many mothers forget that baby's strength
and health, its ability to Withstand the
usual ailments of childhood, and its yigor
and welfare, as a man or woman, are de-
pendent upon her own health and physical
condition during the period of prospective
maternity. If, during that critical time
she Is weak, sickly, nervous and despond-
ent, because of troubles peculiar to her
sex, these conditions are bound to have
their influence upon her baby's health
Neglect of these conditions invariably
means that baby will be weak, puny and
peevish. Dr Pierce's Fayorite Prescription
Is an unfailing cure for all troubles of this
nature, and II will reinforce a wonan's
bodily and nerve strength so that she can
safely undergo the trials of maternity. It
gives health, strength, vigor, elasticity and
endurance to the organs specially con-
cerned in motherhood It gives bodily.
and nervous hardihood to the child.

GENERAL SMITH WOUNDED.
Second Attempt to XIII the SoIdfers'
Home Governor


Santa Monica, CAL Sept 29-While
Gen A j. Smith. governor of the Pacific
branch of the National Soldiers Home,
near this place was on his way to head
quarters today, Albert G.. Bradley, who
has been an inmate OF the home for five
years came up to him and shot at him
five times. One shot took effect under
the right shoulder blade. one above the
right hip and one in the right arm. The
surgeons think the wounds are not ia
tai.
At times Bradley has acted strangely,
and ii was supposed that he was men,
tally unsound. He was arrested
Gen. Smith was in charge of the ma
tional home at Leavenworth for many
years. Early on the morning of June IL,
1897, his residence on the home grounds
at Leavenworth was wrecked by dyna-
mite The governor and his wife and
daughter We're in the house at the time,
but escaped with minor injuries. The
crime was traced TO Joseph w. Oliver, a
member of the home, and he was con-
yicted.
Gen. Smiths administration at the
Leavenworth home was marked by many
troubles. Later the management of the
home was investigated by a committee
from the House of Representatives. Many
charges We're preferred against the gov
ernor, and the investigation resulted in a
recommendation that he be removed
Then he was transferred to the COVER
norship Of the Pacific branch
The charges against Smith We're prin-
cipally mistreatment Of the old soldiers
IL was said that he confined men in the
insane wards OF the hospital without pre-
Eious examination by the surgeons; that
he maintained a cruel police system, and
that he forced men to take the gold treat
ment for drunkenness against their wills
Col Sidney Cook, OF Harrington, Kans.,
the local manager, testified that he had
ordered Gen Smith to discharge the bru-
tai police officers and to cease the custom
OF forcing the soldiers to take A cure for
drunkenness, but the order was not obey
ed.
Col Cook stated also that he had inves-
ugated complaints of pensioners that
their pensions had been withheld by order
OF the governor, against the law. By Col.
Cooks order this was discontinued.
Other charges against Smith were that
he had abused and insulted the officers
under him, had caused men in pay of the
Government to do chores about his house
to his own private use.
Before becoming governor of the Leav-
enworth Home Smith was for three years
treasurer of the National Soldiers Home
at Togas, Me. Charges preferred against
him there by the governor of that home
led to his transfer to Leavenworth-
