THE CITIZEN WILLIAM O. SKQLEY - - Publisher THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5. I9°»- SI.CO per year in Advaace, Otherwise sl-50. WASHINGTON NOTES. On Monday the Fifty seventh Con gress organized, with but little ex citement or feature of especial interest. The action of the Republican caucus on Saturday settled the position of the majority on the question of changing the rules, and although the Democrats made a perfunctory sort of an effort to have them amended, it was so apparent that it must fail that no one took it seriously. Representative Dalzell was the spokesman on the Republican side, while Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, led the Democracy The only striking feature of the debate was Mr. Richard son's effort to goad Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, who has championed the move ment for a change, into arraying him self against his jterty He reckoned without his host, however, for Mr. Hepburn came back at him with the statement, which could not be denied, that when he had tried to have the rales changed when the Democrats had the House, every member of that party, including Mr. Richarson himself, had voted solidly against it. Everything else, from the time Clerk Alexander McDowell called the House to order, including the election of Gen. Henderson asJspeaker and the drawing of seats, went through like clockwork. Rep. Showalter secured a seat in the fifth section, to the left of the Speaker. The assembling of the Senate was even less interesting than that of the House. There was a good attendance, however, and several new Senators were sworn in. Senators Quay and Penrose were present. In the forenoon the former was at the White House as .spokesman for the delegation of Cayuga Indians, a tribe which adhered to Great Britian during the Revolutionary war. and aftervards settled in Canada. Their descendants now want to come back to their old home in New York, and asked Senator Quay, who is re garded as the especial friend of the Indians, to prefer their request. Tlie President's Message. The first ''message" of President Roosevelt to Congress was read in both Houses, Tuesday. He begins by paying an eloquent and tender tribute to Presi dent McKinley; and urging the enact ment of stringent laws regarding an archy and anarchists: delares against tariff tinkering at present, and will favor reciprocity on safe lines only; points oat the dangers of immense com binations of capital, and favors enforc ing the publication of details; favois the re-enactment of the Chinese Ex clcsion law also the enlarg ment of the Navy and building of the Isthmian canal; thinks the Army large enough; talks abont the growth of the Postal service; the problem of the Philippines; commercial treaties, and altogether writes a very sensible and readable and interesting message.

I l The strong point of the old-fashioned training was the stress laid upon moral ity and virtue. "Be good and you'll be happy," was the common precept set before the growing child. But as the girl grew up to maidenhood she was often sorely puzzled to reconcile those past teachings with her present condi tion. She was good. Her soul was I Sure as the lillies of her garden. Her eart was undefiled. And yet she was desperatly unhappy by reason of physi cal ailments common to women. This was the weak side of old fashioned training: It ignored the I needs and requirements of the body. All its effort was to guide the heart and mind. The body might stumble along anyhow, and it generally did. Many a sweet-faced, modest-minded young girl has had her first doubts of the goodness of Providence couie in through the door of physical suffering. " Why must I suffer in this way ? " glie asks, " Why does my back ache, my head throb and my side pain, so that I am fain to creep away into a darkened room and forego the pleasures which belong to my season of life ? " *; NO ANSWER COMES as a rule to these questions. The young womaq looks around and sees scores of similar sufferers. She is told it is a part of the burden laid upon women, and she shapes her shoulders to her heavy load. Tnis is all a mistake. Proper train ing, proper physical care would many times prevent these miserable condi tions. But in any case, however dis tressing the present condition, it can be cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription, if it is a disease curable by medicine. "I write a few lines to thank you for your advice and grand remedies, to which I owe my health, and perhaps my life," says Miss Flora I. Greer, of 1107 Howe Street, Akron, Ohio. "My trouble started during my childhood, but did not prove serious until 1893, when I met with an accident caused by a horse running away. From that time I did not see a well day. I suffered at every monthly period with terrible headache, irritation of the spine and pains in my heels so I could not bear them resting on the softest pillow. What I suffered pen could never de scribe. I had soreness through my hips and ovaries all the time and con stant backache. Was afraid to be alone, imagined that every one hated me, and everything looked like a mountain. One doctor would tell me one thing ailed me, another would say something altogether different, but they only re lieved me. I then wrote you in April, I PROFESSIONAL CARDS. GM.

It sometimes happens that the dealer tempted by the little more profit paid by less successful preparations, will try to press a substitute upon the customer, claiming that "it is just as good q? Pierce's." It is well to remember at such a time, that the claims of superi ority made for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription do not rest on mere words, but upon cures. Thousands of weak women made strong and sick womeh made well testify to its superiority ov«r other put-up medicines for women. TUB BIBLE OF THE BODY, is a title which has been aptly applied to Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. In plain English it points . the way to womanly health and happi ness, and fully discusses and illuminates those great and grave questions which involve the well-being of women.
