Young
Mothers

No young woman, In the Joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
TEN for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could be

Park Board Favors
Asphalt Pavement

The members of the Park board are
looking with considerable favor upon
asphalt as wearing surface for the boule-
wards outside of the parks. While moth
ing will be done this fall In the way of
laying this kind OF paving. it IL quite
likely that It will be introduced next
year.
The park commissioners have tried
macadam. but It has failed to fill the
bin. More recently It has tried oiling the
bouievards, but this has proven rather
unsatisfactory, as we'll as expensive, and
now they are turning their attention to
the asphalt. The greatest objection they
find to the oil Is that it is filthy until
Il dries away.
Assistant Superintendent Mcdonald has
studied the asphalt proposition and finds
that here a, boulevard pavement. at least
two inches in thickness, can be laid for
around s1.2 per square yard. In laying
the asphalt for park and boulevard paw
ing IL is mixed with broken stone, which,
when thoroughly packed. becomes almost
an hard as granite and entirely free from
dust.
AZ this time, outside OF parks the bcule-
wards aggregate about seventeen miles.
OF this mileage five and one-half miles
are macadaIn. two sheet asphaltum and
the balance cindered or oiled.

EVADING PUBLICITY RESO.
LUTON.

One OF the campaign pledges of
Candidate Hall, we believe, was
the publication of campaign ex-
penses, giving the source of all
funds received and for what pur-
pose each expenditures was made.
Messrs. Michel and Aswell joined
Candidate Hall in this, and on a
motion offered by a Michel sup
porter. the State Central Commit
tee, by a practically unaninous
vote, adopted y resolution de-
manding that each aspirant for a
State or Senatorial office, publish
his campaign expenses, including
in such a statement the expendi-
lures incident to the political cam
paign, acknowledging all dona-
tions and contributions. Messrs.
Michel and Aswell complied with
the resolution, literally account
ing for every cent. or other thing
|of value, received and expended
that might in any may be con
nected with their campaigns.
Candidate Hall and the chair
man Of his State and City Cam
paign Committee have not beer
as frank or as diligent in comply
ing with the resolution as they
were in other matters Of less i'm
portance. At the very first op
| portunity to put into practical eff
feet his campaign pledge of pub
licity, Candidate Hall and hi
managers have evaded the matte
and have only published some o
the receipts and some of the ex
penditures. At present the Go
