Whose Say "so is Best ?
With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists , one has to take
the maker's say-so alone as to their cura
tive value. Of course , such testimony is
not that of a disinterested party and
accordingly is not to be given the same
croriit us If written from disinterested
motive * . Dr. Pierce's medicines , how
ever , form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers' say-so or
pr.uVe. Their ingredients are matters of
public knowledge , being printed on eacb
separate bottle wrapper. Thus invaliu
suHirers are taken into Dr. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes
in praise of the curative value of the
several ingredients entering into these
well-known medicines.
Amongst these writers we find such med
ical lichts as Prof. Finley Ellinuwood. M. D. .
of Bcnnet Medical College. Chicago : Prof.
Hale , of the same city ; Prof. John M. Scud-
der. M. Dl , late of Cincinnati. Ohio ; Prof.
John King. M. D. , late of Cincinnati. Ohio ;
Dr. Grover Coe. of New York ; Dr. Bartho-
Jow. of Jefferson Medical College , of Pa. ,
and scores of others equally eminent.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the worst cases cf female weakness , prolap-
sus.anteversicn and retrovcrsion and corrects
irregularities , cures painful periods , dries up
disagreeable and weakening drains , some
times known as pelvic catarrh and a multi
tude of other diseases peculiar to women.
Bear in mind , it is not a patent nor even a
secret medicine , but the "Favorite Prescrip
tion" of a regularly educated physician , of
lareo experience in the cure of woman's
peculiar ailments , who frankly and confid
ingly takes his patients Into his full con-
iiaence by telling them just what his "Pre
scription " is composed of. Of no other medi
cine put up for woman's special maladies
and sold through druggists , can It be said
that the maker is not afraid to deal thus
frankly , openly and honorably , by letting
every patient using the same know exactly
what she h > taking.

Footprints of Ape-Man.
A laugh of incredulity was raised
by many two years ago when certain
1
marks on a block of sandstone found
near Warrnambool , a flourishing mi
nor port of the State of Victoria , were
identified as footprints of prehistoric
man , says the London Chronicle.
However , the sending of a plastei
cast of the block to Germany excited
keen discussion and led to the arrival
in Australia this year of Dr. Herman
Klaatsch of Heidelberg University ,
and to the announcement by that sa
vant that , in his opinion , the marks
were genuine human imprints. This
decision , coupled with the doctor's in
vestigation concerning the human
skulls in the Warrnambool museum ,
revived the old notion that in old Aus
tralia will be found the traces of the
very closest approximations of thf
npe-man the link between huinanitj
and the ape.
Further discoveries by Dr. Klaatsct
In the way of footprints in the sand
stone of .extinct species of some son
of great bird analogous to the emu
species have added fuel to the specu
Jations.
A telegram from Warrnamboo'
states that Dr. Klaatsch consider *
that an extensive sandstone formatter
tinder that town thousands of yean
ago formed level , sandy beaches
which were the camping ground ol
the prehistoric races then existing. Ai
that time Australia and Tasmania
formed part of a great antarctic con
tincnt which extended up into the In
dian ocean and connected Australis
and Asia with Africa.

"THE INCURABLE. "
VRBAROUS , " "inhuman , " "murderous" are
terms in which prominent physicians and
lawyers solemnly condemn the bill before
the Ohio Legislature for the painless death
of incurables.
The mild term unscientific does not sound
so loud , but it carries further.
If the killing of patients afflicted with "incurable"
diseases had been considered the only means of relief in
the past , who would have been mov i to devote days
and years and lifetime to the studyaring ?
Many diseases which long seme.l arable are now
successfully treated. For countless centuries , the plague ,
the smallpox , rabies , tuberculosis and swift , subtle diph
theria carried with them the sentence of death , but
men sought patiently and persistently for effective ways
to fight these dreadful foes of humanity , even sacrificing
their lives in unselfish zeal ; and as a result we have vac
cination , inoculation and antitoxin , aud millions once
deemed incurable are saved.
Within the memory of old physicians the preparations
for a surgical operation were alarmingly simple ; enough
carbolic acid to nearly stifle the operators was thrown
about the operating room , and that was all. Only G to
10 per cent of the cases recovered. But now , from a
hospital of high standing , where the operating room is
surgically clean , comes the report of over 100 consecu
tive abdominal operations which were entirely success
ful.
Suffering and struggle against death have spurred men
on to accomplish these things. Must they suddenly be
called on to halt , to strive no more , to accept defeat ?
Must they reverse their course , and give death instead of
life ? Killing is no incentive to curing. Slipping off bur
dens never strengthened shoulders. Giving up problems
never developed minds. Kansas City World.
, WHEN YOU ARE BLUE.
GREAT many persons have Vhe blues. They
imagine that they are having a hard time
in life and that their sorrows reach the
limit. They are wrong. If you have such
feelings you should compare your condition
with that of someone else who is pulling
hard against the stream of life. Read a
touching passage in the life history of a poor Milwaukee
woman.
Mrs. Mary Wiedig , widow , lost her only child , a little
girl. She had no money to give the child a decent sep
ulchre. She went to the poor commissioner. And this
is the sequel : Mrs. Wiedig staggered up the path in
the cemetery which led to the plot of ground where her
husband was buried , bearing the little coffin which held
the body of her little one. She took a spade she had
put there the day before and began to dig. Poor wom
an ; she was digging the grave of her only child the
last sweet tie that had held her to earth. And as she
worked she sobbed and cried. She called on the dead
man under the ground to help her bear her sorrow till
she could come to him.
A man who passed through the cemetery heard the
crying and went to the spot where the frail woman
bent to her awful task. She explained why she was

the sexton. "They would have buried her for me for
nothing if I had let them put her grave over there in the
potter's field. But she was such a little child , so little ,
and sometimes when I was obliged to leave her alone she
was afraid of the dark. I wanted her to lie by her
father's side so she would not be afraid. I told the
poor commisisoner how I felt and he gave me this cof
fin. The woman who lives next door from me is coming
out next Sunday to plant some vines. "
And the agonized mother talked on , half wild with
her grief and scarce knowing what she said , calling
tenderly the name now of husband , now of child.
The man had a heart. He hurried to the sexton and
gave him money to dig the child's grave and money to
round the little mound and plant some simple flowers.
And the woman cried , but this time the tears were sweet
instead of bitter.

TEMPERANCE INCREASING.
N spite of the asseverations of the total ab
stainers to the contrary , statistics prove that
the whisky drinking habit in this country is
on the decline. The preliminary report of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for
the fiscal year , which closed June 30 , shows
a decrease in the amount of whisky with
drawn from bond as compared with the previous year'of
704,0-10 gallons. No one will say that there hns been
a decrease in population during that period. The same
figures show a corresponding gain in the constuaption of
beer , the increase being 1,231,407 barrels. The revela
tion these figures furnish Is that people are drinking less
spirits , containing 50 per cent of alcohol or so and more
beer , containing 5 per cent or less of alcohol.
One does not have to seek very far to find at least one
cause for this change. The existing industrial conditions
enforce sobriety. When the population of the country
was sparse and mostly composed of farmers , the drunk
enness of one did not endanger the lives of many. But
with the concentration of the great manufacturing in
dustries of the country in mammoth structures , employIng -
Ing thousands of workmen and filled with costly ma
chinery , too much is at stake to permit machinery or
motive power to be handled by those whose
wits have been befuddled with drink. The same
is true of the more than a million men employed on steam
and electric railway lines. Thus it has come to pass
that sobriety has been enforced by an inexorable de
mand.
While it is not to be expected that drunkenness will
be entirely abolished , the tendency is clearly toward its
decline , as well as towards the substitution of the lighter
and less intoxicating beverages for those of a stronger
and more dangerous type. Philadelphia Bulletin.

p The Senate was not in session Satnr-
k day. It being war claim day in the
House , only those directly interested in
5 hg'c-iation on the private calendar were
"n attendance. The House , in four hours ,
pr.Rsed 179 bills , and many were sent to
the Court of Claims for adjudication. One
of the- bills parsed awarded $77.712 to the
French Trans-Atlantic Cable Company for
tl-e cutting of the cable and destruction
of cable houses during the war with
Spain.
la the Senate Monday Mr. Long intro
duced the court review amendment to the
railroad rate bill agreed on at the White
House Saturday , but could not get the
floor to speak oil it. Mr. Fulton of Oregon
gen spoke in favor of the bill as it stands ,
discussing its constitutionality and precip
itating a general legal debate. Mr. Nelson
anJ Mr. lleyburn mad- brief speeches on
the measure. Mr. Uale reported the ur
gent deficiency bill and gave notice that
heoulcl call it up Tuesday. Mr. Tillman
presented a complaint from John S. Wil
liams & Sons , bankers of Richmond , Va. ,
alleging that the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western roads discriminated
against Virginia points in favor of Phila
delphia and Baltimore , and took orders
from Pennsylvania railroAl officials. A
joint resolution was passed reappointing
Andrew D. White as member of the board
of regents of the Smithsonian Institution.
The Mallory bill , providing for federal
control of interstate quarantine regula
tions was passed. The personal liabiity
bill , favored by the army o railway em
ployes in the country , was passed by the
House , as was a measure permitting the
fortification of sweet wines and levying a
tax oC o cents a gallon on the wines thus
fortified.
Mr. Long o Kansas spoke at length in
\hc Senate Tuesday in support of the rail-
yoad rate bill. Several Senators who were
not at the recent conference at the White
House when the Long amendment was
considered made inquiry concerning its
proceedings , but both Mr. Long and Mr.
Allison declined to divulge anything. Mr.
Long assumed complete responsibility for
the amendment. Mr. Tillman presented
his daily letter on the railroad and coal
situation , it being a complaint from C.
W. Eedes of Balston Spa , N. Y. , a retail
dealer , who charged that the Delaware
an-1 Hudson Railroad Company had
crowded him out of business. The confer
ence report on the Indian bill was consid
ered , but no action was taken. The House ,
i by a vote of 202 to 2(5 , passed the national
I quarantine bill , which gives the general
i government control of sanitary work in
j epidemics , particularly yellow fever in the
Southern States. There was much opposi
tion on the part of representatives from
the South , but the leader of the minority ,
Mr. Williams , the author of the bill ,
i spoke in its favor and the majority of
th-j southerners voted with him.
In the Senate Wednesday Mr. New-
lands discussed the railroad rate bill , ad-
j vocating amendments providing for the
. national incorporation of railroads , and
: announcing himself as favorable to gov
ernment ownership. Mr. Daniel spoke on
the Jack of representation from the Southf

ed his remarks on a provision in the
urgonr deficiency appropriation bfll for the
repiesentation of the United States at the
next Pan-American congress in Rio Ja

Department did not contemplate represen

his motion the bill was amended so as
to provide for more delegates and as
amended was passed. The bill opening to
