MANY Think!

when the Creator said to woman,
I'm sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the JOY felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering lurk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.

According to Charles Y. Knight. secre-
tary Of tho Illinois Dairy Union, war.
rants will be sworn out for the arrest OF
the dealers and manufacturers OF cOlored

law passed by the last Legislature. The
manufacturers will welcome the chance

case to the bitter end. nnd are In nOwise
dismaycd By the fact that the Supreme
Court has once passed ON q similar law

will b. raised In the prospective litigati

lawsuits move slowly and 1t Is probable
It will be year or more before the dis

firms will continue to make butterine and

special legislation, In the interest OF one

point Is that the bill was passed after mid
