Leaving a. wife and three children

New York City, Sept. 30.@Much has
been said of Gaby Deslys the vaudeville
actress who according to much herald
ed reports vas in some way intangibly
to blame for the downfall of King
Manuel of Portugal. Very little has
been said to her credit, though since
her arrival in this port the people are
beginning to realize that not all that
has been formerly said is based on
fact. It is now generally believed that
the major part of the incident of her
notorious affair with King Manuel of
Portugal was purely press work con-

HEALTHY

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

to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
