of the stocks OF the
company, the supreme court shall fix the
valuation, and within two years the state
treasurer shall pay the company the
amount due it. The bill conflicts with
the constitution as the latter stands Al,
present, and therefore will not be pushed
until the proposed amendment is voted
upon in the spring. The real intent OF the
bill is to force the Michigan Central DE ople
TO give up the special privileges and i'm
munities they enjoy under their charter.
and if this can be accomplished no ser Gus
effort will be made to force the state INTO
railroad buying.

A Couple of Incidents That Broke the
MISUNDERSTANDING Record.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 3Q-Bills were
introduced in the senate yesterday: Allow
ing appeals to county boards against i'm
proper appraisements; requiring building
and loan associations to make annual
statements; providing for the Australian
ballot system; the Chicago Ballot Reform
leagues election bill.
In the house, White of Whiteside. in he
half of himself and Morgan of Kirby,
asked that protest be recorded again st
the action of the house in adopting the
resolution instructing the senators from
this state to vote against the force bill.
1t was so ordered. The protest says that
the right of free exercise of suffrage IS
more important than any Worlds
fair. The resolution of Moore de-
nouncing the railway commits
sioners, was referred to the elections com
mittee-7T to 16-the F. NJ. B. A. men and
BOul, Democrat, voting with the Repub-
licans. BOul said that the declaration in
the preamble that the commission had
been conducted "solely in the interest Of
the corporations" ETC., was too strong.
Some Fun in Joint Session.
In the joint session four ballots were
taken. AT the conclusion of the third bal =
lot Van Praag, of Chicago, moved that on
the next ballot the two lowest should be
dropped. To this remarkable motion the
chair replied that he would like to so rule
but it was impossible. The fourth ballot
having been concluded, with no change in
the vote, Fuller moved to adjourn The
Democrats objected, and the ayes and nays
were demanded. The three F. NJ
B. A. men voted aye But the
surprise came when, of Geher, of Peoria
Democrat, also voted aye. There were
loud protests from the Democrats, but
Geher was firm He said he was no ma
chine, and was told that there was not
prominent Democrat in his district who
would uphold him; that if he was bigger
than his party he had better run it, etc
But he still stuck to his vote and said
that there was no sense in voting when
there was nothing to be gained, and that
he would be found on the same side more
than once before the matter was settled.
