THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect tc
properly instruct her daughter.
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and Young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. # young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment. and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina'
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address Is

London, BY Cable.-The important
report received from johannesburg
that Dewet has crossed the Vaal and
joined forces with the Transvaal COM

There is rumor current in Cape

has long been understood that General
Dewet has been anxious to Join the in
