The Many Mysteries
of Nature
RY D. W.. BOWER. M. D.

You can take an onion seed and pansy
seed, and plant them side by side IN the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
Drug, or you can plant a rhubarb seed ana
get something that helps constipation. NO
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out Of the ground seems IN
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, NJ 4,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it ali
through treating thousands Of cases. The
result of his studies was medicine calieo
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache. weakening drains, bearing-down
pains. periodical irregularities, pelvic IN
Examinations, and for the many disorders
common to women in all ages OF lie. LII:
Pierce's Favorite Prescription IS MADE OF
lady's slipper root, black cohosh root UNI
corn root, blue cohosh root and oregon
crane root. Women who take this stand
ard remedy know that in DR.. Plerce's
Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe wornan's tonic so good that druggists
everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence Of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar
cotic. DIR. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky
and morphine are injurious, and so he has
always kept them out of his remedies.

FOOD SITUATION IS
REGARDED SERIOUS
tNTER-ALLIED RELIEF COMMITS
SION REPORTS ON. coNDITIoNs
ON CONTINENT.
COAL ALSO is VERY SCARCE
Thorough Inquiry Has Been Made Into
Affairs of Poland, Austria-Hungary,
Czecho- SIovakia, Jugo-SIovakia
and Serbia.

Paris, Feb. 4.-Hugh r. Gibson, Cap
tain T. T. Ferguson, and other repre-
sentatives of the Inter-Allied Food Re
lief commission, returned to Paris to
make report to Herbert Hoover, di-
rector general Of the commission, after
several weeks travel through Poland,
Austria Hungary, Czecho Slovakia,
Jugo- Slovakia and Serbia.
Coal is now the most pressing need
in CzechO-Slovakia and Austria-Hun-
gary, said Captain Ferguson, and with
out an increased fuel supply food re-
lief on a large scale is impossible.
Only one-tenth of the possible number
of trains are operating in Austria and
Hungary because of lack of coal and
conditions are little better in Czecho.
Slovakia.
Formerly Austria-Hungary received
10000 tons of coal daily from Prussian
Silesia. This has been greatly dimin-
ished and the yield is small in Czecho-
Slovakia because of the political and
labor agitation.
Bridges Down in Serbia.
"The bridges and trestles have been
almost destroyed in Serbia, and as a
consequence motor trucks and OK carts
must be used temporarily" Captain
Ferguson said. 1.-THE railway demon
lalization is slightly less in Czecho-Slo-
vakia than in Austria-Hungary, where
few trains are operating, these being
loaded with men and women carrying
bags of food.
although the Americans cannot
expend a great amount for Austria
Hungarian relief, the Allies probably
will supply food for those two coun-
tries to avert Bolshevism and all the
American relief for Czecho-Slovakia
must pass over the disorganiZed
Austro-Hungarian railways.
''The Americans are concentrating
food at Trieste, which will be the
center of the southern relief work.
while Danzig will be the center of Pol
ish relief. But the entire campaign
is dependent upon coal which it may
be necessary to import from England
or the United States, unless arrange
ments can be made to obtain it from
Prussia, where production is less af.
fected by disorganization."
The Food administration headquar
ters announced that the American
Relief administration has received a
shipment of $4,000 tons of food from
Trieste at Prague for the Czecho-Slo-
walks.
1t is stated that the food situation
in Czecho-Slovakia is now extremely
serious and that inasmuch as Czecho-
Slovakia has no port of it's own it is
necessary to traverse the old state of
Austria in order to reach this new
nation.

WORLD CONGRESS
IS CANADIAN PLAN
DOMINION MINISTER OF JUSTICE
OUTLINES PROPOSAL FOR
ELECTIVE BODY.
LABOR HAS SIMILAR VIEWS
Project for Establishment of Repre-
sentative Body, Chosen by People
Of Nations of the World, Is
Under Discussion.

Paris. Feb. 4.-CharIes J. Doherty,
Canadian minister of justice, who has
proposed to the peace conference that
an international peoples house Of rep
resentatives be established, said:
Whence is that power of influence
to prevent war to be derived If not
from the peoples inhabiting the diff
ferent states, whose every interest de-
mands the suppression of war? Fhe
weak point in all plans so far dis
cussed is that the action Of states is
to be controlled, restrained or infiu-
enced in conferences of those states
themselves, to the exclusion of other
peoples, who are to be affected by the
decisions reached.
War Affects All.
ut must be remembered that it is
not merely the peoples of states i'm
mediately concerned who are affected
by war, but all mankind.
"How can the world be made safe
for democracy more surely than by
entrusting a share in the future
guardianship of safety, purchased at
so great price, to body representa-
tive of the worlds democracy, the
members of which have been selected
by that democracy? Inclusion in the
league Of body in which the world S
people would act through their repre-
sentatives democraticaIly elected for
that purpose by popular vote would
not prejudicially affect the powers to
be exercised by the states under any
other plans proposed. Moreover, with
in the body itself each state would
find legitimate protection in adequate
representation therein of it's own peo-
pie.
Peace Time Functions.
fThe most important function of the
suggested representative body would
be to exercise in times of peace con-
slant influence upon states in their re-
lations with each other, tending to
keep them from those differences
which give rise to conflict and make
war imminent. 1t would perform that
work Of investigation, discussion, de-
liberation and legislation, which would
take the form of the adoption of recon-
mendations addressed to the individual
states"
A project for the establishment of a
representative body, elected directly
by the people of the nations of the
world to sit in conjunction with the
proposed international labor bureau is
being quietly discussed among some
of the labor leaders in Paris
