We've heard of a woman who said
she'd walk five miles to get a bottle of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That woman
had tried it. And it's a medicine which
makes itself felt in toning up the sys-
tenn and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun. Go to your
drug store, pay a dollar, get bottle
and try it-try a second, a third if nee
essary. Before the third ones been
taken you'll know that there's REM
edy to help you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure III come. But if you
shouldn't feel the help, should be dis
appointed in the results-you'll find a
guarantee printed ON the bottle-wrap-
per that'l get your money back for you.
How many women are there who'd
rather have the money than health?
And "Favorite Prescription" produces
health. Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when there's
guaranteed remedy in the nearest drug
store.

THE SILVER MEN.

MINNEAPoLIS, June 4-The prominent
silver Republicans got into town today,
and like practical politicians, went into
active business almost as soon rs they ar
rived Senators Teller and Wolcott re-
ported that Colorado was solid for Blaine
and General Shoup of Idaho said that
Idaho was unitedly for Blaine.
"Unitedly for silver too?" he was quer-
led.
Yes" with a laugh, sour record is
made on that"
Senator Teller saw Chairman Clarkson
and, after getting his views, saw Mr. Piatt,
who had just arrived, and conference
WAS soon in progress, at which the list of
delegates WAS goue over and the strength
of the Harrison following in each state
canvassed. B. Clark Wheeler of Denver
was also with the silver men.
The silver people have held number of
informal conferences, but are not abso-
lutely determined on what they will seek
after they find that free coinage plank
cannot be had in the platform Some dit-
ference of opinion prevails as TO the inter
national conference. part of them beng
opposed TO a committal in any way 10 the
project. They want to fight against it on
the ground that il will amount TO nothing,
while others, like Senator Teller. believe
in approving the holding of the conference
and fighting it should it be demonst rated
TO be a failure. A conference wall lie held,
at which an agreement viii be reached
