What Do They Cure?

Tho above question Is often asked con-
eerning Dr.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines, Golden Medical Discovery and
"Favorite Prescription"
The answer is that SGolden Medical

The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount OF

such men are writing for the guidance Of
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.

SOUTHWEST IS
BADLY WROUGHT
UP ABOUT HATS
Shall Plugs or Sombreros Be
Worn When President Taft
Comes to Texas?

Austin, TEX, Sept. S.--The local re-
ception committees of the towns and
cities of Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mexico, which are to greet Presi-
dent Taft when he makes his trip
through the Southwest in October, are
bothered ove the question of clothes.
In some of the towns the discussion
of how the members of the reception
committee should be rugged out on the
momehtous occasion is being carried
on in the columns of the local news
papers. There is a wide difference Of
opinion on the subject. Over in IGl
Paso some of the committeeman be-
iieve it would be proper for them to all
dress in a kin of uniform, Others say
dress suits and top hats are the right
caper and still Others want the COM
mittee to adopt the harro suit of the
Mexican ranchero.
In New Mexico and Arizona the stu
alton is just as bad. In the towns out
there the communities vow almost as
one man hat they will not discard
their white sombreros and boots for
any visitor, III matter if he is president
of the United States.

been posting himself OF the rules OF

whatever kind of attire he may choose
to wear. He believes Mr.. Taft would
be better pleased and be made to feel
more at home if the least possible
f%orrnalities were shown in the greet
ings. Judge Charles w. Ogden, who is
the head OF the a Antonio reception
committee; is also Of this opinion.

PEARY's TELEGRAM
GRAIlElEs FRIENDS

Washington, Sept. S.-"That dispatch
from Peary means that he has finally
achieved what he has SO long been
after" said Henry Gannett, an old
friend Of Peary, and vice president Of
the National Geographic society.
II am awfully glad that he has got
ten to the north pole, whether he was
the first to reach there OF not. He
certainly worked hard enough to get
there. Such a dispatch from Peary
would signify only his own achieve
ment, even If Cook was there first.
Il always thought that Peary had
the best chance Of all the men who
have gone out in the effort to reach
the north pole. He was fitted by long
experience and by his we'll known high
qualities"
Peary is personally very popular
with the scientists in Washington, and
a movement will be launched at once
to give him a rousing reception when
he gets back to this country.
Most Of the scientific colony were out
for the day and the Cosmos club,
usually a mecca for that element, was
almost deserted. Professor Willis l..
Moore, the president Of the National
Geographic society, and Professor
Cannot, one OF the board of managers
of that body, will confer tomorrow re-
garding what action should be taken
by the society.

Tangier. Sept. s.-For the purpose OF

The bandit chieftain is known to have
large amounts In foreign banks, however.
