John L. Rilcv, of Pittsburg, son of
Samuel Riley, of Forward township,
met with a serious accident on the Ith,
inst., at Schoenberger s mitt.
While Mr. Riley and his helper were
engaged in repairing the fire-box of a
large npright boiler, the red-hot soot of
the upper end of boiler fell upon them,
seriously burning both men. They were
working eight feet below the floor and
the only means of escape, was by a
small transom: and considering their
position, it is marvelous that they were
not burned to death. The men were
taked to the office, where they received
medical attention. Mr. Riley was taken
to his home at 147 44th St., Pittsburg.
Mr. Riley is under the care of ex
perienced nurses, and while his physi
cian. Dr. Sands, regards his burns as
serious he doe 3 not pronounce them
necessarily fatal. His father and sister,
Maggie, are at his bedside assisting in
caring for him.

A Familiar Falsehood.
When a customer seeks to purchase
some well-known, v/idelv advertised,
standard article, and the dealer tries to
sell him something else claiming the of
fered substitute to lie "just as good."
that dealer is guilty of flagrant false
hood.
If the substitute were just as good it
would sell on its own merits and would
be palled for by customers instead of
having to be unloaded upon them by
means of falsehood and deceit.
The very fact of the comparinon "just
as good," proves the claim to be untrue.
We measure tip, not down We meuHiiro
the less by the greater, not the greater
by the I' mh. When, therefore, dome nn
known or little known article is ranged
rip for nieaHurement by a well-known
standard article, the very fact of Hitch
measurement anil conijmriMon, stamps
the HiilMtltnte an a lesser thing than the
standard article with which it in com
pared.

Tlie Goal of lA>T© it Marriage
and the Goal of Marriage
is Maternity.
When a yeung man and young woman
are very mudi m love every step of life
they take Is timed to the music of the
wedding march. The happy consumma
tion may be years away, but down the
path of the yea*s the clear eyes of love
discern the spot which some day they
shall call bom*, And when the mar
riage is consummated and the home
fouuded another thought begins to fill
the minds of *ife and husband, a
thought that lies too deep for words,
the thought of a cooing baby voice, of
I} y the patter of tender baby
'/ / feet and the music of happy
f baby laughter.
If the love of man and woman leads to
marriage, and marriage looks to mother
hood, what is the plain and obvious dutv
of the woman al>out to assume the obli
gations of wifehood and motherhood ?
It is her duty to prepare herself for her
own sake und the sake of the children
that may IK* «lven her, as well as for the
sake of her husband and her home.
HOW TO PKNL'ARN.
The first thing to do is to cure diseases
of the delicate orgunUtn which under
mine the health and strength, Regu
larity should 1* established, disagreeable
and weakening drains must l>e stopped,
weakness must be cured.
" 1 have taken si* bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes
Miss M. Fyfc, of Olilla, Simcoc Co.,
Out., "and two bottles oT the 'Pleasant
Pellets,' as you advised for congestion of
the uterus, and for weakness, and can
safely say that your medicine has been
the means of restoring ine to good health
again, which I lmd not had for over three
years, until taking your medicine. I
thank you for your kind and prompt at
tention to my letter asking advice."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
meets the needs of women at every t>e
riod of life. It is invaluable ill that
transition period when the K' r ' becomes
a woman, establishing regularity and pro
moting the general health. It dries of
fenslve and enfeebling drains, heals in
flammation and ulceration and
ffiimle weakness. From the time of the
fir it change (runt girlhood to womanhood
until thr lust change of life, in all the
weakness of womanhood and trial* of
motherhood Dr. l'lcrce's Favorite Pre
scription is a true woman's friend. It
makes women strong anil well.
« It in o pleasure lor me to recommend
your medicine, ' Favorite Prescription'
and 'Golden Medical Discovery,' " writes
Mrs. Rhoda Russell, of Corbet, Navarro
Co., Texas. "I had suffered for years
with a disagreeable drain and other fe
male troubles, but now, thanks lo your
medicines, I am much lietter and your
medicines have done me more good than
ull else. I look nine bottles of ' Favor
ite Prescription' and nix of 'Golden
Medical Discovery,' Had It not l>een
for Dr. l'lcrce's medicines no doubt I
would have euflered continually the rest
of my life. I shall always praise thene
preparations. The cost of th* mis so lit
tlv compared with the good 1 felt, yet I
owe you lor what yott have done for me."

give bodily strength and mental cheer?
fulness, it will banish that feeling (rf
fear and apprehension which ao
women suffer from at this time. It will
encourage the appetite, induce refresh*
Ing sleep, and make the baby's advent
practically painleu.
"I was pleated that Dr. Pierce an
swered my letter," writes Mrs. C. w.
Young, of 21 South Regent Street (Let
Park), Wllkesbarre, Penna. "I had
several mishaps before my husband peft
auaded me to take your medicine. vLf
back used to almost break when at won
and I would get alck at my stomach and
have auch headaches I did net know
what to do; they used to set me nearly
crazy, and I used to dread to get up, I
felt so bad. Then I began taking yonf
medicine. When baby was expected I
took it all the time I was that way. I
felt fine all the time and t never get
those dlxry spells now. I hardly evtf
have a nervous headache any more. I
have a perfect romp of a boy; he Is thy
light of our home. I am now twenty
years old and my baby is almest eifflft
months old. 1 feel well, and weigh !8o
pounds, and the baby aj# pounds. Wi
feel very grateful for the good your med?
iclae did for us. We are both hearty
thanka to Dr. Pierce's medicine."
FOR BABY'S SAJCK .
the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrifl.
lion is advised for all expectant mothert.
It not only helps the mother but helps
the Child. All the child's strength must
come from the mother. " Favorite Pre
scription " gives the mother strength to
give her child.
There is no alcohol in " Favorite Pre
