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 N It's 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. It 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 infan-
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 a healthy woman to enjoy the
rearing Of her
child. Mothers HEfRTYIPEle

But what a mighty job il is. Think
OF going over the United States with
an augur an inch and a half in dia-
meter and three feet in length, and
boring down into every ten-acre field
70 IND what kind of soil It contains.
That is Just what Uncle Sam is doing
he has already tested the most Of the
land OF the great plains, and has actu-
ally made soil maps and working plans
Tor territory larger than France
Iermany or the Spanish peninsula. He
has mapped and analyzed the soils Of
considerably more than one hundred
mllAOn acres in the eastern part Of
this country. having completed the
work over enough land to make four
states as big as uliOnOis, or five the
size OF Ohio OF KelLucky.
This testing has been done by coun-
Lles or small areas picked out at some
distance apart so that general
kno Wedge Of the soils lying between
IS already known. 1t shows just what
the soils are, and TO what crops they
are adapted and how they may be i'm
proved It has been so done that we
now have fair knowledge Of the
sOlls east OF the great plains, although
the practical working plans and msDs
have 70 be made for each county. and
this work viii go on for decades to
come
An army Of experts is now at work
in the dry plains region mapping the
country from North Dakota TO Texas
Other experts are testing the places
IN the Rocky mountain basin where
the reclamation plants are being ere
ated, and considerable surveying has
been done In California and In other
parts Of the Pacific slope, as well as
In the gulf states and the Mississippi
valley. The work has been such that
we have now a general outline Of our
sell territories as well as accurate
knowledge OF about percent OF the
whole. The total land Of the United
States proper aggregates about 1900
million acres. and. as have said, OF
more than 100000 000- acres we have
already completed surveys. The work
began about II years ago. It is car
ried on by one Of the chef bureaus Of
the agricultural department whose
scientific laboratories and other ar
rangements are among the finest Of

tUal exhaustive surveys prospecting
surveys have been carried on in many

Mcmillan Seems About to Be
Retired.

Nashville, Tenn, January 12-As fal
as appearance go, there has been lit
tie change in the senatorial situation
In this state since the vote In joint
convention taken yesterday at noon
Those who have watched closely the
flsht for United States senator, declare
that ex-Gov. Mcmillan has been prac-
tically eliminated from the race; that

most his entire strength forward. The
friends of Mr.. Fitzhugh, the indepen-

sanguine today of his final success,
It is predicted that when the show
down comes he will get the solid re-
ublican support,
Should the regular democrats be-
come convinced that there is no hone
for Mcmillan, 1t is understood thcn
whole strength will go to Luke p
Wright, of Memphis. Should the deal

With Their Addresses to Prove The

TypG-WFltten Lists and AffidaVitS
Being Prepared.

The entire facts connected with the
Americus census are to be placed be-
fore Director Durand. through the No
dunn of Congressman Hughes, in an
.endeayor to right the great injustice
that has been done to this city either
through the carelessness or indiffer-
ence of some of the government enum-
orators, or through errors in the cen
sus department at Washington.
1t was feared when the census was
taken that proper attention might not
be given to the matter by the govern
ment enumerators. In order to pro-
tect the city the Board of Trade It.
the same time put four enumeratois
in the field charged with the duty a
preparing a complete census of the
city, giving the names and addresses
of all the people living in the corporate
limits, white and colored.
The four books made up by the
Board of Trade enumerators, now in
the hands of the officers of the or
CARNATIONS show the names and street
addresses of S,555 people, with the dis
tinction as to races.
A complete typewriter copy will he
made from these books, giving the
streets, the numbers of the houses
and the names of all the occupants
Of the houses These will then b,
arranged by districts, afFldavits will
be secured from the enumerators that
they represent the exact conditions as
to the city's population, and the entire
reports will be forwarded to Washing
ten as quickly as possible
There is no doubt that Congressman
Hughes will cooperate with the
Board of Trade in its efforts to right
the gross injustice that has been done
to Americus.
Armed with the absolute proof Oi
the incorrectness of the government
census statement, it is believed that
something may be done toward secur-
ing a correction.
In any event the Board of Trade will
not have failed in its duty to the city
whose business interests it was or
ganized to protect and promote.
