Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what
ever food or medicine may be offered you /?
Or, do you want to know something of the
composition and character of that which
you take into your stomach whether as
food or medicine?
Most intelligent and sensible neople
nowadays insist on knowing what they
employ whether as food or as medicine.
DR.. Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, Broadcast and on each bottle
wrapper, what bis medicines are made of
and veSifes ityrhder-eath This he feels
he can MeH.Afford TO do because the more
the ingredients Of which his medicines
are made are studied and underStood the
more will their superior curative virtues
Be aInrscIafedA
For the cure Of woman's peculiar weak
nesses, irregularities and arrangements,
giving rise to frequent headaches, back
ache, dragging-down pain or distress in
lower abdominal or pelvic region, accom-
panied, Outlines, with a facilitating,
pelvic, catarrhal drain and kindred symp-
toms of weakness, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is most efficient remedy.
1t is equally effective in curing painful
periods, in giving strength to nursing
mothers and in preparing the system of
the eXpectant mother for baby'S coming,
thus rendering childbirth safe and COM
paratively painless. The "Favorite Pre-
Scription" is a most potent, strengthening
tonic to the general system and to the
organs distinctly feminine in particular.
1t is also soothing and invigorating
nervine and cures nervous exhaustion,
nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria,
spasms. chorea or st. VituS's dance, and
other distressing nervous symptoms at
tendant upon functional and organic dis
eases of the distinctly feminine organs.
A host of medical authorities of all the
several schools of practice, recommend
each of the several ingredients of which
"Favorite Prescription y is made for the
cure of the diseases for which it is claimed
to be cure. You may read what they
say for yourself by sending a postal card

Good Humor Returns with Change

"For many years I was constant
sufferer from indigestion, and nervous
ness amounting almost to prostratlon,
writes a MontSna man.
"My blood was impoverished, the
vision was blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes. This was
a steady daily condition. l grew Ill
tempered, and eventually got so ner-
vous I could not keep my books posted,
nor handle accounts satisfactorily. l
can't describe my sufferings.
Nothing 1 ate agreed with me, TIL
one day, I happened to notice Grape
Nuts in a grocery store, and bought
package, out of curiosity to know what
it was
s.I liked the food from the very first,
eating it with cream, and now L buy
it by the case and use it daily. l soon
found that Grape Nuts food was sup
plying brain and nerve force as moth
ing in the drug line ever had done or
could do.
SIT wasn't long before 1 was re-
stored to health, comfort and happi-
ness. Through the use of Grape-Nuts
food my digestion has been restored,
my nerves are steady once more, my
oversight is good again. my mental FAC
uIties are clear and acute, and have
become so good-natured that my
friends are truly astonished at the
change. l feel younger and better than
I have for twenty years. No amount
of money would induce me to surren-

SEVEN YEARS, NOT LIFE.
Samuel Montgomery Gets Manslaughter
Term Instead of First Degree
Murder Penalty.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis,
March 23.-[Special. ]-Seven years in
the state prison at hard labor is the
sentence pronounced by Judge O'Neil
for Samuel Montgomery, who was given
a life sentence in his first trial four
years ago for the murder of his wife near
Sparta, Wis.
The shorter term is the full penalty
for manslaughter in the second de-
gree.
A new trial was granted by the SUI
preme court on the ground that the evil
dence was insufficient to warrant a
first degree murder verdict, and the case
was brought here on change of venue
from Monroe county.

TO STOP SALE OF
DISEASED CATTLE.
STATE WILL CHECK SPREAD OF b.
VINE TUBERCULOSIS AMONG
HERDS BY LAW.
ONLY CERTIFIED ON MARKET.
Wisconsin College of Agriculture Com
piles Startling Statistics as to
Ravages in Past

MADISON, Wis, March 23.-TSpe-
cial. I'm order to protect the 100000
dairy herds of Wisconsin against fur
Their rayages of tuberculosis, a bill has
just been introduced into the Legislature
providing for the testing of all cattle be-
fore they are sold. The existing laws,
which make necessary the inspection OF
cattle before they are brought into the
state, protect dairymen and breeders
against infection from outside the state
The proposed law is designed to afford
similar protection by preventing the
spread of the disease from one herd to
another within the state. The provision
OF the law on this point is as follows:
NO cattle shall be sold within this state
which have not been tested for@tuberCu-
losls within one year previous to the
sale"
Striking Examples of Evil.
The records of the college of agricul-
ture furnish many striking examples of
the way in which the disease is spread
In one instance forty-six cattle from one
herd were sold to twelve different per
sons. OF these forty-sx, thirty-two re-
sponded to the tuberculosis test, although
none of the animals showed any appear
ance of the disease at the time of the
sale. Through this sale of infected ami
mails the disease was spread to twelve
herds which up to that time had been
free from the disease, and had the tuber-
culin test not been applied soon after the
sale, all Of these twelve herds would
have become as completely infected as
was the original one.
Maps Show Infection.
Maps of various districts of the state
upon which are Indicated infected herds
show that the disease is widespread
~ means OF the tests carried on during
the past four years it has been possible
in many cases to locate the centers of
Infection, and to show how, in almost all
cases, the disease has been carried from
these centers to surrounding herds by the
purchase of infected animals Since
from 6 to - per cent. of the animals
tested have reacted and thus shown the
presence of the disease, the average of
one animal in ten tested has tuberculosis.
The buyer of INFESTED cattle of any
grade, therefore, runs one chance in ten,
the authorities point out, of getting in
fected cattle.
Causes Large Loss.
The loss to the farmers and breeders
of the state caused by tuberculosis ca CHI
year is serious. Although the state
pays two-thirds of the value of tubercu-
lar cattle slaughtered by the state live
stock sanitary board the maximum in
demnity is only $37. The breeders of
high grade cattle that are very much
more valuable accordingly get a much
smaller proportion of the value of the
animals slaughtered. The tests have
shown that the blooded stock is as likely
to be infected as grade cattle. The loss
of money, time and effort caused by the
purchase of tuberculosis animals the
spread of tuberculosis within the herds,
and their consequent compulsory slaugh-
ter cannot be estimated

Some societies maintain legal aid
branches of their own, others apply to
the Legal Aid Society when necessary
In this connection the societies are
frequently called on to fight slyster law
yers. A man who has been in this coun-
try for six months or year finds that
at last he is in a position to have his
family join him, and sends them the
necessary passage money. On the ar
rival of the ship he goes to Ellis Is
land to welcome them, and discovers
that the sister who has made her home
with him and his family in the old coun-
try is likely to be deported because OF
some disease that is named as sufficient
cause for disbarment in the laws gov
erning immigration. A runner for Il
shyster lawyer, learning of the mans
dilemma, tells him that his employer
can get his sister off the Island if he
will pay over the sum of fifty dollars.
The mans one thought is to get his
sister into the country. He hurries to
the lawyers office and hands over the
hard-earned money A few days later
when he sorrowfully bids MS sister

good-by, he is much wiser man.
The immigration regulations permit a
lawyer to charge only ten dollars for
services rendered to immigrants, or rel
atives anxious to get them into the
country. One society has had seven
lawyers in as many months debarred
from practicing at any immigration sta
ton because of their habit of overcharg-
ing grossly, or for accepting fees to get
immigrants landed when it is clear that
they cannot be permitted to land under
the law Other lawyers have been de-
barred because they represented to gull
lible ones that it was necessary for them
to pay certain sums of money before
relatives, desirable immigrants in every
respect, could be released from the i'm
migration station. This bold game is
played with amazing frequency, judg-
ing from the cases continually coming
to light.
1t is a peculiar fact that not a few
of the persons who swindle newcomers
already landed are foreign born them
selves. Italian swinders prey on Ital-
ians, Swedish runners on their kind
each breed of foreign born harpy on his
own countrymen.
The Society for Italian Immigrants
has recently been instrumental in send

Absorbed as the average foreigner in
America is in hustling around for liv-
ing and catching on to the ways of the
new land simultaneously, he yet finds
time to care for the newly landed i'm
migrant from his native country. And
more, he generally manages to find some
spare money for the same object.
From the moment an immigrant sets
foot on Ellis Island until he is well
placed in the new world he may be
guided and protected-as a general rule,
free of cosby society of his own
countrymen, if he so elects.
Thousands of new arrivals unhesitat>
ingly place themselves in the care of the
various immigrant societies in the course
of twelve-month; last year one of the
one hundred and fifty Italian immigrant
organizations in Greater New York
looked after about fifty thousand immi-
grants. The Italian societies are num-
erous because of the fact that the Ita-
ian is a very provincial human being.
The men from Naples like to care for
arrivals from Naples only. So it is with
the men from Venice, and Rome, and
Sicily; hence, the large number of Ital-
ian societies.
These are the only immigrants among
the million odd arriving at the port of
New York in year of whom it may
be said that they are not repeatedly vic
timized before they have cut their eye
teeth, before they have learned to their
sorrow that, though every man in Amer
ica is free, it is not logical to conclude,
therefore, that every man is honest
One of the chief objects of all the
societies looking after the green immi-
grant is to protect him from the shys-
ters, swindlers, dishonest hotel and
clearinghouse runners, and employ
rlcnt agents and other crooks who f1ocl;
wherever immigrants land, in the hope
u securing NlClllIlS SdIOlC lOI lllC Idt-
tening of their pocketbooks Far too
often they are successful, and SO greedy
are they that they have frequently set
upon and attacked agents of the immi-
grant societies coming between them
and their otherwise easy prey.
In the neighborhood Of the Barge
Ceice New York, where the immigrants
esing through Ellis Island land, the
harpies are to be found in great mum
bcrs. To crcumvent them as much as
possible the immigrant societies main
tain what is known as the escort
service.
Most Of the immigrant societies keep
agents on Ellis Island only after a So
ciety has been rigidly Investigated by
the government immigration officials Is
it allowed this concession. Circulating
among the immigrants, these agents
offer to the newcomers the privilege OF

complained to a countryman of the ex-
ceeding great cost of going very short
distances in the big city. The Society
for Italian Immigrants was at once no.
titled, and, while it could get no trace
of the others who had victimized Foiere,
it succeeded in locating the expressman
who had hold of him last, and this
sharpster was made to disgorge the
three dollars he had collected
If foreigner who has been in A ler-
ica for some time, as was Foierc, can
be passed from harpy to harpy in this
fashion, how easy it must be to prey

land and its ways!
AS may be gathered from the case of
Foiere, the Society for Italian Immi-
grants, the Societe Franchise de Bien-

Verein, the Magyar Tarsulat (Hungar-
ian Association), and the hundred and
