Do You Open Your Mouth

Like a young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you?
Or do YOU want to know something of the
comnosition and character of that which
Won take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible people
nowadays insist on knowing what they
emDlov whether as food or as medicine.
DIR Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
nnblishes. broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper. what his medicines are made of
and yerifies it under oath. This he feels
he can we'll afford to do because the more
the ingredients of which his medicines
are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
For the cure of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, Irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging down pain or distress in

nanied. ofttimes, with a facilitating,

Prescription is a most efficient remedy
Tt is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength, to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system OF
the expectant mother for baby's coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and com
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre-
scriptionS is most potent, strengthening

It is also a soothing and invigorating

A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
The Famous Chained Library of
WimbOurne, Ireland.

The Famous Chained Library of
WimbOurne, Ireland.
Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knOwl-
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people in
1856 and numbers some 200 volumes.
The scarcity of books and the value of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft. By means of chains
and rods the books were securely fas"
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the Ii
brary fittings were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
is a copy of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleigh's History of the
World" 1914 1t has suffered from fire,
and tradition says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for it's condition, tie
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon time, and the
pages were burned by his candle. 1t
has been neatly repaired, and its mis-
hap now adds to it's interest. The old
est volume in the library is fine OLD
copy in vellum of "Reginum Aninna-
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343.

THE SAVAGE MORO
His Terrible ReIigio.:s Frenzy which
Riots In Murder.

Riots In Murder.
The Moro is savage, Il primal man,
a Malay, which is Il branch of one of
the oldest stocks of which we know.
He is subject when not under the in
fuence of a self contained ruler to
strange, murderous fits of insanity.
When a Moro, without effort on his
part becomes seized with a desire to
murder he is said to have run amuck,"
and at such times he will rush wildly,
slashing and killing every one he
chances to meet, even his own people.
When, however, he purpOsely works
himself into a religious frenzy it is
with the desire to kill Christians and
by the faith of the prophet ascend
forthwith into paradise The Moro in
this state of passion is said to be ''ju-
ramentadO." He has then taken a re-
ligious oath, perhaps administered by
some sacred "hadji'' who had duly
made his pilgrimage to Mecca. He has
bound himself up Sc that he suffers
eXcruciating agonies and through phys
icaI suffering is reduced to a nervous
frenzy. Having once taken the oath,
the Moro "juramentado" is doomed to
slay until at last he himself is slain.
The Moro is a Mohammedan, but he
has perverted the MQhammedan belief
until at times it is a weird grotesque
and terrible religion. In the heart of
the Moro there is no fear of death. 1t
is to him but an incident of life, and
his belief, as he has fashioned it, is
that he who dies in battle is cleansed
from sin and goes straight to the bos-
oms of the houris in paradise The
Moro's idea of government is force.
He has never known anything else. If
you are kind to him he thinks you fear
him. His world is ruled by fear, not
love- = Hamilton Wright in Leslie's

Business Is lIleuaI,

Columbus, O., June 13-Attorney
General Ellis in an opinion to Secre-
tary of State Leyden, has held that
the kind of business done by the U =.
S. Investors company, is illegal in
Ohio, and advised him not to issue a
certificate to it. The U. S. Investors
company is a New York corporation
and controls a number of subsidiary
companies engaged in mining, etc.,
the stock of which is subjected to
the payment of a share of its divi-
dends into pool out of which divi-
dends on the holding company's stock
are to be paid. Mr.. Ellis held that
this conflicts with the antitrust act.

SOUTH GEORGIA is
SWEPT BY CYCLONE
Waycross. Tifton and Other
Points Suffer Severely.
THREE PERSONS FATALLY HURT
Entire Family Buried in Wreckage of
House, Church Demolished, Cottages
Unroofed, Trees Torn Up by Roots
and Other Damage Done.

Waycross, Ga, June ia cyclone
which started at Manor, near this
city, caused considerable damage to
property in this section of the state
Tuesday afternoon, and several per
sons are reported injured.
At Manor the cyclone started out
by taking the lightning rods and top
boards off the house of D. c. Carmi-
chael, and then jumped into the field
of w. S. Booth. From the field, for
distance of four miles in a path a
hundred yards wide, every tree was
uprooted.
About four miles from Manor the
cyclone struck the house of Henry
Corbett, completely destroying his
house, and Outbuildings and probably
fatally injuring his nearly grown son
and daughter. After leaving the
Corbett home, the wind changed it's
course to more northerly direction
and continued for miles and miles,
destroying everything in its path.
The home of Dung James, near the
Corbett house, was destroyed and Mr..
James and his family buried in the
ruins. The family was rescued with
out injury, except Mr.. James, who was
slightly hurt.
At Hasty, Pearson and kirkland
considerable damage was reported,
and it is believed that it was the
same cyclone which started at Manor
that reached Triton, causing consider
able damage.
Ware county along the path of the
cyclone, is only partly settled, and
this fact only prevented great loss of
life.

MILLION DOLLAR FIRE
SWEEPS BALTIMORE
Two Men Believed to Have
Burned to Death.
THE BLAZE WAS SPECTACULAR

The Savannah Docks of the Merchants
and Miners Line, the Steamer Es-
sex and Much Valuable Freight Are
Destroyed.
Baltimore, Md, June 13-A million
dollar fire early Wednesday morning
wiped out the big Savannah docks of
the Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation company, totally destroyed the
steamer Essex, of that line, all OF the
valuable freight with which the dock
was crowded and a number of scows
loaded with cotton and resin, with
their freight, besides causing great
anxiety as to the fate of the crew of
the Essex, said to have consisted of
about forty men.
All of these save two are known to
have escaped. The two were almost
certainly burned to death, as they
were apparently unconscious when last
seen by their fleeing mates. They
were Edward Atkinson, a cabin as
slstant, and John Costello, fireman.
The burning steamer and scows
dr1fted in the south side Of the harbor
and for time there were grave fears
that extensive damage would be done
there, as the wind carried the flames
from the vessels directly toward the
shore and the shipping on the water
front, but the firemen were success
full in preventing serious damage at
the threatened places.
The blaze was spectacular, the
burning resin and cotton giving off
immense volumes of dense smoke.

The fire originated in district sur

England was petting her kitten, when
she suddenly felt something scratch
her hand. On examining the spot
whence the scratch proceeded, she felt
the point of a needle sticking out of
poor pussy's neck fur. The needle was

other surprise was experienced when it
was found that length of thread was
attached to the needle, both having
passed down the kittens throat and
out again from the fur.
