DT. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and perseverance in its use will work won ders for the most hopeless woman. If Mrs. Newton, whose letter is given below, had not persisted in its use, she might never have known the happiness of perfect health. Perhaps the reason for her persistence was because she used . UFavorite Prescription as a "last re- sort.D Physicians had failed. IfvFavor- ite Prescription could not help there was nothing to hope for It did help. It always helps and almost always cures. It establishes regularity, dries weaken ing drains, heals inflammation and ulcer ation and cures female weakness. It imparts strength and elasticity to the organs of maternity and makes the bsby's advent practically painless.

Aroostook Co.,, Maine "Had been sick all winter, and, to add to my trouble was on the road to maternity which the doctor said would end my days I was almost discouraged; {; did not expect any help, but thought the end only matter of time, and-oh my two poor, little, motheriess children.

"A PERSONAL GRIEVANCE.

The Arizona Democrat, published in Phoenix says: We have person al grievance against NJ. H. McCord and would like to aid in his defeat" It then proceeds in the rawest man. ner imaginable to vent its personal spleen against him as follows:
 "In 1897 Buckley O'Neill, then Mayor of Prescott, Arizona, refused to allow McCord as governor, to have a public reception in his city, on the grounds that he was dishonest and unworthy. Mayor O'Neill wrote five columns in the papers at the time over his signature, and showed how McCord had aided in the refunding of certain fraudulent bonds on his coun- ty which had been declared void by the supreme court of the United States, wherein O'Neill stated that McCord and his gang had made a profit of S1, III, 900"
 The assertion that Buckley ONeill ever refused to allow Governor Me Cord to have a public reception in Prescott is not only a falsehood pure simple and unadulterated, without even a shadow of truth in it, but is 8 reflection on the intelligence of ont who gave his life in his country's ser vice. The editor of the aforesaid sheet should be aware, but evidently is not possessed of sufficient intelli gence to grasp the fact that if tho people of Prescott wish to give pub lie reception they cannot be restrain ed from doing so by their Mayor Aside from this Mayor O'Neill neve attempted any such autocratic pro ceedings.
 The next charge in the above iten is not only equally false with the frs assertion but equally senseless anC devoid of reason. When the fact tha the entire value of the bonds men tioned amounted to only little ove S2O0,OO0 even the editor of the Demo crat himself may possibly be able t realize the ridiculousness of the as sertion that Governor McCord mad a profit of about five times their tota value out of any transaction. Tn frankness of the aforesaid editor i saying that he wants to defeat Cover nor McCord's nomination as U. Marshal because he has persona grievance is sufficient in itself to de: troy any efforts made in that direC

Senator Hanna says he would rather secure an amicable understand ing and settlement between capital and labor than be president. An ex- change remarks that if the senator can bring about such amicable rela- tions he can be president without a struggle.
 An attempt was recently made to secure the passage of law by the Mexican congress, preventing the practice of medicine or the attempted cure of the sick by other than regu- larly licensed physicians. It failed of passage and the AngloAmerican speaking of it says: ''The Mexican congress very properly knocked out the attempt which was made to shut off the 'curanderos, a set of harmless individuals who cure people without a medical license. Some of these un- lettered and undiplomatized individu als who wear cotton pants and guara- ches can give cards and spades to more pretentious individuals"
 The Cubans have already com menced. to demonstrate their unfit
 ness for self government. They are
 now in the midst of their campaign
 for their first president. Palma and
 Maso are candidates for the position.
 General Gomez is a supporter of
 Palma's candidacy and in Puerto
 Principe province his meeting were
 broken up and he was stoned. Gomez
 is charged with being paid by the
 government and with being traitor
 to Cuba. It looks as though rebel
 lion would be in operation soon after
 the inauguration of their president.
 A Flagstaff paper thinks that an
 automobile line from Flagstaff to the
 Graud Canyon would attract great
 many tourists to that place, and the

 equipment. The broncho kind whicf , attempts to climb telegraph pole' and pine trees, and which leap ovel fences and into ditches, such as WI read about in the east would scarcel! be much of a temptation to try t reach the Canyon in as the thin; might take a notion to take heade

moss. But he doesn't paint the picture of the man whose tongue IS parched with fever, who tumbles and losses in his hot room and narrow bed while the bacilli of the bucket and the well are striving for his life. That wouldn't be a poetic theme, and he has nothing to do with a theme that is not poetic.
 As a matter of fact the old well and its familiar bucket have been the means of diseasing whole neighborhOods. The m;crobe is everywhere, and the easiest vehicle for its introduction into the body is perhaps the water we drink. We- can't keep the microbe out. We can prevent it's harmfulness.
 THE DANGER OF DISEASE
 does not lie in the strength of the microbe but in the weakness of the body. When the blood is impure the microbe has a vantage ground from which to operate When the blood IS pure disease fails to find a breeding ground, and the nlicrobe strives m vain against the man. Nobody can be healthy when the blood is impure Faint the blood and every organ fed and nourlshed by blood must share the talnt- Keep the blood pure and plentiful and the body is made strong to resist the assaults | of disease.

 Blight

It is a sad thing to see fine fruit trees spoiled by the blight. You can always tell them from the rest. They never do well afterwards but stay small and sickly.
 It is worse to see a blight strike children. Good health is the natural right of children But some of them don't get their rights. While the rest grow big and strong one stays small and weak.
