~ HE modern theory Of disease lays
much stress on the disastrous
work Of inflnitesimal invisible
agencies which prey upon the
body. To their overthrow and entire
annihilation all the forces under the

as If there were in the realm of the in

pestilential microbes or baciIli or

WIRES
OF POSTAL TELEGRAPH AND CA,
Bile LINE MAY BE STRUNG
ON TELEPHONE POLES.
New TranseontinentaI Line kegotiat-
ing With Rocky Mountain Bell Tel
ephone Company For Use Of Its
Poles Between Cheyenne and Salt
Lake-Passes Through Laramie.

Within forty or sixty days Salt Lake
will probably have a new telegraph
service to compete with the Western
Union, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
William II. Baker, vice-president and
general manager of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company, and +. j.
Nally. general superintendent, are now
in Salt Lake making arrangements by
which the company will be operating
in this city within the mex six weeks.
1t is understood that the company
has made an offer to the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone company to pay
Z per cen of the gross cost of the lat
ter's lines for the privilege of putting
a cross-piece on each telephone pole
between Salt Lake city am Cheyenne
and Salt Lake and Butte.
Messrs. Baker and Nally are stop
ping at the Alta club and Mr.. Baker
was interviewed last night. In answer
to questions he said that he and Mr..
Nally were just looking around and
preparing to make arrangements to
extend their line from Cheyenne here
and from here on to Butte. I'VE shall
then have a trans-continental line
said Mr.. Baker. and declined to make
any further statements.
In case the offer made by the Pos
tai company to TIE Bell Telephone COM
pany should not be accepted the new
telegraph line will not be in here till
the beginning of September, but the ar
rangement outlined above will enable
them to be in operation in sixty days at
most. 1t is thought that there is ev-
cry probability of the deal going
through.
Neither of the gentlemen mentioned
above would discuss the statement
coming from the east of a combination
between the Postal and the Bell Tele-
phone people, and the Western Union
and the Independent telephone com
panies. Mr.. Nally and Mr.. Baker were
guests of Judge Powers at a dinner at
the Commercial club last evening.

Industrious man. The genius hobo had
a good breakfast and then started in

the day fishing afterward. He sawed

rNV the CrOWn or anticipates
dI,s3 t,I1 this coronation, when
- there is a lack of womanly
strength to bear the bur
dens of maternal dignity and duty.
And how few women come to this critical
time with adequate strength. The rea-
son why SO many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because they are
u~nprepared. Is preparation then re-
quired for motherhood? asks the young
woman And every experienced mother
answers-vYes." "I unhesitatingly adj
wise expectant mothers to use Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription" writes
Mrs. Stephens. The reason for this
advice is that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong a wona may be,
she canno use vFavorite Prescription
as a preparative for maternity without
gain of health and comfort. But it is
the wome who are not strong who best
appreciate the great benefits received
from the use of eI'avorite Prescription"
For q thing its use makes the baby's
advent practically painless. 1t has in
many cases reduced days of suffering to
a few brief hours. 1t has changed the
period of anxiety and struggle into a
time of ease and comfort.
ALCOHOLIC TONES.
A great many women feeling the need
of a tonic take a cocktail, whisky, or
what is just as bad, some widely adver-
tised tonics or compounds which contain
q large percentage of alcohol. Doctor
Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to be
entirely free from alcohol or narcotics
made Of roots and herbs which cannot
harm the most delicate system but have
a wholesome, life giving, tonic effect
upon the system. TONES made largely
Of alcohol interfere with the digestion
of certain foods, and as doses increase
the alcohol absorbed gets into the blood
and shrinks the red blood corpuscles.
As the blood feeds the nerves the nerves
get improper nourishment and the
mother becomes nervous. As the nerves
suffer so does the skin.
Better stick to a health-giving tonic
that has in the past third Of a century
sold more widely than any other.
WHAT G. DOES.
We are told that wine is better when
old we know that most people have
more confidence in a physician of ma
ture & VINO has had large experience !;

ton" of DIR. Pierce, that has proved its
worth by the continuous large sales in
