For men must work. and must weep,

Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives sat up in the lighthouse tower.
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun went

They looked at the squall. and they looked at the

And the night rach came rolling up ragged and

But men must work, and women must weep
Though the storms be sudden and waters deep
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out on the shining sands
In the morning CLEAN the tide went down,
And the women weeping and wringing their

"BEFORE BABY is BORN"
A Valuable Little Book of
Interest to All Women Sent Free.

Every woman looks forward with
feelings of indescribable Joy to the
one event in her life, compared with
which all others pale into insignifi-
canoe. How proud and happy she
will be when her precious babe nest
les on her breast-how sweet the
name of "mother." And yet her
happy anticipations are clouded with
dread of the pain and danger of the
ordeal, so that it is impossible to
avoid the feeling of constant fear.
The danger and suffering attendant
upon being a mother can be entirely
prevented, so that the coming of the
little stranger need not be looked
forward to with fear and trembling
Every woman who reads this paper
can obtain absolutely free a valuable
and attractive little book entitled
Before baby is BORN" by sending
her name and address to the Bradfield
Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ga. This book
contains priceless information to all
women and no one should fail to send
for it.
