The legislature is asked to adopt a
uniform system of support for the in
stitutions; the board recommends that
all be supported by general state tax,
but is willing to have all placed on the
county support basis. At present the
penal institutions are supported by
general taxation, and the insane hos
pitfalls are supported by the counties at
a certain rate per inmate. The board
asks the Legislature to transform one
of the state prisons into reformatory
for young criminals and first offenders,
making the other penitentiary. The
establishment of an epileptic colony
on the plan of Craig colony is urged.
A law is asked placing the supervision
of all county and private asylums for
insane under control of the board. A
report is made on nineteen such inSti-
tutions visited by the board recently
in which criminal methods are carried
on. Relative to industries in the state
institutions the board does not make
of industries on state account, but
discusses several, including the making
of Irvine, which might be proftably
established. 1t endorses the contract
piece price plan for the employment Of
the convicts of the penitentiaries, and
recommends a sewing plant for the

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood is the
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.

OccGslon OF MUCH Anxiety TO all.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward To baby's coming gives way TO an
Understandable dread Of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which Will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remedy which insures to them inn
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental To child-bearing.
Such q remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. Mothers Friend"-is a
scientific liniment-and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
"Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price,
less value proven by the experience of
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need Mothers Friend ," The
