IT'S NO SECRET

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified TO successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DE-.
Pierce, Of Buffalo, MY. The cases that
come to him run into many Thousands,
giving him an experience that rarely
comes to any one man. DR.. Pierce found
that in nearly every case there were
certain vegetable growths which rarely
failed to give prompt relief in thoss
feminine disorders FROM which so many
women suffer. He combined these roots
and herbs into temperance medicine
that he called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription. This medicine Is sold in both
liquid and tablet form by druggists every
where. Aweakly sicxly, backachy, head
achy, nervous, respondent woman, with
regular or irregular pains--with feminine
disorders that come in youth or middle
age-is pretty sure to find in Dr.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription the exact remedy
that her condition calls for.

Arrested fer Il Per.
F'rinstince, even that center OF
progress, New York City. enacted an
ordinance in 1899 which allowed au-
tomobiles to turn corners not faster
than four miles an hour. There also
was a law forbidding automobiles in
Central Park, and an arrest was made
in that same year for violation Of the
restriction. Automobiles were barred
from ferry boats; and one Jacob Ger
man was arrested for driving his
horseless conveyance down Lexing-
ton avenue at a terrific rate Of speed
which, IL it had been permitted to
continue, would have amounted to
covering a distance OF about twelve
miles in one hour.
Meanwhile Boston excluded auto
mobiles from her streets between the

A recent analysis of the dairy busi'

showed that each OF these farms pro

tee:
'Supposing that farmer has beer
in the habit of feeding surplus milk
or other supplies to live stock because
the value was insufficient to warrant
a drive to market. the truck will en-
ablo him to send It to market at
nominal cost.
For instance. a farmer has been
driving three miles to town, occupy
ing his time and that Of his team
say three hours. By using truck
service the loss Of time is reduced to,

Guard Your Car.
Auto theft insurance mounts while
the evil Of car stealing remains una
bated. Everything should not be left
to the police and insurance compan-
les. Too many policy holders are in
inclined to become careless while they
feel their own risk covered which
encourages car stealing and makes
insurance premiums go higher
Every owner should have an effective
lock and leave his car alone as little
as possible. Vigilance on the part
of owners will do more than all other
agencies toward making the auto
thiefs calling unattractive.

Punches Holes In Law.
Here comes Ohio and punches holes
n the ancient and more or less hon
orable speed limit Ohio may have
beaten the barrier in the Sahara
stakes, but its legislature certainly

Ohio used to have those old-fash-

teen and twenty-five miles per hour.
Then the Ohio State Automobile As
sociation went to Columbus, and sat
on the state house steps. And they
sat on the steps so effectively that
the legislature just kicked the old
limits into the automatic cooked hat.
They enacted a law that says nobody
shall drive recklessly, taking into
consideration the width. traffic, use
and general rules OF the highway.
The new: Ohio law further says that
rates of speed in excess OF fifteen
