Some women are born stronger than
others. Some are born with what is
called constitutional weakness. 1t
is easier for some women to retain
health and strength than it is for 9TH
ers. Some seem able to do anything
they like, whenever they like, with
out serious results. Still, there ia NO
reason why women should not enjoy
perfect health. Those who do not,
need only take the proper precau-
tions and the proper remedy to be-
come perfectly well and strong. DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription will
cure any arrangement of the distinctly
feminine organism. Is is absolutely
certain. There are some who have
neglected themselves so long that a
complete ure is next to impossible,
but even these will find comfort and
improved health in the use of the
"Favorite Prescription" 1t has cured
hundreds of women who have re-
ceived no relief whatever from years
of treatment with good physicians.
1t is absolutely unique in the history of
medicine. Such a remedy a be dis
covered only once. There Is nothing
like it, nor has there ever been. Its
sales exceed the combined sales of all
other medicines for women.

CATTLE TO BE P
Large Vats in Course Of Construc.
ton at Fort Worth, Texas.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, August THE
State Board of Agriculture is consider
ing the propriety of putting to a prac-
tical test the results of experiments
made in dipping Texas cattle the last
season by that board and the Missouri
and Texas Experiment Stations. The
work done last year and duplicated to
date for this season, indicates that the
Texas cattle tick carries the infection
from the Southern to the native cat
tie and that Texas cattle, when free
from these ticks, will not communi-
cate the disease. All the ticks a be
killed readily and at a very slight
cost, by dipping the cattle in
oil. The stock yards at Fort Worth,
Texas, convinced of the efficacy of
this mode of disinfecting Southern
cattle through the work of the Mis-
souri, authorizes, r erecting in con-
nection with their yards an immense
vat, where Texas cattle may be dip
ped and pass out into disinfected pens
and thence to disinfected cars for
shipment to Northern territory. The
Board of Agriculture has instructed
its secretary, after collecting all the
facts in relation to the movement of
the Fort Worth Stock Yards Com
pany, to formulate regulations for the
admission of these dipped cattle into
Missouri, subject, however, to an in
spection by a State Live Stock In
spector, who viii see that the dipping
has been done thoroughly and that
the cattle are free of ticks. These
cattle will not be admitted before the
first of October, and their movement
will be thoroughly guarded, the re-
suits carefully noted, and, if success
fui, as all who have watched the ex-
periments made at Columbia, it will
be of great value to the cattle interests
of Missouri and the southwest. Owing
to the success of the experiments in
Texas, the board desires to establish
dipping stations in Missouri. When
the proposed dipping stations are es-
tablished, they will doubtless be at st.
Louis and Kansas City, and possibly
at other points in the state. Colonel
]. r. Rippey, secretary of the Board
of Agriculture, said this evening that
the cce of the experiments in dip
ping had not only proved of vast i'm
portance to cattle dealers, but had also
induced the grain industry. Feeders
soon will have little difficulty in dis
posing of their grain for consumption
by cattle in Missouri, as the expected
influx of Southern cattle from the dip
ping stations will create a new de-
mand for grain.

to wait just two years. The amount
which would go to each school dis
