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 ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those fbres and muscles which
nature Is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inham-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left healthy woman to enjoy the
rearing of her
child. Mothers M0THEDE

Of TOBACCO TRUST
National League to Demand
Punishment for Disobedi-

Declaring that the officers of the
American Tobacco Company and it's
subsidiaries, the so-called Tobacco
trust, have disobeyed the mandate of
the Supreme Court as to the reorgan-
tzation OF the company, the executive
committee OF the National Antitrust
League will make formal request up
on the Department of Justice to In
stitute criminal proceedings against
the Tobacco trust magnates.
The committee also will strongly
suggest to the department that 1t is
encumbent upon the Attorney General
to move that the trust officials shall

The Supreme Court ordered real dis

The change In the Presidents itiner-

When the itinerary was originally
formed the South was left out on the
theory, II IL said. that the Southern
States would send solid Taft delega-
