The Crown of Woman
hood Is Motherhood.
f HE crown of womanhood is
motherhood. But uneasy
lies the head that wears
the crown, or anticipates
this ; coronation, when
there is a lack of womanly
strengtn to bear the bur
dens of maternal dignity and duty.
And how few women come to this critical
time with adequate strength. The rea
son why so many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because they axe
unprepared. Is : preparation then re
quired for motherhood ? asks the young
woman. And every experienced mother
answers "Yes." "I unhesitatingly ad
vise expectant mothers to use Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes
Mrs. Stephens. The reason for this
advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. . No matter how
healthy and strong a woman may be,
she cannot use Favorite Prescription"
as a preparative for maternity without
gain of health and comfort. But it is
the women who are not strong who best
appreciate the great benefits received
from the use of "Favorite Prescription."
For one thing its use makes the baby's
advent practically painless. It has in
many cases reduced days of suffering to
a few brief hours. It has changed the
period of anxiety and struggle into a
time of esse and comfort.
ALCOHOLIC TONICS.
' A great many women feeling the need
of a tonic take a cocktail, whisky, or
what is just ss bad, some widely adver
tised tonics or compounds which contain
a large percentage of alcohol. Doctor
Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to be
; nttrelyfj.ee from alcohol or narcotics
made of roots and herbs which cannot
harm the most delicate system but have
a wholesome, life-giving, tonic -effect
upon the system. Tonics made largely
or alcohol Interfere-with the digestion
of certain fowls, and as doses increase
the alcohol absorbed gets into the blood
and shrinks the red blood corpuscles.
As the blood feeds the nerves the nerves
get improper nourishment and the
mother becomes nervous. As the nerves
suffer so does the skin.
Better stick to a health-giving tonic
that has in the past third of a century
old mora widely than any other.
WHAT AGS DOES.
We are told that wine is better when
old; we know that most people have
more confidence in a physician of ma
ture age who has had large experience ;
.why not trust this "Favorite Prescrip
tion " of Dr. Pierce, that has proved its
worth by the continuous large sales in
every part of the conntry, assisted by
the constant praise given it by women
everywhere.
MOTHER OF THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother of the family oft
entimes carries the whole burden of re
sponsibility so far as the home medication
of common ailments of the girls or boys
is concerned. The cost of the doctor's
visits is very often much too great.
At such times the mother is invited to
write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y., for medical advice, which is given
free. Correspondence is held strictly
confidential.
Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a rec
ord such as no other remedy for the dis
eases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors and mak
ers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
now feel fully warranted in offering to
fay $$oo in legal money of the United
tates for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe
male Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All
the World's Dispensary Medical Asso
ciation, Proprietors, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
ask' is a fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.
" As your ' Favorite Prescription ' has
done so much for me, I am pleased to
tell you my experience," writes Mrs.
Belle Griffith, of Cherokee, Ky. I had
been troubled with indigestion, female
troubles and urinary trouble for three
years, also neuralgia and a dizzy head
ache ; after taking eight bottles of Dr.
Pierce's medicines I was greatly im
proved in health. Can sew on machine
now, something I bad not done in three
years, and can eat almost anything I
wish. Am pleased to recommend Dr.
Pierce's medicine to any of my friends. I
feel that you have a wonderful remedy."
" For fifteen years I sufferd each month
with severe pains, and this suffering
increased until my general health be
came so poor I could 'Hardly get around,"
writes Mrs. M. D. Jones, of Bunconi, .
Oregon. "My husband wished me to
write to Dr. Fierce, which I did, and he
advised his ' Favorite Prescription ' and
' Pleasant Pellets.' When I commenced
taking these medicines could hardly
stand on my feet, and to sit down was
even worse than standing. Before I had
taken one bottle of the 'Favorite Pre
scription ' I began to feel better, and since
taking ten bottles of ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' and three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pel
lets I feel stronger than I have for years.
I believe that all women suffering as I
did can be cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription." -

OUR LETTER BOX.
Wvoater at the Bridge.
SILVER CnKKK, Neb.; March 15, 1906.
ro the Editor of The Bee: I am not vain
tnough to suppose that anything I may
lay on the bridge question will have any
rffect on tha general . result at Lincoln.
Nevertheless I would, like, to say a few
words.'
With" all . the, .nojse and agitation one
might rotfson&bly suppose that the Interests
of the 'public lit this, matter were being
carefully looked after by at least a large
minority- of, the legislature, but such, evi
dently la not the case. It Is chiefly a ques
tion ns to' which ahull, be permitted to spoil
the taxpayer, ths bridge combine on the
one hand, which .wt have heard so much
about,- or the county commissioners and
supervisors, on tha other. Ths taxpayer
don't come in' at alt. All he Is for Is to be
Iklnned.
Since near tha beginning of this session
of the legislature wa have heard of repre
lentatlves of tha State Association of Com
missioners and Supervisors being In Lin
coln to , oppose the machinations of the
bridge contractors' combine. But what Is
tha secret of their opposition? Simply this
and nothing more, they,' tha .commission
ers and supervisors, have a Utla graft of
their own they want to work. They have
been working It very successfully hereto
fore, and If they can't, bave their thieving

operations facilitated, they at least don't
want them curtailed or cut out altogether
by the enactment of a law that would per
mit the bridge combine, rather than them
selves, to do the stealing. In proof of this
I call sttentlon to the fact that In Jan
uary I had a long talk with Messrs. Gal
lagher and Beach of the State Association
of Commissioners and Supervisors at the
Llndell hotel, who had Just come in to op
pose a bill then pending I forget Its num
ber and name nnd to advocate one of their
own. While the bill they opposed was
faulty, their own was a skilfully veiled at
tempt to place tha building of bridges, In
effect, wholly and absolutely and without
reference to cost, In their own. hands. In
this, that It provided thut In certain cases,
which really covered every supposable case.
a county board might reject any. and all
bids and do tha building themselves. That
Is the meat In thecocoanut for the com
missioners and supervisors. Therein they
can work their graft. In many counties
they have heretofore been doing 'It In vio
lation of law,. but It would be a little safer,
though not much, I think, If their stealing
would be done under protection of the law.
Today I do not know just where bridge
legislation Is at. I do not know what bills
I would favor or oppose. But I do know
that If a provision coum be embodied In
some bill now before the legislature that
might later become, a law, absolutely pro
hibiting commissioner and supervisors,
under very severe penalties from building
or repairing bridges under any circum
stances whatever. It would greatly simplify
the situation, practically destroy an enor
mous graft and annually save many thou
sand! pf dollars to the taxpayers.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OS MA
Question of Viaducts Again Agitating the
People of the City.
L STREET BRIDGE CLOSED FOR REPAIRS
Building of a ew One oa F Street
Badly Seeded and Probability
It Mast Be Hone Before
Losg.
The proposition of Councilman Klewltt
some time sro to take some action re
quiring the railroad companies to build
another viaduct at F street calls up the
question of how long the two old viaducts
will withstand the wear and tear of heavy
traffic with safety. Yesterday the It street
viaduct was closed to traffic and will be
closed for about four weeks. The stock
yards company is doing the work, with
the help, of course, of the railroad com
panies interested. A force of men com
menced the tearing up of the old floor,
which was much decayed, and the laying
of new planks. Aside from a new floor,
the structure-will also have to have new
piling In some places, and new sills la
many others. . The foreman in charge,
Mr. Hopkins, asserts that It will take a lot
of material, work and expense to put the
old bridge In good condition again.
Although not to such an extent, the Q
street viaduct is weak, st least according
to those who have examined it. Both of
these viaducts are now somewhat ancient,
considering the fact that they were never
first-class In the beginning. The traffic
slso Increases every year, and It is said
that the time Is not far distant when both
viaducts will have to be supplanted with
something better nnd more substantial.
As to the proposed F street viaduct, that
Is another matter. If the Union Pacific
railroad should commence the big improve
ments so much threatened for the last
several years in South Omaha, It is be
lieved that a viaduct at F street would
be one of them. Indeed, the Increasing
demand for a viaduct there has Impressed
itself upon the city officials ami the rail
road officials as well.
While on the viaduct question, It Is noted
with a great deal of pride by the west
sldcrs especially, that the Burlington via
duct on West L street Is ncarlng comple
tion. The iron work has been completed
and the new structure will be open to
public use In about three weeks.
Many Dad BollillnKS.
According to Information at the city
building Inspector's office there are a num
ber of old frame buildings in the city
which will either havo to be removed or
destroyed. Some of them are dangerous on
account of fire and others It is believed
breed disease and are unsightly, to say the
least. In this connection comes the com
plaint that a number of public halls In use
are by no means safe In the event of fire.
Some of them, or one or two at least, do
not even .have the equipments provided In
the common fire ordinances, and members
of the council have for some time talked
of taking measures to have this reform
brought about at an early date.
Speak for the Ticket.
Good words for the republican nominees
for the Board of Education are spoken on
every side by members of all political par
ties. The timber on either side Is of a
character that there does not seem any
prospects of a very bitter contest. The
general sentiment seems to be that the
school affairs under the Laverty-Morrlll
regime have fared so well that the district
could not do well without them, and for
this reason many democrats are openly In
favor of their return to the board for a
term of three years. Dr. W. U Curtis, the
other republican candidate. Is an old school
man, and has always taken an Interest
In educational affairs. The republican can
didates are making an active campaign,
and it Is the belief of those accustomed to
making political forecasts that all three
will be elected by large majorities.

order that the laymen of the church might
have an opportunity to listen to Mr. David

AT THE PLAY HOUSES.
"Red Feather" at the Boyd.
Grace Van Studdlford and company in "Rod
Feather," a romantic opera In two acts;
music by Reginald De Koven; book and
lyrics by Charles Klein and C harles Emer
son Cook; under direction of the litd
Feather company. The principals:
Countess Hilda von Drag "Red
Feather" Grace Van Studdlford
Mile. Flfine, a fashionable milliner
Lucy Munroe
Anita, a Spanish Girl Cora Tracy
Captain Trevors Harry Davles
H. R. H., Prince of Romancla. Harold Crane
Friends of Red Feather
Baron Bulverstrauss
William J. McCarthy
Colonel MacPatrlck Louis Csssavant
Bagstook Bowler Myron P. Davis
Colonel Furbls Ernest O. Wall
Lieutenant Dletrlck W. J. Powers
"Red Feather" slips tn to round out the
week of music at the Boyd comic opera,
grand opera and light opera. In the order
named, and with the distinction so plainly
drawn thst anyone may note the difference-.
It may be admitted at once, to avoid
argument, that Mr. De Koven has not yet
excelled his "Robin Hood" score, but he
has very nearly approached It, and In some
respects has equalled It. Some of the pas
sages In this his latest composition remind
one very much of that his first piece for the
stage. There's the lilt, the swing the rhythm
and the melody, and It's not the mere
tinkling, either, nor the Jingle, but good,
wholesome, full strokes with the bow and
deep blown blasts on wood and brass, with
the drums heard from at comforting Inter
vals, and all this with due regard for har
mony and the everlasting verities and a
proper consld ration for the nerves of tlie
listener. Mr. De Koven has done right well.
Messrs. Klein and Cook have provided book
and lyrics suitable to the score, and the
management, hiding behind the corporate
name of "Rea Feather Company," has care
fully selected people who can sing to ren
der the songs and choruses. Some little
comedy lurks here and there In the affair,
and is very capably set forth by those who
have It in charge.
Miss Van Studdlford Is the possessor of
a voice that might almost he termed ro
bust; It Is rich and round and full of tone,
and? glides very gracefully along the ambi
tious flight marked for it by the composer
a way that doesn't abound to anyalarm
Ing extent with the pitfalls so often pre
pared by the maestro for the unwary
singer. It comes clear and sweet on the
high notes, and full and rich on the low,
and is exhibited with skill In one or two
bravura passages, but the runs, the trills,
the little tricks of vocal exposition, are
lacking. To her voice Miss Van Studdlford
adds a notable presence, with sufficient
knowledge of the ways of the stage to make
her countess and bandit combined very
attractive.
Miss Cora Tracy's rich contralto, Mr.
Davles' fine tenor, Mr. Crane's excellent
baritone and Mr. Cassavant's powerful bass
have ample opportunity for delightful dis
play during the evening. Miss Munroe
sings a. couple of songs, leading a chorus,
but her voice is rather thin In quality.
Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Davis are very
amusing in their comedy characters and
Mr. Cassavant is almost so. The chorus
is a fine organisation, well balanced and
singing splendidly under tho competent di
rection of our old friend Studley. It seems
good to see him In the director's chair
again, although his presence calls up re
gretful memories of the dead and gone
"Boatonlans."
A fairly well filled house greeted the
opening performance of "Red Feather" nt
the Boyd last night, and so enthusiastic
was the welcome and w-graclous the re
sponse to the encores that the management
found It expedient to shorten the program
by the omission of a quartet that promised
much. A novelty In cnhhectlon with the
performance is that mVOtnaha name ap
pears In the cast. Otherwise "Red Feather"
may be added to the list of successes
locally. The piece will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night, and at a matinee on
Saturday.
"Kidnapped in lVew York" at the
Km?.
It is a case wherein the Irishman outwits
the Italian for the remainder of the week
at the Krug theater, and Barney Gilmore
from the first to the last act is the Celt
that wins. That audiences like Mr. Gil
more was shown by the size of the one that
welcomed him and that a person who knew
his business wrote the play was testified to
by the quantities of applause. This Is It:
Summer home of the Clarks on the Hud-son;-the
Black Hand at work; Central
park; kidnapping .Baby Clark; kidnappers'
den, otherwise rendezvous of the dreadful
Black Hand; "at the mercy of the gang";
rescuo of Baby Clark; the reception room
of the Manhattan Boat club; "Justice
triumphant." Mr. Gilmore is nice and
pleasant and skilled with blarney, but
should not try to sing. Edwin Gllllnple as
Signer Mazziotta, chief of the Black Hand,
looks good, but expresses his Italian devll
Ishness with a cross between an Irish
brogue and racetrack lingo. Most of the
other actors apparently can't help being
Irish, too. Dora Booth, In the heroine's
part, is a beautiful girl and does some act
ing. Musical specialties, help to lengthen
the show.

Connecticut Man Nearly Choked to
Death In Night.
No comment Is needed on the following
letter. It tells of fearful experiences that
have fortunately been overcome;
"Dear Sirs Often in tha night my wife
had to wake me up because I was almost
choking to. death with catarrh. I had one
of tha worst cases that was ever known
and skillful physicians said It was chronlo.
Fortunately a friend told me of Hyomel
and I used this treatment faithfully and
today am free from catarrh. I used Hyo
mel perhaps five times a day and could
soon see a great change. A complete out
fit and an extra bottle cured me. I always
carry a Hyomel Inhaler in my pocket, so
as to prevent any colds or slight catarrhal
attacks that are common at this season of
the year. Yours fraternally,
"Thomas flnchan, Putnam, Conn."
It Is the easiest thing in the world to
cure catarrh or catarrhal colds If you use
Hyomel. Breathe Its health-giving, bal
samic air for a few minutes and your
catarrhal trouble will soon be cured.
Tha complete outfit costs but one dollar
and consists of an Inhaler that can be
carried in the purse or vest pocket &
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomel
The Inhaler lants a lifetime, while extra
bottles. If needed, can be obtained for 60
cents. In Omaha there are scores of w.u

contra uted to the Dowell Offering at about
the same time Lucy Larcom, who, like
herself, was a mill girl, was beginning to
write for it. In 1848 she married William
S. Robinson, who under the pen name of
Warrington attained considerable promi
nence as a war correspondent. After her
marriage she wrote and lectured on the
woman's movement and was among the
first women to speak before the congres
sional committee in behalf of woman Suf
frage. Her greatest achievement was the
book "Loom and Spindle," a story of the
early Industrial conditions of Lowell, and
of which Carroll D. Wright said that fu
ture students of economic conditions in
America would be grateful for this ac
count of this experience of women in their
early industrial struggle.

Obesity In Amerlcu.
A New Yorker recently undertook a long
fast, for the second time, to reduce his
weight, but such heroic methods are not
likely to be adopted by many. Moderation
in diet, however, has long been recom
mended, but never more so than now, and
particularly so In conjunction with certain
mineral waters, the use of whlrh Is strongly
advised by some medical authorities. The
British Medical Journal goes so far as to
say that the efficiency of a Hungarian
aperient water named Apenta for the sys
tematic treatment of obesity la clinically
established; a leading Berlin medical jour
nal speaking of observations made in the
famous clinic of Prof. Gerhardt at the
Charity hospital, Berlin, snya that this
Apenta water produces a reduction of fat
In tha body without detriment. The neces
sity for this moderation In diet almost
leads one to picture the typical American
of the present day as rotund and bucolla
rather than long and lanky, as has been
the favorite characterization of Uncle Sam.
