What IL the Cause OF
Backache?
By DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most COM
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from 1t. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
'scure, but DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
high medical authority, says the
cause Is very often form of catarrh
that settles in the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are infamed, the first symp-
tom is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, I'M
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 DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine for women.
1t is made of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol OF opiate of any kind, for
DR.. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is a 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
tie Prescription is intended to do

Constipated women, as well as men, are
advised by DR.. Pierce to take his Pleasant
Pellets. They are just splendid for cos
tiveness.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

The house of representative on
February 90 gave it's Endorsement to
the good roads mill levy bill, which
will raise $2,S00OO0 state funds to be
spent on highways.
A measure favorably considered on
February 26 requires all public utilities
in the state to file an inventory show
ing the physical valuation of their
property with the public utilities com
mission. Similar action was taken
with reference to the McDonald-John-
son bill, authorizing the appropriation
of water from this state to be used in
another state, the measure seeking to
meet the conditions at Newport, on the
Idaho-Washington boundary line.
The house on February 26 recon-
mended for passage number of inn
portant bills out of committee of the
whole after amending them. Among
these measures are included the capitol
bill, authorizing the sale of 100000 in
bonds and small tax levy to pay the
interest, so that the necessary funds
may be raised for the completion of
the state capitol wings. One Of the
amendments provides that before the
department of public works shall pro-
coed with the erection of the wings
the city of Boise must acquire the APP
proach property to the main building,
thereby giving to it an appropriate
park site.

disposing of measures carrying almost
$2,000,000 and sending them to the sem
ate. There was also introduced in the
lower assembly the general deficiency
bill, carrying probably the largest
total of any similar measure before an
Idaho legislature, or $154, S49.S3.
The senate finance committee early
in the session adopted a policy of
holding all financial or appropriation
measures, ard has accumulated large
number of them An effort was made

move these measures from that COM
mittee and place them with the sitting
committee, so that they could be adj
yanced on the calendar, but it failed.

lions of the special investigating COM
mittee that inspected the state SAM

fort was made to delay its progress

whole, but it was blocked.
The special committee recommended
that no appropriation be allowed the
state sanitarium at Nampa, and that
instead $4,000 be allowed the Black.
foot asylum to care for the feeble
minded at the sanitarium. The appro-
priatfons committee reversed the

| the asylum and permit the removal OF
the feeble-minded therein to the san
