Open Publicity the Best Guaranty
of Merit,

When the marker of a medicine,
sold through druggists for family use,
takes his patients fully into his con-
fidence by frankly and fearlessly pub
fishing broadcast as we'll as on
it's bottle wrappers, full list of ali
its ingredients in plain English, this
action on his part is the best pos
sible evidence that he is not afraid to
have the search light of investigation
turned full on his formula and that it
will bear the most thorough investi-
CATION. DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Pres
cription for the cure for weaknesses,
periodical pains and functional de-
fragments of the organs distinctly
feminine, is medicine put up for
for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, 1.-THE maker of
which takes his patients into his full
confidence by open and honestpu
ty.
A glance at the published ingredi-
ents on each bottle wrapper, Will show
that it is made wholly from native,
American, medicinal roots, that 1t
contains no poisonous or hablt-form-
ing drugs, no narcotics and no aIco-
hol-pure, triple-refned glycerlne, OF
proper strength being used instead OF
the commonly employed alcohol, boln
for extracting and preserving the ac-
tive medicinal properties found IN the
roots of the American forest plants
employed. If interested, send name
and address to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buff

tracts from the works of eminent med
ical writer's and teachers, endorsing

Rrnss pin 1n Her Appendix.

Drs. Hipp of Chicago and Peacock of
Darlington, Ind, recently performed
an operation on Mrs. Quincy Peterson,
living at Kirkpatrick The operation
was for appendicitis and was very diff
ficult owing to the abnormal displace-
ment of the appendix. which had slip
ped up under the liver IN a vertical po-
sition and was about twice its normal
size in length. In the appendix was
found a common brass pin, which had
caused a perforation. Another case OF
this kind is not known in medical sta
tistics, it is said.

TIME CONTROLLED LAMP.
Georgian Has Invented Combined
Lamp and Alarm Clock.

A resident of Georgia has invented
combined lamp alarm clock, which
is so arranged that the lamp will be
automatically lighted when the alarm
goes off. The lamp is of the center
draft type and in the central sleeve is
a tube which carries a plunger with
match in its upper end.
The plunger rests on strong
spring. which is held under tension
by trigger connected with the alarm
mechanism. When the alarm is
sounded the trigger is sprung, and the
match is forced up against the wick of
the lamp. In its course the match is
ignit9d by friction and the lamp is
thus lighted. The value of this de-
vice when the alarm is for some hour
of the night or early morning will be
appreciated. 1t is often desirable in
the sick-room that the attendant be
awakened to administer medicine at
certain hours of the night without dis
turbing the patient. In such case the
bell of the alarm may be muffled, and
the trained attendant can depend on
the sudden fash of light to awaken
him at the proper hour. Scientific

DREAMED OF A FIGHT.
LOwndes County Man Has Desperate
Struggle in His Sleep.

A prominent groceryman of Lowndes
county had rather exciting expert

result, is wearing one of his feet in a
big slipper with poultices and stick
ing plasters encasing it. In his
dreams he had a struggle with burg
lar, the intruder having entered a
window of his room.
The struggle became so real that
the sleeper jumped from his bed and
tried to kick the burglar out of the
window. The result was that he lac
Grated his foot and leg on the glass
and framework of the window. At
this iuncture he woke up and found
himself bleeding from numerous
wounds.
The citizen is total abstainer and
he can account for his dream only as
result too much barbecue.

To Limit Divorces.

Judge McEwen of the Chicago cir
cuit court advocates law limiting tn
number of times person may be di-
vorced to two and prohibiting the mar
riage of persons who has been twice
divorced. When man or woman
has been divorced twice, he says, it is
pretty good evidence that such person
IS untitled to be a husband or wife,
and two divorces should put them out
of the game of marriage. He also
favors the payment of alimony to
the woman in all cases, since that
would tend to lessen the desire of the
man fer another wife, for business rea-
sons. and increase the probabilities
of a reconciliation.

A FREAK OF THE EARTHQUAKE
Portraits of Founders OF Stanford
University Were Unframed.

"OAO
Myrtle Garrison, describing, in the
National Magazine for June, the
wreck OF Leland Stanford University
by the earthquake, cites the curious
fact that almost the only works of art
not totally ruined we're those repre-
senting the founders and their son in
whose memory the university was
built Memorial court" she writes,
lis now mass of broken stone, in
the center of which, standing like SEN
tinels viewing the wreck, remain the
massive statues of Senator and Mrs.
Stanford. More remarkable yet, IN
the great Stanford museum, where
more than five hundred beautiful and
costly paintings were ruined, the only
canvases quite unframed were the
portraits of the Stanfords. And the
memorial room of the Museum, con-
tanning the personal souvenirs of the
Stanfords, was the only portion of
the big building that escaped injury.
Taken altogether, there is something
almost uncanny in this exemption of
the founders from the general destruc-
ton that cost the university over ten
million dollars of loss in money, to
say nothing of the irrecoverable loss
of works of art.

HURRAH FOR KANSAS.
Woman of Suntiower State Knows a
Man as Well as Success.

Woman of Sunfiower State Knows "a
Man as Well as Success.
A Boston firm offered prize of
5000 for the best answer to the ques-
ton, "What constitutes success?"
According to the New York Examiner
the winner was a Kansas woman, and
her answer is worth quoting. She
says: He has achieved success who
has lived we'll, laughed often and
loved much; who has gained the re-
spect of intelligent men and the love
of children; who has filed his niche
and accomplished his task; who has
left the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy. per-
feet poem or rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth S
beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in 9th
ers and given the best he had; whose
life was an inspiration; whose mem
ory benediction.

AMERICAN BURRos DRow NED.
Didn't Have Sense Enough to Get in
Out of Rain.

Some time ago the insular bureau of
the war department embarked upon
the experiment of sending into the
Philippines few American donkeys,
known as "burros," for use among
the Spanish speaking people. Mail
advices from the islands now state
that seven, or about half of the con-
signment, we're drowned in the torren-
tial rains of the wet" season, the
animals being caught out in the open
and not knowing how to shelter them
selves like the native beasts of bur-
den. The natives, who were little
afraid of the animals, declared that
the burros had drowned because they
did not have sense enough to come in
out of the rain.
