That In commending the adop tion and maintenance of a Arm and strong policy on thecpart of tho United Statts Gov ernment toward China, we are convinced that luch policy must depend for its nucccss. first, upon the determination of the former to adopt Mid execute such domestic measures, legisla tive or otherwise, as may by it be deemed necery for its own welfare and that of t American people, and. secondty. upon a full and frank recognition of the right of Chna to prosecute the same course in Its own behalf.

ALBANY TO HAVE A HOSPITAL Catholic Institution Receives Sup port or Citizens Generally. ALBANY. Or.! April l3T-(Special.)-Al- Is tbe joy of the household, for without it no happiness can be complete. How sweet the picture of mother and babe, angels smile at and commend tbe thoughts and aspirations of the mother bending- over the cradle. The ordeal through which the expectant mother must pM, bow erer, is .so full of danger and suffering that she looks forward to the hour -when k shall only, which tovghens and renders iai uc vmiy, wotui iogocxw anu rcnoen MOTHER'S FRIEND WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN; Froa tbe view point of tbe average man boeeework is very easy. Tbe wile k rigs at bosae. She k feer own aak tress. Sbe caa sit down aad rest aav tisse. She caa even go to bed for a aapi it see feels like it. She can order her household affairs y&st to suit her own convenience. If she doesn't feel equal "to dotag work to-day, see caa do it to-morrow. Tkat's the beautiful t$ery of tbe average saan. Just seppose the Egyptian task-masters, when they nade the required daily tale of bricks tax tbe uttermost of human strength, had said to the toning slaves, "Don't hurry, take a rest every now and then only don't forget that yoar tale of bricks must be all right at night or eke there'll be trouble." There's the fact. There are the day's da ties to be got through, and the women who eon rest may not. The woman, who, when she married, said, "Now, I'll be my own mktreas," finds herself a slave to household cares and duties. And oh! how much that woman needs rest sometimes. She brushes and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples throbbing, her back: aching, her nerves Quivering under the stress of pain. What she would give if she could just creep upstairs and throw herself on the bed in a darkened room and rest. Rest would temporarily relieve the strain, doubtless, bat it would, be tbe same story over again to-morrow. The real need of weak, nervous women is strength, and that need k fully met and satisfied by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It re moves the causes of women's weak ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces restful sleep.
