nave, been using your medicine I have
found it to be the most wonderful and
best remedy for female troubles that

It sometimes happens that the dealer
tempted by the little more profit paid
by less successful preparations, will try
to press substitute upon the customer,
claiming that uit is Just as good as
Pierce's." 1t is well to remember at
such time, that the claims of superb
oTity made for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription do not rest on mere words,
but upon cures. Thousands of weak
women made strong and sick women
made well testify to its superiority over
other put-up medicines for women.
THE BIBLE OF THE BODY,
is title which has been aptly applied
to DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser. In plain English it points
the way to wo1nanly health and happi-
ness, and fully discusses and illumiuates

KNOX FOOTBALL STARS
END THEIR COLLEGE DAYS

Martin and France, of the Knox
football eleven, have left college, Mar
tin going to his home in Lennox,
Iowa, and France to Decatur, Ind,
where he expects to engage in dem
tistry. Their leaving so soon after
the football season has created much
comment, in view of criticism by out
siders. President McClelland and
Coach Mclean both say the two men
entered for regular work, paid their
tuition and gave assurance that they
would remain in college until they
completed their schoo' work DIR.
McClelland says the faculty is strong
ly opposed to professionalism, and
neither man received salary.

HEALTH FOR WOMEN.
The use of DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Pre-
scription has brought health to thou
sands OF hopeless women. If you are
sick 1t will almost surely bring health
to you. In all the hundreds of thou

needs and requirements of the body.
All its effort was to guide the heart and
mind The body might stumble along
anyhow, and it generally did.
Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded
young girl has had her first doubts of
the goodness of Providence come: n
through the door of physical suffering.
vWhy must suffer in this way?" she
asks, "Why does my back ache, my head
throb and my side pain, so that am
fain to creep away into darkened
room and forego the pleasures which
belong to my season of lfe?"
NO ANSWER COMES
as a rule to these questions. The young
woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She is told it is a part
of the burden laid upon wome-, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
This is all a mistake. Proper train
ing, proper physical care would many
times prevent these miserable condi-
tons. But in any case, however dis
tressing the present condition, it can be
cured by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription, if it is disease durable
by medicine.
rI write few lines to thank you for
your advice and grand remedies, to
which I owe my health, and perhaps
my life," says Miss Flora I. Greer, of
10Y Howe Street, Akron, Ohio. "AIy
trouble started during my childhood,
but did not prove serious until 1898,
when met with an accident caused by
horse running away. From that time
1 did not see a well day. l suffered at
every monthly period with terrible
headache, irritation of the spine and
pains in my heels so could not bear
them resting on the softest pillow.
What suffered pen could never de-
scribe. I had soreness through my
hips and ovaries all the time and con-
slant backache. Was afraid to be alone,
imagined that every one hated me, and
everything looked like mountain.
One doctor would tell me one thing
allied me, another would say something
altogether different, but they only re-
heved me. / then wrote you in April,

Old-faShiOned Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old-fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. "Be good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sore1y puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi.
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was undefled. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

Horses began ia western America,

the form Of animals hardly higher than
domestic cats, whose remains are
found in the Wasatch beds Of Eocene
time. Later on, in the form Of meso-

stature Of sheep, and showed consider

time the protohippus was developed,
and it not only attained a great size,
but had skeleton $50 iiks that of a

change from the protohippus to The

Pliocene. Yet "the true horse in the
restricted sense of the term (species
Equus caballus) was not developed in
North America, and appears never to
have reached this continent until
