1t is much easier for a woman to cor,hde
IN the average man than in the average
woman. She knows that the man will re-
| spect her condolences and keep them to
himself. He is strong, has more experience
of the world and can help the woman who
needs advice. There is every reason why
women should not trust their delicate
constitutions in the hands of unskilled
persons. 1t requires a thorough medical
education TO appreciate and understand
the woulanly organism. When a woman
has Ills and pains that she cannot bear
when life seems dark for every woman,
she should confide her troubles to a
physician of standing in the community,
or one who has a national reputation. Ger
talnly it would not be the part of wisdom
to conhde in an ignorant person without
medical education simply because she was
a Doma". There is every reason why she
should write to some great sHecialist, one
who has made the diseases of women a
specially for a third of a century, like DR..
K. Y. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y.
All his correspondence is held sacredly con
hdential, and he gives his advice free aud
without charge.
So uniformly successful has DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription proven in all forms
of Female Weakness, P~rolapsus, or Falling
OF Womb, and I.eucorrhea, that, after curing
the worst cases of these distressing and
facilitating ailments, DR.. Pierce now feels
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
cash for any case of these diseases which
he cannot cure.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with rFavorite Prescription. wher.
ever a laxative is required.

SALARY GRAB IN CANADA.
Peoples Money cheerfulIy Divided by
Politicians.


The Canadian parliament has jusI
finished session of more than six
months. The last days were devoted
in part to a general increase in sal
aries, which was at first characterized
by the opposition as highly creditable,
but later, on more mature considera-
ton, was stigmatized as a salary
grab" Heretofore the prime minister
of Canada has received $4,000 per an
mum in addition to his compensation
as a member of parliament. The other
ministers received $1,000 each. The
members of the senate and house Of
commons received no salary, but got
a seasonal indemnity" of $1,000, and
20 cents mile for travelling expenses.
few days before the close of the ses-
sion bills were introduced and passed
to give greater compensation. The
prime minister Is to receive $4,000 a
year, besides his pay as a member.
The other ministers are left at the
present compensation, except that
they get $1,000 more indemnity" The
retroactive feature of the seasonal in.
demnity is liable to adverse comment
1t was this which created the greatest
uproar over the famous SALARY grab"
of 1873 in the United States senate
The dominant party in Canada does
not appear likely to suffer from these
measures, as they were cheerfully sup
ported by the leader of the opposition
and seem to have gone through prac
tically without any dissent-Louis

SANITATION OF CANAL ZONE.
Necessity of Work as Part Of the
Task We Have Undertaken.

But what about the two great 18TH
milan diseases, malaria and yellow
fever? Practically every other disease
can be obliterated by the supply of
pure water and the simple obedience
to hygienc rules; but these are of
different nature and demand more
radical attacks, says DR.. Albert r.
Hall in Reader Magazine. They are
both parasitic in nature; both before
they invade man, must pass through
an intermediate host, and that host Is
the mosquito, stegomyia for yellow
fever, and anopheles for malaria. Ono
should no longer doubt the essentially
important role of the mosquito. To-
day all scientists agree that to exter-
inmate the mosquito is to destroy
these diseases; that no other means
excepting this insect has been demon
strated as carrier Of either. Cling to
old beliefs as we may, we can render
the country free from epidemics only
by killing the host. And 1t can be
done here in Panama. 1t has been
done in Ismalia on the Suez canal.
1t has been done-to be sure, in more
favorable circumstances and smaller
area-in Havana. We must do it. 1t
will be an eternal disgrace to our gov
eminent If we shirk our responsibility,
for 1t Is as much part of our canal
project as is digging the ditch. We
are not commercial concern, cutting
highway between two oceans merely
for profit. II we are, better let out
the task by contract at once. But we
are a nation, the people of that nation
pay the taxes that supply the money
for canal construction, and we should
demand that this sanitary scheme be
an integral part. But 1t means work.
To take strip of land ten miles
wide and fifty long and to free It from
mosquitoes means brains as we'll as
kerosene, and money to back the
brains. It means destruction OF nasty
houses In Panama and Colon and the
filling IN of Shiny pools which to-day
render futile so much of tho effort
of disinfection. 1t means action as we
acted in Cuba, as Mexico acted at Ma
zatlan, as Japan acts to-day. There
must be no short-sighted policy OF
broken promises about It. The EN-
ployes must be protected at any cost
