council acted the news was heralded
as thoroughly as both of the city's
knew how. and ut that
time 1t was pretty generally known
that the measure was going to be
adopted by the board Of aldermen.
The dairymen were fully aware OF
what the law required and II they
came into the city to sell milk in vio-
lation OF the law, they should be
made to accept the consequences.

ANCIENT LONGEVITY RECORD.
Queen Mother Of the Last King OF
Babylon Centenar1an.

To those interested in the history
of human longevity it is well known
that the record upon an oid Egyptian
papyrus contains sort of lament OF
a veteran Egyptian who had attained
the age OF 10 years ana complains
of the discomfort arising from I'M
paired nutrition, loss of vision, and
general seniiity.
Recently it was stated IN report
from Russia that there was presented
to the car a man aged 126 years VINO
remembered distinctly serving in the
army in the campaign Of Borodlno IN
1912. Another instance of very ad-
yanced age has been discovered in an
ancient record, this time in BaDylonla
and relates to a member OF the gen
tier sex.
NJ. Pognon, the French consul at
Mossul, recently published a volume
of inscriptions copied by him from
various old monuments during his
long residence in MesOpotamia, anu
among these is one in cuneiform Wit
ing giving the honorable life history
of a lady named SOumona Damqa'
who was the queen mother OF Ma
bonidus. the last king Of Babylon.
The inscription is supposed to De
written by herself. and 1t is quite pos
sibIe that it was dictated by her to a
scribe shortly before her cecease.
It assures US that because Of her
devotion to her favorite deity, Sin, the
moon god, he had raised her head
(aboye that of common folk. had
accorded her an illustrious name IN

FooLisH As WELL As MALICIOUS

when MIR. Hearst made an alleged
message from the president Of the
Federation Of Labor an ex'
cuse for delivering himself of a ma
aicious, seH-iauding attack upon the
Democratic party. the public simply
supposed that the yellow editor was
playing the game after the fashion

Mr.. Hearst announced with his Gus

faith In the Democratic party and ita
leaders" and intimated that the party
would never regain power except un'
der the leadership of himself, was
lust what was to have been expected
had Mr.. Gompers been foolish enough,
TO appeal to Mr.. Hearst to support
the Democratic ticket. But the public
was not prepared to believe thai
even william Randolph Hearst would
have the foolhardy efYroutery to per
pesrate such a thing rs this cable
gram In answer to an appeal which
had never been made.
Z Gompers' denial that he made an
appeal to Hearst is emphatic and
unequivocal. He says. ~ did not send
that, or any other message. to Mr.
Hearst" No doubt Hearst will give
some sort of explanation for his ac'
ton, but Gompers' statement is be-
lieved by the public, and, fortunately

little dependence In anything ema

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, and no narcotics or
other harmful or habit-forming drugs,
as will be seen from its published in
gradients. 1t contains only such native,
medicinal roots as are most highly rec
commended by leading medical writers
and practitioners of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure of wom-
ans delicate and peculiar ailments. 1t
Is safe for women to take IN any con-
ditiOn of the system, as it assists Nature
in restoring the healthful action of all
the organs distinctly feminine.
Natures own cure. In fact, VIA
vorite Prescription is Natures own
cure for the many arrangements and
weaknesses peculiar to women. 1t is
advised for no other diseases.
If you are a weak, tired, nervous,
over-worked, broken-down, pain-racked
woman, either young, old or middle
aged, suffering from frequent headaches,
backaches, dizziness or fainting spells,
gnawing or distressed feeling in stomach,
perhaps see imaginary specks, or dark
spots floating before the eyes, have
dragging down or heavy feeling in lower
abdomen, or pelvic region, with, per-
haps, pelvic catarrh, or other symptoms
Of functional or organic affections of the
distinctly feminine organs, then you will
make no mistake if you resort to the
use of DR.. Pierce Favorite Prescription.
The most advanced medical science
knows no better agents for the cure of
all such diseases than are happily and
tremendously combined in this widely
famed "Prescription of DR.. Pierce.
You can't afford to accept any secret
nostrum of unknown composition and
OF questionable merit as a substitute
for this professionally endorsed and time
tested remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION,
simply that some unprincipled dealer
may make little larger profit. Don't
expect it to perform miracles but give
it fair, persevering trial and it is not
likely to disappoint you. 1t won't vdis-
solve tumors NO medicine aCiU. It
WtU cure larger percentage of all cur
able ailments which especially afflict
womankind than any other medicine
sold by druggists for that purpose.
AS to DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery it has very large range of
commended as a You're 1t pos
sesses marvellous Alternative, or blood
cleansing, properties and is at the same
strength giver. 1t exerts specific,
cleansing, soothing and healing effect
upon all the lining mucous membranes
OF the system; hence, its great curative
value in all catarrhal affections, no
matter where located.
In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is well

times a day with DR.. Sage's Catarrh

Farmers, you have won the victory
