The PlHtaiI in Politics,

The report that the immediate
cause of the recent assumption o
power by the Empress Dowager O
China was an impending imperia
edict ordering officials to do away
with the queue and adopt foreign
dress, recalls the fact, not generally
known, that the custom of wearing The
pigtaiI is of comparatively recent datt
i'll Chinese history. The ancient
Chinese wore their hair long ant
bound upon the top of the head, and
taking pride in its glossy black, called
themselves "the black haired race. ,
The pigtail in its origin was not {
Chinese, but a Manchu method Of
dressing the hair, and it has only
been worn in the middle kingdom
since the commencement Of the pres.
ent dynasty. When, If 1927, Wu San
Kwei, the Chinese Imperial Com
mander- in Chief, rendered his forma
allegiance to the young Manchu
Princes, whom he called in to quell
an instruction, and who stayed to
found a dynasty, one of the condi.
tons stipulated was that the Chinese
should adopt the national costume OF
the Manchus, including the plated
queue, on penalty of death, as sign
of allegiance. The enforced adop.
ton of the pigtail was the cause Of
much friction at first, but it was in,
sisted upon, and now it is considered
by, all alike as one of the most scared
characteristics of "the black -heired'
people, and thus the fashion begun by
compulsion is now followed by choice.
1t is, indeed, strange irony of fate
that the present Emperor should give
offense by his attempt at doing away
with a custom which his ancestors
had imposed upon the unwilling
Chinese as sign of subsection ia
their Manchu conquerors. London

I do not like the old, worn roads.
That lead where thousands have abodcs -
The shorter links worn fine and thin
'Twixt town and town and inn and inn
But rather would turn my face
Toward some newer, stranger place;
Follow the woodlands ruthless axe
Far through the Northern tamaracks,
Or the clean-curved, alert canoe
Drive through some stream still fresh and
new.
In the low sod huts OF the plain
Through many wild night have lain,
And have felt midsummer heat

Common sense tells a woman that when
she's sick she needs a doctor.
Common sense tells q woman that in
disease the first question is not of man or
woman, but of recognized medical ability.
Common sense applied to advertisements
which invite women to write to woman
because she is a woman and understands
women, - will show the women so appealed
to, that it's no use to write to any woman
about disease unless that woman is
physician.
Common sense used in the reading of
advertisements will discover that no claim
is made in them to physicians knowl-
edge or diploma. And that is not because
the claim would be morally culpable as a
lie, but because 1t would be legally pun
ishable as a fraud. The law permits you to
masquerade as a doctor in an advertise
meut Just so long as you don't actually
claim to be a doctor, or put NJ d. after
your name That's why the advertisement
is worded " write to a woman " instead of
write to a doctor.
Common sense has brought more than
half-a-milliou women, afflicted with some
| form of female disease, to DR.. R V. Pierce
as one of the most expert physicians in the
United States in the treatment of female
diseases. DIR. Pierce is a specialist. He
has giveE more than thirty years of active
practice TO the treatment of female dis
eases. DR.. Pierce is not a physician " by
courtesy He is physician regularly grad
uated legally empowered to practice and
with thirty years of experience in the treat
ment of diseases of women, which he has
made his specially.
The offer of free consultation by letter
made by DR.. Pierce is a real offer, an honest
offer. It is an offer backed by medical
| institution with a worldwide reputation,
a staff of nearly score of regularly grad
uated physicians a practice which reaches
every state in the Union and a record of

M' Poincare Declines to Accept the
Premiership,
M. DEsCHANEL MAY BE CALLED

Poincare Intimatod to President Lou
bet That He Would Enter Descha-
mel Cabinet, and the President of the
Chamber Is the Loading Candidate.
Paris June 14.-The air is full of
reports regarding the probable success
sor of M. Dupuy as premier. M. Poin-
care was the favorlte yesterday morn
ing, but after three-quarters OF an
hour spent in conference with the
president he declined to accept the
task He is a Moderate Republican.
and evidently doubted he would be
able to succeed in forming a cabinet,
which the papers think, after Mon
days vote, must be a Radical cabinet.
Late last evening 1t developed that
M. Poinoare, while he refused the pre-
miership, intimated to the president
that he might enter a cabinet presided
over by M. Paul Deschanel, president of
the chamber of deputies, who hadpre-
viously been in conference with M.
Loubet. MN Poincare and DeSchanel
conferred with their friends last even
ing and returned to the Elysee today
to report the result. 1t is conceded
that Deschanel Is now the leading can
didate
The feeling among the Republican
| senators and deputies Is veering in fa-
vor of Poincare-Deschanel oomblna-
ton. M. Waldeok-Rousseau has drop
ped into the background, chiefly owing
to his absence from Paris and to the
impossibility of his return from Riom
until a case In which he is engaged
as counsel for the defense Is finished.
| II Is said that M Deloasse insists
on retaining the foreign Office portfolio
in the new cabinet rather than ac-
eepting that of the interior, and that
M. Bourgeois prefers continuing a
member of the French delegation at
The Hague to accepting a cabinet post.
The anti-Dreyfus press virulently at
tacSs M. Rousseau and the
president, declaring that they have al
ready decided upon an openly Drey-
fusard, anti-military ministry. LIE Soir
publishes probable list, headed by M.
Waldeck-Rousseau, with the headline,
"A Ministry Against the Army" This
is part of the campaign against M.
Loubet.
Another feature is the posting of red
placards upon available walls, attack
ing him as a ''Panamist," and repro
ducing the text of the resolution adopt
ed by the chamber In March, 1898,
blaming the minister of the interior for
arranging, toward the end of 1892, to
dispatch a police agent to Venice to
see Emile Arton, implicated with DR..
