Between the ages of fifteen and
forty-five, the time when woman
hood begins and motherhood ends,
it is estimated that the aggregate
term of woman's suffering is ten
years. Ten years out of thirty One
third of the best part of a woman's
life sacrificed! Think of the enor-
nous loss of time! But time is not all
that is lost. Those years of suffering
steal the bloom from the cheeks, the
brightness fro+l the eyes, the fair
ness from the form. They write
their record in many a crease and
wrinkle. What a boon then TO wo-
men, is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t promotes perfect reg
ularity, dries up debihtating drains,
heals liberation. cures female weak
ness, and establishes the delicate
womanly organs in vigorous and
permanent health. No other medi-
cine can do for woman what is done
by DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton.

of forcing the national administra-

If the administration refuses to
act, it is proposed to inaugurate a
movement against the renomina-
ton of Mckinley. The travelling
men refuse to unmask their plan
until they have obtained a MEM

leve can be accomplished in few
months. The movement started
at Des MoineS two weeks ago, and

The author of wild Flowers of

count Of how the Indians prepare for
food Il plant that is commonly called
Indian lettuce. 1t will be recalled that
formic acid takes its name from the
red ant, and that acid was first OBJ
tanned from the insect.
The Placer county Indians greedily
eat the Succulent leaves and stems of
their lettuce" Their way of prepar-
ing the plant for food is novel. Gath
ering the leaves, they lay these about
the entrances to the nests of certain
large red ants. The ants, swarming
out, run all over the plants. After a
time the Indians shake the ants off
the leaves. satisfied that the lettuce

APPALLING SITUATION.
Flood Refugees Near Brookshire on the
Brazos Utterly Helpless.

The Fort Worth Morning Re
gister gives a vivid picture of the
food situation in Texas. Gov.
Savers has been called on for aid
and the state will respond noblv.
The situation at Sealey is told as
follows:
The Brazos river here is more
than FIVE miles wide and the waters
are lashing furiously. All charac-
ter of fioatable property is rushing
along with the currents. On this
side of the river (at Sealeyj there
is as yet little danger. but on the
other side dewey and Brookshire)
the conditions are terrible.
Brookshire is 13 miles from
Sealey and IS miles from Houston.
We cannot get from the Sealey
side to the Dewey and Brookshire
side and as our wires are all gone
on that side we cannot tell the ex-
tent of the disaster at BroOkshire.
| reached Sealey tonight in a
small boat after spending last
night on a small island four miles
from here The big bridge of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
road at Dewey is as good as ruin
ed. 1t is covered with water and
the center span is six inches out
of line The entire structure is
liable to go at any minute.
Four miles of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas track are gone
on the Dewey side and about a
mile on the Sealey side. If boats
and special trains from Houston
or other points have not yet reach
ed Brookshire, they are too late.
People, l fear, will be drowned be-
fore they can be reached.
This afternoon there were from
300 to 400 PERSONS on small is
land near Brookshire, and the
water was rising rapidly. l fear
they are drowned by this time, as
they had not the slightest means
of escape. The river here tonight
is six feet higher than in 1887,
which was the highest up to the
present. The damage to property
is enormous. / have never seen
as bad a flood condition as this
one"
