many thousands of women during q third
of a century speak louder than mere
claims not backed by a guarantee Of
some kind. That is the reason why the
proprietors of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription are willing to offer $500 re-
ward for women who cannot be cured.
Such a remarkable offer Is founded on
the long record Of cures of the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar TO women II
there is an invalid woman, suffering from
female weakness, prolapsus, or falling
of womb, or from leucorrhea, who has
used Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
without complete success, the original
proprietors and makers Of that world
famed medicine would like to hear from
such person-and il will be TO her advan-
tage to write them as they offer, in per-
feet good faith, a reward of $500 for any
case of the above maladies which they
cannot cure. No other medicine for
woman's ills is possessed of the unpar-
alleled curative properties that would
warrant it's makers in publishing such
an offer.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
in Preserving Health and
Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char.
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfeetant and purifier in nature
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the moro
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal swetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effeetually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi.
tion of the general health, better com.
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauy of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad.
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom.
aeh and bowels, and to clear the com.
piexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; also believe the liver is

A mothers worries are many. She
eometimea forgets her own bodily dis
comforts because Of her overpowering
love for the child. She becomes broken

feels tired from morning until night.
Many mothers OF experience can tell you
that at such a time they have been re-
tleved, benefited aud strengthened and
put into proper health by taking pre-
scription which their mothers had told
them was the only womans tonic to be
taken at such times. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi-
able reputation for over a third Of a cen
tury. In all that time Il has sold more
largely In the United States than any
other tonic for woman's needs, and to-
day lis sales are greater than ever. DIR.
Pierce made up this prescription from
roots and herbs without the use Of a
particle Of alcohol or narcotic and for
the single purpose Of curing those dis
eases peculiar to women aud when there
is a lack Of womanly strength TO bear
the burdens OF naternal duty. How
few women come 20 this critical time
with adequate strength. The reason

cover the remedy for the great deficit

The only item here included which
! can cause controversy is the last, re-
lating TO postmasters salaries. There
are about $4,000 postmasters at whose
offices money orders are issued A
considerable proportion Of their labor
and a still greater proportion Of their
Ipecuniary responsibility is caused by
the money order service, and handling
the funds pertaining thereto. II there
were no money orders these postmas-
ters salaries could hc charged 20 the
money order system, hut to be- abso-
lutely safe and fair within due
bounds this estimate only charges 10
per cent Of their aggregate compeu-
sation to this service.

a tride over S30OO,0oO, it is clearly

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
What the Small Money Order Nuisancl
Costs the People.

The postal laws Of the United States
explicitly direct that the accounting
officer shall correctly ascertain and
annually report all the expenses of the
money order service-that is to say,
the total cost of issuing and redeem
ing postal money orders.
Unfortunate this mandate of law
has never been complied with. One
reason is that the clerical force of
the Auditors office has always been
sufficient--another is that some of
the items entering into the cost Of
money orders can only be apprOxA
mately ascertained 1t is impossible
however, for those who know the in.
side workings of the department to
collate through official reports and re-
liable estimates all the money order
expenses, and this has now for the first
time been done under the auspices
Of the Sentry Box Bureau.
The following statement showing
the cost o. the money order system in
the post office department, covering
the real expenses of the issuing and
redemption of the orders, is made
from official reports so far as they go
and from conservative estimates of
urTeported expenditures:
