What Is The Cause Of
Packache?
81 DOCrOR CORNELL

Daekache is perhaps the most common
aiImcnt from which women suffer. Rarely
do you find anybody free from It. Some
times the cause is obscure but DR.. Pierce,
OF Buffalo, n Y, high medical authority,
says the cause is very often form Of
catarrh that settles in the delicate mem
branes Of the feminine organs. When
these organs are inhamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bearing
down sensations, weakness, unhealthy dis
charges, irregularity painful periods, irri-
tation, headache and q general rundown
condition Any woman in this condition
is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is a separate and dis
tinct medicine for women. 1t is made Of
roots and herbs put up without alcohol or
opiate Of any kind, for DR.. Pierce uses
nothing else in his prescription. Favorite
Prescription is q natural remedy for VIC
men, for the vegetable growths Of which it
is made seem to have been intended by
Nature for that very purpose. Thousands
OF girls and women, young and old, have
taken it, and thousands have written
grateful letters to DR.. Pierce saying it
made them well In taking Favorite Pre-
scription, it is rcassuring to know that It
goes straight to the cause of the trouble.
There is but one way TO overcome sickness,
and that is to overcome the cause. That
is precisely what Favorite Prescription is
intended TO do.

AUTO
KILLED A P|CLE1
(By Associated Press

Paris, April 10.-The French pa
pers delight in anecdotes of the good
relations between the American SOL
diers and the peasants. One of these
stories with which General Per
shing's name is coupled, is printed
this week.
"A big American military automo-
bile tore through French village
yesterday on its way to an Ameri-
can camp" says a Lyons paper. "Un-
fortunately pig belonging to an old
peasant woman strayed into the path
of the car and was killed. The old
lady was heartbroken. But few
days later letter came for her en-
closing check for hundred francs
and saying how sorry the writer was
for the death of the pig.
The signature was that of General
Pershing.

GERMAN SHELL
SHAKES UP BABIES

Paris, April 12.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1.-THE Ger
man long distance shell which struck
maternity hospital yesterday kill
ing mothers by the side of their in
fants, sent shudder of horror over
Paris, which since the hecatomb OF
Good Friday thought it had become
impervious to such an emotion. 1t al
so created confusion among the sur
viving mothers, some of whom have
been unable to identify. their off
spring among the babies that escap-
ed the shell of the assassin.
The projectil exploded in a dormi-
tory containing twenty beds, killing
two mothers and one baby, wounding
many others and completely wrecking
the room. Through the cloud of dust
and dirt, nurses and attendants rush
ed in and carried the wounded and
women who were i'll to another room,
returning Immediately for the infants.
One baby had been thrown out Of its
cradle ten feet away but was quite
unhurt The babies were carried and
deposited pellmell on beds in room
quickly prepared to receive the pa
tients so violently elected by the Ger
man gun.
After some order had been restor-
ed it was found that six mothers were
unable to decide which was their own
among six infants. They had all been
born on the same day and in the hus-
tie and hustle of removing the infants
from one room to the other the identi-
flying tags had become detached.

DEADLOCK OVER
MAIL CONTRACTS

Washington. May i0.-A'. deadlock
over mail contracts involving the
post office department and the Inter
island Steam Navigation company,
which has monopoly of transpor-
tation between the islands of the
Hawaiian group, may result in APP
plication for congressional action, ac-
cording to Otto Prayer, second as
sistant post master general.
Four year contracts for carrying
the mails between the islands are eX-
piring, and when new ones were pro-
posed in February, the department
found that acceptance of the bids
would entail an annual payment of
more than 100 per cent over the $40,
900 formerly charged for the service.
The islands, scattered over several
degrees of latitude and longitude, are
still being served, but the govern
ment has refused to pay the new
price. has offered instead 25 per
cent increase, and the company has
refused that.
"As a remedy, the department is
considering asking congress for leg
islaton which will compel transpor-
tation companies to accept mail for
carriage at rates made for carrying
express" Mr.. Prayer said. "The Ha-
waiian situation is typical of others
arising in other sections of the Un-
tied States. If we had new power to
compel the Hawaiian island carriers
to accept mail as express, that sit
uation could be cleared up rapidly.
"Also, the came power. if granted
by congress, would operate to get
better and cheaper service elsewhere
in the United States"
Hawaiian mails are increasing in
volume, and in number Of points Of
destination to be served. the depart
ment records show Mail goes by the
trans-Pacific steamers to Honolulu,
and thence is distributed by the email

Amsterdam, April 2.-In order to
prevent the recurrence of strikes in
