A Significant Fact No other medicine for woman’s ills has any such professional endorsement as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has received, in the unqualified recommendation of each of its several ingredients by scores of leading medical men of all the schools of practice. Is such an endorsement not worthy of your consideration ? Is it not a significant fact too that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription /s the only medicine sold through druggists, for woman's peculiar weak* nesses and ills, the makers of which arc not afraid to print its every in* gredient on its outside wrapper ? Is this not worthy of your consideration if you are a poor sick invalid woman ? The formula of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, narcotics, harmful, or habit-forming drugs, and no agent enters into it that is not highly recommended by the most advanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their several schools of practice. These authorities recommend the ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription for the cure of exactly the same ailments for which this world-famed medicine is advised. A booklet of ingredients, with numerous authorative professional endorsements by the leading medical authorities of this country, will be mailed free to any one sending name and address with request for same. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. It’s foolish—often dangerous to accept a substitute of unknown composition in place of this time-tried medicine of known composition. Don’t do it. Insist on getting what you ask for.

GOOD ROADS QUESTION IN CONGRESS
roads in all parts of the country. The American farmer is a patient citizen, but he is a persistent individual when he goes on the trail of a Federal appropriation.—New York Sun.
Officers raided the clothes pressing establishment of James Grogan Sunday afternoon, in the Donner building and arrested ten young men, who, the officers allege, were having a quiet Sunday afternoon game of “craps.” The officers have been keeping their eyes on the Grogan room for some time, having been informed that something was doing there. After getting information that a game was on Saturday afternoon, they decided that they would investigate. The arrival of the officers surprised ten young men, all of whom were arrested. The boys, however, declare that they were not gambling. Those arrested were Ed Welch, Fay Davidson, George lilake, jr.. Will Sheppard, Clarence Patterson and James Grogan, white, and Clark Bridges, Sam Marsh, Sam Worrel, and Pete Worrel, colored.

If hills in Congress are shadows of coming events, the time may not be far distant when the National Government will be engaged in road building in every state in the country. Some thirty bills relating to the matter were introduced during the last session. All were referred to committees and buried in committee room pigeon-holes. None has got as far as consideration on the floor, but the discussion of the Postoffice appropriations and the appropriations for the Department of Agriculture gave opportunity for speeches on the subject. Some of the bills introduced called for the distribution of the present treasury surplus among the states exclusively for the purpose of build-

road construction or for state and national co-operation. There were calls for a national highway’s commission. for Federal loans to states, for specific appropriations, and Mr. Cockran of New York proposed an automobile highway from coast to coast. About four-fifths of the proponents represented districts in the South, as indication that state rights are forgotten when money is wanted
from the Federal treasury. There is no question that good
roads in all parts of the country would represent a saving of hundreds of millions of dollars to the American people. There are more than 2,000,000 miles of roads in the United States, and less than S per cent, of the total is in the class known as “improved roads,” that is, treated with macadam, gravel, said clay or other materiel. A large percentage, perhaps as much as 00 per cent., of all the products of the country is hauled by wagon for a longer or a shorter distance. Investigation has shown that the average
, , i crop, however, was larger, haul over wagon roads is eight miles ,
and that the average cost is 2r> cents a ton mile. It is asserted that good | roads would reduce this cost to 19 cents a ton mile. The saving on corn alone is estimated at $12,700,000 a year, on wheat $10,250,000 and on

good
roads is so obvious that argument of i the matter is superfluous, but It would cost about $10,000,000,000 to macadamize our entire system. This, however, is not proposed. There are cheaper but still effective systems, I known as sand clay roads and burnt clay roads, the cost of which is from $100 to $500 a mile. The appeal to , tiie central Government is made mainly on the ground that the communitie.. most in need of good roads are least able to pay for them. New York, with its large population of well-to-do people, can afford the $50,000,000 which lias been voted by that State for highway improvement. The expense of constructing any- ( thing like an adequate system in j most of the states of the south and! west v uiil reduce their inhabitants to beggary. The natural desire for an improvement of their economic condition and a realization of their inability to pay for what they want brings into the field the National Grange, with a membership of more than a million farmers, and the Farmers Educational and Co-opera-tive I'nion, witli demands that their reprotent at i ves in Congress insisi
upon Federal appropriations. The little end of the wedge in this
matter appears in connection with the rural free delivery system of the postal service. These routes now cover more than 925.000 miles of dirt roads and carriers make their rounds over them every week day. Some routes have been abandoned because of the iuipusaability of the roads. The Supreme Court lias clearly declared the power of the Federal Government to construct interstate highways, and the Congress is empowered by tiie Constitution “to establish post offices and post roads." Here is the opening for the farmer's campaign for national higliI ways, the power of Congress to con

QUAIL ARE VALUABLE
f armers Have Reason I’ei* Objecting T<> the Extermination of the Itird —Valued at Five Dollars Each. Farmers generally assert that a large number of quails on a farm would make it possible to raise good big crops of winter wheat In this county and that is the reason so many tanners are so irrationaly, appiir. ntly, opposed to hunting on their j larms, “Quails are worth five dol!;irs apiece to us.” said a farmer, this morning, “because they eat so many bugs which are so disastrous to our w*heat fields. Is it no wonder that WO become enraged when city people I'omc out to kill and wound hundreds of our host friends."
