The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every oottle of DR.. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family MedI-
cines In class all bU themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent. or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed Of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invigoratOr,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"FavOrite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities tnem
TO a place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, OF proper
strength, Is better solvent and presery-
ative of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medl-
cinal plants than Is alcohol and, further
more that IL possesses valuable medicinal
properties Of its own, being demnlcent,
nutrltive, antiseptic. and most efhcient
antiferment.
Neither OF the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines
Every ingredient entering into the com
position OF DR.. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind OF an endorsement
from leading medical writer's OF the
several schools Of practice. No othei
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation. Constipation is the cause OF
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease, One "Pellet" Is gentle
laxative, and two mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing Is "just as
good" Easy to take as candy.

NEIGHBORS INDULGE
IN THREE-SIDED ROW

A clothes line row took up the time
of Police Justice Chambers for nearly
two hours yesterday. The quarrel IN
volved three families and all We're rep
resented in court. At times the con-
fusion approached the violence of a
Donnybrook fair and the court had
difficulty in Strengthening out the tan
gle.
Abbie Randall was the defendant, and
the controversy hinged on personal
encounter said to have taken place be-
tween the woman and her sister-in-law,
Miss Kittie Morris, at the formers
home, 1547 East Forty-eighth street.
Godfrey Wynne was the chief witness
for the prosecution, but could help little
in Strengthening out the tangle. The
case was thrown out of court.

HAS CURE FOR CAR SHORTAGE
Erie Official Says Car Pool Presents
the Remedy

At a meeting of the Traffic club of
New York few days ago c. c. Riley,
superintendent of transportation of the
Erie. gave an address upon the sub
pect of car shortage in which he said:
1.-THE one remedy proposed which will
most likely receive a trial is the pooling
of equipment. If the car pool were
universally adopted the advantage
would be with the line that owned
sufficient number of cars to transact
it's business, as under the provisions
of the pool it would be entitled to as
many cars on it's line at all times as
1t had in the pool.
1.-THE borrowing lines would be the
sufferers.
"It is from this source that the bene-
fits would accrue, as the roads which
do not own sufficient number of cars
in which to handle their business would
be required to obtain them.
Unfortunately, too many patrons of
the railroads have expended most of
their energy in production and failed
to make provision for the storing the
output until ready for shipment Nor
has proper provision been made for
incoming raw material, the railroads
being expected to furnish facilities in
both instances

WOULD DRIVE OUT
FAKE AUCTIONEERS
JAPANESE GET EX0RBITANT
PRICES FOR GOODS
Tourists Usually Are Victims OF the
Spurious Curio Dealers, Who
Sell Phony Stuff at
High Figures

When the police commission meets
again next week the war against rake
auctioneers will be renewed.
At the last session a dozen auction
eers lost their licenses for neglectlng
to nav up. The tip had gone out that
the council would reduce the fees ana
thew held back, much to the chagrln OF
the license collector, who notified the
police commission of the delinquency
Since then there has been clash be-
tween Chief Kern and Collector John-
son as to whose duty 1t was TO prevent
the unlicensed auctioneers from doing
business in the meantime. Chief Kern
held that the special officer attached
to the collectors Office should enforce
the law, while the latter held that the
contract was too big for him to take
alone. Thus some of the auctioneers
have continued operations notw1th-
standing the fact that the commits
sioners had revoked their former rights.
one of those who has been specially
active in his fight against fake Japan
ese auctioneers is j. Z. Steward of
South Broadway, who for twenty years
has sold curios and Japanese ware
here.
''People will avoid legitimate auctions
and stores which are permanent and
flock into these fiy-by-night Japanese
stores and pay from Two 10 Ten lilles
the value of goods offered.
There are a dozen Of these places
in operation right now which were
started with the advent of the tourist
season and the victims are usually
tourists who find in the end that they
have been duped. These people carry
back tales east which reflect on our
business men, when it is plainly their
own fault.
"These fellows who work off spurious
goods should be taxed so highly that
they can't afford to do business.
"They sell the cheapest pottery as
Satsuma ware after putting 1t into
fancy boxes. Anthony and lead sells
for bronze Bronze lacquer Is passed
off as inlaid gold. Plated brass passes
for solid brass. SoftWood cabinets that
fall to pieces after a year are sold as
hardwood goods. These impositions are
ruinous to legitimate California mer-
chants who pay taxes buy property
here and maintain white salespeople
on good wages.
"The strangest feature Is that prices
are really lower than what the japanese
get for the same goods. ! know of peo-
pie paying S45 for articles that are
worth So and not a dollar more.
at Is about time for the legitimate
business men TO get together to head
off this fake auction evil, in which not
only tourists, but our own home people,
suffer heavily. 1t Injuries the curio,
bric-a-brac and imported goods trade"
