FACTS ABOUT MOTHERHOOD. By MARGARET L. BRIGGS. * ' < (AI.L RIGHTS RESERVED.) " The experience of Motherhood is a trvlng one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their live#. Not one woman In a hundred Is prepared for moth erhood or understands how to take car© of herself. Of course nearly every wo man nowaday* has proper medical treatment at. time of child-birth, but she ap proaches the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when the strain Is over her system has re eived a shock from which It rarely ful.y recover* Following right upon this come* the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more chmitv Ing than a happy and healthy mother of chidren, and Indeed child-birth under right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidences of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, women will persist In go.ng blindly to the trial without getting ready to stand the strain. It isn’t as though the experience cam* upon them unawares. They have ample tlm© In which to prepare, but they, for the most port, trust to chance and pay th© penalty. When a woman realize* that she Is to be om* a mother, the surest way to get ready for the experience Is to write to Mr*. Binkhanw Lynn. M is*., and tell tier all about her condition. She will get advice from Mrs. Pinkharo that costs noth ing nnd that will surely help her. It will tell Just exactly what to do. and. if fol lowed. wi’.l ensure exemption from **• ver- .-ho k, and In many case* make the expe rience nearly painless. These statem nt* are absolute frets, and are vouched for by a great many women who have relit*! on Mrs. IMnkham at this critical time. There I* no woman so healthy that at the approach of this unusual strain their reproductive system does not need strengthening in every* possible way. and for this purpose there Is nothing In the world effective a* Lydia K Pink ham s \ eg etable Compound No woman ever telie upon ll In vain, and no wrom.in who ha* this trial of strength to paa* through can afford to neg.e t any reasonable precau tion. Her duty to herself, to her husband and to her child demands that ahe pre pare herself In every way. In mmy homea there Is the lone'ln©** of childless wedlock, nearly always re sulting from some derangement of the generative system in the mother. It Is not actual barrenness, but It amounts to that because there 1* no child. In such roars Lydia K. Plnkbmi's Vegetable Compound will almost always strengthen and help the mother and make her capable of bearing children. There is nothing mysteri ous in this. Mrs. Plnkham's medicines m.iko women healthy and strong and vig orous and it prepares ihe feminine organism for natural duties. Letters from women who hive been helped through child-birth, who have re cuperated quickly from the strain, and from others who have experienced tha Joy of motherhood, which they thought was denied them, are constantly being printed In this paper. These results were brought about by Lydia EL Ilnkham's Vegetable Compound, the surest remedy for nil distinctly feminine Ills, the medicine that thousands of women publicly praise. flung h!ms©lf oarer th© gulf, ©aught th** rock with hi* flngen* and with ©©rlaln death If he missed hi© hold.

In Germany the government, agya the Washington Evening Star, lakes a hand In the aervant girl problem, as It dons In almost everything else, and It has suc ceeded In partially solving at legal one phase of the difficulty.

"Is there i moral question involved In playing card* for money, whether the flakes nr#* tar** or nm.ill?"

Not ns far as concerns themselves, not, per haps, their immediate families, but on ac count of the Influence which every one exercises, more or lea*, on general socie ty. With the wave of newly awakened**! enthusiasm for cards which has recently swept over fashionable circles, there has developed a rampant spirit of gambling, which has Infected women and even chil dren. and sum* are now lost and won at card parties of yotmjr people.

"It is so hnrd to refuse to take a band wlv n you nr*- needed to make up a four at a country house." explained a boy of K, who. to his mother's consternation, confessed he had "dropped" flflh whke off on a visit.

"Although If you lose, I do not see where the money Is to come from, as what with your clothes and traveling expenses I have used up everything your father gave me for you. and I don’t think he would be over and above pleased to puy your gambling debts?" "Why. they gamble even In the nurs ery!” exclaimed a matron, who had been discussing this latest social problem "I was taking tea with Mrs Ultra the • . her afternoon and the children came In.
