Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
Is the bett ot all medicines for the cure of diseases,
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly gradu
ated physician an experienced and skilled specialist in
the diseases of women.
It it safe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE CfNE REMEDY which contains no alcohol
and no injurious habit-forminf drugs and which
creates no craving for such stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY to good that its makers
re not afraid to print its every ingredient on
each outside bottle wrapper and attest to the
truthfulness of the same under oath.
It is told by medicine dealers everywhere, and any dealer who hasn't it can
get it. Don't take substitute of unknown composition for this medicine of
inown composition. No counterfeit is as good as the genuine and the druggist

trusted. He is trifling with your most priceless possession your health
may be your life itself. See that you get what you ask for.

WHEN AND WHAT
APPLES TO EAT
My experience for (be past six
months in Montana and Dakoia, says
E. T. Iieugoo, a well known apple
man in tbe Spokesman Heview, has
caused me to realize more than ever
what a loss it is to tbe growers from
a marketing etsudpoint to have tbe
consuming publio not to know tbe
kind of apples they want to eat (lur
ing tbe dittereut seasons.
I stepped up to a fruit stand; iu
Helena tbe early part of October and
asked the proprietor wbure be got bis
apptaa.
"r'roui tbe state of Washington, sir;
the finest apples on earth."
lie bad tbe right dope from a
boosting standpoint, and when I ask
ed him tbe vaiioly of bis best looking
apples, 1 found (but he was posted all
right as to tbe name be bad it off tbe
box and answered promptly :
"Wolf River."
X asked him if tbey were good to
eat, and he assured me tbey were,
bo 1 got even with birn by buying an
apple and making trim eat a part of
it. He took just one bite and so did
1.
Now, overyoue wbo knows anything
nt all about apples, knows thtU a Wolf

in additon to its great productiveness.
What on earth a Wolf liiver is plant
ed tor, why it encumbers anybody's
orotund, why any nurseryman will
ptopagute it, are conundrums to mo.
At that particular seawou the Suow,
King, Fall Pippin, Jouatban aud sev
eral other good fall apples were at
their best, and yet between Spokane
aud St. Paul 1 tbiuk I saw Jonathans
ouly three times during tbe entire
season, but was conrrouled in tbe ho
tels and fruit stauds with ilea Davis
and otbir low grade apples at every
point.
Duiiug tbe summ r season 1 was
hungry lor liartlett pears. I got Hart
letts iu Montana perhaps half a dozen
times the entire season. The worth
less Keifer occupied tbe fruit stauds
aud was in evideueo at tbe hotels
Hud restaurants under tbe name of
liartletts for weeks and weeks.
About aweek ago 1 was on a dioiug
car of tbe C. M. & St. P. railway and
noticed "fresh fruit" aa an item on
tbe card, and ordered it. 1 got hu
apple aud an orange. 1 asked the
dining car conductor bow be happen
ed to get that particular variety at
that time of the yeat November 30.
It was an Alexander, a very good ap
ple in August or early September,
but a very poor apple for winter, lie
aid with much enthusiasm, that
he bad built up quite a reputation for
bis oar for baked apples ot this va
riety, and that he wired in for "Alex
anders" every time. There was a man
oateriug to the public, ordering his
Own supplies and anxious to please
bis customers, lieomise tbe Alexander
was appreciated in August aud Sep
tember, he thought it wag "the ap
ple" (o buy, and kept on getting it
just as lung as there was au old box
in any cold Btorage house he could
reaoh.
