WASTE

That old copybook maxim finds its
most forceful application in the waste of
vitality, which is called "burning the
candle at both ends" A woman is
often tempted beyond her strength by
domestic or social demands. Some day
she awakens from this waste of strength
to the woeful want of it. She has be-
come weak, nervous and miserable.
For weak, nervous, rundown women,
there is no better tonic and nervine than
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
restores the appetite, quiets the nerves
and gives refreshing sleep. It cures
local diseases peculiarly woman]y which
undermine the general health. 1t makes
weak women strong, sick women we'll.

Very Expensive.
New York; Aug. 25.-The John w.
Gates crowd is said to have lost 49,.
100000 in his unsuccessful attempt to

and Iron company.
When Gates began buying up the
stock of the Colorado company it was
for the purpose of securing control
and then turning it over to the United
States Steel company at an advance
of a few millions.
Owing to the opposition Of Robert
E. Osgood. chairman of the board of
directors of the Colorado company,
Gates was unable to secure control,
although he had 100000 shares of com.
mon stock. Now the stock Is on the
toboggan, and Gates can't get out.
