bubbles rising to the surface of a

CHARACTER TELLS
THE STORYi.

People throughout this country are
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the market,
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been SO favorshly known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they are
Just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are the result of long research
by well. known physician, r. V. Pierce,
M. D., who compounded them from
health giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DIR. Pierce's
reputation as leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is sufficient guaran-

President Harding was actuated
by two motives in ordering the Fed.

First, Mr.. Harding wants to stop

is possible; and, second, he is deter.

present prices on the new Repub-

The President, It was said today,
does not believe the tariff rates on
sugar are in any, way responsible
for present prices. Opponents of
the Cunher bill, how
ever, within his own party. as well
as the Democrats, have rushed into
