A bride is always interesting. When
woman becomes bride she is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter
ing on duties entirely new to her--duties,
which she is all too often wholly untitled and
unprepared for. 1t is wofnan's duty, as
we'll to herself as to her husband that she
shall be strongly healthy in every way-par-
ticularly in those organs which are to be
called into play IN bringing children into
the world. Weakness and disease OF the
organs distinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much of the misery, unhappiress and
incompatibility of married life. A woman
whose nerves are continually nagged with
torturing pains, whose vitality is low, and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks
does not find 1t possible to be always ami
able and cheerful. And yet, amiability,
cheerfiIlness, good looks and vivacity are
the things most expected by husband.
Every woman may have these things If she
will make and keep herself strong and
healthy, The way is simple, 1t leads to
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the pre-
paration of regularly graduated, expert
enced and skilled specialist IN the treatment
of the diseases OF women, who has for thirty
years been chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y. For thirty years this prepara-
ton has been marvelousiy successful--has
thousands of homes. Its most benign inf1u-
of childbirth It's benefit in this respect
cannot be overestimated -
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets permanently cure
constipation, sick and bilious headaches, bilious
ness heart burn sour stomach, foul breath, PAL
pitation of the heart, and fatulence.

DAIRYMEN MEET
And Discuss Laws Desired at the Hands
of the Legislature On the Sale
of Oleomargerine.

The Jefferson County Dairymen and
Stock Raisers association held meeting
yesterday morning in the city hall.
The object of the meeting was for the
purpose of discussing some special law
desired at the hands of the present legis-
lature relative to the sale of oleomar-
gerine. A law was read proposed by the
state association. The members of the
county organization want stringent laws
regulating the sale of manufactured but
tiers from fats, oils and other commodities
other than milk, and especially where the
stuff is sold under the pretense that it is
butter.
1t was suggested that an object case be
made out, but the association took no
steps in the matter, preferring TO allow
some legislation to be made first
A letter was received from Senator r.
NJ. Cunningham in which he favored an
expression as to laws being wanted from
all those interested before taking any
action.
Mr. w. T. Tanner was elected a member
of the association. and adjournment was
taken until the second Wednesday in
February at the same place.
