A Thirsty WOodchuck,

One of the best story tellers of his
time was Han Thompson of Auburn,
Me. The following Is what Han told
of what he and his brother John tried
to do in the way of catching q wood
chuck: They had tried quite number
Of times to capture the animal, but IN
successfully. At last they decided to
drown him out. So, procuring four
pals, each took two, and they carried
water for two solid hours and poured
it into the hole in the ground in which
the said "chuck" had taken up his
abode. Getting tired, they sat down.
After about half an hour the wood
chuck cautiously left the hole and de-
liberately walked down to the brook
and took long drink of water. and
then scooted, much to the disgust of the
two boys.-Boston Herald.

Eminent Doctors PraIss lis Ingrsdisuts.

We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as DR.. Pierce'S
FaVorite Prescription.
Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial staff
of THE ECLECTIC MEDICAL REVIEW says
of Unicorn root (HetOniGs Dtoicd) which
Is one of the chief ingredients of the VA
Vorite Prescription
IA remedy which invariably acts as a utter
Inc invigorator makes for normal &C
tivity of the entire reproductive system. "
ment which moro fully answers the above
purposes than any other drug trtth trhich d0s
acquainted. In the treatment OF diseases Pc
culiar to women it is seldom that q case Is
seen which does not present some indication
for this remedial agent" DIR. Fyfe further
says: "The following are among the leading
indications for HeloniaS Unicorn root. Pain
or aching in the back. with leucorrh9a:
atomic (weaD conditions of the reproductive
organs OF women, mental depression and ir-
rJtabillty. associated with chronic diseases of
the reproductive organs OF women const ant
sensation of heat i'll the region of the kid

cnCd condition OF the reproductive system;
amenorrh9a suppressed or absent monthly
periods J. arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition OF the digestive organs
and an;emic thin bloody habit: dragging
sensations in the extreme lower part OF the
abdomen"
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no invalid woman can do
better than take DR.. Pierce'S Favorite
entS of which is Unicorn root, or HelOnias,
and the medical properties of which it
most faithfully represents.
OF Golden Seal root, another prominent
ingredient OF uFayorite Prescription"
Prof. Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., OF Ben
nett Medical College, Chicago, says:
"It is an important remedy in disorders OF
the womb In all catarrhal conditions
and general enlightenment. it is useful"
Prof. John NJ. Scudder, NJ. D., late Of
Cincinnati, says of Golden Seal root:
yin relation to its general effects on the
system. there is ne medicine In use about lrhfch
there is such general undnfmtty Of opinion. 1t
is uniUersdtiy regarded as the tonic useful in
all debilitated states"
Prof Bartholow, M. D., of Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal:
"Valuable in uterine hemorrhage. menor-
rhagia (1ooding) and congestive dysmenor-
rh9a painful menStruationl"
DR.. Pierce'S Favorite Prescription faith
fully represents all the above named in
gradients and cures the diseases for which
they are recommended.

EX-SENATOR THURSTON
SCORES BROKERAGE BILL

This is the most drastic measure Of
it's kind ! have ever seen" said ex-Sen-
ator John NJ. ThurstOn. speaking of
Senate bill 1915. providing for the amend
ment of the District code relating to in
terest and usury, at hearing before the
District Commissioners today.
The proposed bill is one to prohibit a
greater charge than 10 per cent interest.
including all attorneys fees, brokerage
charges. etc, on loans of any descrip-
ton. and makes the convicted violatOr
subject to criminal prosecution.
This provision Of the bill Mr.. Thurs
ton condemned as being a step back
ward In stead of curing the evil of
usury he declared. il would result in
driving the legitimate broker out of busi-
ness and encourage in their place a
horde OF loan sharks. who would carry
on their transactions under cover.
Robinson White followed with sub
stantiaIly the same line OF argument in
opposition 10 the proposed bill.
