Pierce, whose picture appears above, was not only a successful physician, but also a profound student of the medicinal qualities of •Nature's remedies, nxits and herbs, and by close observation of the methoils used by the Indians, he discovered their great remedial qualities. especially for weaknesses of women, and after careful preparation succeeded in giving to the world a remedy which has been used by women with the best results for half a century. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is still in great demand, while many other so called •'cure-alls’’ have come and gone. The reason for Its phenomenal success Is because of Its absolute purity, and Dr. Pierce's high standing as an honored citizen of Buffalo Is a guarantee of all that is claimed for the Favorite Prescription as a regulator for the ills peculiar to women.

Wi-asHiraYHorv Work Would Solve Reclamation Problem

r ASHINGTON. — Formation ' of a fact-finding commission to Investigate the whole system of govern-

w

meat methods in reclaiming arid and semi-arid lands by irrigation has been announced by Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of the Interior. Invitations were sent to seven citizens of national reputation and prominence to serve as members of the commission and conduct an intensive study of the problem which is characterized as one of "national concern." This is In furtherance bf a policy instituted last April. Secretary Work, In outlining the reclamation situation, declared, “It is generally reported that relatively few >f the original settlers on projects now ’••main on them as water users.” He «lso cites the fact that “one hundred and thirty-four millions of government money have been expended for reclamation, and but fourteen millions have been returned, while six millions are due and unpaid." Those asked to serve on the commission are: Julius Barnes, president United States Chamber of Commerce; Oscar E. Bradfute. president Arneri-

Training children in habits of highway safety Is the principal task of the 1923 safety campaign, but through the children it is hoped that the principles of traffic regulation and safety education will be impressed ipon everybody. 1 The third annual safety campaign | takes the form of two contests, one I among elementary school pupils and! j mother among elementary school j I teachers. Approximately five hundred j , state and national prizes are to be I riven Lfr the best essays ami lessons ; j written.

Japanese Government Thanks America

T WILL require five years to lay the foundations of the new cities of Tokyo and. Yokohama, and fmm ten to fifteen years to complete

their construction, according to reli- ! able estimates compiled in this city, s An approximation of the Japanese tosses places the figure at 32.000,000.t 000. This area is one of the most I densely populated in Japan, supportl ing 15,000.000 people, more than onej fourth the entire inhabitants of Japan. A touching expression of gratitude ! for the sympathy and assistance of the Unlteil States in the Japanese disaster was communicated by Count Yaraa- ! moto, premier of Japan, on behalf of i the Japanese people to the American government. The message was trenssiittetl to the State department by Masnao lliinlhara. Imperial ambassador Li re. It read* in part: “At a time when Japan was making her best endeavors to follow the letter i and spirit of the Versailles treaty and the Washington treaties, which we believe have laid the foundation of world peace and will greatly promote human welfare, the emprie was visited by a most appalling disaster, in which all the elements combined. “In this hour of deep grief and anx- | lety, felt alike by the emperor and all his subjects, the President of the

Uncle Sam to Make New Paper Money

ECRCTARY MELLON’S approval of the new designs for paper I money, under consideration for more than a year, has been an-

s

nounced at the Treasury department and many brand new bills of distinctive type and marking soon will be in circulation. The new designs at first will affect only United States notes, sliver certificates and federal reserve notes is denominations up to 3100. with the exception of the “unpopular” two dollar note, but It is hoped later to extend the new designs—amounting almost to a program of standardization—to national bank notes and ultimately to the rare gold certificates. Working to make the job of counterfeiting less remunerative treasury experts chose the method of standardizing designs, giving one denomination of all kinds of currency one distinctive design for face and back, so that those persons Into whose possession the money comes may recognize instantly if alteration has been attempted.

Crime Bill Is Three Billions a Year

associations, and otbet authorities, made public by the National Surety company of New York. The estimates were prepared at the request of the Institute of* Economics at Washington. The greatest single ite c is stock frauds, the annual loss from which is estimated at $1,000,000,000 oy Seymour L. Cromwell, president of the New York Stock exchange. Fraudulent bankruptcies were estimated by Secretary Tregoe of-the National Association of Credit Men to inflict the annual losses of $400,000,000 on the Investing and speculating public. | According to these figures, every, man. woman and child in the United States is robbed or cheated out of about S3O a year; or, putting it another i way. enough crime is committed in I the United States to earn an income of S3O a, head to every American.

can Farm Bureau federation; James R. Garfield, ex-secretary of the interior; Elwood Mead, engineer and author of works on irrigation and reclamation. Berkeley, Calif.; Former Gov. Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona; Former Gov. David W. Davis of Idaho, now commissioner of reclamation, and Dr. John A. Widtsoe, formerly presldent of the state university and agricultural college of Utah. The letter of Invitation sent forward by Secretary Work follows, in part: “Time extensions for payment of both construction and maintenance charges have been asked which, If granted, would multiply deferred annual payments, it is feared, beyond the ultimate ability of the settler to pay, entailing probable loss of his home and to the government the loss of the investment. - , "Reclamation has done much toward ‘the development of the West, but it now clearly requires to be adapted to existing conditions, so that its future success may be achieved and the p«>s sibility of home ownership be assured to settlers.

Contest in Schools The subject of the essays which children are invited to write is "Highway Safety Habits 1 Should Learn.” Essays, as last year, are not to exceed five hundred words In length. Those eligible are pupils of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades, who are not more than fourteen years of age. The contest opened with the beginning of school and will close December 4, 1923. Teachers are requested to submit safety lessons on the subject “Train- | ing Children in Habits of Safety on i the Highways." The limit suggested !is between 1,000 and 3,000 words. All elementary school teachers In the : eighth and lower grades are eligible to submit lessons. In the teachers’ contest the first national award is SSOO and a trip to Washington with all expenses paid. The second is S3OO, the third is $1,200. The first national prize for pupils is I a gold watch and a trip to Washington with all expenses paid.

j United States, issued a proclamation urging the American people to come to the aid of the stricken people of Japan and designating the American Red Cross to administer the relief work. Then the commander of the American Asiatic fleet lost no time in dispatching the ships under his command to the scene of the disaster and offered the services of the entire fleet "The report of these spontaneous and prompt measures, taken by the President, the government and the people of the United States, is creating a profound impression in the ’ grateful hearts of suffering Japan. "With these facts in mind. I desire I to express in the name of the Japa- , nese government their most heartfelt thanks to the American government and at the same time to convey to the President and people of the United States the deep sense of gratitude of my sovereign and of the entire nation of Japan for this noble thanifestation of a sincere and generous sympathy. I am happy in believing that this precious gift of the American sympathy in the hour of greatest trial for the Japanese nation cannot but serve the peace of the world. In drawing still j closer the bond of friendship and trust between the two countries.”

The faces of the new bills will carry portraits of well known figures in American history, mostly presidents, and the best known faces have been chosen for the bills most used. The one dollar bill for instance, will have portrait; the five, Lincoln, and the ten. Jackson. Cleveland’s likeness will appear on tin twenty-dollar bills while for the fifties and one hundreds, the portraits of General Grant and Benjamin Fraftk- * lin, respectively, have been selected. The backs of the new bills will be ! of the same general character as the ' present gold notes, consisting of the conventional scroll work panel with lathe work border and not pictures and thus the design of any one denomination will become well known, wbeth er it be a United States note, silver certificate or federal reserve note. The whole design will be uniform, and the difficulty of “raising” bills to higher denominations. Chief Moran of the secret service believes, will be greatly increased.

when crime has been so prevalent according to William B. Joyce of the National Surety company. He pointed out that the $3,000,000,000 lost through crime was a larger sum by $500,000,000 than the total of the conn try's annual imports. The present year promises to lead all others. The following, according to Jovce. ( are the principal economic causes'for financial crimes: Widespread disrespect fnr property rights and law caused partly tjy the World war. Envy, resentment, and bitterness caused partly by ostentation of the wealthy class. Many salaries too close to the starvation line. Carelessness of employers in not la- ! vestlgating the past records of new employees. In not auditing the accounts of their . business with sufficient frequency and thoroughness, and not keeping their office funds In properly constructed modern safes. Desire for luxury beyond earning capacities

OUR CURIOSITY — *T'HERE are two kinds of curiosity, : A morbid and intelligent. The one is useless— harmful, i The other Is the driving force that is behind all science and all progress. A man gets out of an automobile in a busy street to pump up a tire. A hundred people gather round to watch him. The same people will stand i around a than who has fatten and in- ; jured himself, gaping at him, and In- , terfering with those who want to aid 1 him. They gain nothing by being there, j They have seen hundreds of tires pumped up—scores of men fall down. ; Their curiosity only breeds rudeness and idleness. Intelligent curiosity Is born in the human being. It prompts the baby to pull his rattle to pieces, and later on to punch a hole in his drum to see what is inside that makes the noise. It finds its fullest development In the j painful investigations of the scientist, seeking to solve the riddle of the unl- ■ verse. out how things work is almost all of useful knowledge. The man who Is indifferent to his surroundings is not going very far on Lis journey in this world. He needs curiosity. It is important that he should gratify it. He ought to be curious about the growth of the tree, the manner in which buildings j I are put up, or battleships are put to- j i Has Anyone Laughed I At You ■ ' Because— By ♦ You write illegibly? ♦ When they laugh here they * <• have something to laugh and ♦ suffer about !

ductive of results, except of the kind that divests us of our sunny disposition’. which we stand and deliver without a word of protest. An odd phase of the'covetous spirit is that it generally sets its affections on objects of no substantial worth. The fine, ennobling things which develop strength of character are often overlooked in the exciting chase for the ephemeral, which grows hotter as the pursuit is continued. Friendship is ruthlessly brushed aside. Hearts are broken. Reason loses its balance in an excitation of feeling. Talents are neglected or wrapped in a napkin and hidden. As the tide of years sweeps us on. we become Impelled by a sort of fanaticism whose power we are unable to resist. Daily we sink a little lower from an existence of independence to. a state of mere servitude, controlled in every thought and act by the fervent spirit of covetousness. It ts a natural Inclination which manifests Itself when, as children, we covet the toys of our playmates. But that Is not alt It sometimes compels us to appropriate the playthings and impudently to claim'them as our own. Having grown up in such an atmosphere we cannot at once escape its mlasmal Influence, though the most of us finally succeed in doing so.
