WAYS look after the health and vigor of
the organs distinctly feminine, the pitiful
Sabbath day procession of motherless
children that goes to the cemetery to "put
fewers on ma-ma's grave " would be ma
terjally reduced in numbers. Too many
woBSN bring a child into the world at the
sacrifice of their own life. This sad trag-
edy may be avoided by any women who
will resort to the right remedy.
The usual dangers of maternity are BAN
ished by the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. II acts directly and only on
the important and delicate organs that
bear the burdens of motherhood. It
makes them healthy and strong, vigorous
and elastic. 1t does away with the dis
comforts of the expectant period, insures
the health of the newcomer, and makes
its advent free from danger and almost
free from pain. Over 10000 have testi-
fed to its virtues. Druggists who offer
substitutes are untrustworthy.

Bad Times for Restaurants.

II is an old saying hat "times mus.
be hard when restaurants fail" and it
would seem that such is the case now,
for there have been more failures in the
restaurant business recently than mt
any other time since 1873. In one block
Of West 28th street, between Broad
way and 9th avenue, four restaurants
have closed for lack of patronage, with
in as many weeks, and on other New
York thoroughfares failures in the res
taurant business have not been unusual
lately. The summer is not "A good sea-
son for restaurants.
In some parts of town, especially
among the French and Italian tables
d'hote, the patronage does not fall off
but in American restaurants and oyster
houses the decline is not only very
marked but the patronage is of so un.
certain Il character that no provision
can be made for the daily changes.
Under a decision Of the general term
OF the Supreme court a new burden has
been added to the woes of restaurant
keepers, who are by the terms of ii
made responsible for hats, coats and
umbrellas left in the restaurant. The
theory of the court is that the establish
ment of racks or hooks make the res
taurant-keepers "bailees" under the law,
the absence of such racks and hooks,
however, freeing the proprietors from
liability.-N. y. SHa.
