CHARACTER TELLS
THE STORYl

People throughout this country ara
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the markes,
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierces vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they ara
Just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines arc the result of long research
by well-known physician, R Y. Pierce.
M. D., who compounded them from
health giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DR.. Pierce's
reputation as = leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is \ sufficient guaran-
tee for the purity of that splendid tonis
and blood purifier, the Golden Medical
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonic and system builder for women's
ailments, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

Pagodas are said to represent one
Of the Chinese efforts to keep in touch
with the unseen world of spirits,
which they regard as always surround
ing them. They are built as tokens
of friendliness to the spirits of the
earth and air, that these may have a
dwelling place when they come to
town, and perhaps be induced to scat
ter blessings and withhold their
curses and disasters.

ton suggested the building of a steam
war vessel. His plans were accepted
by the Washington authorities and in
June of 1914 the keel of the Demologos
was laid.
Designed for the purpose of wip-

accomplish that object, and her career
was brief and inglorious. After the
close of the war she was rechristened
the Robert Fulton, in honor of her in
