Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely IN
Pennsylvania and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
r. Y. Pierce who afterwards
established himself in Buffalo, N.
Y, and placed one Of his prescrip-
tons, which he called his Golden
Medical Discovery" in the drug
stores of the United States so that
the public could easily obtain this
very remarkable tonic, corrective,
and blood-maker. DIR. Pierce
manufactured this Discovery"
from roots and barks without
alcohol corrective remedy, the
ingredients of which nature had
put in the fields and forests, for
keeping us healthy. Introduce
pure red blood into the system,
and health is assured. When you
feel rundown, out OF sorts, blue
and respondent try the energiz-
ing influence of this reliable tonic.
You can obtain Golden Medical
Discovery in tablet or liquid form
at all drug stores, or send 10c for
a trial package to DR.. Pierce's
Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y.

COAL TRUCK WAS NEAR
TAKING 70 FOOT PLUNGE

A small iron fence saved the auto
mobile, truck of the Shetucket Coal
Company from practically certain de-
struction on Wednesday morning when
it held the truck from crashing over
the embankment at the rear of the
Broadway school and plunging down
the steep embankment into Chestnut
street, drop Of 70 to 100 feet.
Michael Falcone, the driver, and his
two helpers had gone to the school
with load of coal and were unloading
it in, the school cellar when the ma
chine started to roll gently toward the
embankment. The two helpers were in
the machine at the time and jumped
to the ground just before the machine
hit the fence. When the truck struck
the fence it broke through it but the
fence checked the machine so that it
came to rest with two wheels over the
embankment and the remainder on the
firm ground. What started the ma
chine is not known as the driver stat
ed he had all his brakes set up and
the motor still and the wheels block

French Admire Americans.

Nothing in France is more remark
able than the great wave of Anglo
SaXonism that is sweeping the coun-
try. English words are being daily
admittei into the colloquial language,
and even by the academy into the
literary language. Signboards abound
with English, and it is more than ever
spoken in all the firstclass shops and
hotels. Sports, until recently foreign
to the French nature, have taken
great hold on Young France" and
fox trotting has replaced the jerky
French waltz. Frenchmen, heretofore
badly, even ludicrously, dressed in
pompous frock coats, readynade ties
and hats too small, are going in for
twecds and shaving their boards. The
French are quite conscious of this
wave, and defend it on the ground that.
while it perhaps entails a sacrifice of
national character, it is bringing new
blood and new ideas to a race that
was jaded and needed them.
But it is America and not England
shat is entitled to feel fla tered by this
imitation. In spite of all reports TO
the contrary, the French have for us,
as they decidedly have not for the
English. a marked admiration and a
considerable affection. l had heard a
great deal of talk about our unpopu
larlty IN france from returned SOL
diers (most Of whom were fighting
and living among Belgians, Flemings
Picards, Walloons and other northern
peoples, which are not French. and
where in some parts French Is not
even spoken, and from the type OF
American traveller who counts a
Frenchman's love of his own country
as hatred of all others.
l therefore went to some pains to
find out what I could about the French
opinion of us, and am convinced that
we not only stand high in their esteem
but are even much overrated. The
worst reproach heard came from a
girl who hated the Americans "be-
cause they are all thieves" A soldier
