A painful pause is said to
have occurred in honoring Pres
ident Faure with the Order of
the Golden Fleece. It seems
there are only a certain number
of the collars used in the inves
titure, and each one of these
when once bestowed, is retained
by the knight until death, when
it is restored to the crown of
Spain or Austria, to be held
until some new knight is be in
vested. Thus King Humbert
now wears the collar once worn
by Christopher Columbus; the
late Emperor Fredericx of Ger
many wore the collar once car
ried by cortes, the conqueror of
Peru, and so forth. Now it turns
out that the only collar which is
vacant —so to speak—is that
worn by the late Prince of Bis
mark, and, since the name of
eaah wearer is engraved on one
of the links of each collar it is
evident that the collar last worn
by France’s bitter and trium
phantenemy will not do for the
president of the French Repub
lic.
Since he returned home Cer

jCz/K 1 Athletics alone will not

i M The best and noblest tnis-
w sion of a woman is to bear
and rear healthy, intelligent children. In
order to do this, she must be healthy and
strong in a womanly way. Both the intel
lectual and physical future of her children
depend largely upon the mother. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for maids, wives and moth
ers. It is intended to do but one thing and
does that one thing thoroughly. It acts
directly on the delicate and important or
gans concerned in wifehood and mother
hood and makes them strong, healthy,
virile, vigorous and elastic. Taken dur
ing the time of preparation, it banishes the
trials and dangers of maternity. It insures
the well being of the mother and the robust
health of the child It is the greatest of
nerve tonics and nerve builders. Thou
sands of women have told the story of its
marvelous accomplishments. Good medi
cine dealers sell it and will not advise a
substitute in place of it.
In a letter to Dr. Pierce, Mr. C. A. McDonald,
of No. »23 N. Chestnut Street. I,os Angeles. Cal.,
says ' “At Junction City I became acquainted
with W. C. Dee. M. D. an old practitioner. He
said he was a college chum of yours, but that you
went to Europe to the best hospitals, while he
commenced practice; that for thirty years you
were considered one of the leading' physicians
in New York State, and he considered your rem
edies better than all others, and prescribed them
daily in hi» practice On the strength of this
commendation I tried your ‘ Favorite Prescrit>-
tion ’ and the Pellets.’ The ‘ Favorite Prescrip
tion has acted like magic in cases of irregular
and painful monthly periods, a few doses only
being necessary to restore the natural function.
The ’ Pellets’ have proven kii infallible cure for
sick and bilious headache." *

“We demand,” says the Kan

Argentina is congratulating

first half of the calendar year

000 and the imports $50,000,000
A like balance for the last half
of the current year would enable
Argentina to meet her annual
charge to English investors, who
have about one billion dollars of
investments in Argentina.
