How reasonable this is. The child

THE FAIRY coD-MorHER
is very pretty invention. But the real
fairy god-mother is the natural mother
of the child. It is she who must endow
her child with health from which
springs all other endowments desirable
for humanity.
The way to have healthy children is
to be healthy. But how to be healthy
is the vexing question for women. Is
the mother to blame because she is nerv-
Gus, because her appetite fails and her
strength wanes, because she is sleepless
and respondent? One cannot blame the
woman whose only failing is that she does
not know how to change her condition.
Yet a woman's health is practically in
her own control. If she is weak she can
be made strong. If she is sick she can
be made we'll. The experience of other
women shows that the rose of mother
hood can be stripped of its thorns by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

The ChanSeling Child.
The Scientific Explanation Of
the Change Formerly At
tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent
mention of changelings = children who
were changed by fairy influence. Some
loving wife and proud husband found
their child weak of body, and some
times weak of mind. 1t grew up to
be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful
1t seemed impossible that love could
bring such a child into the world.
So the child was called fairy change
ling, a child substituted by the fairies
for one whom in their envy for its lovli-
ness they had carried away.
We hear no more of fairy stories.
Stern science says that healthy and
lovely children must have healthy par
ents, and that when the mother in her
days of waiting and anticipation is

Des Moines. Ia, Jan. 9.-Judge A.
X. Dewey, Of the Sixth Iowa judicial
district, yesterday rendered it's de.
cisiOn on the legality of the biennial
election amendment to the state con-
stitutiOn declaring the same to be
void. He bases his opinion upon the
fact that the amendment was not SUBJ
pitted by the legislature in legal
form. .
The amendment provided that all
terms of office, from governor down.
expiring in the year 1901 be extended
for one year. 1t first appears in the
legislature of 1898. being introduced
in the form of joint resolution. In
compliance with requirements in the
adoption Of an amendment it was pre-
sented to the succeeding legislature
in 1900, known as the twenty-eighth
general assembly.
In the passage of the resolution at
that session the record made in the
journals of the house was by the title
of the joint resolution. The cOnstitu-
ton requires that the amendment
shall be entered upon the journals"
Judge Dewey holds that the recording
of fhe title only is not sufficient and
therefore the amendment was not le-
gally adopted by the, people of Iowa
at the election Nov. 6, 1900.
