A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonab BILE objections of the more intel
iigent to the use of secret, medicinal COM
pounds. DR.. r. Y. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago. decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, a full
and complete list of all the ingredients
entering into the composition of his widely
celebrated medicines. Thus he has taken
his numerous patrons and patients into
his full confidence Thus too he has re-
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits. and made
them Remedies OF K1lo,G1, Compositions.
BY this bold step DR.. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such excellence
that he is not afraid to subject them to
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does the wrapper of every bottle
/ of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. the
famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid
liver or biiiousneSS and all cat arFhal diseases
wherever located. have printed upon it, ilt
| plain English, full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing it, but a small
book has been complied from numerous
standard medical works. of all the different
schools Of practice, containing very numer-
Gus extracts from the writings of leading
| practitioners OF medicine, endorsing in the
! strongest possible terms, each and every Iagre-
dent contained IN Dr.. Pierce;s medicines.
One of these little books will be mailed free
/ to any one sending address on postal card or
/ by letter. to Dr. r. " Pierce, Buffalo, n. Y,
and requesting the same. From this little
| book il will be learned that DIR. Pierce's med
| icines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral
/ agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native, n1edici-
| nal roots of great value: also that some Of
/ the most valuable ingredients contained In
/ Dr. Pierees Favorite Prescription for weak,
nervous, over-worked, rundown, nervous
/ and debilitated women, were employed long
years ago, by the Indians for similar ailments
affecting their sauaws. In fact, one of the
most valuable medicinal plants entering into
the composition of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription was known to the Indians as
rSauaw-Weed. Our knowledge of the uses
of not few of our most valuable native, me-
dicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
As made up by improved and exact pro-
cesseS the Favorite Prescription is most
/ efficient remedy for regulating all the wona-
i anly functions. correcting displacements as
prolapsus. anteversion and retorversion,
overcoming painful periods toning up the

by the agitation today over their op'

that this outburst of hostility toward

been difficult, and so some of those al

These records have been reproduced to

loon Battle.
New York, March 1.-One man Is
dead, two others have serious bullet
wounds and three men are under ar.
rest as a result Of free fight in a
Third avenue saloon. Michael Gallo,
the dead man, is said by the police to
have been prominent in the Black
Hand society and their theory Is that
his murder was In the nature Of an act
Of reprisal for a breach Of confidence
on his part. The men under arrest
are Louis Indorf, the bartender in the
saloon; Louis Zimmerman, con-
tractor, and Lorenzo Condessa, who
lives in the vicinity Of the saloon.
Indorf and Zimmerman are wounded.
Zimmerman was the only prisoner
who would talk. He told the police
that he had gone to the Darkroom of
the saloon with q woman about 4
o'clock In the morning. There were
many other persons in the place at
the time, much loud talk and a great
deal Of confusion. Suddenly there was
a shot, followed by regular fusillade,
and In a moment the room was so
filled with smoke that It was impos-
sible to see anything. When the pc.
lice reached the place they found
Gallo lying dead on the floor with
four. bullets in his body. Five more
bullet holes were found in the walls
of the back room.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Old Liberty Bell.


Contrary to general belief, the old
Liberty bell Is not the property Of the
nation or Of the city Of Philadelphia
but Of four sisters who are heirs OF
John Wlbank, the man who made the
new bell shortly after the old one wal
cracked and who took the old bell a
part payment. According to the Home
Magazine, three Of the sisters-M1
James B. McClosky, Mrs. G. d. Emer.
son and Mrs. s. B. Coward-Iive in
Philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs. 8. W.
B. Diehl, lives In Washington.
By an order Of the assembly Of the
province OF Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
In 1751. Soon after arriving In this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal In the same form
and with the original Inscription, PRO
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from provin-
cial authorities to the state, but in
1913 1t was purchased by the city of
Philadelphia, together with the old
statehoCse and grounds. During the
celebration over the arrival Of Lafa-
yette In 1924 the bell was rung 30 Wig
orously II became cracked and q few
months later was ordered rep.aced by
q new bell cast by John Wnbank. The
latter bell Is hanging In the steeple of
Germantown hall.

Our NaNY'a oMesrs.

In the eyes Of foreigners there are
some startling defects In the personnel
Of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not a navy In the world
numbers 30 many men Of advanced
years In command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. It Is
probable that In the event Of war last
ing year not one-hah Of the officers
at present In command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of expe-
Renee Of the main part Of the crews
Of these ships Il another weakness.
Tho percentage Of veterans In the COM
plement Of each vessel h small. Our
battleships are much underofncered
with exper 'enced subordinate officers,
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers Is due to the neglect Of congress,
which permitted Eve years to elapse
after the Spanish-American war be-
fore the number Of midshipmen was
increased at Annapolis. - Broadway

That the edges Of the gulf stream

Gently witnessed by Captain James
Horne Of the British ship Loeb Garry
On a recent trip from Australia to Bos-

says: The Loeb Garry q few days be-
fore arrival at Boston lay becalmed,
when a ripple on the sea surface
aroused anticipation not Of wind, as
was supposed, but Of the close proxim-
fly Of the mighty river In the ocean
known as the gulf stream. Spars, lum-
Der, life buoy and other hotsam were
borne past the ship to the eastward at
the rate Of about a couple Of miles an
hour, yet the vessel herself remained
In the unaffected portion Of the ocean,
