BAD FOR PICNICS. No doubt the recent expose of the conditions governing the meatpacking establishments of our beloved country is responsi ble for real hardship and incon venience to citizens of both high and low degree. From the view point of the packer it seems an outrage that he could not label any kind of a product and sell it tothe dear people. We have noted a wail from this class of cattle to the effect that they would submit without protest to some slight restric tions in the manner of their oper ations. Just so! But when a "slight restriction" will not in sure the general public against meat unfit for a dog our presi dent and our people are justified in everv kind of measure to in sure pure food. Just at this season of the year picnic time it is unfortunate from the housewife's standpoint that the expose occurred when it did. No more canned meat of any sort for a picnicker, be he patrician or plebeian, and the good woman who acts as hostess this season must know some thing of the history of the meats she provides, be they of chicken or ox. In ignorance there is bliss, ut for a woman to secure canned meat for her guests at the present stage of the game is to ba too ignorant to permit of any hope of bliss in the outcome In all seriousness we are com pelled to go back some eight years and consider the "embalm ed beef" scandal raised by Gen eral Miles during the Spanish American - war. The packers were too strong with the seat of government and the powers that rule and General Miles was cried down and forced out of the game. It must be a satisfaction to the general and his friends to to observe the state of affairs at present with President Roosevelt in the saddle. ARGUMENTS OF TRADE. Trade statistics published by the Department of Commerce and Labor show our foreign trade to be far greater for the present year than for any preceding year. The gain in imports is one hun dred million dollars, and in ex ports two hundred million dollars over last year, while our whole foreign trade exceeds three bil lion dollars. Fifty million dol lars is the gain in manufactured commodities, and one hundred and fifty millions the gain in agricultural products exported. This is a most gratifying show ing and positive evidence of our rapid development and the pros perity of our people. We are importing- more largely of raw ma terial to be used in manufactur ing than ever before, and we are exporting more largely, both of manufactured commodities and of agricultural products, and have a lanre trade balance in our favor that is, we sell more to foreign countries than we buy of them. Those who are continually barking for tariff revision and railing against the Dingley tariff should find themselves silenced in face of these facts. They do not, however. On the contrary they argue if we bought more of loreign countries they would buy more of us. They argue thus in spite of the fact that there is no sentiment in trade and com merce. Engla .! b;: our wheat and food stuffs o;.iy because she needs them, mus: have them. We might take her whole manu factured output yet her need would remain the determining factor of her purchases of us. If she could buy all the wheat she needed more cheaply of Russia she would do so, even though our blast-furnaces became cold and our rail mills stood idle that we might buy pig-iron and steel rails from her. We do not place raw materials of certain kinds on the free list and import large quantities of them because we sell goods to the countries which have such materials, but because we need them and must import them since we do not produce them. Our people are prosperous chief y because they first supply their demands and requirements, as far as possible, by their own hands their own labor. Our country is so large, our climate, soil, industries and products are so varied and desirable, and our facilities for general distribu tion of our products so good that our inter-state commerce is all the free-trade we need. This is the trade that makes us prosper ous and happy, and whatever en courages that trade and preserves it to our own people enhances their prosperity and happiness. Free-trade with foreign peoples most assuredly would be, and ever has been, destructive of our own beneficent inter-state free trade. When this sort of free-trade has made our people so prosper ous that they can purchase dia monds and precious stones more largely than ever before it would be suicidal to molest it.

Woman's Trials. The bitter trail in a woman's life Is to be childless. Who can tell how Lard struggle may have been ere she learnt to resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab sence of this link to bind mnrital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection Is a common disap pointment. Many unfortunate couples become estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read the whole extent of their disappointment in the eves of such si childless coupie v.iien they r i or; the chii iron of others. To them the la rjrest f aiiihy does not seem too numerous. .in many cases cf barrenness or child lessness tne obstacle to chlld-bep.rirs is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription has been the moans of restoring health and fruitfulncss to many a barre n woman, to the great jov of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the tearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character but easily removable by painless operative treatment at tho Invalids' Hotel and Sur gical Institute. Buffalo. IS. Y.. over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where chil dren are desired and are absent, an ciTcrt should be made to find out the real cause since it is generally so easily removed bv proper treatment. In ali the various veaknerccs. disp'ar-e-monts, prolapsus, inflammation and de bilitating, catarrhal drains end in rll cases of nervousness and debility, Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can pcssiblv be used. It has to its credit hundreds of thousands of cures more in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through drurri5t especially for woman's use. The ingredi ents of which the "Favorite Presentation " is composed have received the most positive endorsement from the leadine medical writers on Materia Mcdica of all the several schools of practice. All tbo ingredients are printed in plain Eunlish on the wrapper enclosing tho bottlo, so that any woman making use of this famous medicine mav know exactly what she is taking. Dr Pierce takes his pa tients into his full confidence, which he can afford to do as the formula after which the "Favorite. Prescription is made will bear the most careful exam ination. - Ir. - Pierce's Pleasant Pellets" are tie ! ist uuj safest laxative for wosien. ' , UNIO W. L.
