A woman makes her toilet with care and
content. But in bad health il often
happens that the qualification Of being
we'll attired is lost. There is hardly
strength to brush and dress the hair, and
there is small courage to make the effort
to keep up appearances.
Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

them we'll The common cause Of fetu-
mime weakness is found in diseased
condition of the womanly organism

ularity, dries embedding drains, heals
inflammation and liberation, and cures
female weakness. The tonic effects Of this
medicine are remarkable; it sootl1es the

Economy 10 Advertising.

If you could meet your entire
trade personally and could explain
to each the merits Of all your diff
ferent goods you would not need to
advertise. You cah't do this. AS
q matter Of econon you advertise
toll the people hat you have
for sale. Each Jar. additional
business will result. It makes it
easier to do business, less work and
worry, more satisfaction all around
If you are Satisfied with just
excepting store" don't advertise.
If your blood is red, if you want to
grow, if you feel satisfaction in
being a leader in your line, adver-
tise. Do it right Make it fea-
ture of your work, not a side issue,
and the cash assets at the end OF
each year will surely determine
the value Of advertising. --Printers'

SLOW COUNTIES
STRIKE A SNAC
Full Fare or Walking to st.
Louis COnfrOntsTho Who
Are to Travel Officially
DELAY is CENSURED
Chances Are That Mails Will
Soon Carry Applications
for Many LOw-Rate Tickets

Two severe contingencies would seem
to threaten the representatives of at
least one-third of the entire number
of California counties that will have
exhibits at the st. Louis Exposition
They may either be compelled to walk
specimens or to pay the full rate Of
fare TO ST. Louis That at least is
the situation as it stands to-day. To-
morrow evening Commissioner Filcher
will depart for st. Louis, unless some
thing happens to prevent After he
goes there will be no one remaining
in California TO certify to the trans
continental railway people in behalf of
the county representatives who wish to
go to st. Louis on official business in
connection with exhibits.
1T isn't my fault" said Commissioner
Filcher yesterday afternoon. II have
written repeatedly to the county COM
mittees having in charge the prepar-
ing of county displays for st. Louis
Many Of the committees have been
dilatory. In a recent letter sent out
from the office of the California COM
mission notice was given that the 18th
of March would be the final date for
making application for transportation
at a reduced rate, for it was supposed
that the headquarters would be closed
by the 18th.
There is only one more full day
now for any one to apply for a certifi-
cate before we close up here. Then it
will be necessary for the counties that
still delay to send on to st. Louis and
the going and coming Of the necessary
letters will take up ten days of time,
and there is no time to lose now.
Perhaps the belated counties will
take advantage of to-day to make their
applications. If they fail the situation
is as described; their representatives
will be either compelled to pay full
fare, walk to st. Louis or waste much
valuable time waiting for the mails,
while the exposition is fastening to its
opening day."

Line Returns From East
and Sends Man to Orient
COMPANY WILL RESUME
Purser c. Lacey Goodrich Is
Dispatched on a Hurried
Mission Across the Pacific

William H Avery. general agent OF
the Togo Kisen Kaisha Steamship
Company and who has been in the
East several months, returned yester-
day, but departed on the oregon train
for Sacramento. Avery's return to San
Francisco has been anxiously awaited
by many who are interested in the fu-
ture of the Togo Kisen Kaisha Steam
ship Company, whose, vessels were re-
Gently appropriated by the Japanese
Government for service in its trans
port fleet 1t was reported recently
from the East that the company was
negotiating with the White Star line
for the purchase of several vessels to
take the places of the America Maru,
Nippon Maru and the Hongkong Maru
on the runs between this port and the
Orient 1t was admitted by Avery that
the company expects to soon have an
other fleet of steamships operating be-
tween here and the Orient, but he de-
MED that the vessels would come from
the White Star line, although intimat-
ing that the company had obtained
options on a number of good boats on
the Atlantic and one or two in Oriental
waters.
Yesterday Avery telegraphed ahead
to this city to c. Lacy Goodrich, for
mer purser of the steamship America
Maru. who had been staying at the
Palace Hotel, to Immediately prepare
for trip to Japan, and, following these
instructions, Goodrich went up the
road yesterday to meet Avery and last
evening the purser started for Seattle,
where he will catch the steamer sail
ing Monday. Avery accompanied Good
rich as far as Sacramento for the pur-
pose of instructing him in the purposes
of his mission. According to report
circulated last evening, Avery who has
unlimited authority to act for his COM
pany. has already secured one steam
ship in the Orient and has dispatched
Goodrich to the other side to arrange
for bringing the vessel over TO this
port. The only statement that Avery
would make in connection with this
story was that his company is pre-
pairing to resume business between San
Francisco and the Orient and that 1t
would probably have its first new
steamship here within the next forty
days. The company will continue to
operate it's vessels in conjunction with
those of the Pacific Mail under an old
agreement, which has been extended.

REMARKABLE INCREASE
IN USE OF SMALL COINS
Bill Before Congress Provides for
Coinage of Nickels and Pennies
at All Mints.

A bill of considerable interest to
business men of the Pacific Coast is
now pending before Congress. remov-
ing the restriction of the coinage of
nickels and bronze coins to the Phila-
delphia Mint. The bill has passed the
Senate and has been favorably report
ed by the House committee, which
practically assures IFS passage.
This will permit the coinage of
nickels and bronze coins at the San
Francisco Mint and thus prove con-
venience to the business public of this
coast in securing these minor coins in
such quantities and at such times as
may be desired. Superintendent
Frank A. Leach states that this coin
age will not cause any great addition
to the working force of the Mint
A statement prepared by Thomas
Burns, cashier of the sub-treasury
here, shows a wonderful increase in
the circulation Of these minor coins
on this coast within the last seven
years. In 1897 the assistant treasurer
paid TO the public s36,1e5 in nickels
and $4522 in pennies. During 1903
these amounts were increased to
$11O, 400 in nickels and $15,765 in pen
nies, showing an increase in the cir
culation of these coins of nearly 400
per cent. In addition several thousand
dollars worth of these coins are an
nually shipped to Manila.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine. while
on a recent Western trip. was dining
one evening in Pittsburg restaurant
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper>and no.
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's S
Dyspepsia Tablets. AS he himself was
regular user of the tablets, he began
speculating as to how many of the
other travelling men in the dining
room were also friends Of the popular
remedy for indigestion.
He says: 1 counted twenty-three
men at the tables. and in the hotel Of
flee 1 took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine Of the twenty-three made a prac-
tice OF taking one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been Obliged
to quit the road. but since using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been
entirely free from indigestion, but he
continued their use. especially while
travelling, on account OF irregular'ty
of meals and because. like all travel
ing men, he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health. said he never ate a meal with
out taking a Stuart Tablet afterward
hecause he coIlId eat what he nIaasad
and when he pleased without fear of
a sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs.
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe
remedy he has ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had former
ly used common soda to relieve the
trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer TO use.
After smoking, drinking or other
excesses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to a healthy, wholesome condition so
effectually is Stuart's Tablets.
