No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out Of order, to the first person who dis
played the sign " Watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for a man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take in charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should a
woman be, when she herself is disor-
lerded, not to entrust the delicate and
complex mechanism Of her being to the
first man OF woman who displays the
lign " Medical Advice Given" No sign
is TO be trusted which says Medical
Advice Given " and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
sician. An accredited physician will put
his title with his name. Suppose a sign
reads, Medical Advice Given by a
Man" What woman would rot in
stantly say, The fact Of being a man
doesn't qualify him to give medical ad-
vice. He must be a physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads
" Medical Advice Given by Woman"
Is not the fact just as patent that being
a a0OaH does not qualify her to give
medical advice. The woman must be
a physician to do that. Medical advice
given by an unskilled woman is Just as
dangerous as II given by an unskilled
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to
consult him by letter without charge,
DIR. Pierce points to an experience and
practice Of over thirty years, devoted
specially to diseases peculiar to women.
In that time DIR. Pierce and his associate
staff Of medical specialists have success
fully treated more than half million
women. All correspondence is treated
as strictly private and sacredly con6den-
tial. Letters are promptly answered, ard
the answers are mailed in perfectly plain
envelopes, without any printing upon
them. Write without fee and without
fear to DIR. r. V. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N Y.

Secretary Gage is engaged in the task
OF ascertaining whence the funds are

the extraordinary expenditures when
the army was smaller and the problem
Of how to meet the cost OF $4,000 addi-

A Plain Duty.

Every patriotic Idahoan will welcome
the returning soldier boys with glad
heart. The government took them
from the state and it returns them to
San Francisco. The state should paw
their way to their homes.
1t is true when mustered out the gov
ernment will give them travel paw to
their homes, but vhat will they have
when they reach their homes? DURING
their term of service the privates have
drawn only 1880 per month, and any
Savings out Of that allowance must be
small indeed. When the volunteers
reach San Francisco and discard their
Manila khaki suits and buy citizens
clothes which they will need to wear
home, they will have no money; they
will return penniless to their families.
4 IL Is TOO late now to raise money by
private subscription to charter trains
Tor their accommodation, but it is not
900 late for the state to pledge itself to
Ihe repayment OF all travelling ex-
penses from San Francisco to the re-
sPective Holmes In Idaho. II the next
Legislature will do this the money re-
funded may be to many of the bows a
sort OF pension, and more accepta Bile TO
their needs than it will be TODAY. II ia

much for its heroes.

UNIVERSAL PEACE UNION.
Its President Says the Philippine War
Is Cruel and Unrighteous.

MYSTIC, Conn. Aug. 23.-The Bird
annual meeting of the Universal Peace
Union and the Connecticut Peace
Union, opened at the Peace temple
here today and will continue through
the week. President A. II. Love, oil
Philadelphia, was in the chair, and be-
tween 500 and 600 members were pres
ent. Letters Of regret were read from
a number of prominent persons, among
them being Andrew ID. White, chair
man OF the American peace commits
sion at The Hague.
The feature Of this mornings meet
ing was the ANIMAL report OF President
Love. Touching upon the subject OF
the Philippine rebellion, President
Love in his report said the war is not
only cruel, but 1t is unrighteous and
opposed to our professions of liberty
and the avowed policy OF our own
country.
