LOS ANGELES, May 13 The Methodist Meth-odist general conference can now be said to be fairly launched upon tho work of legislating In the Interests In-terests of the church at large.

One was the rather delicate duty of the episcopacy committee In fixing the status and relationship of superannuated superan-nuated bishops to the church, and the other a rulo reported by the board of church extension and adopted by the conference depriving certain congregations congrega-tions owning churches costing more than $10,000 of the right to apply to that board for financial asslstanco. Theso two matters, together with tho completion of the rules of order, exhausted ex-hausted the entire session. The special order of the day was tho report of Missionary Bishop Frank W. Warno of India, but upon the request of Dr. J. M. Buckley, chairman of tho committee on oplscopacy, the rules were suspended In order to permit consideration consid-eration of tho two matters abovo mentioned, men-tioned, and Bishop Warne's report was mado the special order for 9 o'clock tomorrow. to-morrow. Dr. Buckley's report on superannuated superan-nuated bishops occasioned the most animated and Interesting discussion thus far developed In the general conference. con-ference. It brought to the fore some of the dominant figures of the conference confer-ence and the delegates wero entertained enter-tained by the clear reasoning and eloquent elo-quent expressions of some of Its best orators. The paragraph fixing tho status of the superannuated bishops which was finally adopted reads as follows: "A superannuated general superintendent superin-tendent Is relieved from tho obligation to travel through the connection at large, and may choOBe the place of his residence.

It is much easlcT for a woman to confide j In tbe average man than in the average woman. She knows that the man will respect re-spect her confidences and keep them to himself He is strong-, has more experience of the world and can help the woman who needs advice. There is every reason why women should not trust their delicate constitutions in the hands of unskilled persons. It requires a thorough medical education to appreciate and understand the womanly organism. Whcu a woman has ills aud pains that she cannot bear when life seems dark for every woman, she should confide her troubles to a physician of standing in the community, or one who has a national reputation. Cer- ( tainly it would not be the part of wisdom to confide in an ignorant person without 1 medical education simply because she was J a woman. There is every reason why she should write to some great specialist, one who ha9 made tho diseases of women a specialty for a third of a century, like Dr. R. V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. All his correspondence is held sacredly confidential, con-fidential, and he gives his advice free and without charge. So uniformly successful has Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription proven in all forms of Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb, and Leucorrhca, that, after curing the worst cases of these distressing and debilitating' ailments, Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in cash for any case of these diseases which he cannot cure. Dr. Picrce'e Pleasant Pellets should be used with "Favorite Prescription" whenever when-ever a laxative is required. i |
