MOTHERS FRIEND

makes childbirth easy by preparing the
system for parturition and thus shortening
labor. The painful ordeal is robbed of its
terrors, and the danger lessened to both
mother and child; the time of confinement
is shortened, the mother rested, and child
fully developed, strong and healthy.
Morning sickness, or nausea arising
from pregnancy, is prevented by its use,
AS pregnancy advances, the breasts en-
large, become swollen and hard. Llcng
before the child is born, they are prepar:
ing for the secretion of milk. It is import
ant that they receive early attention.
Mothers Friend softens the skin and
facilitates the secretion of Life Fluid.
Undeveloped breasts, hard-caked shortly
after delivery are the result of non.
treatment, and likely to eliminate in
Mammary Abscess, from which so many
suffer excruciating pain and are left with
these organs permanently impaired.
Softness, plability and expansion are given &c
the muscles and sinews, thus bringing comfort
and causing an easy issue of the child. Try it.

NAMES ITO BURN"
Nearly 500 Voters Petition
for a Vote on the
Saloon Question.

The petition for q vote under the
Beal law, which has been circulated
some two weeks, was presented to the
Council Tuesday night. The petition
contained the names of
$50 Petitioners
Enough and to spare and names to
burn. The total number of votes re-
quired is 5S9. Up to this time the
committee examining the petition has
found 6S3 names correct, with over 100
TO pass upon.
The petition being found to have
more than the required number of
names, the committee decided, in order
to report to the Council Thursday
evening, to count no more names.
The law makes it imperative on the
Mayor to issue a proclamation for an
election, and the Council is compelled
by the law to fix the day, between 20
and 30 days after the filing of the petit
tiOn.
The question under the Beal law will
not be handicapped by side issues, but
will be the simple question of wet or
dry.
There will be a lively campaign.

I Pure White Taffeta Silk.

A new web received, splendid quail.
ty, at medium price. White Taffetas
are somewhat difficult to secure. There
is quite a demand for them. You
might ask to see the 54-inch wide
black Taffeta which we received yes
terday. It's something unusual to
see an extra fine quality Taffeta as
wide as that. The price, 81 a yard, is
really less than buying a narrower
width. The manufacturers use the
wide widths. They cut to better ad-
vantage. There is 36-inch black
Taffeta, an extra quality, opened at
Sl.25. The black lace stripe Taffetas
which We advertised last week have
sold we'll. They are good for jackets
and waists. We solicit your trade.

A crazy man was arrested in WASH
ington township, Monday, by several Of
the citizens and brought to the Jail. He
had been in that end of the county for
several days, soaring women and chill
dren by his strange conduct, and being
run down he hid under q barn. He is
badly crazed, and is fearful of being
lynched-afraid he will be killed like
his father" He gave his home as Col.
lege Corners, Hamilton, Muncie and
other places. Word was sent to Col.
lege Corners, and word has been re-
turned TO hold him till they come fol
him.
P. S.-Since the above was written, 9
brother came College Corner and tool
the demented man home. They had had
no knowledge of his insanity. At first
he did not recognize his brother.

Frost and Freezing.

There was heavy frost, with ice,
Wednesday morning. Much damage
was done in some localities, but not so
great as reported. We find our grapes
and tree fruits all right. Corn is some
what damaged but will come out all
right. Potatoes and beans have their
top leaves cooked, but will only be put
back few days. Tomato plants not
killed. In low places, Of course, the
image is greater. Our anxiety was
for the wheat, but we now think 1t Is
not seriously damaged.

There is noNcity in Ohio in which
Carpets are sold as cheap as they are
IN Bellefontaine. There were three
rolls of Ingrains received yesterday

been here for Spring trade. Patterns
were so good the manufacturers could
not supply the demand. The stock of
lngrains to-day is unusually good,
possibly so different rolls to choose
from in all-wool quality, Then there
are some halt wools, then there is a
line of Granite Ingrains at 25c a yard;
possibly 20 styles to choose from. Car

mend the 35c quality as being the
prettiest yarn ever produced for near

gave us better garment than they
agreed to. This 35c garment will equal
most SOC qualities. In union suits we
