What Il the Cause of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most COM
mon ailment from which women SUI
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from 1t. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
scure, but DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
a high medical authority, says the
cause Is very often a form Of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp.
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations. weakness. un'
healthy discharges, irregularity, pain.
full periods, Irritation. headache and
a general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
IT. is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol or opiate of any kind, for
DR.. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
prowths 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 Prescription, it is reassuring 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 Favor.
ite Prescription is intended to do.

Columbia, Jan. 21.--It appeared

Assembly will adjourn tomorrow
until tho first Tuesday in May be-
cause Of the rapid spread Of influenza
in South Carolina. A resolution pro-
viding for adjournment was intro
duced by Senator Buck, Of Horny,
and, although immediate considera~
tion was objected to, it appeared on
tho surface that the majority Of the
Senate was in favor Of 1t. Senator'S
Buck and Allan Johnston spoke very
strongly in favor Of the resolution
Senator Rogers, OF Spartanburg, who
objected to immediate consideration,
did not indicate that he would op-
pose the resolution, but said the
county delegations ought to be given
a chance to get together and make
some provision for the expenses Of
their county governments.

Paris. Jan. 1s.-Tho peace confer
ence, destined to be historic, and on
which the eyes Of the world are now
centered, was opened this afternoon
III the great Sale De La Park. Pre-
mler Clemenceau announced that the
league Of nations would be the first
subject taken up at the next full
meeting OF the conference.
To-day's proceedings, which we're
confined to tho election Of Georges
Clemenceau, tho French premier, as
permanent chairman Of tho confer
ence, an address Of welcome by the
president Of the French republic.
Raymond Poincare. and speeches by
president Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George and Baron Sonnino, were
characterized by expressions of last
ing friendship and the apparent de-.
termination Of the representatives
or the various nations to como to an
amicable understanding with respect
to the problems to be decided by the
conference
When President Poincare spoke,
the entire assembly stood, and the
fact that, according to custom, no
applause greeted his utterances gave
greater solemnity to the scene.
NJ. Clemenceau' acceptance Of the
presidency Of the congress was both
Il feeling expression Of personal graft

be crowned by the achievements Of
this conference, because there Is a

conference Of the history Of mankind.

the person Of so distinguished q SER

patton In the struggles Of this war
the fine steadfastness which charac-

have learned to admire him, and
those Of us who have been associated
with him acquired genuine affec-

Bills for $34,795.51 were approved at
the Thursday morning meeting of the

city light plant, and about $3,252.51 for
city bills for the last two weeks.
The South Ninth street improvement
to be made by the city In conjunction
with the county was approved.
Several persons interested in the
new street attended the meeting, but
virtually all were in favor of the
street. Information was asked of the
board as to the putting in of gas and
water taps, and the property owners
said they favored brick street. There
was no opposition to the alley I'm
provement between Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets from South A
street.
The South Ninth street resolution
provides for the city paving the part
of the roadway not provided for by
the three-mile road law, as well as 100
per cent of the curb and gutter. The
city usually paves the intersections.
New roof and new ceiling were
ordered for the city Jail at cost OF

by City Engineer Davis, who said that
Beallview was distinct from Richmond
especially from the sewer standpoint,
and sewer installed there would be
practically separate system.
