Treating The Wrong Disease
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from
liver or kidney disease, another from nervous prostration, another with
pain here and there, and in this way they present alike to themselves
and their easy-going or over-busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In
reality they are all only symptoms caused by some weakness or derange-
ment of the organs distinctly feminine. The physician, ignorant of the
caus( of suffering, keeps up his treatment until large bills are made.
The suffering patient gets no better by reason of the wrong treat-
ment, but probably worse. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby
dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged
misery. It has been well said, that "a disease known is half cured."
Itr. Pierce's Fa. orite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system.
It Is made of native American medicinal rrrnts without the use of alcohol
and is perfectly harmless In its effects In any condition of the female system.
As a powerful, invigorating tonic "Fa-
vorite Prescription" imparts strength to
the whole system and to the organs dis-
tinctly feminine in particular, for over-
worked,"worn-out," "run-down," debilitated
teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seam-
stresses, "shop-girls," house-keepers, nurs-
ing mothers, and feeble women generally,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
greatest tarthly boon, being unequaled
as an appetizing cordial and restorative
tonic.
\s a soothing and strengthening nerv-
ine "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled
and is invaluable in allaying and subduing
nervous excitability, irritability, nervous
exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia,
hysteria, spasms, St. Vitus's dance, and
other distressing, nervous symptoms com-
monly attendant upon functional and or-
ganic disease of the distinctly feminine
organs. It induces refreshing sleep and
relieves mental anxiety and despondency.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets invigorate
the stomach, liver and bowels. One to
three a dose. Easy to take as candy.
Evfry Woman' ought to possess Dr. Pierce's great hook, the People's Common Sense Medical
Adviser, a magnificent thousand-page illustrated volume. It teaches mothers how to care for their
children and themselves. It is the best doctor to have in the house in case of emergency. Over half
a million copies were sold at $1.50 each, but one free copy in paper-covers will be sent on receipt of
21 one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only: or send 31 stamps for a handsome cloth-bound
copy. Address the publishers, World's Dispensary Medical Association, 6(33 Main St., Uufblo, N. Y.
HONORS WITH THE
At the inter-high school track meet
given tiy the Southeastern State Nor-
mal of Durant, Shawnee tied Ardmore
for first place, winning a total of 41
points. A cup is awarded by the
Southeastern Normal to the team
winning the highest number of
pointB, but since there were two
teams which tied for first place
neither team was permitted to take
the trophy, but will await the de-
cision of the committee as to whom
the cup shall go.
Taking into consideration the fact
that the track was new and conse-
quently very soft, excellent records
were made on all the rums. Es-
pecially can this be said of the long-
er races.
Shawnee only one three first
prizes, but took second in almost
every event, bringing home a total
of 14 medals. Mention should be
made of the mile run which was won
by Payne of Shawnee, who covered
the distance in 5 minutes and 11
seconds. The shot-put, which was
won by J. Higgins, deserves credit-
able mention. The distance made on
this event was 42 feet, 10 Inches.
Anderson of Ardmore placed second
with a put of 42 feet, 7 inches.
An individual medal was not given
to the all-rouud athlete, but Shawnee
had the distinction of producing the
best all-round man. Fauble was in
the lead with a total of 13 points.
Fauble participated in five events be-
sides the relay, and won a medal in
each event. This is Fauble's first
year in high school athletics, and
he has shown stellar qualities in all
departments, playing end on the foot-
ball team, guard on the basketball
team and is capable of doing the
dashes, jumps and hurdles on track.
With the right sort of training a bril-
liant future is prophesied for this
youngster.

The high school track team wishes
to thank the merchants and business
men who made it possible for them
to participate in the inter-scholastic
at Durant. The High School Athletic
Association was devoid of funds and
the members of the team went to the
merchants and business men of the
town and asked for a contribution
to assist in paying the expenses of
the team to the meet. The call was
answered and enough money was
contributed to pay the expenses of
seven to Durant. With this crowd of
sturdy athletes, Shawnee, although
greatly outclassed in numbers by
teams from other schools, put up a
noble fight and fought to a draw.

ROSS F. LOCKRIDGK,
County Judge.
A regular jury venire has been
called for a term beginning April
17, but by reason of the setting of
cases in the district and superior
courts, the county attorney and the
attorneys generally have requested
that the term of the county court
be postponed a week or 10 days.
Consequently no other setting will
be made at this time. It is probable
that the jury will be impaneled and
the one day's setting disposed of,
and an adjournment ordered to a
day certain for the jury to convene
again.

8tory of a Young Man's Experience
That Points a Lesson to Citizens
of Every Community.
The Toronto Mall recounts the
story of a young man, a citizen of
the Dominion, who recently visited
several cities of the states. He
brought back with him some impres-
sions of one of our cities in particu-
lar—Minneapolis, Minn.—and In the
opinion of our contemporary Canadian
cities might consider his views with
great profit. ' The truth is, the lesson
of this young man's experience should
prove as interesting to communities
on this as on the other side of the
border. It amounts to this, that
everybody he met in Minneapolis
spoke well of the town. "Of the many
people he met there," says our in-
formant. "he found not one who was
not enthusiastic about the city. The
conversation seldom ended without
the other party giving it a turn to
the popular theme—Minneapolis.
"Now, this young man not only
listened in Minneapolis to praise of
Its places of Interest, Its progress, its
prospects, Its advantages as an In-
dustrial center, as a place of resi-
dence, and so on, but he stored these
things in his mind, took them over to
Toronto, talked to the editor of the
Mall and Empire about them, and got
the latter interested In them to the
eJctent that he sat down and wrote an
editorial extolling handsomely the
civic pride of tie Minnesota city.
"The lesson the editor draws from
the young Canadian's enthusiasm—or
rather the cause of it—is that pride
of city is something that would be
both becoming and useful on this side
of the line. While Minneapolis Is not
the only city in the United States
where the young Canadian might have
found a similar measure of local pride
and enthusiasm, there are many cities
In this country, be it said with regret,
in which public sentiment is so lino-
tured with criticism of everything
local that the visitor Is led to won-
der why, under all the circumstances
the complaining residents who talk
for those places do not move away.
"It Is rather a trite way of putting
ft, we know, but this does not prevent
it from being true, that a city is what
its citizens make It. If a city is not
what it ought to be, this is generally
the fault of the citizens who content
themselves with criticising It"
HOUSE BUILT IN NINE HOURS
Quick Work by Members of a Los
Angeles Lodge In a Spirit
of Brotherhood.
A unique record In home building
was established in I/>s Angeles re-
cently when 100 members of the
Woodmen of the World erected a four-
room cottage on East Fifty-second
street in less than nine hours.
From top to bottom, from roof to
foundation, front porch, front steps,
sewer connection, gas pipes, plumbing
and even the painting was completed
long before dark and the little house
was ready for occupancy. Where
in the morning had been a ragged
patch of corn and ugly undergrowth
by night as cozy a little cottage as one
could wish for poked Its little red
chimney skyward and its doors stood
Invitingly open.
Ix>ve and the spirit of brotherhood
made possible the seemingly impos-
sible. The house was erected by the
Woodmen of the World for their fel-
low member James Harvey and his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Harvey. Har-
vey is thirty-five years of age. Many
years ago he became a member of the
order and was a hard working and
popular member. Five years ago he
was stricken with chronic rheumatism
that may make him an invalid for the
rest of his life. He has been unable
to do any work since.
The house is 15 by 34 feet In di-
mensions, has four rooms and a fully
equipped bath, hot and cold water and
gas. It is valued at more than $1,000.
Shelley the Henpecked.
Ernest Hunter Wright, in an article
on the death of Dr. Frederick James
Furnlvall, throws this new light on
the home life of the poet Shelley:
"Dr. Furnivall's father was a sur-
geon, but touched literature at one
point—he attended Mary Godwin
Shelley for a time. He found it
privilege to wait upon that lady. She
was forever ordering Shelley about
like a slave, and wearing his life out
with her whims and tempers. It was
'Shelley do this/ or 'Shelley do that,'
from morning to night, with never an
endearing word and Reldom a polite
one. So the elder Furnlvall decided on
some advice for Shelley, and though
not a man of phases, he spoke his
mind as best he oould one day when
the poet had dropped in to watch him
make pills.
