HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is SO truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligarneuts, makes plant and elas-
tic those hbres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the infam-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mother S
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers

Foolhardy Snake Keeper.
rom the London Globe.


The only fatal case OF snake bite on
record IN the London Geological Gardens
was directly due to the foolishness of the
victim. He was In charge OF the snakes.
and coming IN ore morning with some
friends began to boast of his power over
the creatures and the extent to which
they would submit to be played with by
one whom they knew. This led to prac-
teal experiments. the over-confident
keeper taking an Indian cobra from its
comfortable sleeping place. and. declaring
he was a snake charmer. proceeded to
swing il about his head and play other
tricks with II.
A native snake charIner would have
known there was no more certain way to
rouse the snakes temper than this. for
the race abhors rough handling or sud
den movement Of any sort. The result Of
the exploit was that the keeper was bitten
on the nose He was hurried of to the
hospital. but died in q few hours.

tary rights or because Of certain sugges-
tons as to the ceremony. Some OF the
claims made and allowed were as fol-
lows:
That the Bishops OF Durham, Bath

Ieees; that the Earl OF Shrewsbury should
carry a white wand as a symbol Of his
office of lord high steward OF ireland;

Notwiths,a ndinG the much-talked-of
popularity Of bridge. as bridge whist Is
now almost universally called, the fif-
teenth annual congress Of the Woman
Whist League OF America, now in session
In Baltimore gives ample proof that the
interest in the older and more scientific
game of true whist IS still extant. Many
of the charter members of the Woman's
Whist League are still active in its work
and there IS little probability Of any
whist league club Blowing the knee 10
Baal' by substituting bridge for whist,
as many Independent players are doing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Amer
lean Whist League hasiissued code
OF rules and laws for bridge playing and
that q large number of people are anus
ing themselves with the more trivial
game. whist has never been more pop
ular than IL is today.
The Woman's Whist League was con-
ceived at a meeting held III Philadelphia
nfteen years ago II was Incorporated in
the state OF Rhode Island in 1900 by
charter bearing the names OF twenty
prominent women as its first members
and has adhered closely 10 the scientific
practice of whist as Its object. II has
done and is doing more than any other
organization 10 perpetuate the true science
ard skill of this dignifed. historical card
game. which despite its rivals. has now
more devoted followers than ever before.
\ bout sixty clubs are included in the
congress now IN session In baltimore
Some of these have sent but one team to
represent them, while others have several
teams contesting for the different hon
ors. The program for the congress in
cludes contests for the Washington tro-
ply. the Cavendish trophy the Omaha

at Congress Opening.

games are held each evening through
out the congress The morning SEES
sions are occupied exclusively by woman
players. who are competing for the
different trophies and honors. The after
Moons are devoted To business meetings
and the social diversions planned by the
Baltimore women for their visiting
guests. The congress of the Womens
Whist League is always one of the most
important social events of the year in
whatever city ii is held. because Of the
high social prominence of the women di-
recting il. In Baltimore this week the
presence OF some three hundred clever
women is giving gala appearance to the
the teas, receptions and other functions
held in their honor Will make the con-
gress an affair OF unusual brilliancy.
The Woman's Whist League has accept
ed all the laws of whist and duplicate
whist and the etiquette OF whist which
have been adopted by the American
Whist League. Notwithstanding all con-
trary assertions, the ladies play their
unnecessary conversation and with no
outsiders present. excepting by special
permission from the teams playing.
There are a number of very valuable
trophies or prizes in the possession of
the league, most of which have been do
mated either by individuals or by some
club Most OF these have exchanged own
ers each year. The Washington trophy

was a gift of Mrs John Price Wetherell
Of that city. There has been a Toledo
trophy, but last year it was decided that
il should remain permanently in the pos
session OF the club winning it, the Howell
Club of Boston. Its place is supplied
in this years list by the Boston trophy
