The football victory of Columbia
over Yale, Saturday, was almost as
big an event in the sporting world as the
yachting victory Of the Columbia over
the Shamrock. 1t is the first time in
history that any college except Har-
ward and Princeton has had the audac
ity to defeat Yale and they only occa-
sionally. Just q years ago, before
most of the players in Saturdays game

The baby's coming is often looked for
ward to as a time of dread and danger.
Many women are physically unfit to be-
come mothers. They are sick and weak

in a womanly way and may we'll look
with fear toward the time of maternity.
Intelligent preparation for this time IS
most essential. An athlete trains for
months before his trial. Most women
do not train " at all and yet their trial
is to be fifty times as severe as the
athletes.
During the period of CESSATION every
woman should use every means to
strengthen the organs that are to be
tried. They should be kept in perfect
health The faintest symptom of dis
order or disease should be promptly
eliminated.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
designed to do this very thing-has been
doing it for over thirty years. 1t is the
one sure medicine for all female COM
plants, 1t IS the only medicine that
may be absolutely depended upon to
practically abolish the pain and danger
of childbirth. 1t is the only preparation
of its kind that is the invention Of a reg
