WOMEN OF RUSSIA.

Petrograd, Feb. 4th: AS the war con-
tinues the women on the border suffer
the horrors of war and the mothers
and orphans left at home are the ones
who suffer most. In America are mary
mothers and daughters, who were left
penniless by the war of the Rebellion,
but their suffering are as nothing to
the women and children left as widows
and orphans of the soldiers who have
fought and bled for their country in
Europe.
Many a mother and daughter have
reason to be thankful to DR.. Pierce for
relief from suffering and the cure of
those weaknesses of their sex, because
of his "Favorite Prescription" This
tonic. which is strictly a temperance
medicine, has cured thousands of those
weaknesses, headaches, nervousness,
backaches, which are the outward
manifestations of disease in women.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
speedily causes all womanly troubles to
disappear-compelst the organs to prop
erly perform their natural functions,
corrects displacements, overcomes ir-
Irregularities, removes pain and misery
at certain times and brings back
health and strength to nervous, irrit-
able and exhausted women.
1t is a wonderful prescription pre-
pared only from natures roots and
herbs with no alcohol to falsely stimu-
late and no narcotics to wreck the
nerves. 1t banishes pain. headache,
backache, low spirits. hot flashes,
dragging down sensation. worry and
sleeplessness surely and without loss
of time.
What DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion has done for thousands 1t will do
for you. It's not a secret remedy for
it's ingredients are printed on wrapper.
Get it this very day at any medicine
dealers in either liquid or tablet form.

Des Moines. Feb. 1.-THE decision of
the Iowa supreme court, extending the
time for the evacuation of the streets
Of Des Moines by the Harris inter-
ests of Chicago with their street rail-
way tracks and cars until June 90, must
not be taken by the courts and liti-
gants as a precedent to be followed in
other similar cases.
I'm this case am inclined to agree
with the court" said H. w. Byers,
counsel for the city, who opposed
granting the years extension asked.
The court simply passed over all
matters and considering only what is
equitable granted reasonable extern
sion Of time. 1t happens that in just
about one case out of thousand, this
exception should be made, and this
happened to be the thousandth case,
but it would never do to follow the rule
generally.
1T is an interesting fact that two
courts having to pass on practically the
identical question: federal court and
state court-would have reached ex-
actly opposite conclusions In the
water company case the federal court,
following the rule of the United States
supreme court, refused to bend in the
least and refused to grant any ex-
tension of time. even tho the decree
was in that case an interlocutory de-
cree and the case was pending. But
our state supreme court, refusing to be
bound by any such hard and fast rule,
cut thru the technicalities and granted
the street car company an extension
on decree which was final and con-
elusive and which held that the COM
pany has no right whatever in the
streets and has not had any such
right for many years. Simply because
everyone knows and recognizes that it
was right to grant some reasonable ex-
tension the Iowa court brushes aside
the strict rules: but the federal court
stiffly stands by a rule that may not
always work out for equity"
The extension of time granted will
give Promoter Schmidt all the time he
really needs for getting his franchise
fairly before the people. It will also
bring matters to elimination at a
time when the walking is good and the
iitneys ought to be working fine.
