The Many Mysteries
Of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and q 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 Che other you get q flower Of
rnre beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get. opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and
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, N. Y,
long since found out what IL naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned il oil
through treating thousands of cases. The
result Of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pieree,s sFavorite 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 life. DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of
lady's clipper root, black cohosh root, uni
corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape root. Women who take this. stand
ard remedy know that IN DIR. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription they are getting q
safe woman'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 alcoholfand no mar
eotic. DIR. Pierce knew. when he first
made this standard medicine, that whisky

From Christian Science Monitor

From Christian Science Monitor,
Alexander, as nearly everybody
hrs ome time or other heard,
solved the difficulty or untying :
the Gordian knot, which nobody
had ever been able to do, by cut
ting IT.. Something of the same
sort may have been done by those
large business C that are
announcing a reduction In the
price" Of what they have to sell
without making any corresponding
reduction In the wages of those
who make 1t. The argument that
the price of commodities cannot
come down until the cost of labor
down, and that the cost OF
labor cannot come down until the
price of commodities comes down, .
presents a problem quite as per-
picking as the traditional knotted
cord at Gordium. But III a large
enough number OF businesses re-
duce prices without lowering wage
scales, and find they can do
II without sacrificing reasonable
profit, the purchasing power OF n
dollar will pleasantly Increase.
With more purchasing power to
the dollar the whole question OF
the relation of wages to the sup
port Of the wage Garner and his
family would become easier OF

 which was proposed at Japan'& in- stance, was to avert collision of in tcrest in China of the high contract ing parties and to cement the bond of permanent amity and cordialitv between them. At that time there were evident indications of the growth or antl-Japancse sentiments perVaG- ing China, while on the Pacific many problems threatening the interests of Japan and the Japanese were brewing in Hawaii and the Philippines The situation and gloomy outlook gave rise to wild rumOr5 calculated to pc detrimental to the interests of and friendly relations between the two countries.
 TThe imperial government thereon proposed to America to enter upon negotiations for the conclusion of an agreement, which resulted in the coming into existence of the Take hira-ROOt agreement, with a view to sweeping away all such injurious sen satlonal rumors.

Mrs. Thomas w. Palmer of Monte vallo has just returned from New Hork where she went to say goodbye to her son, Major Thomas w. Palmer, Jr.' who, after serving for the whole time of the war, has sailed for Chile, where he goes as attorney for one Of the great companies which are developing that country.
 The United Daughters of the con federacy are much interested in the news that the General Gorgas chapter of Montevallo has suggested Mrs. Pal mer for the next president of the Ala bama division. United Daughters of the Confederacy.
 friend of Mrs. Palmer says:
 The smaller chapters of the state are feeling that they should be reeog- nized as having presidential timber, the larger cities having now had the honor for three consecutive terms ot two years each.
 Mrs. Palmer represents in her per son the best traditions and ideals or two wars, her father having been a brave and true Confederate soldier anu her son having won the rank of ma1oc in the war just closed. Her frlenus are hoping to elect her without opposi- tion. If ever any candidate for office was deserving of success by common and gracious consent, this one falls In that category"

of the Confederacy. as Mrs. Crenshaw is one of the states most popular mem bers:
 The Sophie Bibb chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, at it's regular monthly meeting Wednesday afternoon unanimously endorsed Mrs J. H. Crenshaw. it's former president for the office of president of Alabama division, the election to be held dur ing the state convention in Gadsden, May 6 to 9. This action was taken after Mrs. Crenshaw had been urged by Daughters throughout the state to allow her name to be presented for this high office as she had already been officially endorsed. The Sophie Bibb chapter, in seconding this en- dorsement, takes pride in the fact that this movement originated among tho Daughters of other chapters. Mrs. Crenshaw has long been recognized as woman of exceptional mental quali- fications and of a high order of execu- tive ability. She has held high office in various patriotic, charitable and club organizations, has served the Daughters of the Confederacy as state treasurer has established in this or ganization the Lizzie Crenshaw memo- rial in memory of a beloved daughter, and now serves as second vice presi- dent of the Alabama division.
