It keeps the prospective mother in health and strength and makes the baby's advent practically painless.
 CLAIMS vs. CURES.
 It is very much easier to make claims than to make cures. It is by it's cures "Favorite Prescription " is to be judged and by the multiplied testimonies to these cures given by the grateful women who have been restored to perfect health and strength through the use of this great medicine.
 "About five years ago had very poor health," writes Mrs. s. E. Whalet, of Holden, Johnson Co.,, Mo. "After doc toring four years with our town doctors they gave my case up; said they had done all they could. I had been con- fined to my bed half my time the other half could hardly drag around. I had such pains iu my back and abdomen I could not stand on my feet for more than few minutes. My feet were cold or burning, and my periods cause too often. The doctors said it was change of life, so, as had heard of Dr. Pierce's medicines, my husband got me bottle of 'Favorite Prescription I took it and 1t heiped ne Ill some ways, so [ wrote to you and followed your advice. I commenced Favo-ite Prescription,' Golden Medical Discovery aud the Pleasant Pellets as l was so consti. pated all the time and pills would weaken inc so that I would have to go to bed To the great surprise Of every body got well, and wien I met my friends they would say never thought you would be here now But can say 1t was your medicine, which no doubt ie the best in the world. Have no use for doctors since tried your medicine"
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is purely vegetable preparation and can. not disagree with the weakest constitu- ton. It contains no alcohol and is abso. lute1y free from opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.
 Accept no substitute for Favorite Pre-. scription if you wish to be cured al others have been. Insist upon the remedy with a record for the cure of weak and sick women.
 Women suffering from disease in chronic form are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, Ji-ee. All correspond. ence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential and the written condolences of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy ob- served in personal consultations.

view, states that the published letter of j.
j. Hill In explanation of recent transac-

the purposes of the Northern Securities
Company would not in any way influence
the action which has been contemplated by
the state officers of Minnesota.
General Douglas declined to discuss the
subject-matter of the letter at this time
He said: II have read it very carefully and
with much interest and If 1 were entirely
free in the matter would be glad to ex-
press my views. which, I will admit, are
very positive on the question. But, con-
siderfng the position in which / am placed
by reason of my official obligations l con-
slider that 1t would be highly impolitc for
me to enter into any discussion of Mr.
HIS letter at this time"
Asked whether he would accompany Gov
Van SAINT to attend the projected confer
ence of governors at Helena. the attorney
general said that was still uncertain. He
had promised the governor, he said that
he would go il he could so arrange the bus
mess Of his department as to permit of his

TARIFF WAR IMPROBABLE
GERMAN ATTITUDE TOWARD UNITED
STATES.
Opposition to the Proposed Increase
of Duties of Foodstuns-Georg
GOthein's Views.

1t is not probable that Germany will
ever begin a tariff war with the United
states, says United States Consular Agent
Harris at Eibenstock in a report to the
department of State, dated November o.
The subject which interests the German
press most in connection with the new
German tariff bill, says Mr.. Harris, is the
probable effect it will have on the renewal
OF commercial treaties in 1903. He states
that the sentiment is almost unanimously in
favor of first reaching an agreement with
the United States and using this as basis
for concluding treaties with. other nations.
Our foodstuffs and manufactured goods
says Mr. Harris, have gained such foot
hold in Germany that it will be difficult
matter to dislodge them. Mr.. Harris
quotes from an essay of Georg Gothein,
member of the reichstag and Prussian
diet, in which the latter said: 1T would
certainly be very gratifying If America
could be induced to lower her tariff; but
1t is very doubtful If a tariff war is the best
means of achieving this end As long as
a modus vivendi may be reached, il is al
ways better not to go to extremes. In spite
Of the fact that the great majority of our
complaints against the American tariff are
justified, it must be borne in mind that the
Americans have no reason to be satisfied
with the treatment which they have re-
cetVed at our hands"
Continuing, Mr. Harris says that many
ardent advocates Of the proposed new tariff
for the German empire point to the success
of the United States tariff as the best ar
gument in their favor 1t must be remem-
bered, he says. that there may be a vast
difference between the workings of such
tariff in various countries. There is no law
OF economics, says Mr.. Harris, which will
justify tariff on foodstuffs.
Duties levied on products necessary for
human nourishment-the very fuel which
ha loir -.af1 20
in the cost of production and restriction In
the power of consumption"
Quoting again from Mr.. Gothein in re-
gard to the influence which the new tariff
viii exert upon the preparation of CONNER
clal treaties with other nations, 1t is stated:
The new tariff. even if it should become
a law as outlined, must be looked upon as
failure. for the reason that other coun-
tries will increase their tariffs accordingly
thus rendering more than doubtful the
probability of concluding commercial trea-
ties. Above all. 1t is in the increased du-
ties on grain that the greatest danger to
the conclusion of these treaties lies
