A Columbus. Ohio. dispatch indicates

On tho other hand. Bryan has been a

What Is The Cause Of
Backache2
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most common
ailment 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 o form Of
catarrh that settles in the delicate men,
branes Of the feminine organs. When
these organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bearing
down sensations, weakness, unhealthy dis
charges, irregularity, painful periods, irri-
tation, headache and general rundown
condition. Any woman in this condition
Is to be piticd, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is q separate and dis
tinct medicine for women. II 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 a natural remedy for wo-
men, for the vegetable gowths Of which il
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 reassuring to know that il
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. .,- b,

LUXEAIBURG

Even so charming sovereign as
the Grand Duchess Marie OF Luxem-
burg has to take her place in the
long line of Europe's royal has
beens.
Marie committed the fatal error
of picking the wrong side for a win
ner. If Germany had emerged vic
torious, possibly the Luxemburgers
would have continued to overlook, as
their ruler did. the gross violations
of their rights involved in the inva-
sion and occupation of their coun-
try. Now 1t is remembered against
the grand duchess that she even fra
ternized with the invader, welcom-
ing the German royal family and
the army staff to her palace. With
Germany down and out, Luxembourg
is swept by the wave of democracy
So lovely Marie is canned" and is
on her way somewhere or other with
a couple of suitcases. She will moi
come back.
Following her departure Luxem.
burg was proclaimed a republic. Now
it is said that the people want to be
annexed to France. Their little
country formerly had its neutrality
guaranteed by the European powers
like Belgium. Nobody wants sucf
guarantees as that any longer. Bel
GUM has declared her complete in
dependence. Luxembourg hardl!
feels equal to that, and so seeks t.
= snuggle up to some stronger nation
Geographically she seems to be
long with Belgium rather thai
France; but II the majority prefe
France 1t is not likely that any O
the powers win object. Thus Franc
will gain another reward Of virtu
and an added bulwark against Ger
many.
