This unfortunate state of affairs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the
period OF expectant motherhood, taken the
right care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible. A woman should al
ways keep these important organs we'll and
strong. Her own health and that of her
child depend upon it.

ers is DR.. Pierce's Favoritc Prescription II

LOS An6elcSt u uHc Aooss
The large increase in the number OF sui
cides within the past ten years has at
tracted the attention of sociologists. The
life insurance system. or rather the man
ner in which 1t is applied. has been regard
cd by some Of the life insurance fraternity
q a probable factor, to some extent, In
producing the lamentable epidemic OF sui
eide, which has grown into alarming pro-
portions and as yet shows no signs or
abatement The omission OF the suicide
clause from the life insurance policy Is
charged with lending encouragement to the
act of self-murder, In cooperation with
other motives impeliing to the same dread
full deed. Apparently there is much
weight In the common argument on this
point, says the Insurance Critic When by
the conditions inserted in the policy the In
surance Is absolutely nullified by the bullet
shot into the brain with deadly intent or
by any other means of self-destruction.
there Is in this a reason against laying
violent hands upon the citadel of life. The
insured Is, In effect, placed under bonds not
to kill himself Most of the life insurance
companies have considered It necessary,
or at least advisable. to set up this barrier
and warning against suicide. One leading
company. however, has never made use Of
the suicide clause, but has proceeded on
the principle that the innate love of life
and dread of death form SUFFICIENT re-
straint from seh-slaughter. Some other
companies may have pursued the same
course. 1t is true also that many compa-
nies have considerably relaxed their orig
inally stringent conditions and shortened
the time during which the suicide clause
continues operative. The researches of
Actuary Marsh of the Mutual Life Of New
York show that In the experience Of that
company suicide among the insured oc-
ours chiefly after the expiration of the
prohibitive period. Yet he hardly ventures
to predicate cause and effect In the matter,
but says that larger data are required for
the elucidation Of so large q question.
When policies are liberalized as to the
suicide clause, or in other respects, the
object, Of course, Is to attract business.
The motive Is legitimate. and In being in
fluenced by 1t the companies have surely
no desire to promote suicide among their
members. In such a matter good morals
would hold them back from being acces-
sories before the fact. Life insurance man.
ayers must be regarded as believing that
as a rule the omission or liberal modifica-
tion Of the suicide clause does not lead to
the act Of self-immolation. That there are
exceptions is sufficiently obvious. Whether
these exceptions are numerous enough to
invalidate the rule may be an open ques-
tion.

Southern California

Following is the United Stats depart
ment of agriculture climate and crop bull
letin of the weather bureau for Southern
California for the week ending Monday
June IA, 1897:
Generally cool, cloudy nights and foggy
mornings prevailed in the coast sections
while in the interior the weather was fair
and warm. The cool, damp nights were
favorable to corn, root crops and beans,
which latter are showing up in excellent
shape. Harvesting and hay baling is in
progress: citrus and deciduous orchards
are looking we'll, and irrigating continues
with more moisture in the soil than at the
same time last season. Small oranges are
dropping to some extent as the trees are
too heavily loaded. Apricots are ripening
gardens are looking WE'LL green corn and
other early vegetables are ripe.

ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, June 15.-The upward pro-
gress Of prices was brought to halt dur
ing the progress of trading today on the
stock exchange and earlier gains were
wiped out, leaving some important stocks
below last nights close. There was no
very obvious reason for the reaction be-
yond the general principle that reaction
is always bound to come after advance.
The long continued steadiness and firm
ness of the market have inclined the pro-
fessional traders to count rather more con-
ffdently upon reaction, on thep rinciple that
the longer it is delayed the greater the re-
naming certainty that 1t will come. This
element worked for the reaction by trading
special stocks and helped to influence the
more cautious to take profits under a
feeling not to overdo good fortune While
prices were at times very materially
above last nights close, the later recess
sions brought prices of the majority of
stocks back to slightly above or below
last nights. The prevailing dullness in
the London market owing to the jubilee
festivities had its effect on this market,
arbitrage operations being much restrict
ed. Perhaps this fact lessened the effect
