Half a dozen of these comparatively

SO wholly disproportionate to their

The woman's Sacrifice.

PARIS, April $3.50 p. m. Away
from the battlefield one sees war
stripped Of its glamor. We see the
heroic work OF nurses who are on duty
dav and night. There is devotion,
seif-sacrifice, suffering patriotism
qualities which Only great war and
it's terrible consequences can inspire
to the highest development. The
women everywhere are helping and
everywhere one sees self-sacrif1ce ana
devotion to country.
The women of the United States
do not know how fortunate they are.
Here there are plenty OF women who
suffer in silence, whose strength Is
out OF proportion to their ambition.
Their hands are tied by some chronic
disease common to womankind; that
weak back, accompanied by pain here
or there. extreme nervousness, may
be fainting spells or spasms, are all
signals of distress for women. She
NAV be growing from girlhood into
womanhood, passing from womanhood
to motherhood, and later suffering
from that change which leaves so
many wrecks Of women. At any or
all of these periods Of woman's life
she should take a tonic and nervine,
prescribed for just such cases by a
physician of vast experience in the
diseases of women. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has successfully
treated more cases the past fifty
years than any other known remedy.

EEEIclENr PUBLICITY.

The idea is entertained by some o.
the older type of merchants that the
good repute OF their firm is spread
from mouth to mouth in conversation
and that they do not need to adyef
tise in the newspapers.
That condition may have prevailed
many years ago when people mac
nothing else to do but gossip about
their neighbors. In those times every
one discussed all Of his home pur'
.chases with all his neighbors.
Today man who depends upon
conversation and gossip to spread the
news OF his store will not find that
his place of business Is much ire
auented. People do not exchange in
formation about their domestic habits
as they used to. You have little idea
whether your neighbors buy their
goods of Smith. Jones or Brown. The
world Is full of wide interests and
the bargains one may find in certain
store are ordinarily known only to
those who find them.
The newspaper is the only efficient
means of acquaintfng the public with
the business news OF the town. For
one person that will learn something
about given store by word OF mouth,
a hundred learn about 1t through
notices.
The advertising columns of news
paper are read just as attentively as
any sensation that may appear in
the news columns.
The results of the two policies are
obvious. In one case merchant
drags along, with only a small part
of the community knowing anything
about what is happening in his store.
In the other case practically every
one knows when that merchant has
special bargains, and what can be
done in his store at any given time.
Can there be the least question as
to what kind of merchants get the
business?

HUNDRED MILLION COUNTRY.


Statisticians agree that this coun-
try has now more than 100 ,00O, 000 In

census bureau allows that we passed
the round figure yesterday at p. m.
Actuary Mccoy of the treasury calcu-
lated that there were 100,016 900 per
sons here by February 1.
Mr.. McCoy's method OF compute.
ton seems more reasonable, since he
reckons increase as compounded,
while Mr.. Sloane simply adds the
growth OF the former decade. But the
ten-year increase has uniformly pro
crossed since the civil war. 1t was
7.115.b00 in 1870, 1887 900 in 1880.
2.467 900 in 1880, 1891. 900 in 1900
and 1881. 900 in 1910. The average
acceleration of increase has been
more than 100000; so that the in

Let us scatter the sunshine every
