It Is mothers duty to crown her child
with that greatest blessing any human being
can possess good health. This she can
only do BY taking proper care of herself
prior to the childs birth, and especially
during the period Of CESSATION Too few
women realize the importance Of their own
health. Too few understand that the health
Of their children is dependent upon the
vigor and health of the organs Of reproduc-
ton. A woman who is to become mother
owes 1t to her offspring to take thought of
the most important and delicate organs Of
her body.
Every woman may be strong and healthy

Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Soc. and $1.0O per bottle at

SENSATIONAL COURT SCENE

Rev. }. q. Hull, Charged with Murder, Con.
froDted with Letter.
ST PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 20. The case
against Rev. James c. Hull, accused oil
attempted wife poisoning, came to a
sensational end In the district court
yesterday. Hull had been on the wit
ness stand several hours, and had en-
tered a categorical denial to all states
evidence in regard to the administer
ing by him OF arsenic mixed with med
icine his wife was taking. Then the
state sprung surprise in the shape Of
a letter which Hull had written while
in Portland, Ore, last February, to
Rev. |. L. Spence, an intimate friend.
In this letter he stated his wife was
very sick; that she was suffering from
cancer, and he thought she
would not live through the year.
he also stated that an operation
had been performed for The
removal Of the cancer, ut that 1t had
broken out again. The evidence of
the states witnesses and Hull's own
admissions, in his previous testimony,
showed that there had been no talk OF
cancer for year previous to the
date OF the letter, and that the sprgi-
cal operation had simply been the
dressing Of slight liberation. The
state claimed that the letter placed in
evidence was written with the inten-
ton of preparing his friends for the
death of his wife, and to provide a
plausible cause therefor. At the open.
ing of the afternoon session Hull's at
torney arose, and, addressing the
court stated that the last evidence
produced (the letter. was OF such
character as to remove all further
doubts as to his clients guilt, and that
upon his advice Hull had agreed to
his plea of not guilty and to
throw himself upon the mercy of the
court. He furtherstated that he now be-
lieved Hulls mind was unbalanced, and
asked the courts merciful consdera-
tion OF his plea, Hull then formally
his plea of not guilty, and
Judge Earan sentenced him to six
years in the saltwater penitentiary.
Hull had been pastor of the Clinton
Avenue M. Il church until about a
year ago, and at that time achieved
notoriety by charging
that the trustees of his church were
OF the A. P. A., and were
seeking his removal in order to get a
minister who was In sympathy with
hat organization.
