ES No. - any features will do
SVSFHss% if the complexion is
clear, the eyes bright
and the lips rosy. Hearty, healthy whole
sorneneSs is better than mere beauty of
features. A face full of the glow of good
health-fu1l of the kindliness and good
humor that health brings, is bound to
be an attractive face-a face that will
make friends. The face tells the story
of the whole body. Murder will out !"
and so will "female weakness !" and
nervousness and other disorders peculiar
to women.
If there is drain on the system and
strength, the record of it will show in
the face. If there is nerve nagging
bearing down" pains, dragging and
pulling at the most sensitive organs in a
woman's body, the face will show it.
Abused nerves draw lines of care and
worry on the face. Nervous prostration
writes its warning on the face long before
it comes. Sleeplessness, nervousness and
debilitating drains make more wrinkles
than age.
Nine-tenths of the sickness of women
comes from some arrangement of organs
distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this
sickness can be cured and avoided by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is nothing miraculous about the
Favorite Prescription nothing super
natural
It is the result of rational thought
and study applied to medicine.
1t has been prescribed by DR.. Pierce
for over 80 years. 1t has made thousands
of women healthy and happy, and has
brought joy to thousands of homes.
In female weakness y it acts directly
and strongly in healing and strengthen
ing the parts that are most severely tried
1t clears out impurities and promotes
regularity at all times.

The Griggs Courier says that
Messrs. Cooper and Swenson are
all right in their belief in Repub-
ican principles that both are
against the free silver formula
as a cure for all ills, and adds
that Griggs wants the two repre-
sentatives again this fall, since
Steele has the hold over senator.
The Tribune has no objections
then to Mr.. Cooper or Mr.. Sven
son. It wishes to see the best
material obtainable, put in the
field. It wants to see men nom
mated for the legislature who re-
present the conservative and
sound business principles of the
Republican party. We would
like to see Mr.. Goplerud on the
ticket, but if Cooper and Sven
son are renominated, the Tribune
will give them it's loyal support.

Newspaper correspondents are
trying to make out that Michigan
is the pivotal state and that which
ever way that state, goes so will
go the election. If that is a fact
there is hardly any necessity for
the waste of any more money
electioneering as Michigan is
dead certain to cast it's vote for
the man from Ohio. The news
papers argue that Pingree. the
republican nominee for governor,
is the one man that can settle
the election. 1t is nice to hold a
position of this kind but we are

Writing in the Forum for
August, 1898, Edward G. Leech,
director of the mint, alluding to
the closing of the mints of
British India to the coinage of
silver coins said: For the last
quarter of a century civilized
countries have combined to de-
throne silver as a precious metal,
and have declared in unmistak-
able terms that by reason of it's
cumbersomeness, the enormous
quantity procured. and the vio-
lent fluctuations in it's value,
silver is not fit to serve as a
measure of value of all other
things; that hereafter gold alone
shall be the standard of value,
and that the business of the
world is to be done with gold
money and an enlarged use of
the instruments of credit. -
When England adopted the
gold standard in 1916 it was be-
cause great inconvenience had
arisen from both the precious
metals being concurrently the
standard measure Of value and
equivalent of property
Up to the time of the France
Russian war all the German
countries were on silver basis.
After that Germany found it
necessary to organize a new
monetary system for the
new empire and adopted
the gold standard. By
this act two hundred fifty
seven million, four hundred and
ffty-four thousand dollars worth
of silver coins were demonetized.
The supply of silver bullion in
creased enormously. Brokers
and exchange dealers made great
profit by buying silver in Ger
many and having it minted in the
states of the Latin Union. The
Latin Union tired to regulate the
price of the silver by limiting the

two predictions.

The Courier believes in fair
play. Suppose we vote to give
the farmers that AZ cents on the
dollar instead of the silver mine
owners. We will agree to that.
It seems to us that this free
silver business is the rankest
kind of class legislation and all
in favor of the silver kings-and
populists are supposed to be
''agin'' that sort Of a thing, which
leads one to ask where does the
consistency come in.

Something for Farmers
Think Over.

The farmers are asked to vote
for free silver on the ground that
it will double the price Of their
crops and enable them to pay off
more easily any mortgages they
may have on their farms.
Some weeks ago The Tribune
called the attention of the farm
ers to the fact that they need not
expect double prices Immediate
ly after a slump to a silver stand
ard, for the panic which would
ensue and the effect on the men
who market the farm products
would be such that the farmers
would be lucky if they got at
first as many 50-cent dollars as
they get now 100-cent dollars.
