A MAN WHO BECAME

Doctor r. v. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only a sue
cessful physician but also a pro-
found student Of the medicinal quail
ties Of Natures remedies. roots and
herbs, and by close observation of
the methods used by the Indians, he
discovered their great remedial quail
tiles, especially for weaknesses Of
women, and after careful preparation
succeeded in giving to the world a
remedy which has been used by wo-
men with the best results for half a
century. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
.scription is still in great demand.
while many other so called "cure-
alls" have come and gone. The rea-
son for its phenomenal success is be-
cause OF its absolute purity, and DR..

What a Newspaper
 Means to a Town

Recently Dean N bgle Spencer If Che Szhool of Journalism of the Uni versity of Washington, was visitor at Skagway, and while there, at the re quest of the editor of the Skagway Alaskan, wrote an editorial for the paper He chose as his subject the Sitle "The Value of Newspaper to a Town" and this is what he wrote:
 5'Few people in the average city ap- breciate the value of d newspaper 10 town. Like flowers. they are appreci- ated most by those who dc not have them. Like mothers, they are wanted most when they are gone.
 "Most people look on a newspaper as the business of a single individual. IT it thrives, that is the owners business. If It fails, that also is the owners busi ness. As a matter of fact, the success or failure of paper Is matter of grave concern to an entire town.
 elf it were not for our newspapers rumor and gossip would run riot over the world. Everyone knows how a simple question asked by someone often is made g statement by another, how that statement is distorted bv12 -ececd or enlarged by third, and how il sometimes goes on and on until the people do not know what to believe. Sometimes such 8 story gets so big that bo IF na ct l., hty someone coming out in the newspaper and stating the truth. Such conditions we should have constantly If it were not for our newspapers.
 "Newspapers,.too, are the best ad- verttsement a city has in the outside world. Other cities judge town by the kind of newspaper it Ras. If it is supported well, given the news and ad vertising patronage it ought to have. it 5hrives and is able to present an ap pesrance of prosperity for the town to the outside worl1. If it does not thrive. outsiders are inclined to look on the town as undesirable to live in, and so move on to other cities.
 Newspapers are also our chief sources of information. Most of our reading matter after we leave school comes from the papers. What we know about Presidenl Hardlng's tour. about the struggle between France an Il Ger mony in the Ruhr, about Henry Ford as candidate for president, and about other national and world problems, comes from the papers. Thomas lief. ferson once said that if he had to have government without newspapers or newspapers without government, he would take the newspapers, because Ghrough them he felt the state could be run with, at least fair success.
