There is no joy in this world
equal to the happiness of mother
hood. A woman's health is her
dearest possession. Good looks,
good times, happiness, love and its
continuance, depand on her health.
Almost all of the sickness of women
is traceable directly or indirectly
to some derangement of the organs
distinctly feminine. Troubles of
this kind are often neglected be
cause a very natural and proper
modesty keeps women away from
physicians, whose insistence upon
examination and local treatment is
generally as useless as it is com
mon. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
poription wil Ho more for them than
90 doctors in 100. It will do more
than the hundredth doctor can un

newspaper accuracy: .4
Perfection is Impossible Yet Errors
Are tbe Exception. '
; Every day ' BQmebody, ' and often
somebody who dngKt to now' bet
ter, says : uYoti canH belieye any
thing the - newspapers say." The
assertion involves a double fallacy,
the first branch of which is that the
statement is wholly unsupported by
evidence, and the second, that the
speaker himself; if he will but stop
and think a moment will be con
vinced of the folly of his utterance.
He speaks, as most of us do, without
thinking. ; ..'
It is quite true that mistakes are
made, especially in the spelling of
names of persons and places, and of
ten in dates as well. It is also true
that there is always somebody ready
to pounce on an inaccuracy in de
tail, and to insist that Smith should
be spelled -Smyth,! or that some
baby Prince or Princess died in J uly
instead-of August; but what of it?
If the hypercritical critic only knew
the difficulties that encompass tele
graphic transmission, the rush and
scurry of the telegraph editor, and
the never-ending struggle of the
proof reader, he would not wonder
that Smyth should be spelled
Smith, but why it' should not ap
pear as Brown or Jones, and why
the capitol of Herzegovina should
not be located in Madagascar or
Patagonia. -
To this should ba added the all
important fact with which news
paper men are only too familiar,
that in attempting to secure an ex
act account of some particular in
cident the reporter- la confronted
with, may be, half a dozen ; stories,
each of which ia told in perfect hon
esty and sincerity, but all differing
in detail, depending upon the point
of view of the narrator. ,
This of itself precludes anything
like perfect accuracy in newspaper
reporting, and- not; unfrequently
leads to errors and mistatements
for which no one connected with
the press canbe held wholly respon
sible. ' NevOrthelees, ; publishers
recognize the fact that they are
nominally accountable for whatevi r
they print : consequently they aim
to be as correct as possible in the
presentation of news. As has been
previously intimated, the obstacles
in the way-of perfection are too
great to be overcoriie, therefore the
newspaper must be content with
tbe nearest possible approach to certainty-
and, aa the saying is, ulet it
go at that." ' . - ?v
Sensible readers accept this un
alterable condition of- things, and
make due allowance for mistakes
which cannot be - avoided. The
newppaper appreciates their kind
ness. Press and Printer, r.
