1S motherhood. But uneasy
A1 lies the head that wears
E&A the crown or anticipates
sst, ~ this coronation, when
e'S1zzl = there is lack of womanly
strength to bear the buzz
dens of maternal dignity and duty.
And how few women come tc this critical
time with adequate strength. The rea-
son why SO many women sink under the
strain of motherhood is because they are
unprepared. Is preparation then re-
quired for motherhood? asks the young
woman. And every experienced mother
answers-uYes.n II unhesitatingly ad-
wise expectant mothers to use Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription" writes
Mrs. Stephens. The reason for this
advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the best preparative for the
maternal function. No matter how
healthy and strong woman may be,
she cannot use vFavorite Prescription !"
as a preparative for maternity without
gain of health and comfort. But it is
the women who are not strong who best
appreciate the great benefits received
from the use of & Favorite Prescription y
For one thing its use makes the baby's
advent practically painless 1t has in
many cases reduced days of suffering to
a few brief hours. 1t has changed the
period of anxiety and struggle into a
time of ease and comfort.
ALCOHOLIC TONES.
A great many women feeling the need
of tonic take cocktail, whisky, or
what is just as bad, some widely adver-
tisei tonics or compounds which contain
a large percentage of alcohol. Doctor
Pcrce's medicines are guaranteed to be
entirely free from alcohol or narcotics-
made of roots and herbs which cannot
harm the most delicate system but have
wholesome, life giving, tonic effect
upon the system. Tones made largely
of alcohol interfere with the digestion
of certain foods, and as doses increase
the alcohol absorbed gets into the blood
aud shrinks the red blood corpuscles.
As the blood feeds the nerves the nerves
get improper nourishment and the
mother becomes nervous. As the nerves
suffer so does the skin.
Better stick to a health-giving tonic
that has in the past third Of a century
sold more widely than any other.
WHAT AGE DOES.

A Grand Installation.

The members of Capital City
lodge, No. 9 at Jefferson City held
their installation of officers in
their hall last Monday evening in
the presence of the members of
the lodge and their wives the
ladies court and few invited
guests, it was most enjoyable
affair, and all present felt them
selves honored by the invitation
extended them. Prof. A. l.. Rey-
nolds, tho out going w. NJ, in
sailed the new officers with very
appropriate remarks, with the
usual installation ceremonies.
The following officers were in
sta led: w. M. G. B. Lane,
S. W., j. H. Garnett, j. W.,
Yancy CLANCY, Sec. Andrew
Graham, Treas. Benjamin King,
Chaplain, Richard Winston, S. D.,
Harrison Wiseman, j. D.. Wheeler
Sexton, j. s., Henry Congo, S. s.,
Hiram Brooks, Tiler, John Carter.
Mr.. Lane, the newly installed w.
M. is former student of Lincoln
Institute, and now holds a lucrative
position in the State Capital. The
newly installed officers made short
and appropriate talks in accepting
the honors conferred upon them,
after which a number of visitors
were introduced and made remarks.
At the conclusion of the exercises,
an elegant supper was spread
under the direction of the veteran
and we'll known caterer, Mr.. Il. c..
Capleton, and it is needless to say
that this part of the program was
enjoyed by all. The Capital
Lodge is one of the best in the
State. The hall in which they
meet, is owned by them and they
have plans drawn for $4,000
building, which will probably be
erected in the near future.

"A OF many-voiced affairs. The world spet fast I;
Behind me, ever rolled a pregnant past.
A present came equipped with lore to learn,
Art, science letters. in their turn
Each one lured me with its treasures vast;
And staked all for wisdom. till at last
Thou cam'st and taught my soul anew to yearn
l had not dreamed that could turn away
From all that with brush and pen had
wrought;
But ever since that memorable day
When to my heart the truth of love was brought,
have been wholly yielded to its sway
And had no room for any other thought
