cure. The effects of such disorders are not
limited to mere local discomforts but ex-
tend over the whole body. Perhaps the
nerves are NEST affected, and this in turn
disturbs the digestion. After that there is
no telling what form the trouble may take.
With irritable nerves and poor digestion,
woman is on the straight road to the grave.
Women are VIGOROUSLY negligent i'll mat
tiers pertaining to their health. Too many
of them understand too little about their
own physical makeup. They do not ui1-
derstand their possibilities or their limita-
tons, and they do not know enough about
themselves to know when a symptom is
really serious and when it is not. This nat
urally makes them overlook the plainest
of danger signals. The start of everything
is simple. The start of so-called g female
complaints " may be a very slight thing in
deed. 1t may be that in the beginning
some small hygienic measures would stop
the trouble. Certainly at this time, little
bit of the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse, it is
harder to cure, but still it can be cured.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will posi-
lively cure any trouble of this character.
1t may be absolutely relied upon. 1t affords
immediate and lasting relief to a woman
whose natural 1nodesty has kept her from
consulting physicians.
The whole story of the "Favorite Pre-
scriptioE,' and what it has done for thou
sands of women is told in DR.. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser. This
is 1908 page book, profusely illustrated,
written in plain language for the use of
everyday people, and gives in clear and
lucid way an immense amount of valuable

NOxious Weeds.

Now Is the time TO cut noxiouS
weeks. 1t is the duty of every land
owner, whether in the city or the
country, to see that all the weeds
specified in the law should be de-
stroyed. If not attended TO the
weed commissioner will come around
and notify the owner or occupant. If
then the weeds remain, he will pro-
coed to destroy them and tax up the
cost against the property to be col
lected with other taxes next winter.
OF cOurse there should b. no necessity
for any such procedure; every man in
the state should be a natural enemy
Of all noxious weeds and not wait the
bidding of the law to destroy them
The commissioner usually cuts them
down with scythe; this is almost as
effectual as letting them alone. 1t

stringent laws of the state, the Cana

crop on most Of the farms. But be
all this as it may, cut your weeds or

The army worm is making his ap-
pearance all over the country. He
seems to appear spontaneously, and
the first the farmer knows his crops
are infested. The pest has appeared
in many localities in Wisconsin and
has got as far east as New York. A few
days ago Woodville, n. Y, farmer
went to his cornfield and found the
army worms had camped there during
the night. He lost heart, went home
and cast him self upon a couch just as
an actor in a repertoire company
would do, saying luck was against
him. A young lady neighbor came
in, saw his sad plight, rushed out and
gathered a beyy Of her girl friends,
and by making excavations in the
ground, burning straw on the surface
and in various other methods succeed
ed in disposing of the legion of des-
troyers, and for time, at least, saw
ing the farmers crop. If the army
worm has half the gallantry that is
so conspicuous part of the average
soldier, he will leave the cornfield
upon the mere request of a young lady.

4 drive through the county the
early part of the week convinced us
that the timber belt is the most
prosperous section of Pierce county.
Crops look better in the timber than
on the prairie: they seem TO be better
cultivated; the buildings are better
cared for. and everything has n more
up-to-date look The day when the
prairie farmer took the lead has passed.
We do not undertake to give the
reason for this striking difference,
but surmise that too large fields with
insufficient help 10 cultivate them
may afford a solution. The timber
farmer has less land and cultivates
better. There is less waste of effort
with him.

thought that the nomination of La

does not Hold say so in his paper? Is
it because the sentiment in Madison

A New York clergyman said recent
ly in public that no newspaper telling
the truth and the whole truth can be
a financial success. He was right, and
he would not have been far wrong if
he had said the same of his own pro-
fession. The preacher who at all times
and under all circumstances tells the
whole truth about the mem bers of his
flock will not be likely to occupy the
pulpit more than one Sunday, and the
chances are that he will vacate it in a
hurry As matter of fact, the press
and the pulpit are alike given to
whitewashing. The pen, pulpit and
grayestone are a great saint-making
umvirate.-EX.
