day, if you are sick from diseases which
af1ict women.
The treatment of many thousands of
those chronic weaknesses and Distress
ing ailments peculiar to females, at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, has afforded a vast ex-
perience in nicely adapting and thor
oughly testing remedies for the cure Of
woman's peculiar maladies.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
the outgrowth, or, result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands
of testimonials received from patients
and from physicians who have tested it
in the more aggravated and obstinate
cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be a superior remedy for the
relief and cure of suffering women. It.
is not recommended AS acure-all,"
but as a most perfect specific for wom-
ans peculiar ailments.
AS a powerful invigorating tonic, it
imparts strength to the whole system
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For over-worked, "worn-
out" debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, 7" shop
girls" 5house-keepers, nursing moth
ers,s and feeble women generally, g Fa-
vorite Prescription is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequaled as an
appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
AS a soothing and strengthening
nervine, "Fayorite Prescription is
Eunequaled and is invaluable in allaying
and subduing nervous excitability, irri-
liability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms,
chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other
distressing, nervous symptoms COM
monty attendant upon functional and
organic disease of the womb. It in
duces refreshing sleep and relieves
mental anxiety and dependency.
A prospective mother cannot begin
! too early to look after her own health
and physical condition. This is sure
to be reflected in the baby. Any weak
ness or nervous depression, or lack of
vigor on the mothers part should be
overcome early during the expectant
time by the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite

feet health and strength of the organ

added it's. conditions of -ever-present
suffering to a large proportion Of Amer
lean women. The great bulk of such
cases is due to infammatory or con-

and, indeed, often results in nervous

Kuropatkin Tells
How He's Going

st. Petersburg, Sept. z. - The en-
peror has received the following is
patch from General Kuropatkin:
1.-THE army is advancing northward.
1t has extricated itself frcm the dam
gerous position in which it was placed,
being threatened by the enemy and
having a narrow front.
1.-The enemy throughout the day can
nonaded our rear guard, and especially
its left flank, but without much etfct.
1--WE lost about 10 men today
1t is stated that by the end of Octo-
Der the Fourth, Eighth and Thirteenth
army corps, totaling 192, 900 men, will
reach the front, and that before the
end of September 100 guns will have
been dispatched to General Kuropat.

1t is officially announced that a por-
toin of the Russian force remains at

the bulk of the Russian army is assem-
bled.

Kuropatkin Is
Closely Persued

St. Petersburg, Sept. 6.-It is re-
ported at late hour that General Ku-
ropatkin's rear guard has almost been
annihilated, and that the main Russian
army is in imminent danger of being
surrounded.
The London Daily Mail prints dis
patch from Sinminting, giving report
that General Kuropatkin's retreat has
been cut off.
The dispatch goes on to say that the
Russian troops had advanced in strong
force to the southeast of Mukden as far
as Japing hill, to oppose any possible
attack in the direction of their ad-
vance.
A Chinese official who arrived from
Mukden says that the Russian troops
are leaving for the north; that there
are lO, 800 men 10 miles to the east of
the city; that the officers and men have
been discouraged and much sickness
prevails.
A summary of the war situation to
date shows that the Russian army, or
at east the main portion of it, is al
ready above Yentai station and is push
in on toward Mukden.
Field Marshal Oyama's entire army
has crossed the Taitze river and part
of it hanging on to Kuropatkin's flank.
A strong thanking column on the east
is pushing rapidly north in an effort to
head off the Russians.
Against this column General kuro-
patkin has sent out strong cavalry
division to the northeast. which it is
believed is already in position to check
the japanese f1ankers, while to the
westward Kuropatkin is moving div
ision toward Sinmintin, 30 miles west
of Mukden, to meet any interference
that may be attempted from the direc-
ton of Yinkow or Newchwang. Oya-
ma 3 advance is reported to be engage
ing the Russian rear, but it is not ex-
pected to develop anything more SER
ious than series of rear guard actions
tending to harrass Kuropatkin's re-
treat.
The Japanese have thrown strong
flanking column across the TaitZe river
at Benitzu, about 30 miles northeast of
Liaoyang. This column is hurrying to
northeast and endeavoring to get in
between the Russian lines and Mukden.
1t is against this movement that ku-
ropatkin has dispatched Lieutenant
General Rinnikampf with strong Cos
sasck division, which, is believed is
already blocking the eastern highroad.
Kuropatkin has three roads over
which he is marching toward Mukden,
besides the double tracked railroad.
The latter is chiefly occupied in the
transportation of guns and equipment,
of which there is great quantity.
The soldiers are marhcing in light or
der and most of the wounded have al
ready been dispatched north by rail.

Origin of Vaudeville.

The word vaudeville" which now
means play in which songs are intro.
duced, is corruption of Vaux de Wire,
the names of two valleys in Normandy.
A fuller in Wire, In the fifteenth cen
tury, composed some humorous and
satirical drinking songs, which were
very popular throughout France, under
the name of their native place. "Naux
de Vire." The terms seem to have
been corrupted into voix de vile. A
collection of songs was published at
Lyons in 1861 entitled "Chansons Noix
de Ville," and another Mt Paris in 1916
called "Recueil des Plus Bellies Chan.
