A healthx baby i< the real jewel for which
the wedding ring is only the setting.
There is no place in Nature's economy for
a childless marriage. Wedded couples that
are childless an never truly married. A
baby is the tie that binds. The baby is the
pledge that makes husband and wife one in
nature and in fact, and that teaches mutual
self sacrilice and sympathy. Thousands of
couples are childless beeaiise of the wife's
II gleet of her health as a woman. Too few
women fully appreciate the importance of
keeping healthy and vigorous the organs
upon which motherhood is dependent As
a consequence, they an- weak where they
should be 5t,,,-ig. and motln ihood is cither
an impo- ibilitv or a torturesome and daV-.
gerous ordeal. This is easily remedied.

“Is there a man in all the eu

BP.ITISH ENOROACHMENT.
That this is the age of the Reign
of Wealth finds new illustration in
the report in El Mundo, the Gov
erment paper of Mexico, that a
Loudon company, headed by the
Rothschilds, has concluded an ar
rangement with the Mexican Gov
erment for 2b years, whereby the
company practically will own and
operate Mexico for that length of
time.
The company will plant 1 000,-
000 colonists, at SIOJ per family,
wilt pay the goverment dept of
$110,000,00: and, in return, will
receive all the public lands of
Mexico, and one-third of the na
tional revenue.
It is a very good bargain for the
company and a very bad bargain
for Mexico, says the
Post.
But the worst feature of the
scheme in the eyes of loyal Amer
cans must te the fact it is a cun
ning evasion of the Monroe doc
trine. Practically it will mciose
the United States within Great
Great Britian. Already Great Brit -
ain rules along our northern, east
ern, western and part of our south
ern boundary. This plan woudld
make the investment total.
It should be remembered always
that Great Britian claims sover
eignity of weak nations in debt to
British capitalists and iu default.
It is on this plea that Great Brit
ain is in Egypt as real sovereign of
that country.
Great Britain is not a good
neighbor, and never was. Great
Britain is a land robber and a
domineering encroacher, whose
practical maxium is that might
makes right. She always .pretends
a philanthropic motive. It is true
'hat she loves mankind, but she
loves mankind as a wolf loves
sheep.
