"The crisis in South Africa is urgent, but we must not keep our eyes upon South Africa a?on.r. Last December , the government made earnest overture? 'to-the trreat powers. Germany and the United States, for an allianre. but the?r overtures were not received with such cordiality as to encourage the govern ment to pursue them. It does not ap pear that the friendship of France swould bear any great strain, and as to Rus sia, events have beejt recently witness ed in Persia, which England formerly would have had something to say about, but which she now passes unnoticed "It becomes tha government to take a large grasp of the situation and to -make adequate proposals. :. DENIED IN WASHINGTON, j Washnigton. Feb. 15. The statement of Earl Rosebery. that in December overtures were made to the United States for an alliance, is not substant iated here. The officials of the admin istration are at a loss to understand the report, and express the opinion that some mistake has occurred. , So far as the United States is concerned they de clare that no offer of alliance lias been made. j 'Tis said that absence conquers love; But. ohj believe it not, I've tried, alas! it's power to provej But thou ?rt not forgot. ' j.; rpHE day when the girl becomes a woman ; the day when the wife becomes a mother ; the day when the change JL of life begins; those are womans three days of destiny. At each of these pentidsi of functional change the balance of health, both of mind and body, is disturbed. There may be only weakness; and nervousness, or there may be hysteria, depression and dementia, horror of mind and anguish of body. j . No argument is necessary to prove that woman needs to exercise the greatest care of her womanly health during these periods of functional change in order to save herself from the serious results which so often follow. There is a medicine for woman designed to help j her in these critical periods. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has helped and healed thousands of sick and suffering women. i j i It is not a cure-all. .. It is prepared specially for woman's peculiar ailments and acts with wonderful healing power upon the delicate female organs. It regulates the periods, heals inflammation and ulceration, cures female weakness; and invigorates the entire womanly organism. It makes the baby's advent practically painless, and gives abundant vitality to nursing mothers. . " Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientifically prepared medicine, and within the scope of its purpose it is without a rival in the lasting benefits it confers upon weak and sickly f women. There are many medicines offered, for women's use which seem heloful because thev I relieve pam and stimulate the body. --. - - ; - v I . .

Favorite Prescription " contains no alcohol, and is absolutely free from opium, cocaine,, and all other narcotics. " NEVER DESPAIR." ' - '. j - 'l ' - . '. . . ' No woman need despair of a cure of the dis eases affecting the womanly organs if she will give "Favorite; Prescription "a fair and faithful trial. The mojst obstinate cases yield to the action of this great remedy. . Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free, of charge, and sor obtain the benefit of the advice of a specialist in diseases of women. There is no similar offer of free medical advice which has behind: it an institution like the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. As chief consulting jpfiysician to this institution, as sisted by his staff of nearly a score of specialists, Dr. Pierce has in a little more than thirty years treated and cured over half a million women. All correspondence is strictly private 'and sacredly confidential. Address Dnr R. V.

C, "to thank -Dr. Pierce for the great good received from the use of his ' Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery. I had suffered I for three years or more at monthly periods. It seemed as though I would die with pain in my back and stomach. I could not stand at all without fainting ; had given up all hope of ever being cured, when one of my friends insisted upon my trying Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. With but little faith I tried it, and before I had taken half a bottle I felt better, had better appetite aud slept better. Now I have taken two bottles of ' Fa vorite Prescription and one of "Golden Medical Discovery, and am happy to gay I am entirely cured, and all done in two months' time when all medicines had failed to do any good at alL" , A Mother's Pangs ml would like to express my gratitude to you for the benefit I have received from your wonderful medicine 'Favorite Prescription,' " writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, of South Britain, New Haven Co., Conn. (Box 33). "During the first month of pregnancy I could not keep anything on my stomach. Was so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. I tried different doctors, but with little benefit. I read about many being helped by using your medi cine so I thought I would give it a trial. I began to take your Favorite Prescription in November and I had u nice little baby girl mFebrury fol lowing. My baby weighed over eight pounds. I was only in hard labor about one hour and got along nicely during confinement ; was up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had the doctor with me at all ; just the nurse and one or two friends. My friends thought that I was sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is indeed a true 'mother's friend, for it helped me wonderfully.) It kept me from having a miscarriage. This makes my second child ; with the first one X did not take Favorite Prescrip tion ' and I had a miscarriage. ! The little one lived just about two monthly and she was sick all the timej This last baby is as plump and healthy as anyj mother could wish. She is about three weeks old now and is gaining in flesh every day." -! . - Change of Life. Mrs. M. Barnes, of Balls Ferry, Shasta Co,,, Cal., writes: "My physician said I was suffering from the effects of change of life.' I had heart disease ; womb trouble and rheumatism. My head was so dizzy I could hardly stand up. When I began Dr. Puree's medicines I improved right along. I took seven or eight bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription. ', a teaspoonful three times a day, arid the Pleasant Pellets at night. I feel as well as I ever did.) I take great pleasure in, recommending Dr. Pierce's medicines to suffering women. I think they are the best medicines in the world. I can't say enough in their praise. The 'Favorite Prescription cured me after I had been sick for two years so I was hardly able to be about. c-ftr is. kg 1 71 fR!lkT ' ffSBEHT DR.

They Are Kerpingr Up With the Gov ernor in Learning the Manly ; Art. Albany," Feb. 4. Gov. Roosevelt's two boys are Wonders in the eyes of their associates at the Albany Acaue rny.' They are chips of the old block, and their boxing instructor says they do not know the meaning of the word fear. They would just as .willingly right a boy twice their size as one their Own size. "Why," said the instructor. "sometime the kids have an idea they can lick me, and if they keep on like hey are now, well, there is trouble ahead for any one who is looking for it with them." i 1 The governor's recent experiences with a professional boxer and wrestler are familar to the public, and it was $0 interning a fact to learn that the chief executive of the empire state was exercising in this manner that the peo ple completely overlooked the boys. But the boys were right in it" all the time, and Prof. Dwyer put on the pad dled fives" with them every time he called on their sire for a little rough work. After the professor went away the bovs were without sn instructor in j the manly art of self-defence, and they pined tor some one who could teach them. The governor is anxious to have the boys Icarn to box. for he believes in itf as a beneficial and healthful sport and pastime, which, if properly used, will produce good physical results. But Gov, Roosevelt also knows that, un less properly taken, the exercis; is lia ble to prove other than good, and therefore he wishes a competent suc cessor to Dwyer. Several local boxers were tried as instntctor and trainer, but they did not fill the bill, and now, tLe governor has a young man. consider ed to be one of the best athletes in Air bany; who is doing very well with' the boys. ;- A room" on the second floor o? the executive mansion has, been set aside for their use." 3 The room' is stripped of all furniture and carpet, a wrestling mat being on he floor, on1 which the governor does his work in private with his instructor. In the center of the ring is a punching bag. Th; boys receive instructions three times a week. Thev are stripped of all clothing and attired, in only bathing trunks. One is taken at a time and he is instructed in the va rious attitudes to be assumed. The box er sometimes stands on the defensive and tells the boys how they must leadj the feints, crosses, drives and the ad vantages of quickness of the feet and eyes in being able to take advantage of an opening. This is all right, but the! teacher says he finds it hard work td make the boys assume the defensive and resprt'to tactics of getting out of attempts to t'the way of the leads or i bring them in. . - . ij "Why, they want to dd the leading j themselves all the time," e said, "'and if I make a drive for them, they won't j get out of the way, but comd right in ! and go after me. Thfy are doing won derfully well for boys and 1, tell you they would make many fellows older j than they are look sick in a bout where pseience comes in." . .-j. j, The boys have to punchj the bag just ;jso long every day the teacher is pres ident.
