Campbell believes Kiewel was not
acting for the creamery when he sent
the butter to St. aPul on July %,
but was storing the food as per-
sonal speculation in violation of the
Lever law According to reports, Kie-
vel has similar amount of butter
in storage in Chicago.
1t is probable. the case will come
before the court Monday.
Estimating that a family Of five
uses two pounds of butter week,
the $4,000 pounds would supply A.
900 persons for one week, or $4,000
persons for one day.
DR.. B. F.. Simon; city health Off
Ger, investigated: this same store Of
butter last week and reported 10000
pounds present.
The Kiewel case is only one of nu-
merous instances in which evidence
has been supplied the district attor-
ney by the department of Justice.

VALUE OF ADS

There is money TO be saved in read

spend hundreds of dollars just to see
their names and merchandise mention

make a closer study of the advertise

or it may be in better quality for
the same price. am firmly convinced
that the woman who studies the daily
ads carefully is a more thrifty buyer
than one who does not.
Beginning tomorrow we are put

standard goods and only the woman
who reads our ads will benefit, because
there will be no mention made of the

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Troubles Women Have
BYL. MAC LEAN, MD.

Probably no man in America was ever
better qualified to successfully treat the
diseases peculiar to women than DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. 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 those feminine dis
orders from which so many women suffer-
He combined these roots and herbs into q
temperance medicine that he called Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for that is
precisely what it was. This medicine is
sold in both liquid and tablet form by drug
gists everywhere. Favorite Prescription
is distinct remedy for women and acts
directly upon the organs that characterize
the sex. 1t is not necessary to take long
course of treatment with this standard
medicine. A weakly, sickly, backachy.
headachy, nervous, respondent woman,
with regular or irregular pains-with femi-
nine disorders that come in youth or
middle AGES pretty sure to find in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription the exact
remedy that her condition calls for, and
to find it after very few doses are taken.
Why women should allow themselves to
stay sick when very little money spent
for this remedy will probably make them
7ell, is something no one can explain.
All women who suffer from feminine dis
orders are invited to write the Faculty of
the Invalids' Hotel Buffalo, N. L. for free
confidential consultation and advice, no
charge being made for this high profession
al service. This will enable every woman
. benefit by tie advice of the distinguish
cd corps of physicians which DR.. Pierce
has gathered about him in his celebrated
Buffalo institution.
When constipation is present with

Pellets should be taken along with Favorite
