SUBURBANITES IN Five Thousand Angry Patrons of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Cars Finally Force the Com- pany to Give In. The attempt of the Brooklyn Rapld ‘Transit Company to charge two fares to suburbanites living In East New York caused a riot in which nearly five thou- sand people participated during the rueh hours, and which culminated in the de- feat of the B. R. T. The row was primarily caused by an ordinance passed by the Board of Al- dermen of Jamaica, in response to the plea of Jamaica avenue residents, pro- hibiting the running of "“L” trains on the surface tracks along Jamaica ave- nue. When the ordinance was passed the B. R. 'T. issued orders that trains should stop at the Cypress Hill station, instead of descending the incline and continuing toward Jamaica as hitherto, This meamt that passengers would have to board the trolley o another fare. When the ru: rived and the Rast New York suburban- ttes were told to take the trolley cars at Cypress Hilla there was a kick. They boarded the trolley cars, but refused to pay another fare, and the cars were held for nearly two hours before the inspectors gave up the struggle and or- dered them to go ahead. porate STANDARD OIL JUMPS.

WHAT IS MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN_MOTHER LOVE? “Who ran to help me when I fell And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well, My mother."” A mother’s worries are many. She sometimes forgets her own bodily dis- comforts because of, her overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such a time they have been re- lieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a pre- scription which their mothers had told them was the only woman's tonic to be taken at such times. Dr, Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription has enjoyed an envi- able reputation for over a third of a cen- tury. In all that time it has sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman's needs, and to- day its sales are greater than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this prescription from roots and herbs without the use of a particle of alcohol or narcotic and for the single purpose of curing those dis- eases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty, How few Y} women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is because they are unpre- pared, Is preparation then required for motherhood? asks the young woman, And every experienced mother answers— “Yes.” “L unhesitatingly advise expec- tant mothers to use Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription,” writes Mrs. J. W. G. Ste- phens, of Mila, Va. The reason for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription is the best preparative for the maternal’ function, . No» matter how healthy and strong a woman may be she cannot use “Favorite Prescription” as a preparative for maternity without gain of health and comfort, But it is the women who are not strong who best ap- preciate the great benefits received from the use of “Favorite Prescription.” For one thing its use makes the baby's advent practically painless. It has in many cases reduced days of suffering to a few brief hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and struggle into a time of ease and comfort. ‘A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES. “Good actions speak louder than so, too, does the testimony of many thousands of women duringa third of a century speak louder than mere claims not backed by a guarantee of some kind. That is the reason why the proprietors of Dr, Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription are willing to offer $500 re- ward for women who cannot be cured. Such a remarkable offer is founded on the long record of cures of the diseases and weaknesses pecullar to women. If there {s an invalid woman, suffering from female weakness, prolapsus, or falling of womb, or from leucorthoea, who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription without complete success, the original proprietors and makers. of that world-famed medicine would like to hear from such person—and it will be to her advantage to write them, as they offer, in perfect good faith, a reward of $500 for any case of the above maladies which they cannot cure. No other medicine for woman's ills is possessed of the unpar- alleled curative properties that would warrant Its makers in publishing such an offer. Miss Emma Petty, 1126 S. Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind,, Past Vice-President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Minneola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, Indianapolis, writes: “For sev- eral years 1 suffered with leucorrhoea which was a serious drain on my vital- ity, sapping my strength and causing severe headaches, bearing-down pains and a general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live. 1 had mapy medicines recommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until I took Dr, Pierce's Favorite Pre~ scription. In two months 1 was much better and stronger, and tn four months 1 was well. ‘Have had no more disagree- able discharge, no more pain;»so I nave every reason to praise ‘Favorite Pre- scription.’ 1 consider it without an equal for ills of women.” MARRIED MEN AND WOMEN should have a medical book handy, for knowledge is power. They should know about anatomy and physiology. They should have a book that treats of the sexological relations of both sexes out of and in wedlock, as well as how and when to advise son and datghter.
