MOTHER AND BABE.
All Wish Them Well.

HHE trying ordea1s of maternity
are usually compensated for by
Il the beautiful little cherub that
comes to make home bright and
happy. The first years of life are the
period of greatest sickness and the high
est death rate. The death rate between
birth and one year in the cities in sum-
mer IS often as high as eighty per cent.
It is due to causes that could be avoided
Most young mothers find themselves
with their first baby in their arms with
little knowledge of how it ought to be
cared for. Fortunate is the babe born
to a healthy, happy, sensible mother,
who welcomes its arrival and gives up
her life and her all for the time being to
motherhood. AS a mother, her duty and
her instinct should teach her to take
great care of herself previous to baby's
coming. The state of her health and
all her habits of life, eating, drinking,
sleeping and exercise, should be her
constant care, as well as impulses and
emotions of fear, anger, jealousy, ETC.,
should be carefully guarded against
The mother, young or old, should make
the best of her lot. If she can be in the
country, close to nature, where she can
see the beautiful fields and trees, It
would be ideal for her repose of mind
No prospective mother should be with
out some good doctor book, such as the
vCommOn Sense Medical Adviser" ed
tied and published by R. Y. Pierce,
NJ. D., that any one can obtain by send
ing thirty-one one-cent stamps for the
cloth-bOund edition, to DR.. R V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. This gives good advice
for women, young or old, and for every
one in all conditions of life. In this
book DR.. Pierce advises that care should
be taken TO keep the liver active, and
eat only the kind of food that you have
a desire for. He also advises a midday
nap and gentle exercise. If the mother
wants to be strong and prepared for
that most trying ordeal, she should
take womanly tonic which DIR. Pierce
has prescribed for women in such con-
dition, called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription.
The reason why so many women sink
under the strain of motherhood is be-
cause they are unprepared. Is prepare
ton then required for motherhood asks
the young woman. And every expert
enced mother answers esh ri I'M
hesitatingly advise expectant mothers to
use DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, !"
writes Mrs. Stephens. The reason for
this advice is that DR.. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription is the best preparative
for the maternal function. No matter

tSANTA FE TROUBLE.
Several WashOuts DemOraIize the
Train Service.

Santa Fe officials are busy today re-
establishing their train service which
was demoralized by the high water
Saturday night.
The first trouble on this road occurr-
ed at bridge No 81. a short distance
east of Burlingame at o'clock Sunday
morning. The water damaged about
500 feet of track at this point and ran
through the depot. The damage was
only slight, however, and the track was
of high water was also reported from
bridge No SO, between Burlingame and
Peterton Sunday morning
The worst washout yet reported on
the Santa F'e occurred at bridge No. IS
near Reading, Kan, over the Marias
! des Cygnes river. At this point the
water rose until it reached the depth OF
IS inches over the tracks. About 1000
| feet of rails were foated of the dump.
The damaged track has since been re-
paired and the track was passable at
noon today.
At all points on the line except be-
cutoff, the water has receded sufficient
" for trains to pass At this point the
water was still rising according to the
last reports and several trains are tied
UP at QuenemO.
In view of these conditions it has
been next to impossible to keep up the
train service on the Santa Fe, but the
officials have finally succeeded in bring
ing order out of the chaos which reign
ed yesterday. On account of the breaH
in the company lines between Topeka
and Emporia it was necessary to detour
trains No. / and No. 5 out Of Topeka
over the Rock Island-the former to
Hutchinson and the latter to Wichita.
Nos. 4 and were detoured via Rock
Island from Wichita to Topeka, 30.
arriving here at 1920 this morning and
No. s at 1870. Train No. lis, the fast
mail, which leaves Kansas City for the
west at 2:20 a m, was annulled last
night on account of the WashOut at
l.Burlingame. No. II arrived at mid
night last night but was held in Tope-
lSa until today. Sunday, No. 2 and No.
6 were. started east over the Ottawa
cutoff but were tied up by the high
water on reaching Quenemo. At that
point the water is still rising and at
Ottawa the water is reported to be y
inches deep in the Santa Fe yards.
Aside from handling its own trains
the Santa Fe has also taken trains
from other roads. Two trains from the
Missouri Pacific were detoured over the
Santa Fe this morning from Kansas
/ City to Usage City and two Sunday
afternoon between Emporia and Otta-
/ Frisco trains, one NJ. K & T., and one
Denver. Enid and Gulf, between Okla

the Parker people but was compelled

how healthy and strong woman may
be, she cannot use "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" 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 tt Favorite Pre-
scription." 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. It has
changed the period of anxiety and
struggle into a time of ease and
comfort.
The benefits of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription do not begin with the
baby's coming, nor do they end there.
It cures or prevents the nausea from
which so many expectant mothers suffer.
It nourishes the nerves and strengthens
them, promotes a healthy appetite, and
keeps the mother physically strong and
mentally cheerful. After the baby's
coming the use of vFavorite Prescrip-
ton" will contribute to a quick conva-
lescence. It is the best of tonics and
nervines, giving real strength which no
mere stimulant can give. The mistake
of using alcoholic beverages to build up
the mothers strength and to increase
the baby's nutrition is constantly being
pointed out by physicians. DR.. Pierce's
FavOr1te Prescription contains no alcohol
and is free from all narcotics. It gives
strength to the mother and increases the
flow of the nutritive secretions on which
the baby is fed, and on the hea1thfulness
of which his growth depends.

press to you my thanks, for baby5s com
ing was almost without pain, and when

who were with me and my husband and
the doctor could not believe their eyes.
Having suffered so much before I never
believed myself able to bear a living
child. shall never be without your
medicines henceforth, and shall never
fail IN recommending your Favorite
Prescription I have used the medi-
cInes which you prescribed with the
best results"
Backed up by over a third of a cen
tury of remarkable and uniform cures.
a record such as no other remedy for
the diseases and weaknesses peculiar
to women ever attained, the proprietors
and makers of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription now feel fully warranted in

corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Failing of Womb, which they cannot
