The smallest newspaper in the world
is published at Guadalajara, In Mexico.
Its title Is Ell TELEGRAPH, and under
meath is the announcement that the pa
per is an independent weekly periodical
of politics and varied news. The month.
ly subscription is two-pence-weekly, q
halfpenny. If Is printed in eight col.
umns, each four and half inches long
and one and a half inches wide, on
thick MANILA paper. And yet the staff

printer. Among newspapers this tiny
Sunday Journal certainly occupies a
unique position.

The child fairly drinks in healt
robust constitution before birth,
mothers milk after.
Is not that an incentive to pre-
maternity?
Do you know the meaning OF what
is popularity called those "long-
ings," or cravings. which beset so
many women during pregnancy?
There is something lacking in the
mothers blood. Nature cries out
and will be satisfied at all hazards.
One woman wants sour things,
another wants sweets, another
wants salt things, and SO on.
The real need all the time is to
enrich the blood so as to supply
nourishment for another life, and
to build up the entire generative
system, so that the birth may be
possible and successful.

lana at the top of the list for 1896
lynchings, which is an infamous
Islander. The Baton Rouge Advo-
cate says that lynchings are not I'M
known in Louisiana, but thank
heaven. we have been so far spared
the brutal anu depraved crimes that
are committed in cold blood almost
every night under the shadow OF the
paper that printed this infamous
assault upon the good name OF o
noble and generous people. Rapists
in Louisiana are very properly
lynched, but we have never yet pro-
duced anything that in point OF In
human depravity will come up any
where near the Holmes case in Chica.

of her Haymarket affairs, her Cronlr

then her papers may be in a position
to lecture Louisiana about lynchins
rapists, but even then she will not b.
permitted With IMMUNITY to wan

Their labor alone is worth money.
Stimulate every legitimate enterprise
by giving it ali the friendly aid 10 your

of breaking down, help him up. Ii ne
