The door of health stands open to every
woman who will enter. All that she needs
is the key and little knowledge. The
knowledge that she needs is concerning her
own nature, her own physical makeup and
the principal cause Of ill-health in women.
When q woman suffers from headaches
and pains In the back and sides, and burn
ing and dragging sensations and the weak
ness, nervousness and dependency that
are caused by diseases peculiar to her sex,
she cannot enjoy good general health. The
key to the door of health-the cure for all
disorders of this description-is DR.. Pierce's
Favofite Prescription. 1t Is medicine
specially devised for disorders of this ma
ture and no other. 1t Is the invention of
an eminent and skillful specialist, DR.. r. v.
Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting
physician to the tnvslids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, at Buffalo: N. Y; When a
woman writes to Dr. Pierce she consults
a physician who has practiced for thirty
years right in one place, and who was some
years ago honored by his own townspeople
BY an election to the National Congress.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The clerk Of the
weather has at last relented and Great
Britain has emerged from q period OF pro-
ionged drought amid general rejoicings.
The western, central and northern coun-
ties were deluged on Thursday while Lon
don and the south were treated to refresh
ening showers. The thermometer and ba-
rometer fell together. Frosts are record
ed in several parts Of the country. The
change in the weather promises to be last
ing and will fill the reservoirs which
throughout the country had run very low.
Birmingham only had storage sufficient
for ten days and villagers in many parts
were obliged to walk miles to obtain wa

Windsor Park are dying.
The talk Of the sporting world Is the in
cident of Thursday when, at Newmarket,
two English rivals Of Tod Sloan. Sammy"
Loates and NAT" Robinson, tried to hus-
tie the American jockey out of the run
ming in the welter handicap. Mandorla
finished first in that race, which was for
100 sovereigns at seven furlongs. being
a neck ahead Of Kirschwasser, ridden by
Sloan. But an objection was lodged against
Mandorla for boring; this was sustained
and the race was awarded to horse ridden
by the American jockey.
There is no doubt that bitter jealousy
has been aroused by Sloan among the
English Jockeys. who are aghast at his
phenomenal series Of wins. He started on

eleven wins out of twenty mounts as his
record. The attempt to GUST Sloan on

scending the bushes hill. Robinson, who

cannoned on Kirschwasser. Sloan kept his
seat but Kirschwasser lost his balance and
was passed by Manderola ridden by Sam
my Loates, who Immediately on the run
home swerved to the right taking Kirsch-
wasser, who was close behind the result
being that Kirschwasser lost by a neck
But Sloan was not yet beaten, and his first
words on returning to the Weighing room
were, Say, where's the objection room? ~
The upshot of the matter was that Loates
and Robinson were summoned before the
stewards of the Jockey Club, who disqual-
flied Manderola and suspended Loates from
riding until the Houghton meeting, and
cautioned Robinson.
The sympathies of the British sporting
men are all on the side of Sloan and the
English newspapers warmly applaud the
prompt action of the Jockey Club. One
paper says:
In English races. we welcome them on our
different courses and the same generous
hand should be extended to the Jockeys
no matter whence they come. It is graf
,fvinR to see that the stewards will not
vince at shady conduct upon the part of
even a fashionable jockey like Loates
II would be far better for some Of our rid
ers to initiate to a certain extent Sloan's
style than to attempt by unfair means
to Jockey him out of win."
The suggestion that the English Jockeys
initiate Sloan's riding has already been
Anticipated by a leading English Jockey.

made on Friday by Sloan when his record
showed for the Newmarket meetings six

There is no exaggeration in saying that
this caused a genuine tempest of surprise
and admiration In sporting circles. The
mere fact that Sloan rides horse, how
ever mediocre the animal may be, gives 1t
good odds In the betting. In the selling
