= Baby,
The young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why it was
not possible to prepare in some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost uncomfortable.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity. 1t prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. It strengthens the whole
body, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. 1t promotes healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. 1t gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
and happier than those born after
months Of mental misery and physical
anguish on the part of the prospective
mother.
Sick and ailing women are invited to
consult DIR. Pierce by letter absolutely
without fee or charge. As chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, DR..
R. v. Pierce, assisted by his staff Of
nearly score of physicians, has in the
past thirty years and over treated and
cured more than half million sick and
suffering women. The testimonials Of
these cured women are on record. A
large number of them were cured when
doctors had pronounced a cure impossi-
be and after enduring years Of useless
suffering.
Let no sick women hesitate to take ad.

at once and 90 secure the professional

Thanksgiving was invented in New
England and from there spread to the
other parts Of the country.
In the early days of that section the
settlers had such a hard time lodging
Indian arrows and looking for crop
returns with a microscope that when d
good crop came in connection with a
poor year for Indians they felt like
tossing up their caps and feeling good
about 1t.
After awhile the rest of the country
thought up some things to be thankful
for, and the governors of the various
states who did not care what they did
to the English language began writing
proclamations, and so the custom was
established.
It is a beautiful custom, too, particu.

MUST HAVE PARENTS CONSENT.

Indianapolis, Feb. 22.-More radical
and important changes have probably
taken place in athletics at the Short
ridge high school this school year than
in a decade before. The latest limo
walton is that Of requiring each parti-
cipant II any athletic work to bring a
signed statement from home giving the
consent Of his parents and a statement
Of his physical condition.
The principle back Of this movement
is that each branch Of competitive
athletics at shortridge high school IS
under the management of one Of the
men teachers, and because Of the num-
Der Of boys engaged in each sport the
manager cannot be certain that all boys
who take part are physically fit. The
managers declare that while the per
centage Of injury among the boys Of
normal physique IS very small, never
theless the authorities, while striving
to minimize the danger, do not assume
responsibility for any accident. They
therefore ask the parents, of Compel
ing boys to sign q statement giving
their consent to the participation Of
their boys In the sports and stating
that It is fully understood that the re-
sponsibility for any accident is not to
rest upon the school authorities.
The adoption Of the above rules may
result IN the loss Of some athletes, as
some of the boys have contested against
parental consent.
