Wonan'S True Friend

Experimenting with new and untried medicines
IS foolish, and often dangerous. 1t would take
a medicine more than forty years, to prove itself
so universally good as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
S%cription. During all that time it has been wom-
ans favorite medicine-a restorative tonic, uplift-
ing and invigorating the nervous and discouraged
and giving them the final touch of perfect health.
Women use Dr. Perce's EavOrife Prescription
in preference 10 all other advocated medicines
for II contains no alcohol or habif-fOrming
drugs-iS nor anything IKE advertised, secret,
to do impossible things.
n ONE REMEDY for women devised by a
regularly graduated physician of Vast experience
In Woman'S ailments, and adapted to her deli
cate organism.
The N REMEDY good enough that It's makers
are nor afraid TO print It's every Ingredient on
It's outside wrapper.
You can't afford to allow yourself to be over
persuaded into accepting any secret nostrum as
a substitute for this honest square-deal non-secret
medicine. Don't do it. No honest druggist will
attempt to cheat you in this way. He who does
should be rebuked and avoided. Doctors pre-
scribe DIR. PierCe's Favorite Prescription for their
worst cases because they know what it contains
and know its ingredients to be of the very best.
It's well now and then to gently cleanse out bowel germs
that breed weakness, cause foul breath, loss of appetite, dizzi-
ness and headache. DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets keep bow
els sweet and clean. Recommended by druggists because of
their purity, goodness, and active genteness.

man under the third republic. His re-
turn to political prominence in 1906,
after his brilliant service as an editor,
was a surprise 1t also turned out to
be a success. he found France con
fronted by many grave problems, not
ably the relationship between church
and state, and he attacked these prob
lens fearlessly. His attitude on the
religious question excited violent hos
tility, yet his cabinet safely passed
crisis after crisis. His vigorous, up-to-
date ideas won supporters on all sides,
though no side was very sure CT him,
as the comment on his defeat shows.
But this very characteristie-this trim
ming of sails to catch every helpful
breeze from any quarter-undoubtedly
contributed to the comparatively long
duration of his term as premier.
So it seems likely that what may be
called the Clemenceau policies will be
continued in France for some time to
come They are generally approved.

May. he dictated the price Of wheat
throughout the world.
Last fall" he continues, j had in

there would be a shortage IN wheat.
