The lost child, who presently finds his
way home in the policeman's protecting
arms, is hugged to his mother's heart
with a new joy. But the mother's heart
is empty as her arms when her children
are lost for life. How many a woman
goes through such an experience, ap-
pealing in vain for help
to local doctors, who con-
fess that they are "puz-
zled" to understand the
cause of the trouble.
In similar cases
Dr. Pierce's Favor-
ite Prescription has
been used with
such success that
i its record com-
mends it to every
woman whose chil-
dren fail of vital-
ity. " Favorite Prescrip-
tion " gives the mother
strength to give her
child. It strengthens
the female organism,
i giving great elasticity
to the organs of mater-
nity, and making the
baby's ad ventpracticall y
painless. It is the true
woman's medicine, es-
tablishing regularity, drying weakening
drains, and healing inflammation.
" I can cheerfully recommend Doctor^ Pierce's
Favorite Prescription as the l*st medicine for
women." write* Mrs. Mary Murdoclc, of 220
Taylor St.. Topeka. Kansas. I am the mother
of ten children and only one living—the tenth
one She is one year old and is as well and
hearty as can he. "she is a beauty. Of my other
babies. «ome were born at right time but dead,
others were premature birth*: one lived to be
one year old. but she was alwavs feeble. I tried
different doctors, but none of them could tell
what ray trouble was. They said I was well and
strong I wa« examined bv surgeons, but they
found nothing wrong, and they were puzzled to
know what my trouble was ' I did not know
what to do «o I thought this last time I would
try Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I took it
the entire nine months and now I have a fine
baby girl, and I cannot praise your medicine
enough for the good it did me."

Therefore. Be it resolved, that we.
the Texas Livestock asosciatlon in con-
vention assembled, condemn the ac-
tion taken in this matter by the hon-
orable secretary of agriculture, and we
believe it was his duty to have remain-

the dairy interests on one side and the
beef interests on the othfr. and we
respectfully ask that our representa-

Mr. Prvor spoke for a few minutes
on the resolution, stating among other
things that the secretary of agriculture,
as an official of the government, was
expected to represent the beef as well
as the dairy Interests of the United
States, and lie was of the opinion that
bis position in this matter was such
that the beef interests should not hesi-

resolution was adopted by a unanimous
vote.

"Never has this nation been more in
need than it is to-day of an earnest
and thorough revival of Jeffersonian
principles. While other statesmen ap-
pearing at the diff rent crises and
meeting the responsibilities of their re-
spective times have made partial ap-
plication of D^mecratic principles, Jef-
ferson is the only one who formulated
a Democratic code applicable at all
times, all situations uad all peoples.
' To be champion of the common peo-
ple, he was born among the aristocrats
and was a sintimately acquainted with
the members of the House of Have as
with those who struggled to meet by
daily work their daily wants.
"He was called a demagogue by his
enemies, and yet he ehxibited a moral
courage which cone of his detractors
have ever possessed, and in behalf of
a rightecus principle lie would oppose
the world. Two years before he wrote
the Declaration of Independence he
prepared a summary or review of the
rights of British America, which was
a bold repudiation of the authority
which Fngland claimed. That was not
the work of a demagogue. He at-
tacked the laws of primogeniture and
saved America from a landed aristoc-
racy—that, was not the work of a
demagogue.
"He organized the Democratic party,
and by the strength of his leadership
overthrew an opposit'on intrenched ih
power and bulwarked by the business
and social force.;.
"So successful was his administra-
tion that his re-election was practical-
ly unanimous, am! for years the execu-
tive chair was filled by men unto
whom he had ben a Gamaliel. At this

vote. Instead, however, he insisted
cpon a division of the resolution, and
after the first portion—to disagree—
had been adopted he made the point
of order that the second motion was
not in order, because the senate in Its
substitute had evaded the constitu-
tional prerogative of the house. The
result was that the members were not
confronted with the direct issue, and
