DOO7'ORS MESTHKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, ss they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-gOing or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, preScribes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause of suffering, keeps up his treatment
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, by reason of the
wrong treatment, but probably worse. A
proper medicine like DR.. Pierce'S Favorite
Prescription, directed to the cause would
have entirely removed the disease there

Austin, Tex, Feb. 6.-Quite a
dramatic scene was enacted in the
Bailey investigation shortly after the
legislative committee resumed con-
sideratiOn of the charges against the
senator.
E. N. Mentz, of Houston, was on
the stand when Representative Cooke
who is prosecuting the charges against
Senator Bailey, asked Mr.. Mentz if
Colonel Cowart, of Dallas, went to
New York to see Bailey while he was
there, Ostensibly to have his throat
treated but was really there to attend
to business for the Kirby Lumber
company.
Senator Bailey, who had just en-
tered the room few minutes before,
arose and said that any one who said
COwart went to New York to see him
was a liar.
The witness understood that Bailey
meant him and he arose in his seat
and declared emphatically that he
would allow no man to call him a
liar.
He asserted that he was not a will
ing witness, but so help me God,
viii allow no man to call me a liar!"
he shouted.
Senator Bailey started for the wit
ness, who seemed ready to meet him.
Deputy Sheriff White stopped Senator
Bailey and trouble was avoided.
The senator then apologized TO the
committee, declaring that he had been
irritated so much during the past few
weeks that he could hardly help his
action. He asserted that it was
hard to keep from denouncing what
he knew TO be lies.

teach Deuser a lesson. A harmless
reptile was captured, deposited in the
jug and corked up.

the cork and had the jug within two
inches of his lips when the head Of the
reptile emerged. With wild scream

Gone Forever.

Ten years ago an Allen county, Kansas,
farmer put his initials on q dollar bill.
The next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a merchant. Be-
fore the year was out he got the dollar
back. Four times in six years the dollar
came back to him for produce and three
times he heard of it in the pockets of his
neighbors. The last time he got it back
was four years ago. He sent it to mail
order house. He has never seen that
dollar since, nor never will. That dollar
bill will. never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munlty. He sent it entirely out OF the
circle of usefulness to himself and his
neighbors. Don't send your money to
mail order houses, but trade in your home
town and you may get it again.

interest of the work. She spoke

tion of men and boys from the curse

She is not fanatical nor extrava-

her command facts and figures to
substantiate her arguments. 1t is
to be regretted that more Of our
people did not hear her. It is sell
dom that we have an opportunity to
hear so cultured and sensible a
woman on a subject of so great i'm
portance to us.
The result of her visit was the
organization of a local union. All
the women of the town and COM

sociate members.
