promises only happiness ends in disap-
pointment and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy That's the way it begins. AZ
ter a while she finds that ii takes all her
strength to care for her home. Then
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into a chair many
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky SO
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL TIME
in many a woman's life comes Just at
this period of Encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
OF the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
curaDle on the evidence OF women VINO
have been cured.
"Four years ago my health began to
fall" writes Mrs. Nellie NJ. Reycraft,
of Glepwood, Washington Co., Oregon.

1t is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
women's use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull the. pain.
But they do not re-establish the lost
womanly health. rFavorite Prescrip-
ton " is a purely vegetable preparation.
1t contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. It cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution.
1t establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals infamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness.
IT IS woMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have som coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by "Favorite Prescription" Is a
witness to the real economy of this

The War Department and the
Bridges.

1t was a far-sighted ind. as events
have proved, eminently successful
policy to place the supervision and pro
te :tion of our natural waterways and
harbors in the hands OF the War De
partment. Before bridge can be
thrown across nayigable river, estuary
or strait, before cert ain piers can be
run out into harbor beyond certain
bulkhead lines that have been laid
down, it is necessary to obtain the per
mission of the War Department. In
safeguarding the interests of river
traffic, so far as it is affected by the
erection Of bridges, it has been the OBJ
ject of the War Department to see that
no supporting piers are built in mid
stream that will materially interfere
with navigation, and that bridges are
either built at an elevation which will
allow shipping to pass without hind
rance beneath them, or that they are
provided with drawbridges Of sufficient
span to allow shipping to pass through
without danger Of collision. So also
with regard to harbor piers and bulk
heads, the War Department has ey-
ercised a jealous care that certain lines
which they nave drawn as marking the
limits of the harbors are not encroached
upon by docks and landing piers Had
it not been for the professional fidelity
with which our military officers have
performed their respective duties, in
calculable injury would have been
wrought to the shipping interests OF
this country, both inland, river and
deep sea, by the obstruction of water
ways and by destructive encroachments
upon the deep-water area of our bar-

Of the superstition deep rooted in hu-

is survival of the old pagan belief that
display of happiness was likely to ip-
cur the envy of the gods and to draw
down the visitation of the malice which

Purification of Water.

The Journal of the American Medi- cal Association is discussing sand til- tration of public water supplies in series of articles of unusual interest. The first filter of the mechanical sort was installed in Lawrence, Mass, in 1893. That city had had a high ty- phoid rate, and sand filtration was adopted in the hope that the rate could be lessened. Lawrence contains about 63,0OO people and the water they drink is taken from the Merrimac river. which flows in Massachusetts through a thickly settled district. The sand filter lessened the typhoid rate at once, reducing the number of deaths on account of it from 12 in every TO-, 900 people to 26. In Albany, New York. sand filters reduced the number of deaths from typhoid from S4 year to IS.
 An approved filter plant of the best and most modern design has been in stalled in North Birmingham, and when the Cahaba plant is completed the water supply of this town will be as well filtered as the water supplies of Lawrence or Albany, or of any other town. The method is widely applied in Germany, and wherever it has been tested 1t has given good results. The cost of sand filtration Is about eight dollars million gallons of water, and the expense will not be at all burden some if this town can be freed from the dangers of typhoid. It is cheaper at any rate to filter the water than it is to conduct a typhoid epidemic For tunately there is very little typhoid this year. and before the typhoid months come again all the water used in this city will be filtered.
