HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare 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 demands 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. It
relieves the pain and discomfort
caused by the strain on the liga-
ments, makes plant and elastic
those fibres and muscles which ma
ture is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the
inflammation 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

TO TRADE WATER FOR LAND
Slower Offers Silver Lake for
Use as q Reservoir.

Park Commissioner Stover has Informed
Commissioner Thompson of the Water De-
partment that Silver Lake and one other
body Of water In Silver Lake Park, staten
Island. will be turned over TO the water
Department for reservoirs. provided GER
tain lands outside the present boundaries Oh
the park are ceded TO the Park Depart
ment The proposed exchange comes as
result of a conference of the two coninls-
sioners on the subject.
According to Commissioners Stover TINS
exchange would greatly increase the size
of the park At present II has an eXpanse
of about ffty-six acres. BY carrying out
the proposed plans the park would be 20'
acres In extent.
ut is now up to Commissioner Thomp-
son." said Park Commissioner Slower
THE Park Department. however, VIII not
give up Silver Lake without something IN
exchange, and that something have clear
ly spoken of to the Water Commissioner
AT present have a fund of $4,000 avail
able for the development of Silver Lake
Park, and hope TO have things under way
in a short time looking to its bettermeHu'
Even though Silver Lake, according to the
proposed change. would not be avallaoie
for use. II would create as reservoir the
same sort OF open space in Silver Lake
Park that the reservoir does in Central
Park. The land that would be ceded TO
the Park Department would more than
make up for the loss Of the lake and the
other small body Of water"
The Commissioner said that there was
small waterway on the land he wanted IN
exchange for his lake. and this he could
make into a snail lake.
Work is TO begin at once on a smaii
shelter house in Silver Lake Park. Com
