American Prisoner Is Disfigured

London.-Many have been the tales,
exaggerated or without foundation,
which have passed from mouth to
mouth, and even found their way into
print, of prisoners of war who have
been sent home with faces disfigured
by brands of the German eagle, snakes
and other horrible objects. Many of
these stories could not be traced by
the authorities and were attributed to
heated imaglnations. A correspondent
Of Lloyd's Weekly, however, has dis
covered very bad case of Hun saw
agery, which sufficiently testifies to
this method of mutilation by branding
or tattooing, being no exaggeration.
"The mans name is Roughton and
he lives in miserable slum near Wa
terloo, hating to go out in daylight.

says the writer, that seems almost
unbelievable in these days of so-call-

What ID the Cause of

Backache?
BY DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache Is perhaps the most COM

scure, but DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo, N. T.,
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 ana
a general rundown condition. Any
woman In this condition is to be pit
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DR.. 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, tor
Dr. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
,cription. Favorite Prescription is nat
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths 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.

Former Emperor 100000
Marks TO Pay Debts.

wElMAR, Feb. o7.-The former Ger
man Emperor, it is learned from COM
petcnt sources, recently appealed TO
the German revolutionary government
for money. II was said in his behalf
il was impossible for him to continue
living upon the bounty and good will
of the Dutch nobleman in whose castle
he now resides.
Herr Hohenzollern. 1t is said, de-
clared he already had been forced to
borrow 40,000\ guilders from his host
and could not continue as a debtor.
He asked he be allowed at least por-
tion of his private fortune.
The government. after considering
the matter, agreed to his request and
instituted a detailed investigation to
determine what portion of the former
Emperor's supposed fortune really was
his and what portion belonged to the
government. Investigation showed the
former ruler might legally claim 75.-
00O.OOo marks as his own. but the gov
ernment decided to allow him tenn
porarily only 100000 marks to meet
present Indebtedness and future ex-
penseSe. .t
The correspondents informant, in
calling attentino to this development,
declared 1t put an end to rumors that
the former Emperor had been able to
take large sums OF money with him
when he fled into Holland.
