q young man who practiced medicine
in rural district became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because OF his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DIR. Pierce who afterward moved
to Buffalo, N. Y. He made up his
mind to place some of his medicines
before the public, and he put up
what he called his uFavorite Pre-
scription,D and placed it with the
druggists in every state in the Union.
For fifty gears DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription has sold more largely
throughout the United States than
any other medicine of like character:
It's the testimony of thousands OF
women that it has benefited or en-
tirely eradicated such distressing all
ments as women are prone to. 1t is
now sold by druggists in tablet form
as well as liquid.

Washington, April 2.-Soldier relief leg islation, with probable provision for a cash bonus. funds for which would be raised by a sale of luxury taxes, was ap- proved today by the house ways and means committee by vote of 15 to 6. will be worked out by subcommittee to be appointed Monday.
 Members of the committee hope to ob- tain final action by the house before the contemplated recess for the national po- litical conventions, but they express doubt when action by the Senate could be had at this session.
 Senator Lodge of Massa chusetts, the re- publican leader, after conference today with other Senate republicans as to fu- ture legislation in the Senate, said he thought this would include bill to give a money bonus to former service men. with provisions for special tax to raise the necessary funds.
 While the exact form of the legislation was not decided upon, committee dls- eussion was said to have indicted appro- val of a plan of extending vocational education as an alternative to the cash bonus. These two plans are part of the American Legion's programmes Its other selected plan of government and to sol diers and sailors for building homes and of obtaining ownerships of farms were said by some members of the committee to involve too many difficulties to be worked out by legislation before the re- cess.

 Future monthly reductions will hinge largely on new appropriations and tax legislation, officials said. They expected. however that operation of the sinking fund would reflect more and more on the gross national debt each month here after. None would venture prediction as to the net reduction for the calendar year.
 As the public debt now stands. it IS made up of $15,616S 800, 600. comprising the four issues of liberty bonds; S4.422, ,70o,OOo of victory short term notes; g, ,66l, ,22O.0o0 in treasury certificates; $S1oOoo,o00 in war saving certificates and approximately $i GOO, ,O00,00o in bonds issued prior to tho world war.

OPERATORS RESENT GOUGING CHARGES Charges of Mine Workers Sheer Nonsense, Declares
 Brewster
By Associated pr,..

New York. April . a-Responsible bitumi- nous coal operators will condemn any unwarrantable price and any proiiteerins policy" Thomas T. Brewster. chairman cf the scale committee of the bitumtncrs coal operators. declared in statement issued here tonight
 "Inslnuations that the coal operators are going to gouge the public because of the recen; q per cent advance in wages. as put out by the United Mine Workers spokesnen in the gllise of protest in ths public interest. are sheer nonsense.r said
 Mir Brewster.
 During the coal miners entirely un- warranted and unlawful cessation from
 work, all stocks of coal were repleted and a shortage exists throughout the country. The replenishing of stocks has been retarded by a serious coal shortage. consequently large consumers of soft coal are competing for the available supply. which has resulted in the offer of higher prices than the operators are willing to accept.
 "All responsible operators will condemn any unwarrantable price or any profiteer- ing policies.
 'aThe biturninous coal commission hay | ing awarded the miners a wage scale giving them very high earning power. tn r public now has the right to demand m2nI work, with advanced coal production
