There are three periods in all life the
time of the bud, of the flower and of the
perfect fruit II is thus that girlhood
energies into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease Of the femi-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the turn Of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, DR..
r " Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician 10 the lnvalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, al Buffalo, n. y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles Of this nature
in the privacy Of the home. This medi-
cine is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. II acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. II makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. II allays in
fammation, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. II banishes the
indispositions Of the period Of impending
maternity and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless II transforms weak,
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers All good medicine
dealers sell II, and no honest dealer will
urge a substitute upon you.

not amount to more than the river and harbor

many political debts and done so little good"
me question might be asked: Why give
government bounty to build up a merchant
marine to haul wheat from the Pacific coast
to Asia? Why not to Europe? 1t is Mr.. HIPS
contention that if the surplus wheat from the
Pacific coast were carried to Asia instead
of Europe, there to compete with the agri-
cultural products Of the states east of the
Rocky mountains, 1t would advance the price
Of wheat from 10 to 20 cents per bushel We
are now limited to the European market. and
the price we get there fixes the price of our
entire crop.
In equally convincing manner President
Stuyvesant Fish called attention to the need
Of adequate steamship service to deyelon
our trade with Central and South America
and Mexico. The arguments advanced by
these gentlemen, who stand very high in the
commercial world, are certain to demand

Why =?

Why so much feeling on the part Of
Gov. Clough because The Glob e
printed an innocent little story Of the
visit OF the state board Of equalization
to Omaha and it's Midway Plaisance?
Why so much concern on the part Of
the members of the board over the sug-
gestlon, idea, fact-whatever it may be
termed-that the Twin Cities Railroad
company paid the expenses of the trip
or Junket or racket or bust or bum
or drunk or jamboree-whateve the
commissioners may be pleased to term
It?
Ihere is no harm in accepting the
hospitality Of corporation in the
equalization Of whose taxes several
hundred thousands of dollars are in
VolVed-not a bit, from the point Of
view Of the boards members.
The board had "a bully time" up on
the Mesaba range and another down
at Omaha. What were the bankers of
this state thinking about that thew did
not also project a junket before this
travelling body, and so save that in
creased assessment? It would have
been grabbed like fly by a hungry
trout.
Why don't the taxpayers turn out of
power just for once a party that boasts
OF thirty-eight years Of uninterrupted
supremacy and of such curiously con-
structed bodies as the board of equal
iZation?
