FRUIT is CHEAP.
Cold Weather Keeps Pedlsrs Off the
Street and Stock Has to Be Sold.

! Trade has been excellent in the pro-
duce business during the past week.
The cold weather seems to have made
people exceptionally hungry and it
would appear from visit to the diff
ferent retail markets that some folks
were buying beyond their means. There
has been no marked change in the price
of commodities during the week ex-
oept in the case of eggs, which the cold
weather has made go up at an alarm
ing rate. 1t don't make very much
difference until Easter, and that is 40
| days off from Wednesday.
| Butter is strong at few points high
er than last week. Cheese remains
firm as long as it is fresh.
| Poultry in general and turkeys in
particular have gone up slightly, but
the raise does not affect the retail trade
to any extent. Other meats are cheap
| Beef is the same as it has been for a
week or two past, and lamb in the re-
| tail market has gone away down. Pork
Is still cheap, and will probably remain
SO for the rest of the season.
| The expected raise in the price of or
anges has come, but it is not as much
as was expected. Most Of the retailers
AdNC q supply OlA manu- W AliSSh Liz LII
mediate demand, and the next lot
bought will probably be not over rs
! cents higher on the box than last week
Bananas are very cheap. The cold
weather keeps the pedlers in, and hence
the dealers who have stores are able to
| get their stock at a. lower rate. Apples
4 remain Arm for the cooking variety
but the better quality is very high and
scarce. Other foreign fruits are firm
| and the demand comparatively small.
Strawberries are about the same in
price and supply as they were last
week. There is not much demand for
the early shipments, though the deal
ers have had no trouble in getting rid
of the supply on hand at good
price.
Vegetables are firm at the prices Of
| last week. The only new corners on
the market are caulifower and egg
plant. The price on these two is reason
able, considering the early season, and
the quality is good.
The present season has been excep-
tionally good in the produce business
Sales have been larger than formerly
and the prices have held firm on most
eatables, longer than has been CUSTOM
ary after Christmas. Wholesale men
report prospects for a good supply of
early Florida fruits and vegetables, and

THE FIRST BABY.
2ka Coming is Looked Forward TO
With Both Joy and Fear and it's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness In store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use Of "Mother's Friend"--a scien-
tific lininent--for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
80 prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es.
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such a remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing OF the dam
ger, which is in store for them. Moth.
