II Stands Alone.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription
stands alone, as the one and only remedy
for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro-
lapsus, or falling of the womb, so aoso-
lutely specific and sure in curing these
common ailments of women as to war
rant its makers in offering to pay, as
they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward
for a case of the above maladles which
they can not cure This is a remarkable
offer. No other medicine for the cure
of woman's peculiar ailments IS backed
by such a remarkable guarantee. No
other medicine for woman's ills is pos
sessed of the unparalleled curative pro-
perties that would warrant its makers
In publishing such All offer; no other rem
edv has such a record of a third OF
century of cures on which to base such
a remarkable offer.
Miss Emma Weller, who is Secretary of the
Young Peoples Christian Association, at 1913
Madison Avenue, New York City, says "Your
'Favorite Prescription is boon to SICK ana
tired women for it cures them when other med
icines fail / know whereof l speak, tor have

the far West and would be much less
in the East. 1t is considered that the
team and labor are employed at the
current rates; but as teams and men
are already employed on all farms,
this cost is far in excess of what 1t
would actually cost the farmer. Ac-
cording to the preceding estimates it
would cost 81 cents per tree with
hand power and g cent per tree with
gasoline power. The additional cost
of spraying to the fruit grower would
be about 1 cent per tree with hand
power and about " cent per tree with
gasoline power.

Any fruit grower can estimate what
these spraying solutions will cost him
by finding what these chemicals cost
in his section The cost of the pre-
pared lead arsenate is prohibitive for
a commercial orchard, but in case of
home orchard of but few trees it saves
a large amount of labor and is much
used in such cases.
When it is desired to use fungicide
with any of these solutions the arsen-
ates are added to the Bordeaux mix
ture in the same proportion as it
would be added to water.
Cost of Spraying.
The cost of spraying is practically
nothing when compared with the bene-
fits derived. AS in other lines of work,
exact methods and cutting off every
unnecessary expense will reduce the
cost considerably. The estimates Civ
en- herein are based on data obtained
in the field when spraying operations
were in progress. The spraying of
1000 trees once is taken as basis for
calculations unoer Western conditions.
In localities where labor and material
are cheaper the cost will be consider
ably lower.
Hand-power spraying outfits can be
purchased and put in working order
for from SIS to SIS. The gasoline
power outfits can be purchased COM
plete for from $3.50 to $500. A hand
power sprayer, if used for arsenites
alone and given good care, ought to
last five or six years with but few re-
pairs, and the gasoline sprayer can be
made to last as long. By using the
engine for purposes other than spray
ing it can be made to pay for itself.
The principal cost of spraying is the
labor, as the material is comparatively
small item. The cost of spraying
1000 8-year-old trees in the West once
with arsenite of lime with soda using
21a gallons per tree is as follows: :
Hand-power outfit:
Man and team days at $3.50. .$14.00

Misplaced Sympathy.

New Orleans ItmeS-Democrat. Out West, a few years ago, while jour neying around with friend of mine, l overheard a conversation which goes to show that sympathy Is often misplaced, said the rowing man, and the moral IS not by any means bad one. The quicK way in which the man turned on his friend, who had offered him an abundance of sympathy, so far as sympathy can be extended by mere words, was very anus ing and showed that the fellow was quick witted and unusually bright. despite the fact that he had fallen into rather rough road.
 1.-The young man had been out west for some time. He had gone out there With the idea that he could win fortune, but instead of finding the way to success a smooth one, it was rather rough and rocky, marred by thorns to prick the feet, pitfalls and all that kind of thing. Put in plain, unpnetic language he was run down at the heel and ba gging at the knee. In order to make a living he had been forced to become a pie merchant on a small scale. He was in this business when we found him, and had small movable stand on the corner of two streets in a well known mining town. My friend recognized him at glance. and rushed up to greet him. The fellow seemed to be just a little embarrassed, and my friend thought 1t would be the proper thing to do offer little sympa-
 '' Sorry to see you situated as you are old fellow, and in thls 5Isiness.' said my friend feelingly.
 D. your sympathy. Buy a pie was the quick retoinder of the vender and in few moments we had left him shreking out his wares 70 men who pass ed that way.
 At least he convinced my friend that there are moments In a mans life when the mere sympathy of the mouth, no mat ter how earnest or how fervent the words, can not meet the equirements of the case, and that the real and only way to offer help in such instances IS to buy a nie"

elsewhere One night last winter a Sem ator and his wife had invited twelve of the most prominent men in both houses of Congress, with their wives, to din- to receive notes reading 'I am very
 sorry, but my husband has just re-
 ceived an invitation to the White House l and will have to withdraw his accept ance from your dinner tomorrow night. It so happened that the President had made out a list of people he wanted to
 dine with him, which included also al-
 most every man that had wanted to at~ | tend the Senator's dinner, including tha
 host himself. The Senator's wife sums moned every available man she could get | hold of over the telephone in order td | fill the vacant places at her table. Only two nights ago two members of
 the Cabinet were expected at Q d1nne1 given in honor of the Russian Ambassaa | dor, when the President summoned them | to dine with him. One of them frankly
 told him his predicament and was ex- cused. The other withdrew his accept
 ance to the first invitation. A certain Senator had promised to take dinner last Sunday afternoon with some old friends who had invited half a dozen people to meet him Exactly three hours before dinner time he received an invitation i from the President over the telephone, and was obliged to write an explanation
 to his frinds and ask them to excuse
 him.
 Not long ago one of the new members
 of Congress was requested to select tho
 guests and fix the date for e dinner giv-
 en in his honor. He did both. but the
 dinner was without him. He was invited
 to the White House and had to go there instead.
 Of course the President does not know anything about the embarrassmsnts and disappointments that he causes, but if things get much worse a new rule will have to be adopted and he win have to include in his invitations the YordsI "If no previous engagement prevents"

velopment of the State. The people of Monaco have the good sense not to gam ble for themselves, and no citizen, save on one day a year, may enter the Casino. If men from other lands, with more money than brains, choose to lose tnelr brains and leave their money in Monaco, ,'' the native argument seems to run, we have nothing to do with 1t. At least, we will use their money well and wash our hands of the channel through which 1t comes."
 All this profit is over and above the ac- tual expense of running the Casino itself, which foots ID to nearly $5,0OO,000 a year. It cost, for instance, about $205,O00 for the item of the theatre and orchestra f; firemen and the maintenance of gardens eat up $100,0OO more, and opposite to such suggestive entries as grants to the press" and to Bishop, clergy and edu- cational institutions are set down the sums of $l00,OO0 and S45, 900 respectively The lighting and water. supplies drain the revenue of the tables to the extent of $95,0O0, and the prizes the authorities are called upon to offer at 'carnivals, races, pigeon shooting and other amuse- ments, absorb another $55 900 How much 1t costs to dispose of the persons who are so inconsiderate as to shoot themselves after run of bad luck at the tables is not set down in the lists, but this is probably covered by the contingent fund, for which thousands of dollars are ap- propriated each year.

Fifty years ago. when the Caslno at Monte Carlo was first opened Monaco was on the verge of bankruptcy, an ln- signifcant miserable little prlncipanty' with no assets worth mentioning and no future The turn came suddenly when the Prince of Monaco one day accepted an offer of 100000 francs from Francols Blarc, the chief of European gamblers for inc privilege of opening and oper- ating the Casino as gambling nall. Money literally flowed into the coners or Francois Blanc and his 1elloW conces- eiinaries from the day the places were opened and has continued 10 ho" ever
