It is notable that tri the despondency caused by womanly diseases, there seetna to many a uering woman - no way of escape fjom pain except at the price of life itself. It would be sad to record such a story of struggle and suffering ex cept for the fact that in such dire distress many a woman -has found a way back to health and happiness by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. : This grfat rem edy for womanly ills has well been called " A god send to weak and , sitk women." It establishes reeu- larity, dries weakening drains, heals in flammation and ulceration and cures fe male weakness. It makes' weak women strong and sick women well. . r "Your medicine almost raised me from the "ded," writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner, of Egypt; ' Plymouth Co , Mass., Box 14.

We were born in Wilkes county, North Carolina, in 18G8, lived on a poor farm, ate corn bread and fat meat and plowed a steer until we were 21 years old. We hap pened to the good luck of getting to attend school 18 months, air told. At the age of thirteen we made the first printing press we ever saw. With a wooden press and type carved from bits of maple and ivy, ink made from the roots pf white walnut, we took the first impression we ever saw made with type on paper. This rude outfit only stimulated our ambition for the ac quirement of better facilities for print ing. Along about this time we got the idea into our "noggin" that some time we wanted to be a "one-horse" editor, so in June 1895, we managed to get up a little old press and some type, all worth about $25, and we "founded' 1 he iellow Jacket beginning it as a three-column, four paged monthly sheet and made up somewhat on the L.

The Chinese poverty problem is com plicated. Its secondary causes are man- fold but after all they are only exagger ation and aggravations of the main factor, the agrarian stagnation. One of my friends residing for a time in the interior asked an official how many beggars he was feeding. He replied 18000. ; "These," he explained, "are all tenant farmers from the north. Few people who 'entirely own their land are bo ; miserably poor."
