A childless home is a cheerless
home. The maternal instinct ex
ists in every woman, and when it
is ungratified fshe is deprived of
much of the happiness of life. It
often happens that childlessness is
due to some cause which can be
removed, and often is removed by
the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. The vigor and vi
tality which this remedy imparts to
the delicate womanly organs, puts
them in a condition of normal
health, the lack of which is often
the sole obstruction to maternity.
Every woman should read Dr.

Baling of Cotton Hulls-
Macon Telegraph.
Senator Tom Swift of the Thir
tieth was in Atlanta today doing a
little Christmas flopping. Sen
ator Swift is much pleased over
the fact that he succeeded in hav
ing passed a bill providing that in
baling cotton seed hulls the exact
weight of each bale must be placed
on the package so that purchasers
can tell what they are getting for
their money. He says that this
law will be a great protection to
the purchasers of cotton seed hulls,
and that the seller should not ob
ject to marking the weight on each
bale. Senator Swift says that
when cotton seed hulls were first
put up in bales each bale was made
to weigh 100 pounds, and that pur
chasers accepted them as such
without questioning the weight.
Later on, he says the mill men
have been gradually decreasing the
weight per bale and selling tifm
upon the basis of 100 pounds to
the package, where as a matter of
fact in many instances a bale th: t
did not weigh over sixty pounds
would be sold for 100 pounds, the
loss in weight being considerable
when sales were made in large
quantities. He says that all of
this sort of business will now come
to an end, and that purchasers will
in every instance get full weight.
Senator Swift says he does not
care what size bales one sold so
long as the weight of the bale is
marked on each package. This
will insure square dealing between
the manufacturer and the con
sumer.
