MOTHERS Prepare for Trouble! When a girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, and when a woman passes through the changes of middle life, are the three periods of life when health and strength are most needed to withstand the pain and distress often caused by severe organic disturbances. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a non-alcoholic remedy that any ailing woman can safely take because it is prepared from roots and herbs with pure glycerine, containing tonic properties of the most pronounced character. It is not a secret remedy because its ingredients are printed on wrapper. Get Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription from your druggist, in either liquid or tablet form, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce, Invalids’ Hotel Buffalo, N.Y.,for trial package. Large package 60 cents. Quincy, Ills. "When my daughter was just coming into womanhood she got her feet wet and caught a severe cold. This caused her much trouble. She doctored but did not get any better. Some of my friends told me to give her Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription and it did her more good than all the doctoring. I can recommend this medicine as being good for girls at that time of life.” —Mbs. Louise Becker, 228 S. Bth Street. Quincy, Ills.—"A few years ago I developed a severe case of womans weakness. I would have backaches and pains in my side. I can’t begin to tell now miserable I was or how I suffered. I tried everything I could hear of in the way of medicine, with little relief.

It was only necessary for me to take two bottles to completely cure me of this ailment. lam glad to give testimony recommending ‘havorite Prescription.’”—Mbs. John Augustin, 839 S. Sixth Street.- -
“Feminalls” Are Worn.
One of the packing houses in the stock yards in Chicago has persuaded its women employees to wear what it calls “femlnalls,” another form of overalls. The women at first objected, but as so much machinery with belts and other contrivances that are likely to catch in the dresses of women are used, the managers persuaded five women to try it, and it was then easy for the rest to don the femlnalls. In this particular place 7,000 women are employed, about three times as many as last year, and much of the work they do was formerly done by men.

NOVEL IDEA IN RAILROADING
Eastern Road Inaugurates Central Classification Yard for it* Entire System. j| The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, despite its troubles, has just started to put in effect what amounts to a new idea In railroading—a central classification yard for its entire system. The new yard is to be at Montowese, or Cedar Hill, near New Haven, and will be the largest in New England. The Idea of a classification yard may not be entirely new in Itself, but the New Haven yard will be the hub of the whole system, covering most of New England, from all parts of which trains, on all routes, made up of cars for all destinations, will be run to Montowese to be sorted, thus relieving the present terminals and yards on the outposts of the system from much* of their present burden. The Montowese yard will be big enough to take the peak load of the whole system without overcrowding. At the same time the plan of a single huge central classification yard Is relied on by New Haven officials to simplify compliance with the eight-hour law. — New York Times. ——•
