Some OF the starry spikes let in.
Where did YOU get that little tear?
found it waiting when l got here"
The fact is as sad as it is true that the
baby finds the tear waiting to dull its
blue eyes, and stain it's soft cheeks. At
the first it "has no language but a cry"
It's one necessity is but to give express
sion to its suffering, and for that a tear
sufices.
The mother who stoops in anguish
over the wailing child would do any
thing to ease it's suffering. But she is
helpless. The time when she could have
done so much for her child is past. She
did not realize that in those anxious
nervous days when She shrank from the
deal of motherhood she was preparing
suffering for the baby.
The path of motherhood is soothed

courages a healthy appetite and induces

practically painless, and by Increasing
the natural, food secretions, it enables the
healthy mother to enjoy the happiness
of nursing her child.

|Blackbirds Come to
Farmers Rescue.
Thousands Suddenly Appear

Americas, Ga, August Is
Countless thousands of black
birds, suddenly appearing in
great droves, settled upon cotton
fields near Americas this morn,
ing and played havoc with the
caterpillars.
The appearance of the black
birds astonished the farmers, as
these birds always come in the
fall season and are never seen
here in summer. The birds at
tackled the caterpillars, devour-
ing them ravenously, and bushels
of the cotton pests were thus de-
stroyed in day. If the black
birds continue here the settle.
ment of the caterpillars problem
may be reached unexpectedly.
Farmers have applied barrels
of Paris green in efforts to kill
the caterpillars, and in some To-
calities have succeeded. The
blackbirds, however, may prove
more effective in destroying the
worms, which row threaten the
