Don't Count
Prescription Cost

1t does not pay to figure too close
on prescription costs. Pure drugs
come high Slsi1lful compoundcrs draw
large salaries. When you pay cheap
price for prescription you are either
getting impure drugs or they are com
pounded by incompetent men or per-
haps inexperienced boys.
Every prescription we fill contains
pure drugs put together properly by
skilled prescriptions. Better pay a
little more and get medicine you can
believe in.

BIRTH RATE FOLLOWS TRADE.
What Meeting of the Royal statisti-
cal Society Revealed.


At a meeting of the Royal Statisti-
cal Society, held recently in London
at the society's rooms. paper was
read on 1.-THE Changes in the Mar
rage and Birth Rates in England and
Wales During the Last Half Century,
With an Inquiry as to Their Causes
by G. .Udny Yule. A careful exam
ination of the fluctuations in the birth
rate showed, declared Mr.. Yule, that
1t appeared to respond, like the mar
rage rate, to the cycle fstrade and
industry, though the movement is
curiously irregular as compared with
that of the latter rate. The fall of
the birth rate, or marked increase
in the rate of fall, commenced in
many European countries just about
1S75-6-that is. when the effect of the
fall of prices from 1873 was just be-
ginning to make itself felt. The turn
ing point was too well marked not
to be due to some very definite cause
and too widespread to be ascribed to
any cause of at all a local charact-
er. The greatest intercensal increase
rates in England and Wales occurred,
it was pointed out, after periods of
high prices.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians. suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia. another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor. sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, preScribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering. encourages this prac-
: ttce until large bills are made. The suf-
fer1ng patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay. wrong
treatment and consequent complications
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured"
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-The work
mems council. after consultation with
the leaders of the other proletariat or
CARNATIONS, decided that the celebra-
ton of the anniversary of January %
(Red Sunday should take the form of
a general pacific strike for a single
day. Delegates were appointed to go
to France, Germany and England as
well as other places abroad for the
purpose of thanking the workers of
those countries who purpose to join
in a general observance of the ami
versary.
A three-cornered discussion is in
progress between Gen. Martynoff, the
Molva (Russ) and the Novoe Vrey-
ma over the question of personal bray
egy of the Jews. The controversy
was precipitated by the publication
of an article signed by Gen. Martynoff
in which the Jewish soldiers were
stigmatized as towards and in which
It was declared that they resorted to
every conceivable ruse, even to the
extent of mutilating themselves in Or
der to avoid service. The article said
chat. those who actually were in Man
ehuria feigned sickness before every
fight and that the fright of the Jews
in battle was enough to shake the
morals of an entire, regiment. The
Jews, the article said, were also
guilty of constant desertion. and it
was alleged that there were 256 de-
sertions of Jewish soldiers from a sim
gle division as compared with the de-
sertion of eight Christians.
In concluding his article Gen.
Martynoff said that the Jew. on &C
count of cowardice and physical weak
ness, was not fit to be a soldier.
The Molva took up the cudgel on
behalf of the Jews, warmly defending
their moral courage. and giving them
credit for bearing the brunt of the
revolutionary struggle, and explain
ing that any faults they may have
shown at the front were borne of
their detestation of the rule of their
oppressors..
The Novoe Vreyma sided with Gen.
eral Martynoff, but acknowledged the
abilities of the Jews, who, it was said,
were the real organizers of the Rus
sian revolution. 1t insisted, however,
that while the Jews had furnished
brains and arms to the workmen, just
as they furnished bombs to the terror
lists, they had done little actual fight
ing.
In continuing it's side of the argu-
ment the Novoe Vreyma berates
those foreigners in the United States
and elsewhere who raise money to
buy weapons for the defense of the
poor Russian Jews, which in reality
are used to fight the government.
Then the foreigners blame the gov
eminent for the harsh measures
adopted to quell rebellion"

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
