"A Good Beginning Makes
Bad Ending.

That saying seems to have been born
of the superstition deep rooted in hui
manity. 1t is akin to that other saying
Vie laughs best who laughs last" Per-
haps in these and similar sayings there
is survival of the old pagan belief that
display of happiness was likely to in
cur the envy of the gods and to draw
down the visitation of the malice which
is twin to envy.
1t would be ridiculous proposition to
affirm that bad is the necessary outcome
of good. But just as many day which
begins with cloudless sky ends in
storm, so many an event in life which

cured by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
1t is worth noting that these cures
are lasting Many medicines offered for
women's use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull the pain.
But they do not re-establish the lost
womanly health. uFavorite Prescrip-
ton is purely vegetable preparation.
1t contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. 1t cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution.
1t establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals inflamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness.
IT IS woMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have some coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by "Favorite Prescription is a
witness to the real economy of this
means of cure.
my health is the best now that it has
been for four years." writes Mrs. Phebe

BIG LOOT FOR THIEVES
Mail Sack Stolen Containing
100000 in Negotiable Pa.
per, Besides Cash.
NOT A CLEw TO THE ROBBERS
Who Had a Good Start of the Law
Pat Grove and the Cudahy
kidnapping Case.

Detroit, Dec. 20.--The Michigan
Central station at Wyandotte, suburb
of Detroit, was the scene of a bold
mail robbery some time Thursday
night, when a pouch containing, 1t is
estimated, 100000 of negotiable paper
and checks and an unknown sum of
money, was stolen from the waiting
room. Two sacks of mail and pouch
of second class matter were dropped
on the platform by a south-bound
Michigan Central train at 1928. Night
Operator Richer, it is supposed, took
the two bags, and instead of carrying
them to the ticket office, where the
mail Is usually kept allowed them to
lay In the waiting room. Richer lives
in Detroit. Richer was ignorant yes
terday of the fact that one of the bags
had been stolen until his attention
was called to it, first by Day Operator
G.. l.. Carl and afterward by an oil
peddler named Bessy, who found the
rified mail sack behind a tank belong
ing to the Standard Oil company,
about 200 feet from the station.
Mail Carrier Misses the sack.
Yesterday when Mail Carrier John
McCleary came to the station for the
mail sacks he missed one. About the
same time George Bessy, driver of
an oil wagon, reported at the station
that a pouch, ripped open and empty,
was behind an oil tank a short dis
lance from the station. The j. b.
Ford Alkali works is one of the prin-
cipal industries of Wyandotte, and
about the time of the finding of the
pouch two office employees brought in a
number of checks and opened en-
velopes they had found strewn along
the railroad track. Postmaster john
son, of Wyandotte, was notified and
went at once to the scene of the rob-
berry.
Could See the Trail Plain Enough.
The trial of the thief was marked
along the railroad track by strewn let
tiers, checks and drafts. Most of the
mail was intended for the j. B. Ford
Co., and force of clerks was sent out
to collect the letters strewn along the
track. The reason for this activity on
the part of the ]. b. Ford Co. was
that j. b. Ford. Jr.. said he expected
a draft from New York for $4,000.
The draft did not come, and it is be-
lleved that the robber or robbers took
1t with other valuable papers from the
pouch.

promises only happiness ends in disap-
pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins AZ
ter while she finds that it takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into chair many a
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL. TIME
in many a woman's life comes Just at
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
OF the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
durable on the evidence of women who
have been cured.
