What IL the Cause Of
Backache?
BY DOCTOR

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. T.,
q high medical authority, says the
cause is very often n form Of catarrh
that settles In the delicate membranes
Of the feminine organs. When these
e are inflamed, the first syInp-
tom Is backache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, IN
healthy discharges. irregularity, pain
full periods, irritation, headache ind
q 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 a separate and
distinct medicine for women.
It is made Of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol Or opiate of any kind, for
DIR. Pierce uses nothing else in his pre-
scription. Faverite Prescription is a nat.
ural remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths of which it ID 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 ia to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor.
tie Prescription is intended TO do.

its directors probably would dip into the
surplus to make il up. Montana Power
for the first six months of the year
earned more than s2.19 a share on the

$40. against S5.S7 in 1918. Curtailed
production in the copper district, to
which Montana Power furnishes cleo
tricity, and drought in the State which
affected general business conditions are
ascribed as the causes for the decline in
earnings. 1t is the theory of officials OF
the corporation In New York that these
conditions have improved and that the
earning statement for the last half OF
the year should compare favorably with
that OF last year. Marketwise the stock

dreds of holders are becoming literally
worn out with them. A month ago they
slumped violently when the brother
hood demands were made. Then they
sagged with the general market. A few
days ago they perked up a little on the
announcement OF a firm stand ny the
President and an offer of cents more

offer, spread broadcast in the morning
papers, brought another disagreeable
day for the rail stocks and throughout
the general group declines of to 21a

Adams Express.

It has been rumored about the Street
that the Adams Express plans liquida-
ton steps similar to those taken by the
United States Express Incident to It's re-
turn to its owners by the Government at
the end of the year. At the company's
Office such a step was denied officially,
but II was said that It was probable that
the Adams would never operate again
an eNprNs business. but be continued as
a holding company. 1t Is considered
highly probable that the Government 8
express business will be continued, prob
ably on a modified scale. and that the
Adams will be one of the large stock
holders In this reorganized property. At
any rate the Adams liquidation would
be considerably more involved and COM
plicated than that OF the United States
Express. For one reason II has an
Issue of bonds maturing In 1S4S, For
another II has working agreements with
several railroads in force. The COM
pany's semi-annual financial statement
Is expected to be made during the latter
part of this week, While the Adams and
other companies are working under
guaranteed compensation agreements
similar TO those OF the railroads, II Ia
reported THAT the Governments express
business is being operated at loss of
between s25,000,000 and $30,o00000 q

reason for Offering scrip or cash is be-
cause of the fact that many stockholders
