INTERESTING LECTURE
MISS ROWENA SHANER

There are many excellent organi-
cations in our country to-day which
We, in our pursuit of other things.
are prone to forget. One of these or
CARNATIONS Is the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. This was very
forcibly brought to the attention of
the students of the Junior and Senior
High School in the form of lecture
Tuesday Afternoon delivered by Miss
Rowena e. Shaner, national lecturer
and organizer of this large organiza-
ton. Miss Shaner, knowing that she
would be in our city only few
hours, agreed that she would deliver
her lecture to the students there.
She is charming speaker, an orator
in the true sense and a rapid fire
speaker. She delivered before the
students plain message devoted to
the fair thinking of all present. The
facts in reference to booze and cigar
cites were made so plain that even
the careless could not fail to under
stand. Her address was humorous
and pathetic and she held the atten-
ton of the entire body to the last. |
We wish every person in our city
could have heard the stirring address.

A Successful Man

Among the notable professional men
of this country who achieved great
success along strictly legitimate lines
was DR.. r. V. Pierce. Devoting his
attention to the specially of women's
diseases, he became recognized
authority in that line.
Over fifty years ago this noted
physician gave to the world a Pre-
scription which has never been
equaled for the weaknesses of
women. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
long since found out what is natu-
rally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all thru treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his
studies was medicine called Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths
that nature surely intended for back
ache, headache, weakening pains, and
for the many disorders common to
women in all ages of life. Women who
take this standard remedy know that
in DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
they are getting a safe woman's tonic
so good that druggists everywhere sell
1t in both tablet and fluid form.

lightful comedy sequences scattered
throughout the picture In a little

to become involved in innumerable
complications all provocative of
mirth, yet touched with that pathos
which stamps this greatest of all in
genues as mistress of her art.
In addition to the clean, whole

abounds, there is found running
