MOTHER;S
FRIEND

Is the one and the only preparation
that is safe to use. 1t is a liniment
that penetrates from the outside.
External applications are eternally
right. Internal medicines are radi-
cally wrong. They are more than
humbugs-they endanger life.
Mothers Friend helps the muscles
to relax and expand naturally-re-
lieves morning sickness-removes
the cause of nervousness and head
ache prevents hard and rising
breasts-shortens labor and lessons
the pains-and helps the patient to
rapid recovery.
From letter by Shreveport, La,
woman: Il have been using your
wonderful remedy, Mothers Friend,
tor the last two months, and find it
just as recommended.

Be Careful

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-
tore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily. or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

Language of the World.

A hundred years ago French was the
most widely spoken of European
tongues. But its lead was a precarious
one, for Russia ran 1t hard with her
difficult speech, and Germany had but
some 100000 users less than Russia,
says n London newspaper. More than
30,000,000 employ the tongue of the
Teuton, the patrons of Russia fall just
short of 31,0O0,000 and the supporters
of French only passed that number by
a bare 100000. Spanish, at the begin
ming of the nineteenth century, was in
2G,000,00O mouths, of which more than
half were outside Spain itself. Spanish
was then, indeed, the paramount colon
ial language. Sixteen millions of nom
Europeans spoke ii: only beggarly
1,250,O00 made use of French.
English-our crisp, eloquent, familiar
mother tongue-was the dark horse of
the pathological stable. Fourteen mill
ions spoke 1t in Europe, 100000 and
odd in the States and 100000 elsewhere.
Amazing fact!-a hundred years since
but 20,000,0O0 employed the tongue of
Shakespeare! OF those who spoke seven
Important European languages-16,-
10000 in all-one-sixteenth alone used
English.
And to-day? English has leaped from
twenty to six times twenty, from she
fifth place among European tongues to
the first.

A Jockey on Riding.

If you ride with your head down,
that is to say, bent slightly, SO that the
wind does not beat right ON to your
face, you can breathe easily, but IL you
hold you: mouth wide open and let
the air heat right in your face, then
you will have great difficulty in breath
ing, and If the race is long one you
will become exhausted by the end of
the ride. If you want to know how 1t
feels to go through the air at race
horse speed, just hang your head out
of a railway carriage window, turning
Your face toward the way the train is
travelling. AT the same time imagine
that you are sitting In n saddle and
have to hold on to your horse and
guide him on to victory, If possible.
Keeping him from being run down or
interfered with. 1T is no easy task to
ride horse in race. The jockey
must have all his wits about him. He
does not have much time to think how
lie feels. When riding in neck-and.
neck race down the home stretch 1
forget everything except that must
strain every nerve to pass the other
horse; no thought is then given to the
plaudits from the grand stand.

HER LITTLE MASQUERADE.

o-~~~-~>~--~o~
\ ELLIE stood at the telephon,

EJ@ Her brow was puckered into a
frown, although she said, sweet
~ enough, Yes, papa, shall be de-
lighted
But you don't look delighted in the
least" said Irene, who was watching
her from the cushioned window seat.
And my countenance speaks the
truth. Papa telephones that he has in
vlted two guests to dinner tonight; Mr..
Fairfax, of Richmond, who has come
to the city with his friend. DR.. Some
body-1 did not catch his name-pre-
sumably from the same place. Papa
always expects his visitors to be joy
fully received, therefore pretend to
be pleased
But why do you seem worried? This
is not a tragedy, surely"
Because they will be here In less
Than two hours and Katy left this after
noon. The Fairfax family live like
princes, SO mamma used to say, and l
don't know what this member will
think when Gusta spills the wine and
upsets half the dishes, as she will be
sure to do il ask her to come from
The kitchen to wait at table,
Cant you explain the situation?'
Eyes, but l hate such explanations.
You see his cousin is nv friend and she
has told him great deal about my
housekeeping and how well have man
aged since mamma's death, and l do
SO want the domestic machinery to run
smoothly Willie he is here"
81 wish l might help you,' said Irene.
Then she sprang 10 the floor and cried:
II will help you! will play the role

Football is game which calls for
thorough preparation. 1t is what Mr..
Roosevelt would term strenuous
sport. 1t is not recreation for weak
lings. 1t Is not even safe for strong
men who have not been especially train
ed for it. But for the seasoned athlete
it has few perils. The fatalities among
the college elevens are few and far be-
tween because every man is trained to
the hour. The same thing is true In
measure of all athletic sports. Trained
pugillsts will hammer each other for
hours and be none the worse for it next
day. Trained bicyclists will ride for
days without rest or sleep and turn up
perfectly fresh after twenty-four hours
rest. Unframed men are frequently
killed in friendly boxing contests. I'm
trained cyclists kill themselves by at
tempting impossible tasks. The lesson
of it all is that athletics, like everything
else worth trying, demands practice,
self-denial and perseverance. There is
no royal road to excellence on track,
field or gridiron. The man who would
