To Constip patton
Great Care Should Be Taken Not to Use
Violent Cathartics

Women, owing to their peculiar func-
lions. are more or less liable to consti-
patton and many Of them owe their con-
tinued i'll health to the pill habit. A
well known physician lays the majority
of cases OF foul breath, bad complexion.
disordered stomach. sick headache and
female weakness to constipation and the
constant use of violent cathartics to
overcome it.
We believe women will be glad to learn
OF a safe reliable bowel and stomach
remedy that is pleasant to take and that
the first few doses will certainly produce
natural daily movements without pain or
grippe and in a short time establish a per-
manent cure. So 1t is effective it has
cured cases of 60 years standing and
yet so mild and safe thousands of moth
ers give it to their babies. q Jennie

We are still waiting for some reason
why ballots marked for Taft or BRYAN

brilliant illusions. 1t seems he is in
his old habit of trying to place his
political adversaries in false light.
No one has ever made a pretense that
votes should not be uniformally count
ed, and no one knows it better than
Burrows. We will make this PROPOSE
ton to that and all other papers of that
iik: Let a recount be made at once, ac-
cording to established rules, and if the
recount shows that Jameson has not
majority we will say and urge that Mr..
Jameson quietly turn the Office over to
Mr.. Hepburn. We will go further and
say we will support the republican
nominee two years hence. We will do
this If these papers will on the other
hand agree to urge Hepburn to drop his
contest in case it shows Hepburn did
not receive a majority. We insist on
this recount being done right here in
the Eighth district by judges selected
by each one interested, they to choose
a third one, and not proceed on an Aft
dayit policy before congressional
committee. Now do you want square
deal or will you insist on the policy as
outlined by Hepburns attorney in

THE HOME RECIPE.
Druggists Here in Town Say They
Can Supply the Ingredients or
Make Up The Mixture.

Get from any prescription pharma-
rist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and at
bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to re-
lieve baclache, kidney trouble, weak
bladder and all forms of urinary difficult
ties. This mixture acts promptly on
the elminative tissues of the kidneys,
enabling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the az
f,ictions may not feel inclined to place
much confidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slightest
injury to the stomach or other organs.
Mix some and give it trial. 1t GER
tainly comes highly recommended. 1t
is the prescription of an eminent au-
thority, whose entire reputation, it is
said, was established by it.
A druggist here at home, when asked
stated that he could either supply the
ingredients or mix the prescription for
our readers, also recommends it as
harmless.

HANDICAPPED.
This Is the Case With Many Leon
People.

Too many Leon citizens are handi-
capped with bad back. The unceas-
ing pain causes unceasing misery, max
ing work burden and STOPPING or lift
ing an impossibility. The back aches
at night, preventing refreshing rest and
in the morning is stiff and lame. Plas-
tiers and liniment may give relief but
cannot reach the cause. To eliminate
the pains and aches you must cure the
kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys
and cure them permanently. Can you
doubt Leon evidence?
John Holden, living in Leon, Iowa,
says: 81 have thoroughly tested the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills on several
occasions and found them to be exactly

Every body owes it to himself and to
others to get the best good out of life,
but how to get it is the question.
Certainly it is not to be acquired by
fretting and complaining, ever looking
upon the dark side. Rather it is to be
found by cheerfully performing our daily
duties, by doing good and by taking
our proper place in the world.

A COURTHOUSE SITE FREE

The Press was asked this morning
by prominent citizen of st. Maries
whether Occur d'Alene intended to
donate a site for the courthouse If the
people decided to remove the county
seat to this city. We informed him
that they not only intended to donate
the site, but would make it at least
one complete city block, II not two
acres. Two or three sites are offered
the committee and selection will be
made from one of these. We can as
sure our st. Maries friends, as well
as those OF other parts of the county
and we have the word of the coun-
ty seat removal committee for it,
that a site which is convenient and
close to the hotels and business dis
trict, will be given absolutely free to
the county, and when our Rathdrum
friends tell the people that the county
will be compelled to purchase a site
at inflated or any other price they
are engaged In deliberate attempt
to deceive. Their statements are
false and we win prove them such
before the campaign Is half over by
a guarantee that Is beyond a question
Of doubt This ought to put quie-
tus to the falsehoods that are being
circulated regarding this matter. The
people OF the county would not be
selfish enough to ask for more.--a
free site they are entitled to and shall
have,

and full and slashed up the back and
trimmed with bordering. The v out
line extends almost to the waist line.
The under blouse is of lace
The tunic mode is used for the
shawl patterns now so well liked for
gowns. These shawls come in five
pieces oblong in shape enough for a
gown, and the contrasting square at
the end of each square is used for the
points of the tunic points. One square
makes point of the tunic and is so
arranged and is longer back and
front than at the side.
II care is taken in the choosing of
the shawls very pretty effect can be
gained by these arrangements.
The shawl designs and bordered
goods are particularly adapted to the
flounced skirts. Where the goods is
so cut the border is at the lower edge,
the yoke of the dress may be of the
border as well as the cuffs and belt.
A null having very handsomely
Powered border used this trimming
In the waist only. The material was
of amethyst wool batiste The skirt
was characterized by a close-fitting
top and fulness In the lower part OBJ
tanned by means of sections inserted
between the cores and laid in close
plaits from the point of insertion to
the lower edge. 1t was in sweep
length The waist proper Is Of the
null and the overblouse of flower
ed border in jumper style, which con-
sists of two pieces only and the back
edges meet at the waist line while the
front edges are connected by straps
just above the top of the wide girdle.
Another development could be from
white linen and Dresden ribbon in a
wide style and could be used for the
oyerblouse or the strap.
Many of the ginghams are shown
with borders and its adaptability is
exampled in the trotteur skirt and
bolero waist, or jumper, or over
blouse. A plain and border ging-
ham was deftly arranged in using
the Bingham on the cross-wise of
the goods instead of the length
wise cut, the fulness at the top
being disposed of in cores and small
plaits and letting the material fall
In its natural lines. The waist was of
white muslin with straps or rather
folds Of the border over the shoulders
and the girdle of the same. The col
ors used were slate grey edged with
stripes OF white and lighter grey with
narrow lines of black. A dash of col
or was introduced in the muslin waist
in the collar and cuffs, where en-
broidered dots in red made bright
finish.
A second Bingham was in pink hav-
ing scroll design in white and which
was wide enough to make the narrow
panels that alternated with the plaits
of the plain goods. The overblouse
was laid In alternate tucks and straps
of the border. The sleeves were fin
ished with cuffs of the border and the
belt and collar.

ST. LOUIS, April 9.-st. Louis is
still on the map and wagging along
with the rest of the world, despite
the prediction of an evangelist that
the metropolis of the Mississippi
would be wiped out by earthquakes,
cyclones, fire and flame during the
present week. John Mess, known as
the "boy preacher" was the author of
the dire foreboding as to the fate of
st. Louis, which he has branded as
the wickedest city in the world. .
Many of Mess's followers fed from
the city, but are now returning, with
their confidence in the ability of the
hoy preacher" as a prophet consid-
erably diminished. Mess admits that
he may have made mistake in his
calculations, but insists that st. Louis
will soon lie in ruins and that it's
destruction will herald the end of the
world. Mess declares that st. Louis
is the plague spot of the universe and
that it is worse than New York, Paris,
Chicago or San Francisco.
