WOMAN'S NIGHTMARE.
She Shudders When She Realizes the
Danger and Pain of Child bearing.

There is SO much suffering and danger
In store for the young mother, that her
happy anticipation soon gives way to .
feeling Of dread at the thought OF the
pain which she must undergo. This
constant fear 30 preys upon the mind OF
many women that it fills them with ter.
TOR and makes baby's coming source
Of the greatest anxiety and dread.
All the suffering and danger Of the
ordeal can be avoided by the use
Of "Mother's Friend, ;" which prepares
the body for this important event. Il
relieves "morning Sickness" and many
other unpleasant conditions which ex.
ist during this time. Thousands OF
women praise Mothers Friend" for
bringing them safely through the most
critical period of their lives.
Every woman should send their name
eud address to the Bradfield Regulator
Co., Atlanta, Georgia, and receive free,
valuable information on the subject.

Mass Getting Favors Referring Stree
Railway Purchase to the People.

Mass Meeting Favors Referring Street
Railway Purchase to the People.
Detroit. March 29.-Municipal owner
ship of street railways had a noisy, ex-
citing and turbulent three-hour inning
in Light Gu2rd armory before an audi
ence of chizens which packed the big
structure. The occasion was free-for-
all debate between Governor Pingree
and his supporters, who contend for
proceeding with the, purchase Of De-
troit's street railways under the act
passed last week by the legislature, and
those who oppose actien by the city
council under the act, at least until
such action be further authorized by
vote of the citizens.
Governor Pingree explained his rea-
sons for pushing the measure. As to thu
referendum feature, which had been
eliminated by the legislature, he said
that, while he favored having the people
vote upon principles he did not favor
their voting upon matters of business
details. w. ID. Mahon president Of the
National Association of Street Railway,
Employees, several members of the legis-
lature and others argued in favor Of the
purchase; several leading attorneys and
others in opposition to 1t. H., ..--, \
Three resolutions were offered; one
commencing the course Of Governor
Pingree in his effort to secure Scent
fares and municipal ownership; favor
ing the purchase, and recommending
Governor Pingree as one Of the three
commissioners to have charge of the
