Suffered with soreness in my right hip and every month would have spells and have to stay in bed. I have taken eight bottles of your 'Favorite Prescription' and one vial of your 'Pleasant Pellets'. Can now do my work for six in family, and feel like a new woman. I think it is the best medicine in the world for women. I recommend it to all my friends and many of them have been greatly benefited by it. Dr. PIERCE'S PLEASANT PELLETS 'Relieve Liver Ills! .a wide spread feeling of indignation at the proceeding. It is held, and justly too, that the judge being a cit- izen of Montana, fully identified with its interests and progress, and with- al an able jurist and a conscientious and upright judge, should not be re- moved to make room for any under- strappers - or pets of the administra- tion, or to gratify the spleen of those whose toes he may have stepped up- on and whose selfish purposes have been thwarted in a measure by his impartial administration of justice. Just what thenature or the allega- tions which have been made to ob- tain this action of the chief execu- tive is, has not been \ made public. The antagonists of Judge Blake have been too discreet to charge him in ilcionten e e where his integrity and cap. ability are very well known, with either dereliction of duty or inability or unfitness to hold the high office which he lias.so acceptably filled for sifettely -- Ave years. Such a -course Would not have answered their pur- eese, and they were compelled to conduct a silent warfare upon him, in order to successfully accomplish Unlit ends . ,_ We do not believe the opposl= Con to his reappointment originated' in a desire for the improvement of the judicial service; we rather incline to the, opinion that the judge's impar- tiality in administering the law and the kilowledge he has acquired by many years of residence and experi- ence in the territory, were considered dangerous txr - the - success of- certain rings whose operations have been no- torious for many years, and have been in a measure checked by the close scrutiny kept Upon them during his NATIONS OF FAR EAST TO EXHIBIT IN 1915.

We know that, on more than one occasion, the Indian and other rings have felt the weight of his judicial - hand, and he has incurred its hatred on that ac- count.

KITCHEN PROGRESS. The fact that a thing has always been once in a certain way -the mere precedent - limits originality and .halts progress. For example: In a recent iesue - of The - Survey - the -ques----- -- tion why .kitchen sink a have been made so low -was discussed. No one seemed able to explain. Finally a certain Jrnaker discovered that the original sinks were made When Ió 3vashing of dishes and °the:. sink work was dune in wooden tubs with high sides. Such a tub when used in a high sick came up too far, so the sink was made low. Further - mere, as running . water and fixed faucets had not long been made, the tub had to be lifted out of the sink. and - the lower the sink the lightet the lift. Though imProvem,ents in faucets, dish -pans and other accee- sories\of kitchen sinks have been made, no one has seemed to realize that the sink could be improved by raising. So women were -and are compelled to endure discomfort when doing their ordinary household work. There may be a certain percentage of inconvenience to be -reached before the human mind grasps the fact that something must be altered.
