CORONA PEOPLE SLAUGHTER STORM-WATER BONDS First They Asked City Council to Call Election to Vote on Them. Then They Rose in Their Wrath and Fell on Them. The proposed issue of $94,000 of storm-water bonds by the town of Corona will never be among the things that happened. The thoughtful taxpayer, rising in his wise wrath, slaughtered them to beat the band. First, seventy-six citizen tax payers petitioned the city council to call an election to vote on the bonds, and then only twenty-four votes were polled in favor of them at the election. The petition to the city fathers was in words and figures as follows: "Whereas, it has become apparent that the City of Corona is in need of protection from overflow of storm water and that it is necessary to drain such water by storm ditches and securing an outlet for same, and that it is necessary that ditches and necessary embankments, dams and other appropriate or auxiliary means be built for the purpose aforesaid. Now, therefore, we the undersigned residents, electors and property owners within said city, do hereby respectfully petition your honorable board, that you employ some competent person to make general plans and estimates of the costs of such canals, ditches, levies, dykes, embankments, dams or machinery or other means or works, necessary to carry off the storm or flood water aforesaid, and to protect the lands of the property owners and streets in the said city, from overflow and storm water; that after said plans have been completed and the estimates made, that the board, if it deems best to adopt such plans, call a special election for the purpose of determining whether or not the city shall issue bonds for the construction of said ditches and canals, etc., above mentioned." The election occurred some days ago, resulted in defeat of the bonds by a vote of 147 to 24; total vote polled, 171. Probably the fact that Corona had recently assumed a bonded indebtedness of $350,000 to construct 23 miles of pipe line and cement ditches to supply it with irrigating water, had something to do with the slaughter. UNITED STATES PARADISE OF FARMERS Exports Exceed Those of All Other Countries Combined—Greater Than Ever the Past Year. Nowhere in the world does agriculture approach the importance it occupies in the United States. With but one or two exceptions no crop grown abroad equals that of our agriculturists, while in many crops we not only surpass every other country but all countries combined. There are two reasons for this preeminence. The magnitude of our home market, which consumes fully 90 per cent of our products, and diversification of our crops, which serves to utilize the largest possible acreage and give employment to our large farming population. Forty percent of our people are farmers, who not only feed and clothe themselves, but all the rest of the inhabitants, besides exporting annually $1,000,-000,000 worth of their products. The advantages the United States farmer have shown most vividly this fall. Though many crops were smaller than usual, yet our farmers will realize more than in any previous year of our history. The prosperity of the people, the splendid means of lake and railway transportation, with low freight rates combined with a rise in values for short crops and stable prices for all crops, mean more to the farmer than they have ever meant before. Here again is the advantage of diversification shown. We are not a wheat-raising country nor a wool-growing people, nor are we exclusively devoted to corn or cotton, hay or oats. A damage to one or even several crops is not a national disaster, as it is made up in the value of the whole. If the Russian wheat or rye crop fails there is a famine. If the German beet be damaged the whole country suffers; if the Australian wool prices fail there is consternation throughout the island. So it is in Austria, Argentine, and to some extent in France. We number less than 5 per cent of the world's inhabitants, yet we produce 78 per cent of the cotton, 75 per cent of the corn, 30 per cent of the wheat, 26 per cent of the oats, 26 per cent of the hay, 38 per cent of the meat, 27 per cent of the butter and cheese, 50 per cent of the eggs, 12 per cent of the wool, and so on. Of the world's total agrifoods one of the quearest little pets ever seen is the tame ant belonging to a well-known scientist. This man keeps tribes of ants in nests which he has made himself and feeds them with honey or sugar through a tube that connects with the nests. One day he saw that one of the ants kept coming into the tube to eat up the honey in-the glass bulb at the end. When he took out the cork that closed the bulb, the insect came to look for the food, and he offered it some honey on the point of a needle, says the New York Tribune. The ant shrank back at first, then drew nearer, feeling about with its antennae until it reached the needle. Soon it learned to take the honey or its keeper's finger, although ants among the most timid of living things and a new odor or the least movement outside their nests usually drives them little insects away. This ant is now so tame that it quirks bulb as soon as the cork is removed and goes to find the honey on the scientist's finger. When its meal is over it does not try to hurry away, but waits till its master lifts it on a bristle and carries it back to its nest. A Rattlesnake Story. In "Life and Sport on the Pacific Coast," Horace A. Vachell relates one of his narrow escapes from a friend ballet: "My cousin and I had been camping and hunting for several days in a sort of paradise valley. One day during a long ride on horseback, he had seen a great many rattlesnakes and killed a few, an exceptional experience. That night my cousin woke up and saw, by the light of the moon big rattler crawling across my chest. He lay for a moment fascinated, later struck, watching the sinuous curvature of the reptile. "Then he quietly reached for his shooter, but he could not see her tail's head, and he moved nearer, not lessly, yet quickly, dreading soMovement on my part that should elicit very thing he dreaded. Then he saw that it was not a snake-all—only the black and yellow stripes my blanket, which gently rose and as I breathed. Had he fired—well might have been bad for me, for confessed that his hand shook." DENOUNCE A CORRESPONDENT Santa Ana People Take Exception to State ments Concerning Severity of Wind. The Associated Press correspondent at Santa Ana has had the dignity thrust upon him of being denounced by the Chamber of Commerce. The day of the big wind last week he sent out a glowing account of the blow, which the Chamber of Commerce thinks was slightly overdrawn. In fact, it declares, by implication, that Santa Ana's blow was not so much of a wind after all. However, parties arriving from that burg state the wind was the worst in thirty years, and that the correspondent was not so far wrong after all. The resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce denouncing this fresh young man, are rich, rare and racy: "Whereas, the correspondent of the new Associated Press wrote and sent from this city a certain grossly exaggerated and false report of the storm of yesterday, which will be injurious to our community, if not corrected; and, Whereas, we have heretofore suffered in silence from many similar exaggerated and false reports published in certain Los Angeles papers; and, Whereas, the continuance of such a condition has become intolerable: therefore be it "Resolved, That we, the citizens of Santa Ana, in mass meeting assembled, declare such reports to be grossly exaggerated, false and unfair. We assert: "First—That the wind did not 'carry loads of sand and pebbles,' but only the dust of the streets and fields. Second—That there was no 'blinding cyclonic sand storm,' the wind at no time exceeding a velocity of forty miles an hour. Third—That 'the sand did not blow in pillars or blind and smother pedestrians and teams,' nor was 'traffic suspended' at all. Fourth—That it is false that 'several business houses sustained broken plate-glass windows,' and that 'every awning and sign were blown down,' the truth being that only one plate-glass was broken in the entire city, and not a single sign or awning was blown away. Fifth—That the telephone service was not crippled, and that the electric light was only interrupted by an accident to the line outside of the county. Sixth—No train was delayed within the county of Orange. Seventh—That the orange crop sustained but slight damage." We number less than 5 per cent of the world's inhabitants, yet we produce 78 per cent of the cotton, 75 per cent of the corn, 30 per cent of the wheat, 26 per cent of the oats, 26 per cent of the hay, 38 per cent of the meat, 27 per cent of the butter and cheese, 50 per cent of the eggs, 12 per cent of the wool, and so on. Of the world's total agricultural product we raise nearly if not quite 50 per cent. Our fiscal policy protects our farms as well as our factories, and as long as we maintain our home market so long will our farmers be secure. But with the deterioration of foreign agriculture must come a constant increase of our agricultural exports. There are to-day 550,000,000 "bread eaters," of which number we form but one-seventh. In 1896 we exported 144 millions of bushels of wheat—other countries 206 millions of bushels. In 1897 our exports equaled the exports of all other countries. In 1898, 1899 and 1900 our exports exceeded those of all other countries combined, and this year we shall export 300,000,000 of bushels, or twice as much as will be exported by all other nations. We shall then have left 450,000,000 of bushels for home consumption and seed purposes. We would extend our rye acreage and probably increase our growth of rice, much of which we import. Our acreage of flax was this year nearly treble that of 1896, our beet product is increasing rapidly, and in fibres we are only started. The total value of our products of agriculture is between $8,000,000,000 and $9,000,000,000, a stupendous sum, and yet it means only a per capita consumption of $100 a year for what we eat, the basis of what we wear, and much that enters into the construction of our dwellings and furniture. The farmer of the United States is blessed over all the other farmers of the earth in opportunity, in contributory agencies, and in the consequent compensation that rewards his labor with prosperity and happiness.

A Deep Mystery It is a mystery why women endure backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. "I suffered for years with kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley, of Peterson, Ia., "and a lame back pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Bitters wholly cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework." It overcomes constipation, improves appetite, gives perfect health. Only 50c at all druggists. Property Attached. A suit has been instituted and writ of attachment issued against P. A. Stanton, J. N.

Fleishman, the missing cashier, who vanished into Mexico December 7, owing the bank, it is alleged, $100,000. The directors allege that he took with him when he disappeared "bills of large denominations." Deputy Sheriff Roberts served the attachment on Frederick B. Cochrane & Co., stock brokers at No. 20 Broad street, with whom the bank directors had heard Fleishman had an account. They have reason to belleze that he speculated extensively there, and that the rise in sugar in the last two days has increased his account more than $5,000.

Oppose Harrison Pension The Woman's club, of Rockville (Ind.) has formally opposed a pension for the widow of ex-President Harrison. It is the first formal expression of views by an organization in the home state of the late Gen. Harrison. The Woman's club stands high in the state federation of clubs. The following is what was adopted: "In view of the fact that there is danger of a bill being introduced into Congress to grant a pension to Mrs. Harrison, widow of ex-President Harrison, the Woman's club of Rockville enters a protest against this measure. We believe it a bad precedent, even should the President die in office; but, under the circumstance, Mrs. Harrison not being a widow of a President, but of an ex-President, we consider the bill entirely uncalled for, and a vicious precedent to establish. In these views we believe we voice the sentiment of a very large majority of the citizens of the state." An Ant For A Pet. The quecrest little pets ever the tame ant belonging to a well scientist. This man keeps tribes in nests which he has made and feeds them with honey or through a tube that connects nests. One day he saw that the ants kept coming into the heat up the honey in the glass the end.

Ant shrank back at first, then scarer, feeling about with its amount it reached the needle. It learned to take the honey off its finger, although ants are the most timid of living things, new odor or the least movement their nests usually drives these insects away. Ant is now so tame that it quits so as soon as the cork is removed to find the honey on the scifinger. When its meal is over, it not try to hurry away, but will its master lifts it on a bristleries it back to its nest. A Rattlesnake Story. Life and Sport on the Pacific Horace A.

An old and not yet obsolete mode of taking a collection in a Scotch church is by means of a ladle—a small wooden box at the end of a straight wooden shaft about four and a half feet long, the top of the box being sufficiently open to receive contributions of money. For all special collections this was the usual mode in the chief churches of Edinburgh when I was a boy at school there 50 years ago, but it has gradually gone out of fashion and is not often to be seen nowadays. For ordinary Sunday collections the general custom has been to have a metal plate or basin on a small table at the church entrance superintended by an elder—a mode which was often called the brood. When ladles are used, they are handed round the congregation by elders after the sermon or after the last psalm, and the common Scotch phrase to "lift" the collection may come from this custom.—Notgs and Queries. The Successful Doctor. The king of purgatory sent his lictors to earth to bring back some skillful Chinese physician. "You must look for one," said the king. "at whose door there are no aggrieved spirits of disembodied patients." The lictor went off, but at the house of every doctor they visited there were crowds of walling ghosts hanging about. At last they found a doctor at whose door there was only a single shade and cried out, "This man is evidently the skillful one we are in search of." On inquiry, however, they discovered that he had only started practice the day before.—Giles' History of Chinese Literature." To Be Wise. "Ef you wants to git de reputation of knowin a lot," said Uncle Eben. "keep still an let de yuthuh feller talk.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 104½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. A Chinese Stratagem. Rajah Suran, who was one of earlest rulers of India, overran entire east with the exception of na, killed innumerable sultans with own hand and married all their daughters. It is said that when the Chieh heard of his triumphant progress learned that he had reached frontier they became much alarent. The emperor called a council of generals and mandarins, and upon advice of a crafty old mandarin following strategem was carried out. A large ship was loaded with nails, trees were planted on the tree vessel was manned by a nume crew of old men and dispatched to rajah's capital. When it arrived most wonderful part of the story that it did arrive—the rajah seo officer to ask how long it had taken vessel to make the trip from Cthe Chinamen answered that all been young men when they sead that on the voyage they had ed the seeds from which the great had grown. In corroboration of story they pointed to the rusty which they said, had been stout bars as thick as a man's arm they started. "You can see," they cluded, "that China must be as long distance away." The rajah was so much impaired by these plausible arguments that concluded he would not live enough to reach China and aband his projected invasion. Getting Personal.

My old man and a spat, an I went right out painted my peppals, an they come up." Still another saying is that crops to prosper must be planted redheaded or by a high tempered man. Negro also says that one never jaybird on Friday, for the bird his satanic majesty to "peak kin" on that day. The three signs which negroes place implicit trust in the well known ones of the ground are appearing above ground on the February, that a hoe must not be brought through a house or a death will now and that potatoes must be planted in the dark of the moon as well as vegetables that ripen in the ground that corn must be planted in the end of the moon. Lord Southey's Guillotine. The most eccentric action of an occidentian was Lord Southey's cool arrangement for suicide by means of a votive. He had a magnificent one used in the drawing room of his home in the Rue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony in with gold and silver, the frame carved with artistic skill, the sharp as a razor, was of polished ornamented steel. Preparing for his lordship had his hair cut and, clothed in a robe of white he kneeded upon the platform over the knife before a mirror and passed the spring which should release knife. But the spring failed to break, and the would be suicide decided alive the guillotine to a museum intended of making a second attempt to his life.

Sent Coffin to Young Lady As the Mercier family, of Spokane, Wash., were eating Christmas dinner two pistol shots were fired outside. The family went to the door and stumbled over a small coffin on the steps. It bore the inscription "Merry Christmas for Miss Luhu Mercier." A few moments later George Reno, a discarded suitor of Miss Mercier, called her up on the phone and asked her how she liked her Christmas present. The coffin was perfectly made and upholstered. It was about three feet long. The father of Miss Mercier had Reno arrested for sending obscene letters to his daughters. Mrs. Ellis, a department store clerk, also received a coffin for a Christmas present, presumably from Reno. The prisoner denies the story. ON FIRE. An exploding lamp; the clothing in a blaze; a paragraph in the paper telling of horrible suffering from burns. Tragedy in this form moves a man to tears. But for women who are daily being consumed by the smouldering fire of disease there is little sympathy. Inflammation, with its fierce burning; ulceration, eating into the tissues; the nervous system almost shattered by suffering, these are only part of the daily agonies borne by many a woman. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription puts out the fire of inflammation, heals ulceration, and cures female weakness. It tranquilizes the nerves, restores the appetite, and gives refreshing sleep. "Favorite Prescription" is the most reliable put-up medicine offered as a cure for diseases peculiar to women. It almost always cures. When I first commenced using Dr. Pierce's medicines," writes Mrs. George A. Strong, of Gansweort, Saratoga Co., N.Y., "I was shaken by female weakness, a disgusting draining-bow pain, weak and tired feeling all the time." I began taking your medicine.

A friend pointed out that the statesman had inadvertently domed his turban wrong side before, and that the diamond was safe in the rear. Had Wu Ting Fang been wearing a Benson's Porous Plaster on his chest or back to care his cold, he never would have doubted its location. He would have felt it doing its work—warning and making flexible the torpid muscles, extracting the pain and soreness, promoting the free circulation of the blood, stimulating the skin and lungs to proper action, and so dissolving and banishing the malady. Thus we perceive, beloved friends, that THE BIG DIAMOND ON HIS HAT while a pretty thing to look upon, was of no practical use. But Benson's Plasters are supremely useful.

Mah Suran, who was one of the most rulers of India, overran the east with the exception of Chilled innumerable sultans with his hand and married all their daughter. It is said that when the Chinese king of his triumphant progress and decided that he had reached their father they became much alarmed. The emperor called a council of his regals and mandarins, and upon the decree of a crafty old mandarin the dwelling strategem was carried out: large ship was loaded with rusty trees were planted on the deck, vessel was manned by a numerous of old men and dispatched to the king's capital. When it arrived—the wonderful part of the story is it did arrive—the rajah sent an order to ask how long it had taken the fleet to make the trip from China. The Chinamen answered that they had been young men when they set sail that on the voyage they had plant seeds from which the great trees grew. In corroboration of their view they pointed to the rusty nails they said, had been stout iron as thick as a man's arm when started. "You can see," they condied, "that China must be a very far distance away." The rajah was so much impressed these plausible arguments that he included he would not live long enough to reach China and abandoned projected invasion. Getting Personal, the favorite Scottish method of dealing with sleepers in church was publy to denounce the delinquents. The Christian Leader tells this story: When the Itev, Walter Dunlap, miner of a United Presbyterian church Dumfries, saw a member of his flock lodging while he was preaching, he stopped suddenly and said: I doot some o' ye hae taen ower my whey porridge the day. Sit up. I'll name ye out!" Another Caledonian preacher, on like invocation, cried out, "Hold up yer hands, my friends, and mind that nelr saints nor sinners are sleeping in next world." Then, finding that this general extention was insufficient to deter a certain well known member of the church from getting his night's restward, the reverend gentleman turn toward the offender and said: James Stewart, this is the second time I have stopped to waken ye. If I need to stop a third time, I'll expose ye name to the whole congregation." The Heart Cry of the Motherless Maiden. * Mother, come back from that echoless shore And take me again in your arms as of yore.* When the mother is taken from the home, the loss falls heavily on each member of the family. But in time kindly Nature heals the wounds, dulls the memory, and comforts the heart. The little girl turns anew to her dolls and her plays and her mother becomes a memory. The real loss that she has sustained comes to her much later in life, when "standing with reluctant feet where womanhood and girlhood meet," she feels the need of a mother's counsel. Young women especially do not realize how intimately the general health is related to the health of the delicate womanly organs. When the local diseases are cured by "Favorite Prescription" the general health at once improves. The appetite is restored, sleep is enjoyed, the form rounds out, the cheeks regain the line of health. Miss Simmons says in the letter as a result of using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription she feels as though she had "A NEW LEASE ON LIFE." This is not only a feeling but a fact, as is shown by thousands of testimonials which say "'Favorite Prescription' has made a new woman of me." "I am still improving more and more every day. I am just as well now as I was when I came into the world," writes Mrs. P. A. Graham, of 617 Race Street, New Orleans, La. "I will put it at that anyway, for I cannot remember ever seeing a well day since I became a teoman (twenty-five years ago), until six months ago when I begin use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets.' They are the best medicines on earth made for women and their complaints. No matter what the disease may be even if call incurable by the doctors. If any suffering woman will write Doctor Pierce he will write her a fatherly letter and give her good advice and if she will follow his instructions will find out in a very short time that she has been mistaken by putting her trust in home doctors. I had been sick for eight years until six months ago I commenced with Dr. R. V. Pierce's medicine and it brought me out to where I am now, from ninety pounds to one hundred and thirty-five. Any lady may write to me, enclosing stamps, and I will answer." Women suffering from diseases of long standing are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All letters are read in private and answered in private, and the written confidence of women are guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed in personal consultations with Dr. Pierce, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. Address correspondence to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. A great many women who have taken advantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation by letter, have expressed their gratification at being able to escape in this way the indelicate questionings, the offensive examinations and obnoxious local treatments, considered necessary by some local practitioners. Dr. Pierce's wide experience and wonderful success in the treatment and cure of womanly diseases, enables him to obtain accurate knowledge of diseases by the written statement. In a little over thirty years, assisted by his staff of nearly a score of physicians, Dr. Pierce, chief Another Caledonian preacher, on like evocation, cried out, "Hold up yer hands, my friends, and mind that saints nor shiners are sleeping in the next world." When finding that this general exposition was insufficient to deter a certain well known member of the church from getting his night's rest toward the reverend gentleman turn toward the offender and said: "James Stewart, this is the second time I have stopped to waken ye. If I need to stop a third time, I'll expose ye name to the whole congregation." Dickens and His Titles. Charles Dickens had great difficulty choosing titles for his various publications, says The Golden Penny. The following is a list of no fewer than 14 suggestions given by the author to his reviser, Foster, for the title of one book, out of which, need hardly be added. No. 6 was chosen: 1. According to Crocker. 2. Prove It. 3. Stubborn Things. 4. Mr. Grandgrind's Facts. 5. The Grindstone. 6. Hard Times. 7. Two and Two Are Four. 8. Something Tangible. 9. Our Hard Head Friend. 10.

As a rule, said a prison warden, a man is in a despondent mood during his first week's imprisonment. There are exceptions, however, as this incident will show. One Saturday about dinner time I was suddenly accosted by one of the new arrivals who had served the first week of his sentence. "I say," he remarked, "has a lady been asking for me at the gate?" I told him that if he had been wanted the governor would have sent for him. "Oh, very well. Keep cool," he said. This is the first time for ten years I've put in a full week's work, and the old woman is sure to be at the gate for my wages." And with a grin the cheerful one passed on—London Answers. A Little Too Faithful. A chief in Paris being elased by the police, throw away during his flight the purse he had seized and was in a fair way, after being taken to the police station, of being allowed to go free for lack of sufficient evidence to hold him when his faithful dog, which he had trained to fetch and carry, trotted into the station, wagging its tail, with the missing purse in its mouth—Paris Journal. The Gentleman's Psalm. A reader of the Scriptures emphasizes the Fifteenth Psalm as the gentleman's psalm because it describes among the many who are entitled to be considered as gentlemen "one who leadeth an incorrupt life, speaketh truth from his heart, doeth no evil to his neighbor, is lowly in his own eyes, keepeth his word even if it be to his own hindrance." She is perplexed about conditions of which she cannot speak to any other. She thinks of the family physician. But her delicate nature shrinks from the questions she might be called upon to answer. And so without counsel or help she drifts along while every day time tightens the fetters of disease. Young women instinctively know that certain conditions are abnormal. They know that heads and backs were not made to ache. But they do not know where to turn for relief. ANY MOTHER WOULD SAY what almost every mother knows, that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best medicine for the cure of womanly ill. It not only cures headache and backache but it cures the womanly ill which cause these pains. "I am so much better since I commenced taking your 'Favorite Prescription,'" writes Miss Jessie Simmons, of Thurston, Frederick Co., Md. "I am very much improved in health, and feel as though I had a new lease of life. It was just what I needed. Am more than thankful to you for the kindly interest you have taken, and hope that others will find the same benefit from your valuable books and medicines that I have." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not offered as a cure-all. It is a woman's medicine, and it accomplishes perfectly the cure of womanly diseases. It establishes regularity. It dries unhealthy and offensive drains. It heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is a purely vegetable preparation, containing no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine nor any other narcotic, and cannot disagree with the most delicate constitution. WHAT MISS GREER THINKS. "I think that your 'Adviser' is a fine book," writes Miss Flora I. Greer, of 107 Howe Street, Akron, Ohio, "and a book that everyone should own. If more girls would read it instead of trashy novels there would be healthier women and children than there are to-day." The book referred to is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. It contains 1008 large pages and over 700 illustrations, and is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent stamps for the cloth-bound volume, or only 21 stamps for the book in paper-covers. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. ARE YOU DEAF?

F.A.WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1908. Gentlemen:—Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city; who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that at only temporarily, that the head noise grew then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then went your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your tracing after I had used it only a few days according to your directions; the news seemed good today; after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. F.A.WERMAN, 750 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
