The first lesson that the young girl has

She learns to know what headache means,
and backache, and sometimes IS sadly
borne down by this new experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a time
may. IN almost every instance, be entirely
prevented or cured by the use of Doctor
Pierce's favorite Prescription. II estab-
fishes regularity. It tones up the general
health, and cures headache, backache,
nervousness and other consequences of

The anxious mother of the family often
times carries the whole burden of RESPONSE
bility so far as the home medication of
common ailments of the girls or boys are
concerned. The cost of the doctor visits
IS very often much too great At such
times the mother Is invited to write to DR..

modified degree
The extreme weariness felt by
many persons upon getting out OF
bed in.the morning is often largely
due to the unnatural position in
which the body reposed during the
night; the muscles have become
strained. and, worse than all else,
the lungs have abored all night
long without sufficient fresh air,
thu result being that the blood is
poisoned by the gases and the
whole system is debilitated.
Beds which are too soft, springs
which sag and too many soft
pillows all help to throw the body
in an unnatural position. Heavy
quilts and overheated rooms cause
restlessness and consequent twist

positions. A room kept at rs OF

Bowser Hits a Fog

Mr.. Bowser after brief look at

Womanlike she asked a dozen
other questions but he surrounded
himself with wall of mystery and
refused to make any explanations.
When he departed for the office
she took the morning paper and
went through it almost line by
line to see what had attracted his
attention, She found three bur.
glaries. one elopement, two divorce
cases, two railroad accidents, three
domestic scandals, one police raid,
fifteen political lies and thrilling
account of blind horse running
away and fatally injuring bald
headed man, but nothing that
should have seemingly aroused Mr..
Bowser to action.
All day long she expected men
to arrive with new miloh COWS,
halfgrown hogs. Cochin. China
chickens, patent fire escapes,
spring tonics, burglar alarms
and electric ash removers and as
no one had appeared up to 6
o'clock her anxiety had almost
passed away
When Mr. Bowser came home
he said nothing further and the
matter broaohed at breakfast had
almost been forgotten when he
observed:

The Denver News, for money con
siderations, found the large depart
,nent stores the proper caper until the
past ten days. Now such stores are
injurious. And still Tom Patterson
insists that money considerations have
no bearing on the policy of the paper.
II department stores are an injury to
the specially stores, and tend to drive
out the little fellows, why is it the
News has not been championing the
cause of the little fellows in the past?
Surely such a patriotic sheet as the
News would not pander to the big de-
Dartment stores simply on account OF
patronage, as the management says
patronage has no bearing on honest
criticism? Perish the thought of the
