No long-winded editorials are nee
essary to convince the people OF
Heppner that ii is the proper and
necessary thing for them to take over
the city water works. Mr.. Gates has
made fair proposition and one that
was worthy of the attention given il
by the council, but there is just one
thing to do, and only one, and that is
to own the plant outright. We shall
have to spend a lot of good money to
get water from the mountains and il
is not too soon to get down to brass
tacks and tackle the job. Heppner
will have to wake up, and that right
quick, if she regains a lot of her lost
prestige. In this matter of getting
an adequate water supply there is nc
room left for extensive arguments
The time has come to act.

headache, backache and worry, turn to
the right prescription, one gotten up by
DR.. Pierce fifty years ago.
Everything growing out of tho ground
seems intended for some use in establish
ing natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou-
sands of cases. The result of his studies
was medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription. This medicine is made
OF vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, Irregularities,
pelvic inf1ammations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages 4
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescriptio, J
made of lady's slipper root, black coho. i
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and
Oregon grape root. DR.. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard mcdi-
cine, that whiskey and morphine are in
furious, and so he has always kept them
out of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are
getting safe woman's tonic so good that
druggists every where sell it, in liquid Or
