Thousands of women right here in Ken

health cannot understand why thousands
OF other women continue to worry and
suffer from ailments peculiar to women
when they can obtain for a trifling sum
Dr: Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
will surely and quickly Danish all pain,
distress and misery and restore the
womanly functions to perfect health.
Young mothers who preserve the
charms OF face and figure in spite of an
increasing family and the care Of growing
children are always to be envied. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription gives the
strength and health upon which happy
motherhood depends. 1t practically does
away with the pains of maternity. It
enables the mother to nourish the infant
life depending on her, and enjoy the
hourly happiness Of watching the develop
ment of perfectly healthy child.
Sick headache, biliousness, costiveness,
and all arrangements Of the liver, stomach
and bowels are relieved, prevented, by

GERMAN TREATMENT
OF PRISONERS.

With the British Armies in France.
May 14.-Three British soldiers who
have just succeeded in escaping pris-
on camp few miles back of the fight
ing lines tell a pitiaDle story OF their
treatment by the enemy. They declar-
ed there WIS great deal of sickness in
the camp, due to fatigue and starya-
ton.
IF we showed the slightest DISPOSE
ton to get sick" said one of the men,
TO the correspondent day. I'VE eth
er were thrashed with whips or struck
with the butt end Of rifle"
Although this soldier mad been in
enemy hands only three months he had
dropped in weight from lS2 pounds to
los. He was living skeleton. His feet
had been frozen and were gangrenous
for lack of treatment. The men had
neither overcats nor blankets during
the coolest weather Of the winter When
captured during a raid they wore leath-
er Jackets. These the Germans took
away from them Immediately. They al
so stripped the rubber lining from their
shrapnel helmets and took away their
regimental badges for the brass that
was in them.
One of the men during the perilous
trip across No Mans Land at the end
of the escape, was badly wounded. For
food the prisoners received daily a
quarter loaf of bread, one plate of thin
soup and about every second day cup
OF weak coffee substitute. On few &C.
casions they had bit of meat about
the size of a lump Of sugar. Recently
the men were compelled to work so
near the front that they came under
shellfire from the British guns.
French prisoners constantly are en-
ployed just back of the firing line and
suffer many casualties, the two report.
In the camp, however, the French pris
oners are better treated than the Eng
fish. It was strange TO hear this story
in view of the sleek appearance of the
German prisoners in English hands, all
well fed, well nourished, paid for their
bits of labor and permitted to buy com
forts at the canteens under the same
conditions as the Tomnies.

NAL. The higher the mountain or
plateau the higher the material under
it, says Popular Mechanics.
The comparison is made with an Ice
berg, the visible portion of which is
held above water by the ice below,
which has a specific gravity lower
than water. The light material under
the mountains, corresponding to the
submerged part Of an iceberg, extends
down to a depth of about sixty miles.
Likewise the bottom of the ocean is de-
pressed, the report shows, because the
material under it is heavier than nor
