Over r-burdened
Women.

Naay . man sees his wife bend and
tug At burdens that strain the back and
the heart alike, without any idea of the
outrage. Children follow in too quick
succession to allow the mother time to
recuperate. The womanly organs become
displaced, there are debilitating, disagree
able drains, with the added pain of in
famed or liberated parts. In this condi-
tion the woman bravely tries to carry her
household load, afraid to take the rest she
needs lest meal will be late No wonder
she is pale, weak, wretched. sur1y of tenn
per and snappish of tongue. She would
be false to nature If she were anything else.
No persons need help SO much as the class
of whom this woman is the type. And for
such women no help is SO sure, SO wonder
full, a. that given by DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t restores all the womanly
organs to perfect health. 1t establishes
regularity in their functions. 1t restores
the strained and shattered nervous system.
1t clears up the complexion, rounds out
the form and makes life a daily happiness.

A canvass made among the business
men OF Boulder not only reveals a lack
of enthusiasm for the scheme of raising
money for the volunteers transportation
fund. but decided opposition to it. The
sentimental arguments in favor are gen
orally conceded. The gift would be in
the nature of an expression of gratitude
for their valiant services in the Philip
pine Campaign. Again, it is said, other
towns OF the state are donating money,
and friends of the cause plead town
pride. Practically. however, few citi.
zens can see justification for the move.
