fIADE FROn NATIVE ROOTS.
 @ SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants, growing wild in our American forests, possess remarka ble properties for the cure of human maladieS is well proven. Even the untutoTed Indian had learned the curative value of some of these and taught the early settlers their uses. The Indian never liked work so he wanted his sQuaw to get well as soon as possible that she might do the work and let him hunt Therefore, he dug rpapOoSe root for her for that was their great remedy for fe- male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the same root-called Blue COhosh-in his VFaYOrite Prescription" skilfuily com bined with other agents that make it more effective than any other medicine In curing all the various weaknesses and painful arrangements peculiar to women.
 Many afflicted women have been saved from the operating table aud the sur geOn'S knife by the timely use of Doctor Pierce's FavOrite Prescription. Tender ness over the lower pelvic region, with backache, spells of dizziness, faintness, bearing down pains or distress should not go unheeded. A course of 0Favorite Pre- scriptiOn" will work marvellous benefit in all such cases, and generally effect a permanent cure if persisted in for req sOnable length of time. The "FaVorite Prescription is a harmless agent, being wholly prepared from native medicinal roots, without drop of alcohol in it's make up, whereas all other medicines, put up for sale through druggists for "OuidH peculiar dliuleHbo, COuLdlH ldEBo quantities of spirituOus liquors, which are very harmful, especially Co delicate women. WFavorite Prescription con- tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit forming drugs: All its ingredients are printed on each bottle wrapper. It is a powerful invigorating tonic, imparting health and strength In particular to the organs distinctly feminine. For weak and sickly women, who are Vworn-out," or facilitated, especially for women who work in store. office, or school room, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, and for nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Eavorite Prescription will prove a priceless benefit because of its health restoring and strcngth-giving power.
 For constipation, the true, scientific cure Is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Mild, harmless, yet sure.

SALT RIVER VALLEY
 LOOKS GOOD 10 HIM
First Visit of District Attorney Pitt
 man of TOnOpab, New.

w. B. Pittman of Tonopah, New, is in Phoenix for the purpose of super intending the organization of a cor poratiOn under the laws of this terri tory to handle a property in which
 himself and his brother are the prin- cipal owners. He has found it to his advantage to incorporate in Arizona, and while he has in this way had a great deal to do with the territory the visit he is making here is his first He is the district attorney of his county. He was more than agreeably surprised with the country he has seen since en- tering this valley. particularly with the fields south of Tempe, on the NJ. & P. road. That section. he says, reminded him very much of the country which is benefiting by the Truckee project in the Carson River valley of Nevada.
 MT. Pittman's visit to Phoenix brought to his mind an occurrence in which he was officially interested and which happened in TOnopah about sixty days ago. It was the killing of a man who carried a union card which showed Phoenix to be the last place he had been employed. The man came to his death while resisting arrest by a constable. At the time of the encoun- ter the man who was killed was very heavily armed, having in action an automatic revolver and a 44-caliber re- volver. He used both. but the con- stable was not struck. The first shot of the officer laid his man low.
 The man was about 1SO pounds in weight, six feet in height, and raw boned. He had gone to Tonopah from and there lived such a wild life that there is little doubt as to where he finally went. But a few days previous to his death he had written a letter to relatives in Minnesota. which lfterward came into the possession of the officers, that left little doubt that he had in mind a big holdup of some kind at the time he was killed. He had written east that within a very few

American Shipping.
Let me once again call the atten-
tion Of the Congress to two subjects

before communicated with them. One
is the question Of developing Ameri-

couragement of American shipping;

GufFenss Reform.
1 especially call your attention to
the second subject; the condition of
our curreGey laws: The national
bank act has ably served i great pur-
pose in aiding the enormous business
development Of the country; and
withih ten gears there has been an
increase in circulation per capita
from $21.41 to $33.OS. For several
years evidence has been accumulating
that additional legislation is needed.

1t is urged that these shall receive
the careful consideration Of Congress
and that tariffs, ETC., shall be upon a

Army and Navy.
Tie message goes ut length into the
matter of the efficiency of out army
ard navy: The President is much
gratifed at .hS progress we are maxi
ing in both branches IF 5iW common
defense. In the matter Of rifle prac-
tice the President says:
The Congress has most wisely pro-
vided for a National Board for the
promotion Of rifle practice. Excellent
results have already come from this
law; bit it docs iiet go far enough.
Our Regular Army is 50 small that in
ahg great war we should have to
trust mainly to volunteers. and in
such event these volunteers should
already know how to shoot; for if a
Sqldier has the fighting edge, and
ability<to take care of himself in the
open his efficiency ofi tie line of bat
l.tle is almost directly proportionate

should establish shooting gallaries in
the large public and military schools,
should maintain national target
ranges in different parts Of the coun-
try, and should in every way encour.

Investigation of Disputes Between

The commission appointed by the
President October l6, 1902, at the re.
quest of both the anthricite coal op.
orators and miners, to inquire into:
consider. and pass upon the question:
In controversary in connection with

Pennsylvania and the causes out OF
which the controversary arose, in
their report, findings, and award ex-
prest the belief "that the State and
Federal governments should provids
the machinery for what may be call,
ed the compulsory investigation OF
controversies between employers and
employees when they arise. ~
Corporations.
The present Congress has taken
long strides in the direction of secur-
ing proper supervision and contro
by the National Government Owe,
corporations engaged in interstate
business-and the enormous majority
OF corporations of any size are engag-
ed in interstate business. The pas
sage of the railway rate bill, and only
to less degree the passage of the
pure food bill, and the provision for
increasing and rendering more effee,
tive national control over the beef
packing industry, mark an important
advace in the proper direction. In
the short session it will perhaps be
difficult to do much further along. this
line; and it may be best to wait until
the laws have been in operation for a
number of months before endeavoring
to increase their scope, because only
operations will show with eyactness
their merits and their shortcomings
and thus give opportunity 10 define
what further remilial Legislation is
needed. Yet in my judgment it will
in the end be advisable in connection
with the packing house inspection law
to provide for putting a date on the
label and for the packers. All these
laws have already jutifed their en-
actment.
Agriculture.
The only other persons whose wei
fare is as vital to the welfare of the
whole country as is the welfare Of
the wageworkers are the tillers of the
soil, the farmers. 1t is mere trusim
to say that no growth of cities, no
growth of wealth, no industrial de-
velopment can atone for any fallins
off in the character and standing Of
the farming population. During the
last few decades this fact has been
recognized with ever-inereasing clear
ness.
Marriage and Divorce.
am well aware of how difficult it
is to pass a constitutional amendment.
Nevertheless in my judgment the
whole question of marriage and di-
vorce should be relegated to. the au-
thority of the National Congress. Al
present the wide difference in the
laws Of the different States on this
subject result in scandals and abuses:
and surely there is nothing so vitally
essential to the welfare of the nation,
nothing around which the nation
should so bend itself to throw every
safeguard. as the home life of the
average citizen. The change would
lhe good from every standpoint.
