Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both me
and women, are thin, pale and puny, witt
poor circulation, because thev have Ill
treated their stomachs by hasty eatlni
or too much eating, by consuming alco
holic beverages, or by too close contino
sequence the stomach must BIO treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, in fact in every weary
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS resula
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutrltive aid In
ahead Of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood Ger"
tain materials and return to 1t certain
others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work OF taking up from
the food what is necessary to make goods
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge OK
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles
These are found to be safe and yet Ger"

WASPS BENEFIT THE FIGS.
ITO be continued.)

Insects Are Necessary to the Fruits
Successful Cultivation.
E,he Iong-continued effort to produce
The Smyrna fig Of commerce in Cali
fornia has been crowned with success.
The history of the experiment is in
teresting. 1t began over twenty years
ago with importation of cuttings from
Asia Minor. Figs have been produced
from these and other imported cut
tings, but they were not the famous
white fig of commerce. The credit Of
producing the latter in California be-
longs to George G. Roeding Of Fresno.
Until this summer every true Smyrna
fig tree planted in California which
bore fruit failed to mature it; the figs
were unfertilized and withered and
dropped. It was finally discovered that
the fertilization Of this fig depended
upon the service of the blastophaga
wasp. whose habitat is in the capri.
or wild fig. The latter was imported
and thrived amazingly, but the balsto-
phaga did not accompany it. Special
importations of the wasp followed, but
it thrived only for season on the
capri fig and then disappeared. It was
assumed that it could not survive our
winters Last year the department OF
agriculture took the matter in hand.
A fresh consignment was imported and
its care intrusted to Mr.. Roeding. Last
April tha young insect colony emerged
IN full force from the first capri cot,
entered the second, emerged again, and
then took possession of the Smyrna
fig trees, the fruit on which was ready
for fertilization. Mr. Roeding reports
that this experim ent has been perfectly
successful A ton Of the fruit has al
ready been picked from his trees and
the entire crop will yield five or six
tons more. Mr.. Roeding believes that
the blastophaga has come to stay and
he expects that California Will be en-
riched soon with another Industry

CHAPTER VII.
The Powder Mine.

eff this is our last match, shall we
use it now, or save 1t for another
time
Medworth had asked this question
when Tempest had handed him the
match in the underground passage
where the Americans had lost their
way in the darkness.
They felt along the moist, slippery
walls, and slowly made their way from
without success. After several hours at
this work they seemed to have accom-
plished nothing.
And, in fact, they had not accom-
plished anything.
The caverns in which they were were
not under the castle Of Salvarez. But
they were not far away from it.
From the entrance at the river bank
to the opening in the foundation walls
the way was crooked enough. One
needed to be familiar with the passage
to find his way.
Medworth and Tempest were at least
two hundred feet from the true pas
sage, and were going round and round,
following upon their own footsteps.

Again they tried to find the entrance,
but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, what of SaIvarez?
When he retreated from the Zambos
he picked up his wife and daughter,
and withdrew to safe distance from
the castle to allow his soldiers time
to recuperate.
He remained here until nightfaH:

Wine tasting was his business, and
he was reputed to be on of the best

means of making a livelihood, so when

never hesitating, and always right.
At the last one he stopped. 1t was
filed with water only.
He slipped it, turning it over and
over with his tongue, asked for a sec
ond mouthful, considered it with a
most perplexed expression, and then
had an inspiration. "Of course he

A CIamor for Endowment.

For years our dramatic critics and
lovers of the art have advocated and
urged the endowing of theaters de.
voted thereto. New York is entitled
to congratulate herself on the public
spirit and interest in the higher
forms of drama and music to which
she shall owe her endowed theater.
But shall she have the only endowed
theater in the country? What has
she that other grea>, wealthy and
progressive American cities lack:
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and

endowed theaters and little opera
houses" for each has the requisite

is worthy of the heartiest encourage

A VindicatiOn for DR.. Pierce.
Decision by the Supreme Court OF the
State, Against the Ladies Home
journal.

verdict has been rendered IN
favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit
brought against the Ladies Home
Journal published by the Curtis Pup-
fishing Coz by the Worlds DIS
nensarv Medical Association, OF which
DIR r.. v. Pierce is president. Inc
suit was brought by Doctor Plerce
against the Curtis Publishing Co..
for making false statements about one
Of his standard family medicines
known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. In the May number or the
Ladies' Home Journal (19O4. Mr.. Ed
ward Box. the editor, stated that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tanned alcohol and some other harm
full ingredients, and DR.. Pierce had
in the action alleged that the dereno-
ant maliciously published this artlcle
containing such false and defamatory
matter. DR.. Pierce further claimed
that no alcohol is or ever was con-
tanned in his "Favorite Prescription,
that said medicine was a vegetable
preparation and contained no dele
terious ingredients whatever; that MT
Bok's statement, pretending to give
some of the ingredients of said medl-
cine, was wholly and absolutely
false. During the trial. the Vice
President of the Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association stated, that the
ingredients of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription were extracted from the
following native roots: Golden Seal,
Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper. Black
CohOsh and Unicorn, by means OF
pure glycerine He was asked how
he knew, as a physician and ex-
perienced medical man, that the 'F'a-
vorite Prescription" was cure for
the diseases peculiar to women, such
as amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, ante
version retro-verSiOn, and he stated
that he knew such was the fact be-
cause Of his professional experience
and the many thousands of women
whose ills had been cured by this
Prescription" The Vice-President,
being asked to give his authorities,
read from the standard works, such
as the United States Dispensatory.
The American Dispensatory and many
other standard medical books.
The retraction printed by the Cur
it's Publishing Company two months
after the libelous statement appeared
and nearly two months after the suit
had been begun stated definitely that
analyses had been made at their re-,
quest and that the "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" did not contain either alcohol,
opium or digitalis.

CHAPTER VIII.

Salvarez.
The battle over, the victorious
troops had given themselves UP to
feasting and drinking to celebrate the
defeat of SalvareZ.
The coronation Of Philip had been
postponed. The battle had interfered.
and the troops were not now in a
condition to realize the glory of such
an event
While the eating and drinking,
smoking and the singing of Spanish
songs went on among the soldiers,
Philip sat alone in the library Of Sal
varez, now called the council room
of the king.
His reveries were interrupted by the
entrance of Don Juan, who burst in
upon him like a whirlwind.
II am undone.", he cried. There is
an enemy among u.s.
Philip, seeing the frenzied look on
Garza's face, started to his feet.
What do you mean, Cara? Speak!
What has happened?"
Lola, my daughter!" gasped Don
Juan, unable to say more.
What of herr" demanded Philip,
placing his hand on the hilt of his
sword.
"She is gone from the castlep' Don
Juan walked back and forth nervous
ly. 'I went to her room moment
ago. I found her door ajar. She was
not there. I sought her everywhere in
the castle. She is not here. Now that
I think of it, I have not seen her since
the battle"
''Nor l." said Philip, turning pale.
''What do you think has become of
herr"
II Think am sure-some one has
taken her away. My fears were not
groundless, as you see"
''You suspect-Gomez."
81 can suspect no one else. I have
already spoken to you about my sus-
picion of him"
''I know Where is Gomez now?"
81 do not know. I have not seen
him.
"Send for him. Let us see what he
has to say If Gomez has taken her
away, he must die"
''Yes-he must die-by my hand"
said Don Juan.
An orderly was called.
Request General Gomez to come
here at once" said Philip.
The orderly saluted.
- ~, rfT
your majesty" he said.
A quick look Of intelligence flashed
between Don Juan and Philip.
do you know where he has gomez"
mo, you majesty. He left some
time ago. He ordered his horse, and
SAID nothing about his destination or
the time of his return.
did he go alone?"
''He went alone"
Every we'll You may go"
The orderly withdrew.
What shall we do?" asked Philip.
SCI must follow Gomez said Don
Juan. II would advise that you re-
main here, and act as il nothing
had happened. If you should leave
the castle, the alarm would in some
way reach Gomez. | shall ride out and
find him.
eco, then, and il you find he has
been a traitor, shoot him"
Don Juan left the castle.
Bring me a horse at once he said
to the orderly.
The horse was brought.
''Do you know which way General
Gomez went from here asked Don
Juan.
He started toward the south, was
the reply.
ITO be continued.)

CHAPTER VT.-(Continued.)
Thus they talked, Gomez all the time
| conducting the defense of the castle
| against it's owner, and at the same
| time keeping Philip and Don Juan
with him, and their interest conferred
in the fight.
An hour passed, and burned powder
achieved.
Don Juan began to grow impatient.
''Of what use is this % he exclaimed.
"The fools will play with those guns
all day and all night. This kind Of war
! fare grows monotonous. When they get
weary they will depart, only to annoy
us again."
what would you advise, Don
Juan?" asked Philip.
Attack! Drive them! Cut them
| down! 1t is only by destroying this
army of Salvarez that we can carry
our banners from this place toward
Caracas
IT is so,'' said Philip, Gomez, why
not attack"
1T can be DONE" said Gomez, darting
look of hatred at Cara.
1t was not the desire of Gomez just
then to shorten the battle. Mattazudo
had not yet returned from the evil err
rand upon which he had been sent.
But the commands of Philip must be
obeyed.
Then it was that Salvarez was start
led by the shouts of his men.
From the battlements outside the
castle came a company to drive the be-
siegers away.
Salvarez shouted out an order to his
soldiers. They had been impatiently
waiting for the time to come when
rifles and pistols could be used in the
defense of their country, instead of
cannon, which accomplished nothing.
They rallied around their courageous
leader.
"Fire!' he commanded.
A voIley was fired, and a dozen Of
the men of Philip lay dead, and score
wounded. Yet the remainder did not
slacken the speed at which they adj
yanced.
They returned the fire.
Several of the soldiers of Salvarez
fell.
Salvarez gave the command to fire
again.
The advancing enemy now, instead
of coming straight for Salvarez, made
for the trees and found shelter.
Then began sort of guerrilla Eight
ing, neither side gaining the advant-
age Firing by volleys was out of the
question. Every man found tree and
fired from behind it whenever he saw
the head of an enemy
This lasted a half-hour.
Then Mattazudo appeared near the
group of officers around Philip of Ara
gon.
ct is DONE She is SAFE" he whisp-
cred in the ear of Gomez.
Gomez turned to Philip.
"It has lasted long enough" he said.
IT will now show your majesty how to
deal with those who oppose you"
He gave the word to Mattazudo.
The two hundred Zambos under the
command of the rascally half-breed
swept out of the battlements, and
gaining the rear OF Salvarez, began an
attack.
Men Of the republic fell by dozens
cit is of no use," said Salvarez. "Our
men canont hold out. We cannot hope
to win. Another time, and the castle
shall be ours
He gave the order to retreat.
His men, being familiar with the
ground, melted away from before the
Zsmbos, and when there were no more
soldiers to pursue. the Zambos re-
turned to the castle.
Philip, Gomez and Don Juan stood
and watched the return of their army
from the scene of it's second victory.
1--WE are invincible," said Philip.
''You are king" said Don Juan.
