1T do not think I could have
brought up my family and kept well
if it were not for DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Whenever I
began to get rundown or nervous,
I would take couple of bottles and
was then all right. I found it
especially beneficial as it would keep
me so well and feeling so good I
never had any trouble. I also took
it after the birth of my children,
to strengthen me. F'avorite Pre-
scription' is the very best medicine a
woman can take during motherhood
and as a tonic and builder at all
times. Mrs. Jennie Kull, IA E.

First to See Value
of Big Advertising

Robert Bonner, for whom Bonner
Springs, Kan, is named, New York
publisher, was the first to use full
page advertising; and the first Jour
nallst to pay large sums for feature
articles.
When Edward Everett was raising
funds to purchase Mount Vernon Bon
ner gave him $4,000 for 81 articles
known as the Mount Vernon papers,
and like sum to the fund He also
startled the literary world by buying
eight pages Of advertising In the New
York Herald. When the press room
of the New York Ledger was de
stroyed by fire he inserted in the daily
papers of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston the following advertisement:
UNLESS we are burned out more than
once a week the New York Ledger Will
be ready on the news stands of the
United States, the Sandwich Islands
and New Jersey"
His recreation was driving eXpen'
slve trotters, owning the best In the

A Vermcnter who had provided his

comforts of home was sitting on his
front porch reading the morning pa
per one day when an oil stove out In
the kitchen blew up and there were
shrleks Of "Flrel Firel" from the
rear of the house so loud and 50
piercing that they were heard at the
engine house, which was not far
away, and the FIRE department quick
ly responded.
Alex had hardly got his feet down
from the piazza railing, where they
had been resting while he read, when
the fire chief dashed up to the porch.
saying excltedly:
where's the fire. Alexf How did
II start?"
Whereupon Alex, who had just got
his long legs uncoIled, settled calmly
into his chair again, picked up his
paper and replied, as he resumed
reading:
you'll have to ask Mrs. Dunnetl I;
this is her fire."

 Arthur Jeffers, divisional chief of the Red Cross at San Francisco to
 w. c. Erwin, chairman of the Sew ard district, asking that funds be forwarded immediately and plac- ing Stewards prospective quota at $500. Another telegram just re- .ceived is as follows:
