MEXICAN FRONTIER TOWNS.
Ell MundO Shows in What a bad Way
They Are.-TOO Much ZOna Libre.

They Are.-TOO Much ZOna Libre.
Ell Mundo, City of Mexico daily. has
the following article on the towns of the
northern frontier. A rather free trans
lation is necessary owing to the often
turbid rhetoric, or better no rhetoric
Some American country editors
are bad enough, but on the other
hand there are some Mexican editors
who seem to take fiendish delight in
firing their words and phrases together
very much as they would load hay. and
old nick himself could not translate
some of their work.
The towns of the frontier were form
erly commercial centers of much i'm
portance, when the American cities
on the other side of the Rio Grande
were as yet in an undeveloped condi-
tion, especial Y in their means of inter-
communication, but on the building of
railroads in the republic, cities which
previously transacted business with the
towns of the frontier, changed their
centers of consumption. The frontier
cities remained stationary, and their
lack of development is necessary con-
sequence of the change of economic
circumstances in the two countries.
The frontier towns included in the
free zone have had three different ep-
ochs, in which as their decadence has

fatally on the ascendant. When these
towrs were the commercial centers of
the American frontier and the frontier
states of the republic, they were paying
a tax of per cent. But when the Am
ericans opened up improved ways of
com mmunication and of consumption, and
the Mexican warehouses were removed
from the Mexican towns, these paid 10
per cent, and finally the tax was raised
TO Is per cent, while Mexico ad also |
abundant means of communication, ard |
many states like TamauIipas, Nuevo |
Leon, COahuila, etc, increased on this |
account their commercial Importance
to the detriment of the free zone.
In these different epochs the wages |
of the working classes have followed !

they were 81 SO, but towards the last
six bits and 81 cents per day, which
has daily decreased the frontier popu-
latiOn through emigration towards the
in terror of the republic and to the
United States.
American merchandise has a charge
upon its valuation of 36 per cent in toto,

The fear of pain and the dangers of
parturition fill many woman's breast
with dismay. There is no reason why
child birth should be fraugnt with dan
ger and distress. 1t is a perfectly ma
tural function, and should be perform
ed in a natural way without undue suf-
feriDg. Nine out of ten women are
troubled more or less by weakness and
diseases p -culiar to their Sex 1t is so
because they do not take proper care of
emselves-because they neglect little
ills and little precautions. A woman in
perfectly hearty health goes through
her time of trial with comparative ease.
The thing to do then, is to make all
eXpectant mothers healthy-to
strengthen them generally and locally.
The medicine and tonic to do it with is
DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription. 1t
is a powerful invigorant and pervine.
1t soothes and strengthens the nerves
and acts directly on the feminine Or
ganism in way which fits it for the
proper and regular performance of all
Its functions at all times. Taken during
SetatiOn it robs childor b of its dao-
gers to both mother aud child, by pre-
pairing the system for delivery, thereby
shortening labor. lessening pain and
abbreviatipg the period of confinement.
