cussed the question of removing the

According to. a report from Rouen,
France. to the State Department Gy
Consul Haynes, the present labor
troubles in the coal mines in France
may be utilized by coal mine owners of
this country for the extension of the
American coal trade in France. lie
says that the troubles there are practi-
cally unceasing and he suggests that, if
roturn cargnes can be found for tho
coal-carrying vessels, the business may
be found to te very profitable. In this
connection he says that there are vast
deposits of gypsum in France, and he
urges its purchase by American dealers
for the purpose of supplying the return
cargos. As an Indication of the extent
OF the French coal market, Mr., Haynes
says that the gas works of Paris con
sumo moro coal than any other gas
works in the wcrld, amounting to
!, 200, 600 tons annually, considerable
part of which is imported from Great
Britain. He says that gypsum of the
finest grade can be procured at Rouen
at the rate of about sl.50 per ton.

Nature "m.kos all tbings beo,t;,,

Nature ''makos all things beautiful
in their time. y Every one Of life's
seasons, when life moves on Natures 8
lines, has its own charm and beauty.
Many women dread that period when
they must experience change Of li.o.
They fear that face and form may suffer
by the change, and that they may fail
to please those whom they love. Tho
value Of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription in this crisis OF woman's
life lies in the fact that it assists
Nature. Its use preserves the balance
and buoyancy Of th , mind and sustains
the physical powers. Many women
have expressed their gratitude for tho
help and comfort given by "Favorite
Prescription" in this trying period. Its
benefits are not passing but permanent
and con1uce to mental happiness as
veil as physical strength.
