went into 1t were sceptical at the time, but
participated more to accommodate parties
who often have good undertakings to pass

fled the gloomiest forebodings. for the effort
to interest the public at a price above 50 was
not successful enough to permit'th h unload

JAPs TO MAKE FLOUR.

Charles Edward Russell illustrates
Japanese astuteness by the following
revelation made in the July instalment
of Soldiers of the Common Good"
in Everybody's Magazine. He says:
Let me tell you little story about
-four. Japan raises some wheat, but
not enough, and for some years she
has imported heavily of American
-four which is our article of principal
export to the Pacific. Years ago
Russia leased from China certain
ample territory in Manchuria, now
tapped by the Russian railroad. This
territory contains some of the best
wheat land in the world--undevelop
ed. The Russians quickly perceived
the wheat possibilities of this region
and had begun to get it into order
and to establish mills and warehouses
when the war came on.
"The silent little brown men, the
nation of imitators, crumpled up the
great Russian power like SO much
burned paper, and among the spoils
of their victory was the southern half
of that leased Manchurian territory
the choice wheat land, and the rail
road that ran through it.
'"That territory can grow wheat
enough to supply all of the present
western Pacific -four trade.
''The japanese government is now
engaged in spotting that region with
-four mills and developing the grow
ing of wheat. In year or two it will
be ready to produce flour. No hurry.
The Japanese are never hurried.
Quietly they plan and scheme; with
wondrous skill they build the trap and
prepare the tools, and when the proper
time comes go forth with certainty to
skin the prey"

Wonan's Trials.

The bitter trail in a woman's life Is TO
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself TO her lonely lot? The alb
Eance of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is common disap-
polntment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
Of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children OF Others. To them the
largest family notseem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. DIR. Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
O barren woman, to the great JOY of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y, over which
Dr. Pierce of the rFavorite Prescription T"
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses. displace-
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents of which the rFavorite Prescription f"
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Mdtcrid Medtcd of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle. so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. DR.. Pierce takes his pa
tents into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the rFavorite Prescription is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
test and safest laxative for women.

the newspaper habit which comes to
be form OF mental dissipation and
tends to. weaken the power Of close at

voided, but no man Of today, however
