The "word system" ot spelling that Is now being employed In the public achoote la coming in for severe con demnation from the press of the en tire northwest The Oregoniaa precipi tated the discussion when it quoted letters from high school graduates who had submitted applications for nnaltlon. Tha Post-Intelligencer and Tacoma Ledger have brought out the fault, which lies In the "word system" above referred to. The Ledger char acterizes it as Intrinsically and wholly bad. and adds that It Is the essence nf stuoldlty. In a spelling book pre pared for pupils the "word system" Is exemplified by the following lines: "Alfed Ten-l-sun wos a po-et; HI rote a-bout ft king named Ar-thur. ",. . The nalts wer ol-wex kaind, and tuk car of the sic and or the pur." On th opposite page appears the English of this idiocy. The Ledger maintains that such a production, plac ed before the youth who is at school for the purpose of learning. Is an out race. -, It points out that there Is no reason for filling the mind of a child with nonsense and expecting that In later years It will sift this out for Itself. The Ledger's indignation runs into sarcasm when It denounces the method in the following language: This country takes pride In Us chocls. They have contributed much to iraklng the country what It Is. It baa no patience, nor any reason for havlnc patience, with the introduction Into the curriculum of a blithering and Inane folly that declares In type that the "Nalt tuk car ov the pur and exhibits the decent and seemly word "kind" disguised as "kaind." The pupil will make mistakes enough even when there Is an Intelligence try ine to guide away from mistakes, rath er than a plot to lead Into error. If this "word system," or whatever the abomination is called, receives me treatment it deserves, it will be rated as the visible evidence of a crime. There Is no more sense In It than there would be In the plan of making the pupil believe the sum of two and two to be five, and then expending effort in'ma king the mistake apparent. Schools are supported et considerable expense, and willingly, but they are supported In the belief that thoy ed cate. In so far as they are trying da exactly the contrary, they should reformed with all speed. The 11 Wagner style of gvography Is enough, but a spoiler that docs sp?U Is worse. u- to be .tr had not The Cigarnwkers' Official Journal contains the text of an address to re tail and wholesale dealers regarding the operations of the American To bacco company, which Is and has for a long time past been engaged in an ef fort lo secure for Itself monopoly of the business. The circular points out that the tobacco trust is notorious! unfair, In that it refuses to employ union labor. Py employing child labor it seeks to produce Its wares at so low a cost that it can successfully under sll other manufacturers, and in this manner drive them out of business or compel them to sell their plants to the trust. Its efforts to destroy the union have been persistent. The cig.irinak- era" union points cut that the only hone of combatting the encroachment of this grasping monopoly lies In the general refusal of all fnirmlnded re tailers and wholesalers to handle any brand of tobacco or cigars that dot- not hear the union lab.l. In conclu sion the circular contains this Intelli- eent appeal to the dealers whom I seeks to enlist in its righteous cause. tV Ask vou. In the name of good sound business policy, and in the name of hu.nanity as well, to lend us your moral assistance, to purchase and handle nothing but union blue label cigars. In doing so you not only as sist a worthy cause, but do what Is of Infinitely more vital Importance to yourself orotct and preserve your own business Interests."

The Illinois Central railroad com pany has an all abiding faith In thi future of the great Northwest.

She that "tho husband is tho head oC tho wifo," and she yielded to his will as We have changed all that. We have, cut the word " obey " out of the marriage service. We have accepted the doctrine of feminine equality. Wotneu no longer keep silence in tho church. In business avo cations and professions they march side by side with men. To-day tho intellectual equality of woman in frankly conceded, ami yet that puritan wife, vowed to obedience, whose husband was also her lord, had one point of equality with the stronger set which tho modern woman has largely lost j she had the equality of health, and the equality of courage and strength which enabled her to keep her place at her husbauJ'a side in times of danger aud of peril As housewife she was tireless in her industry. As mother she reared a large family. She knew little of tho aches aud ills which vex the modern woman who has entered upon the heritage of woman's rights. Statisticians have called attention to the decrease in the size of the family. Women shrink from the pangs aud obli gations of maternity. Tho very pnrticipance of women in out door sports once termed manly, is only an evidence of tho fact that she recognizes her physical deficiency and weakness. But outdoor sports and exercises are open to comparatively few women, and while exer cise may promote the health when it is onco estab lished, it cannot produce health. In fact, where there is womanly weakness, exercise may bo an injury where tho weakness permits the possibility of exercise. The first and greatest of woman's rights is the right to be healthy, the right to enjoy herself as a wife and to be happy as a mother. Give woman this and all other features of womanly equality will take care of themselves. In hundreds of thousands of oases this physical equality has been restored to weak and sick women by the use of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Proscription, the medicine which makes weak women strong and sick women well. "My wife used three bottles of Dr. Tierce's medicine, and I never saw such results," writes A. B. Havocs, Esq., of Aurora. Lawrence Co Mo "It was wonderful in its work. We had used lots of medicine, also had one of the best physicians in Aurora, but my wife got no better- we heard one pitiful groan after another, day ami night. A friend handed me a copy of Dr. Pierce's book. The Common Sense Medical Adviser and after reading the testimonials of Dr. Pierce's successful treatment' and seeing that the cases decrited were similar to my wife's, I bought for her a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Before she lud taken all of the medicine she was up and helping to do the work. She has taken three bottles and is now well. Has better health than she has had for years, so perfectly did the medicine do its work." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures womanly ills and tho aches and pains which these ills are the cause of. It establishes regularity and so gives freedom from the periodic suffering which so many women endure with each recurring month. It dries the drains which distress and weaken women. It heals the gnawing ulcer, puU out the scorching flame of inflammation, and perfectly and permanently cures female weakness. It also cures backache, headache, nervous ness, sleeplessness and other ills which are the result of womanly diseases. No doubt you have forgotten me, but after you have read my letter you will remember me," writes Mrs. Annie B. Moring, aj8 7th Avenue, S. W., Roanoke, Vs. "In the year 1897. I wrote you for advice, which you gave me free of charge. Now, Doctor, I will tell you I was a wreck When I wrote to you I could not walk straight, for pain in my abdomen, could not t down, lie down, or get any ease at all. I had what was called the best doctor here, but did not get any better until 1 went through a course of your medicine. I took eight bottles each of ' Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery.' I kept on with the 'Pleasant Pellets' after I had stopped taking the other medicine. I took ten vials of the ' Pleasant Pellets, and I tell you the medicine made a cure of me. My trouble was female trouble, and I am willing to have you use my letter, for there are other women to-day that need your medicine, and it will cure them if they will follow your advice." Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All correnjond ence is held as sacredly confidential, and the written confidences of women aro guarded by the same strict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his daily consultations with isick women, at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. If you are led to use "Favorite Prescription" because it has cured other women, do not allow a substitute to be palmed off on you as "just as good."
