and flesh of their heshl And who can depict the hopelessness and dejection that hover about the home where the wife is incapable of becoming notherf Barrenness proceeds from some derange- ment of the distinctly feminine organs. Many of the common ailments known as "ferrlale troubles" cause it. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription overcomes barren ness by stamping out diseases of women, and by healing and curing Liberation. It tones up the system, stops drains, and restores strength. During gestation it modifies morning sickness, gives elastic ity to the overstrained parts concerned, makes the hour of baby's coming short and almost painless, and gives wonderful recuperative power to the patient. By making the mother strong and cheerful, it makes the little one healthy, vigorous and good natured. Insist upon the med icine dealer giving you Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription when you ask for 1t. Substitutes are often dangerous.

ITS WONDERFUL EQUIPMENT.
Japans Preparedness for Relief as Complete as that for War.

The matchless equipment and prepared ness of the Japanese at the front Is almost eaualled by the measures which they have taken for caring for the families of Killed or disabled sildiers. There ia no lack or relief for those dependent on the men who fought under Oyama but 1t is administered with the care and painstakng oversight demanded by modern philanthropy,
 Most picturesque of the relief work in towns and villiges is the Secret Flowing Society of the Young Men of Tokio. In the Women's Work Furnishing Society the sew ing and washing of soldiers clothes is provided as the means of earning l1vli- hood and the work of taking care of young children is also carried on.
 Moreover, the manufacture of straw san ada (tape) and that of kyogisanada (shav- ings tape) are made not only the means of furnishing work to the soldiers families. but also the means of advancing local indus tries and of offering a means of livelihood to the poor at large. Thus the work of relief has ceased to be a mere work of re Jeff. but has become the means of encourag- ing industries in various localities.
 That which most recently has made a very remarkable progres in the work Of relief by furnishing employment Is found in the relief society in the city of Osaka, The society has to supply clothes for sol diers, and 1t has arranged for soldiers families to start stores in the reserve hos pitalS to meet the ueHdnus or tne patieutS in them.
 To furnish as much work as possible the endeavor is made to supply out of home made articles many of the things needed in the army. and in the marine products labor atory of every prefecture. and In both public and private factories of canned goods preference of employmentis given to the soldiers families and some special in
 crease of wages Is promised them More over in certain sections where articles needed in the army made and supplied,
 special favors are offered to the soldiers
 families In describing the work of relief 1 through employment, a few words must he | added about the arrangements lately started

There has been something like a mix.
MULTIPLICATION OF TERMS. The Chicago Chronicle in all serious ness remarks:

Beginning with old John Brown of Osawatomie and continuing down to Mrs. Carrie Nation ot| Wichita, the State of Kansas has produced and main- tained a steady and unbroken line of advanced thinkers whose equals nave not arisen in any other commonwealth of this union.
 For the good name of the American people it Is ferventlyl to be hoped that the equals of this pair may not be found in any State of the Union, now or hereafter. We do not know what other specimens would be included in the "unbroken line" to which The Chronicle refers but the two mentioned are as much as any State should be saddled with.
 We know that 1t is the habit in some quarters to look on John Brown as hero and a martyr. who lost his life in a holy cause. and much other rot of a like kind, but those who look at his history and his acts from the stand- point of common sense and common humanity view him differently. To them he is merely a murderous crank, to whom it would be a compliment to apply the name of anarchist, who would have precipitated the most horrible of possible rebellions, merely to gratify his love for race which was much bet ter of then than they have been since. That he was not a murderer on a stu pendous scalo was no fault of his, for his intentions were good -or bad-to | make a hell of the South. and all be- cause of his love for the negro. And who, in their sober senses. would ! call Carrie Nation great? She, too. has the murderous instincts of the anarch- ist, aIth ouga she as not as yet reached the point of dealing in actual assassi- | nation. To rave and riot over the coun- try. destroying the property of others. is as much the work of the anarchist as 1t would be to take the life of those who do not agree with her. She is a shame and a disgrace to American wo- manhood, and nothing but respect for her sex has enabled her to keep up her disgraceful performances thus long To speak of her and John Brown in complimentary terms as advanced thinkers" Is a dissertation.

A Dead Superstition.

| Mobile Herald
 In the old days, yellow fever was a mysterious terror.
 Its mere name throughout all the in- fected districts caused mans very soul to shudder.
 It was spoken only in low whispers. as though sound itself might attract the dreadful death. It was that most helpless of all ter rors-terror of the unknown.
 What reason failed to grasp imagina- tion supplied. and imagination infiamed by deadly fear creates tortures of which demons never dreamed.
 yellow feVer terror in the old days scared asunder all but the very strong est ties of affection and kinship.
 The dying were forsaken to die alone, and the dead deserted. Human nature was. as 1t were, cast into a fiery crucible and resolved into its fundamental brutal elements. Beasts could not be more beastly In their cowardice than human beings were in the old yellow fever days. It was. literally. "every man for him. self, and the devil take the hindmost," even though the hindmost might be stricken wife or child. There were marvellous instances of
 sacrifice and heroism, but they were exceptional. They only emphasized the
 fact that superstition makes towards
 and fools of nearly all of us. The dead, deserted by friends and
 kindred. were by public employees
 thrown into rude boxes or wrapped in sheets and carted off to burial at dead i of night. There were no mourners | following to the grave; no prayers; the | graveyard was a place of horror and l the roads to 1t were accursed Such was the force of old-time super
 stition. | Such was the weakness, the
 cowardce, the degradation of human
 nature. Today we know that yellow fever is not contagious, not even infectious. but | comes through mosquitoes. The | stricken and the dead may be attended
 with absolute immunity from the disease.
 | The terror which men have blindly | deserted their fortunes and their fami-
 lies to escape may be shut out by lit-
 tie netting.
 Upon such little things do the desti- nies of humanity hang. | The terror of the old day fed itself
 by fear the epidemic was immeasurably
 increased. Desertion of the stricken and
 the dead left them prey to mosquitoes | that imbibed from them the poison and | spread 1t among thousands | What a forcible illustration here of
 the world old truth all the plagues. the disasters, the afflictions, the sor- 1 rows of mankind are due to mans ignorance and superstitious fears.

TUESDAY. AUGUST IS. 1905.
THE PILGRIM MOTHERS.

We lately read of 6 matter of fact old preacher who said that he was sor- ry for the Pilgrim Fathers, but much sorrier for the Pilgrim Mothers. for mot only were they obliged to endure the same hardships. but they had also endured the Pilgrim fathers"
 There is a large consignment of conn mon sense in the old fellows way of looking at 1t. No doubt the early set tiers on and about Plymouth Rock had an unpleasant time of it during the first years of their pioneering. The climate was inhospitable, the country wild erness, and the inhabitants soon be- came deadly enemies. though for that they had themselves to blame. They might have made friends of the na- tives. just as William Penn did. by kindness and justice. but instead of that they adopted and maintained a system of overbearing intolerance which nos savage on earth would sub init to. and by this method made i'm placable enemies where they might have made friends.
 But no matter what might have been the mistakes or wrongs of these plo- ueers. there Is no doubt about the hard times they had Trying to subdue the wilderness and force a living from an unwilling soil, building houses to shelter themselves from the rigors of the climate. always going armed to work or to church, their life was hard one, beyond a doubt even If they were to some extent to bame for their con- dition.
 And yet, when we look at 1t impar- tfally, we must admit that the women must have had a harder life than the men did. They. too, had to do share of the hard physical labor which al- ways falls on the women pioneers They had to endure the inhospitable climate, the scarcity of food and clothing. and the constant danger from the Indians Daily and nightly they were in dread of attack from enemies who knew no mercy, and their lives must have been an almost constant round of care. toll and hardship.
 And besides all this, these women as tho preacher puts 1t, also endured the Pilgrim fathers" and we are of the opinion that that was about the hardest burden they had. Those men who came over on the Mayflower were undoubted- ly hard hearted set In religion they were as stern and unbendinR as Crom- well himself. and in their daily lives they had all the narrow hardness of the Puritan faith and practice. Their be- liefs. their training and their habits made of them about as uncomfortable specimens of humanity as we can well tmagine. When we remember that these Pilgrim mothers had to live with such mon and endure their ways in ad- dition to all else that came to them daily and hourly we can well feel sym pathy for their condition, and wonder how they lived through 1t. Those were hard lines for women. for a fact.

COLD KILLS THE GERM.
Lieutenant Perry Says There Are No
 8aId Heads in the Arctic Region.

The people who come back from Klondike testify to the fact that no native bald heads are there. The evil dence is that the cold climate kills the germs that eat the hair off at the root. Lieutenant Perry, who went to the Arc tic Regions. gives the same evidence, Newbro's Herpicide has the same eff feet as the cold climate, It kills the germ that eats the hair off at the roots, and the hair grows again. Her picide is the first hair remedy built upon the principle of destroying the germ that eats the hair off Its phe- nomenal sale demonstrates the correct ness of the scalp germ theory.

The most thoughtless. irresponsible kind of single man becomes a verftabie model of amia- bility after he gets him a wife. I suppose his wife has so drummed good manners into him that he has to keep practicfng all the time to keep in trim I believe business men have more respect for a married man, to- They succeed better in everything they do.

The Solution.

Alexander City Outlook. s.:..
 There is but one solution to the farming conditions in this section of the South The big land owner and the cheap laborer must be eliminated to some extent The thrifty small farmer who depends largely on his own efforts and who can cultivate every foot of land on his own domain, grow food products and raise cattle and make cotton a surplus. will make the old south the garden spot of the world. This change of conditions will come, and in less than twenty years there will doubtless be a large foreign ele- ment in this section from which to draw our farm labor.

Material For a Man.

 the town of Eufaula young Tom Irby was bitten twice by a large mocasin. His companion. young Eli Shorter, inn mediately applied his mouth to the wounds and sucked out the poison thereby saving his friends life in the opinion of the physician who was later summoned to attend the wounded boy The coolness and courage of this ac- tinn stamps young Shorter as the kind of material from which a true and great man may be made. young boy who noasesses clements of character which prompt him to act with such quick and well directed effort in an emer- pency which would excite and alarm most grown men not only shows him self to be a hero but also to possess a nature and disposition which reflects tbe truest type of American manhood. If he will continue to show that same spirit of unselfishness and willingnesss n do A duty and the same grasp of unexpecte demergencies he can and will grow into a well rounded manhood and five a life which will make it's impress upon his duty and generation.

WHY so MUCH FUSS AND FEATH-
 FRS.

The Alabama Press Association could not listen to a speech from MT. Conner at Sylacauga, but went down to Coden and bile and Ohio Railroad. Why so much fuss and feathers on this particular oc- the Association in one of its meetings to go into such rhapsodies or raptures or ructures about men or monkeys.
 The above from The Southern Home, published at Livingston, is likely to create a wrong impression. MT. Rus sell is the highest official in Alabama of the road from Mobile to Coden. It was originally built under his auspices The Alabama newspaper people were treated with great courtesy by the road and when Mir. Russell went to O. den, one day while the Association meeting was going on, he was given very hearty welcome. There was no reference in anything said on the occa- sion to railroads. or railroad rates or politics. In addition ho had not been billed by the people of Coden as one of the speakers at the press meeting. they leaving the matter of speakers and their subjects to the proper officers or the Association. Is this a case like that of Sylaoauga. where 1t was announced that MT Corner was to address the Az sociation, and whether 1t was cor rectly stated or not, 1t was published that he would have subject. which is now a matter of olitics? There was no politics and nothing bordering on 1t, in the simple recognition of Mir. Rus sells courtesies by the press. Couli tho same have been said if MT. Conner had male the speech at Sylacauga, which 1t was publicly announced he was to make?
