It Is an old hiaxlm that "a lie will travel seven loaguos while truth Is getting Its boots on," and no doubt hundreds of thousands bf good people read the unwarranted and malicious attack upon Dr. 11.

Pierce nnd his"Favorlto Prescription "published in tho May (1001) number of tho Ladles' Homo Journal, with Its great black dis play headings, who never saw the hum ble, groveling retraction, with its Incon nplcuous heading, published two months later. It was boldly charged In the sland erous and Hbolous article that Dr. Plorco'a Favorlto Prescription, for tho euro of Roman's weaknesses and ailments, con tained alcohol and other harmful Ingrcdl onts. Dr. Plerco promptly brought suit against tho publishers of tho Ladles' Homo Journal, for $200,000,00 damages. I Dr. Pierce alleged that Mr. Bok, tho editor, maliciously published tho articlo containing such falso and defamatory matter wit tho Intent of injuring his l)uslne&ifurthermori, that no alcohol, or other rujurlous. or habit-forming, drugs Urc, ors'cr ivore, contained In his "Fa vorite wesofiptlon"; that said medlcino Is mauy fcOtn native medicinal roots and contaUisno harmful Ingredients what evcryW that Mr. llok's malicious state met were wholly and absolutely false. rythorctrnctlon printed hvynld Journal nhtafimif 'afiaTyyf of "Eavnrlto Pri M-rfbtlon,.'; fmir i etnliient chcmlts7fiira fcWtTonfmin i etnfnent , chcmllKint Hvhotn ofrtnlcd TTi at it (Tjirpnt, emit in a - liiumUiUIniKil noLox.anYoLtltc Alleged 1 Tueso fucts'wero also Dioren In the trial of tho, action In tho Supreme Court.

HOW MANY OF US? If II to Select Food .Nature Douinndl to Wurd Oil Allmriiti, A Kentucky lady, speaking about I food, says: "I was accustomed to eat ing all kinds of ordinary food until, for 'ome reasou Indigestion and nervous prostration set I i. "After I hail run down seriously my , attention was called to the necessity of jsoine change In my diet, and I discon tinued my ordinary breakfast nnd be ,C"n uslngGrnpe-.Nuts with a good quan tity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition changed (In u remarkable way, and I began to ,bave a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed inc. lit waa entirely new In my experience. ".My former attacks of Indigestion bad been accompanied by beat flushes, nd many times my condition was dis tressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the bend and neural gic pains In the chest. '.Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged In rich, greasy foods In quan tity, then I would he warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and un less I heeded the warning the old trou 'bio would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles orig inated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and crenm and the palu and disturbance left very quickly.

Spain does not fuel II la to the progress of tho traveler, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The tourist to that country must be rich In one thing which the av erage American signally lacks namely, plenty of time. In Spain there Is no "staying over a train" to visit a cathe dral or a gallery. The points of Inter est are widely scattered and a day's Journey must not be considered as any hindrance to an inspection, however cursory, of even one cathedral. This dllllculty in getting about is due largely to an execrable train service. Pile cars In the south of Spain are old fashioned ; the roadbeds are so badly tuatlo that the trains rock like a ship In i heavy sea. The engineers either can not or will not drive the engines at any rate which an American would recog nize ns speed. Klghteen miles an hour Is the Spanish idea of a lightning ex press; llfteen Is regarded as a working estimate that Is good enough for ordi nary purposes. The Spanish have "alt the time there Is," and see no reason why they should Imperil their lives and wreck their nerves by hurrying anywhere. It may bo noted, however, that If the trains are slow they are sure, and for a train to be behind time practically Is un known. Women traveling alone, for In stance, need not hesitate to take a train teaching a given point by 10 at night through fear that It will not arrive un til 11 or afterward. If the time tablo announces Its arrival for 10, that train will enter the station on the minute. In this connection may be told tho jtory of an American who asked his pulde the distance between Madrid and Ban Sebastian, the chief watering place of Spain. It was the intention of thu American to run up there for a few hours; tho distance did not look great when studied on the map. "San Sebastian. senorV It Is about ninety miles away," said the guide. "Ah, a two hours' Journey," said he American, having In mind the express trains between the New York and Phil adelphia, a similar distance. The guide opened bis eyes in sur prise at such a mad idea. "No, senor. If you leave Madrid at f) o'clock In the morning you will reach San Sebastian about 10 o'clock In the evening. It's a day's Journey." 3x$x$3J3&S$3x$ 5$gxj35jHSj3jxS MOHAMMEDAN OF LETTERS. In self-goernlng Mohammedan coun tries, where the administration Is al ways bad, education of the masses Is generally suppressed, or at least neg lected. The native who would write u letter or have one read must visit a little booth, about the size of a dry goods box, Under a house round tho corner. A questionable character of doubtful race sits Turkish fashion In this box, peering out of the opening, on a level with the roadway. Ilefore hitn are a pot of thick writing fluid, sev eral stubby wooden pens, Home slips of coarse paper aud a pepper-box of sand, with which the ink Is sprinkled and dried. A veiled lady, carefully covering her face, conies up to the booth, stoops and presents-a letter. "From whom?" asks the sage of ci pher. "Our husband," the veiled lady re plies. (She Is one of several wives.) " 'Most beloved of my wives,' the flat tering man of letters begins to read, 'I am -well. I wish you arts well. The weather is well. The camels are well.' " Here the wise man studies the docu ment closely and asks, "What Is your husband's name?" "Almoon, offend!," the lady replies. Ah, yes. Almoon," says the sage. The woman pays a small coin. A few weeks later the same woman appears with another letter. "From whom is it?" again the ques tion "Our husband," again the reply. " 'Most beloved wife,' "by way of variation "'I um well. 1 wish you well. The camels are well.' "What did you say your husband's name Is?" "Almoon." "Ah, yes. Almoon. Your husband's writer does not form his letters well." The woman pays another small coin. Some time later she returns ugaln. The intelligent mun of letters recog nizes her this time, and employs his trained memory. " 'Most beloved of my wives,' " ho begins, '"I hope you are well. I am it "Effendl," Interrupts the lady, "I think this letter Is from my sister." "Ah, you should have told me!" More Dfiiilly than Itomlm. "Whlskervitch is going to destroy tho coyal city at one fell swoop." "How will he do It?" "llusb-h!

"I feel It my duty to parents of oth er poor suffering babies to tell you what Cutlcura baa done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her ib;dy with a humor, and wo used ev erything recommended, but without re sults. 1 called In three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked 'an If they would drop off. Neighbors advised mo to get Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Oint ment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were as clear ns a new-born babe's.

Aa tho ico melts wo are confronted with that other vital question: "Have you bought your winter coal y2t?" No Not yet? Married men are thu better soldiers; thoy know more about lighting. A wife's biscuits usually have more Voight with a husband than her words. A man never knows what it menus to have a good virtuous wife until lie has had the other kind. A man may put all his property in his wife's name, but he must take care of his reputation himself. 8ICK FOR TEN YEARS. nnd Colin (11 lit llitt'kitulir, Drop.iy Severe Illuililvr Trouble. Fred W.

Ky TheWinning Stroke If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a rea sonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the over pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without griping, irritating or debilitating tho internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.
