THE MODERN STORE.
It Has One Department Little
Known to Customers.

The great department store OF our
time has one department usually un-
visited by customers, and yet very
essential to the good OF the store.
1t is the hospital department. The
hospital is a feature of the equip
ment of the great modern depart
ment stores, because experience has
proved its advantages. 1t is not
more a mark OF humanitarian pro-
gress than OF commercial sagacity.
1t is not there for the benefit of Gus
toners, though its use would not be
denied them. 1t is there for the
benefit of the clerks. a majority of
whom are women, and these women
are those who almost exclusively use
the hospital. 1t is not an uncommon

The Scarcity Of Nitrate.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
For months there has not been such q
shortage of nitrate In the local market. The
supply at the powder factories not only
threatens to give out, but as a fertilizeft
for which the article is extensively used.
nitrate from the Chilean ports has sudden~
ly become exceptionally scarce. A large
consignment was expected by local dealers
on the German steamer Herodot. last Of
the Kosmos liners to arrive from the south,
reaching port the past week, but only 400
tons were received. Inquiries for several
times that amount were being made long
before the Herodot came from the south
ern coast, and now the expectations Oh
dealers and consumers alike are turned toe
ward the British bark Pharos, long Ovefs
due from Iquique, which Is believed to have
a cargo Of about 1900 tons aboard. The
Pharos is now out seventy-five days from
the nitrate port and should have reached
port a month ago.
A consignment Of nitrate may be receive
ed by the steamer Santiago, due Saturday
from ,ValparaiSo, but there Is no likelihood
that the vessel will bring enough to satisfy
the demand. Other nitrate vessels expect-
ed to bring nitrate to this port include tho
British ship MylOmene. now out twenty
DAYS from Iquique. and the British steans

A PLUMBING DECISION.
Status Of Steam and Hot Water Pipe
Filters.


The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived q letter from Walter ]. Wheatley,
requesting a ruling as to the status OF
steam and hot-water pipe-f1tters In regard
to plumbing work. and especially In regard
to certain work done by Peter ]. May Mr.
O. L. Ingalls,, the inspector Of plumbing,
has reported to the Commissioners that
the inquiry originated in the removal of
hot-water kitchen boiler. used for domestic
purposes, from an upper floor to the base
ment Of premises 21OO 4th street northeast
The water pipe connections to this boiler
were made, it is alleged. by Mr.. May, an
unlicensed plumber, who, In Mr.. ingalls,
opinion, clearly violated the plumbing resu-
lations, and, he says. Mr.. May would have
been prosecuted had it not been for lack
of evidence as to date and other details
Mr., ingalls, says that the work done was
clearly that of plumbing and should have
been performed by a registered plumber or
his employe, as provided for in the act Of
Congress approved June 18, 1S9S He says
further that in all new houses the plumber
provides a connection at convenient place,
controlled by a valve or stopcock for the
service of hot-water boilers, and he says
that no objection has been made to q
steam-fitter connecting the boiler at the
point designated. When no such provision
exists then, Mr.. Ingalls, thinks, that it is
clearly the right Of no one but a registered
plumber or his employees to make the re-
Quisite connections.

over the question as to whether aff1liating

thing for the young woman en-
plOye of the store to sink down eN-
hausted. or to drop fainting to the
floor. Her shopmates promptly care
for her. and she is assisted to the
store hospital where she may rest
and have the needed restoratives.
WOMEN TIE SUFFERERS
While the existence of the store
hospital points to the sympathy of
the management with its employees,
it also emphasizes the weakness of
the women for whom the hospital is
established. Women who work
must be prompt and regular in their
duties or they are not wanted. The
back NAV ache, every step may jar
along the spine until the head throbs
pitifully. The reaching up for a box
OF gloves or the STOPPING to pick
something from the floor may cause
acute pain, but the woman behind
the counter must hold on until she
drops, and she generally does. Then
comes the hospital, brief rest, and
some palliative for her present pain.
Next month she may repeat the
same experience; for it is noted that
this liability to physical collapse
among women is much greater at
certain periods. The hospital is good
in its place But what these women
need is health. sound health. And
sound health for them means the
cure of those womanly diseases
which are the primary cause OF the
physical weakness such women feel.
There is a cure for womanly dis
eases which has the testimony of tens
of thousands of women to its perfect
and permanent nature. 1t is Dr.
Pierces Favorite Prescription, the
medicine which makes weak women
strong and sick women well.

NO NEED TO BE SICK.
For the majority of women there
is no need to be sick with womanly
diseases. The figures show that out
of every fifty women suffering from
diseases peculiar to their sex forty
nine are cured by the use Of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Even
the one woman in fifty for whom
no perfect cure is possible is bene-
flied by lessening of pain, and an
increase of strength through the use
OF this great medicine for womanly
ills.

An Adverse Recommendation.

Chief Engineer Dutton has recommended
that the District Commissioners take ad-
verse action on the application Of w. T.
Mahorney, a retired member OF the fire de-
partment, for an increase of pension from
$40 to $50 month. Mr.. Dutton says that
Mahorney was retired November I, 1901,
on a pension Of $40 a month. that amount
being recommended because in the opinion
OF the department his conduct therein had
not been such as to entftle him to the maxi
mum amount Of $50 month.

THE BEST MEDICINE FOR WOMEN.

DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription
can lay claim to being the best medi-
cine for women without fear of CON
tradiction. 1t is best because it con-
tains no alcohol and is entirely free
from opium, cocaine and all other
narcotics, which give only tempo
rary relief from pain. 1t is the best
medicine for women because its
cures are radical, going to the root
of disease and establishing perfect
and permanent health. To these
claims the women themselves are the

Accommodation to the vast hordes of the

In speaking OF his work in Morocco he

acquaintance with the language of the peO-
pie and lack OF resources for the practical
side Of the work. He said, however, that
he had been followed constantly with prov
idential assistance, and that he would re-
turn to his chosen field in October.
He described how the missionary work
is carried to the extreme provinces. He
and his colaborer 1ourneyed among the
tribes, pitching their tents with the no
madic people and mourning dangers Of
many kinds. He told how once, when they
had. gone some distance from the city of

of all they had. The brigands reViled them
as dogs of unbelievers, and their death
was demanded. They asked time to pray.

sermon by Rev. JOshua StansfieId at
Meridian-Street Church.

The Rev. Joshua Stansfield, of Meridian
street NJ. Z. Church, last night, used for
the subject of his sermon "Life's Real
Battle" He said the real battle of life is
the fight of faith. God calls every one to
the highest things" said he, but the lack
of faith prevents men from attaining them.
The world is always challenging youth.
The college graduate who is going out to-
day TO take up a calling. either business or
professional, finds his powers challenged.
But he has it in his own hands to feather
his nest we'll, and if he have the faith
and take hold he will succeed. The fight of
faith is always an inward conflict. The
real fight is whether or not a man will be
true to himself. We are what we believe.
We profess to believe many things that
we do not believe. The fight of faith, then,
is a fight of the individual for personal
faith or an opinion"
He said the many different ideas con-
corning the observance of the Sabbath are
opinions and do not represent faith. If a
man had a personal faith in the %sanctity
and holiness of the Sabbath, he said, he
would not be tempted by Sunday excur-
siOns and other pleasures. Every life may
be measured by the ease with which it
resisists or yields to evil. "When tempta-
ton and evil has found expression in man..
said he, faith in him becomes dulled and
he is lost. If a man is so overcome with
the power of evil that he may yield to
we'll nigh dead, and when faith is gone the
man, in asmanner, is dead"
