THE FIRST BABY.
ITS Coming is Looked Forward to
With Beth Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight By All.

The arrival of tho first baby in tho
household is the happicst and most i'm
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when tho little one shall nestle upon her
breast and lGtterly 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 tho little ono into
the world. An indescribable fear Of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipntes her joyfulncss.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that therc is absolutely
no necessity for the suffcrings which ut
tend childbirth; they know that by
the uso Of "Mothcr's Fricnd''-a scien-
tiiic linirlent-for Il few weeks before
the trying hour, exrcctant mothers can
hour that the pain end suffering of tho
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women Gre interested, and es.
pecially cxpcct0nt mothers who for tho
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth.
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles.
sing, for it takes her safely through tho
severest ordeal Of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read tho little book
"Refore Haby is Rorn," which contaiIls

Social Life in Newspapers.

The News and Courier remarks that
no St. Cecilia ball in Charleston has
been written up for newspaper
since 1913. This iscan error. Sever.
al Of the balls were written up" for

and there was social earthquake in
consequence. That is curious story.
The committee of the society cxamin-
ed the membership one by one ON

mystery until accident discovered it.
y man who had once, long time
ago, been brilliant and familiar fig
urc at The balls returned to Charles
ton after many wandcrings and strug-
giles with the liquors Of many cities,
having lost ali man should value,
except his thirst. He took refuge in
the garrct Of al old friend and lu,kcd
there many months, his presence un
known to any but the family. The
ladies' Of this family, returning from
the balls, talked, as girls will, over
the people who were there and how
thoy looked aud what they wore. The
man from the garnet remembered il AL
and with the help of servant secret :
ly forwarded to New York the only
/ account OF st. Cecilia balls printed in
more than century. and received his
checks. There was in him enough of
the memory Of what he had been Ia
make him ashamed Of his work and he
carefully covered Ais crime against
the traditions of the people who shell
tered him.
| We sympathizc cordially with the
repugnancc of the St. Cecilia to TIC
parade Of It's balls in the newspapers
The theory is that the people who at
tend go to entertain and give pleasure
to each other, not to advertise them
selves to the general public. In oul
view social life is deprived of its
sweetest charm by newspaper notoric
/ ty. The general public has no righ,
to know the details of what goes OF
within mans own house or among
friends who gather to enjoy thcmscl,e c:
with each other. The purpose of so
cial functions should be pleasure
when they are put in the newspapers
the purpose becomes parade, and it is
all vulgarized and made cheap and
boastful. The real pleasure is spoil
ed. We would as lief have a general
mob let into Il private house or urged
to social gathering as to have either
displayed for miscellaneous pcrusa
the morning after. May it be another
century before ST. Cecilia is again
written up. GyrcnriUc NcwS.

1t Doesn't Pay to he cnpturea.

1t will doubtless surprise most peo-
pie to learn that any soldier of the
British army who is captured by the
enemy gets his pay stopped ut once.
Therefore the 1000 English warriors
who are now playing football inside
the race track at Pretoria are in no
sense Of the word wage earners. 4

tions allows IN investigation to be
made after q soldier has recovered his

Dangers Of rl1um,nat,ne Gas.

escape unnoticed.
of the bad practice of turning down a
gas flame, particularly In n bedroom.
This is always i'll advised. for such q
turned down flame may be either blown
out by draft Of air from IN open win
dow. or else it may be extinguished by
n sudden variation or reduction in the
pressure. When this happens in a
small bedroom without ventilation,
there Is great danger Of asphyxiation.
particularly SO If water gas is used.
Much can be done to avert this danger
by proper arrangement Of the gas
piping In houses.
Ahother dangerous custom Is to shut
off the gas at the main service or Mt

numerous accidents. some Of them fa-
