The child's health depends almost
wholly on the mothers, not only before
its birth but afterwards. A sick mother
can't properly care for her child's health
A sick mother sometimes bears healthy
child, but it isn't to be expected. Maybe
the baby will possess the appearance of
health, but will lack stamina. Maybe
innate weakness will develop in after
years.
Every woman should be particularly
careful of her health during the period
of gestation--when the child is really a
part of herself.
During all this time, she should keep
her body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her time
of labor. For this purpose Dr. PIERCE

A TRIP WESTWARD

There Is perhaps, no section of the
country for which nature has done
more IN the line of prodnctiveness
thar 1t has for the portions of the
states traversed by the G. B. & Q.
Nature has been we'll supplemented
by the industry of man and the coun-
try has become an agricultural para
disc. The broad stretches of fertile
lands have smiled ia rich harvests
| and have added more than usual this
year TO the wealth Of the nation. 1t
Is the garden If the world. The IN
broken monotony of plain is relieved
by the prolific manificence Of the soil
and the evidences ofprosperity which
abound
The Burlington Route" is well
worthy the country to whose CONNER
cal needs 1t ministers. Its roadbed
Is as firm as if hewn out of rock and
| It's track SO level that one is conscious
| OF no movement but an onward one.
Its boast of making time" is well
maintained and it is justly considered
one OF the best equipped and best
| managed roads in the world.
Omaha was few years ago a from
tier town. 1t is now great metropo-
lis, having tributary to it a country of
rare fertility. 1t seems to be one of
the gateways of the great west and to
be one Of the points through which
the line that fixes the limit of the east
is drawn. Though it has attained
great prosperity it has by no means
pressed upon its possibilities which
| are great 1t is lin touch with its en-
vlronments that it readily esronds
to conditions affecting them. At pres
ent 1t feels the depression which is
general in the west but, happily, only
temporary
There IS no merging of plain into
mountain as the Rockies are approach
ed. The transition is abrupt and the
mountains loom i'll the distance with
out intervention OF broken country.
The city of Denver is the gem of this
border land. "Lovliest city Of the
plains" 1t IS mountain bred in its elias
tic spirit and boundless hospitality.
One feels there the quick pulsation of
buoyant life, the hopefulness which
springs from contact with an energetic
people. The chaplet of clouds which
the surrounding mountains wear.
sheds glory on this young giant of
the west and adds to the exaltation
which the pure air gives. Denver is
a great city, but greater in prospect
1t does not cling to the mantle of sill
yer, nor does it feel that all is lost
with the degradation Of this metal.
1t has other and greater resources to
which it turns with the full confidence
OF people who are determined to
command the situation and not be
creatures Of it. While some cities of
the west refuse to be comforted and
have hung their harps On the willows,
the industrial hand of Denver has not
relaxed and the will is there to carve
out fortune on the many lines acces-
sible to it.

IF it be true as stated 10y Howard and
Dabs, that Hopkins advised the strike Of
the American Railway Union, some steps
should lie aken to punish him. A MAYOR
of a great city like Chicago should be a
maa above prejudice But when he sinks
10 the level OF being a promoter ofstrikes
lie becomes a dangerous character.
The strike Of 1894 was serious one.
It worked disaster to the general inter,
eats of the country and Its effects upon
labor are still felt. The leaders, ali save
Hopkins, have suffered or are undergoing
punishment. It has cast discredit upon
strikes which are frequently the only
means labor can employ to right its
wrongs. Hopkins was lsrgely responsible
for all this while escaping all unpleasant
consequences to himself.
