 GIVES ADVICE

Commenting upon what it's town must do to hold the Alaskan trade, the Seattle Times says:
 "This point must never be forgotten, If we are to retain the great trade oi the far north we must be honest and fair ard just in all things-and we must stand ready to correct errors where errors are made. No city ever built up commerce by wrong-doing, or misrepresentation, and no city can keep 8 trade, even though it be already built up, if business be not done 'on the the square,
 If we permanently lose a customer in Alaska we have no one to blame but ourselves, for we have every advantage in the fight"

REST AND SLEEP.
Advice for the Tired Woman.

"HE woman of the office or shop has
 more cause than the hOusGkecper
 to wear ont in days like these
 The housekeeper should find time for a nap: she can get into loose cloth ing. while the business woman must iIght it out until the end of the days work The tired woman comes home from the office completely Jagged out She is ncrv- ouS; she finds she cannot rest; sine rolls and losses through the night, victim of insomnia. The housewife, perhaps the mother of a largo family and doing her own homework. should take some little leisure in the midila of the day, if it only be for ten minutes. Slip away from cares and duties and throw yourself down on lounge or bed for little while Try to relax every muscle until your body feels heavy Then try and stop thinking: re lax your mir'-.; throw of worry. For those sen minutes or half an hour, lie perfectly still This is the advice of the Treatest womar'S specialist of our time, Dr E. v. Pierce. founder of the lnvalidS Hotel and Surgical Institute, st nuffalo, N. Y. Furthermore. he says. the woman who is employed in stores or shops, wCfk- ing at the highest tension all day, must above all things get q good nights rest. A tepid bath and a cup of cocoa or warm milk before going to bed, or perhaps a little light exercise, with the window open so that you breathe pure air, will act upon the nerves, quieting them and soothing the tired-Out woman into the first sweet slumber which leads to long, restful sleep. If such simple treatment, says Dr. Pierce, has no effect on the nervous system, then the woman should resort to some vegetable tonic which will Soothe the nerves.

naturally says, but all the time the real trouble very often -centcrS in the Wom aniy organs In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, and woman should take rational treatment for it's cure The local disorder and in 1amma tion of the delicate special organs of the sex should be treated steadily and systematically
 Dr. Pierce. during long period of prac- tice. found that a prescription made up entirely of roots and herbs. without the use of alcohol, cured over ninety per cent. of such cases. After using this remedy for many years in his private practice he put it up in a form that would make it easily procurable, and it can be had at any store where medicines are handled.
 The prOprietOrS and makers of Doctor Perce'S FavOrite Prescription have the most remarkable record of cures made by this worldfamed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especi- ally designed for the cure of wOman's peculiar ailments
 Sick women. especially those suffering from diseases of long standing, are in- vited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free All correspondence is held as strictly private ard sacredly confidential. Ad dress Dr. R. v. Pierce, Buffalo. N '.
