DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

You can take an onion seed and q pansl
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 the other you get 4 flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ca dangerous, habit-forming
drug, Oh you can plant a rhubarb seed ana
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.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DR. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what q
naturally best for Women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
Of cases. The result Of his studies was q
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription This medicine is made OF
vegetable growths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir-
regularties, pelvic infiammations, and for
the many disorders common to women in
all ages Of life DR.. Pierce's FavoritC
Prescription is made OF lady's slipper root
black Cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Pre-
scription they are getting o safe woman
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have thC
full confidence OF every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and n
narcotic. DIR. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiske,
and morphine are injurious, and so he haI
always kept them out Of his remedies

A FIVE-PART FoRLD FEATURE
with

triche, Johnny Hines and
John Bowers.
Here is an interesting, entertain
ing modern story about girl who
proved that her love was so big
that she could forgive the man she
loved for a great wrong he had
done Barbara Castleman and John
ny Hines are the stars of the pro-
duction. The story Of What Love
Forgives" was written by Gardner
Hunting, one of the most skilled
screen writer's, and the scenario
was prepared by George Dubois
Proctor, who has done the contin-
uity for some of the biggest screen
successes. Supporting the stars is a
notable cast. John Bowers appears
as her leading man. Muriel Os-
triche is seen in a strong and strik-
ing role, and a number of other film
favorites appear in parts that will
please the most blase, or in other
words, "hard-boiled' critics. This
production has been given an elab-
orate staging. Some of the scenes
were filmed in big New York
theater, which was especially rent
ed for the occasion. The filming
Of these scenes took over a week,
although it takes but a few moments
to flash them on the screen.
From every angle, What Love
Forgiyes," is big, vital, interesting
and entertaining. It is the sort of a
picture that pleases immensely and
it offers the best sort Of entertain
ment See What Love For

The drouth is wider spread than
1t has been heretofore. Not only the
so-cailed dry-farming counties, which
ranked as semi-arid in the past and
were used chiefly for grazing. but
the fertile valleys OF the south and
west have felt the heat. Even frri.
