WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Its War Time Aspect

London, Feb. 18th: The women Of
England are doing their duty. They
are taking care of the wounded or
II they cannot assist in work of that
kind they are adding their savings to
promote the good work. They are
knitting and sewing for the soldiers
at the front The suffragists have
given so little trouble to the govern
ment that it will undoubtedly soften
the hearts of those in Parliament,
since the 'militants" have turned ali
their energies to aid the fighting men
of England, and so suffrage may soon
come after this terrible war is over.
Thousands of women in America
have overcome their sufferings. and
have been cured of womanly ills by
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
This medicine, though started nearly
half a century ago, sells more widely
to-day than any other womanly tonic
1t can now be had in tablet form as
well as liquid, and every woman who
suffers from backache, headache.

take this Prescription" of DIR. Pierce.
Many a woman is nervous and ir-
ritable, feels dragged down and worn
out for no reason that she can think
of. In ninety-nine per cent of these
cases it is the womanly organism
which requires attention; the weak
back dizzy spells and black circles
about the eyes, are only symptoms.
Go to the source of trouble and cor
rect the Irregularities, the drains on
the womanly system and the other
symptoms disappear.

FREE HOMESTEAD LANDS
OF COLORADO DESCRIBED

A Great deal is being said and writ

of the state is still vacant and wait
ing the homeseeker, it is natural that
there is much desirable land still
open; but where it is and how to find
1t has proven a very serious problem
to those who wish to use their home
stead right and claim the valuable
farming lands which Uncle Sam is
anxious to give away.
We are indebted to the Clason Map
Company. 1915 fremont Place, Den

RADIO, Described" price $500, which
they have just issued covering the
subject quite fully.
This new book is a technical de-
tailed publication that is certain to
be of great value to everyone seeking
the free land. 1t gives accurate de-
scriptions of about fifteen hundred
townships in this state which still
contain vacant lands. These descrip-
tions tell the character of the soil !;
the character of the surface; whether
1t is necessary to irrigate: whether
the land is suitable for farming; the
distance from railroad; the elevation
above sea level; annual rainfall and
estimated value per acre.
