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. It 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
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother Friend tits a
medicine that has proven its value in

ONE REMAINING WEEK AND
THE GREAT CONTEST ENDS.

Now if you are one of the fortunate ones who got in on the last
offer don't sit down and fold your hands and think your work Is
done, You may have a large number of votes sewed up In your
vest but it may be some other candidate has three times as many.
Even if you have worked your field, work it again-see your friends
the second time. Suppose the contest had closed Saturday. Sup
pose the contest had closed Saturday, glance at the hist and see who
would have been the winner: OF course this is only a case Of
'sposin' etc. +" but now that you have seen what would have really
happened, wouldn't it be well enough to oil up your perseverance
machinery and go about your work in a more determined manner
during the few remaining days of the contest
A LITTLE PERSEVERANCE.
This race is going to be won by the strOng-minded,r ed-blOoded
never-saydie candidates. And they are beginning to realize that
the race has now reached the stage where gameness and ability to
stand a terrific pace on the two much desired qualities. No man or
woman ever did anything worth doing by accident. Their Veto
rRs over circumstances were the result Of one strong unWaver1ng
purpose. No great thing has ever been ACCOMPLISHED without over
coming a host of obstacles, without overcoming host OF obstcles,
without patience and perseverance,. Perseverance built the Pyra-
mds on Egypts plains, perseverance scaled the stormy cloud-cap-
ped Alps; It opened the highways through the watery wilderness
of the Atlantic, constructed the telegraph, the telephone and the
cable. made Wright Bros. masters of the air. laughed at a thousand
the one pre-eminent dominating influence that is behind everything
that is worth while in this world.
Be firm in your intention to win: The man or woman who re-
solves, but allow their resolutions to be changed by the first rebuff,
who fuctuate from opinion to opinion, from planto plan, and veers
like the weather vane to every point of the compass with every
breath of caprice that blows never accompishes anything great,
useful or lasting.
If you are in this contest resolve to be a prize winner and exc
cute that resolution with inhexible perseverance, undlsMayed by
the small and petty difficulties that appear as obstacles only to the
weaker spirits in the race. Just plain ordinary ability and common
sense accompEshes wonders for the man or woman who give them
selves wholly to what they are about.

Matte Moore Clark.

On the fifth of March, shortly after
the shadows of night had enveloped the
earth in a pail of darkness, the Angel
of Death softly and silently entered the
Ancon Canal Zone hospital and laid his
icy fingers upon the brow of sweet Mat
tie Moore Clark and her gentle spirit
winged it's way to God. For some time
she had been making a brave fight with
the Grim Reaper and every encourage
ment had been given the young hus-
band that his darling's life would be
spared.
He has given her the best medical at
tentlon that could be secured and every
thing that a loving, anxious hear could
dictate was done, out to me avail. The
all-wise father who works in such mys
FERROUS ways his wonders to perform,
had need Of her in his vineyard, and
hence the summons "Come up higher"
Matte was born at or near Chunkey,
Miss, July 2, 1889. She was always
loving and obedient at home, in school.
and after reaching maturer years, and
her many lovely traits Of character
have won for her a host of friends, who
deeply mourn her untimely end.
Less than a year G h left home,
oved ones and friends to join Mr.. Clark
at Ancon or the Isthmus, where they
were married on the 18th of June. 1910.
Short indeed, has been the time they
have been privileged to spend together.
Yet we must not question Gods motive
in the separation, for we know that he
doeth all things well. and could we
pierce the future, perhaps we might
discern that the separation, which, at
best, is only for q short while, will serve
as a tie to bind husband and all her
loved ones to Heaven.
She united herself with the Sixteenth
Baptist church in August, 1905, and
lived a beautiful christian life, taking
active part in Sunday School and other
church works. Her membership was
carr ed from Sixteenth to Macon, Miss,
when her mother moved there in 19O8,
n remained at hat place until her
demise. Her husband and brother de-
sired to bring her remains to her ma
tive home for interment and after an
interval of eleven days after her death
they arrived in ChunkeY on the morn
ing of the 18th and proceeded lmmedi-
ately to Sixteenth church, where amidst
a large assembly of sorrowing loved
ones: and friends they were tenderlv
laid to rest by the side of her father
who had preceded her by several years:
She has out-soared the shadow of one night:
Envy and calumny and hate and pain.
And that unrest which men miscall delight.
Can touch her not and torture hot again"
Dearshusband. weep not as one who
has no hope. for though she cannot
come to you, yet thanks be to God,
through His merciful providence we
may all go to her. And mother, dear,
you, who have so many times passed
under the Christening rod. we earnestly
pray that our Heavenly Father will
sustain you and all the loved ones in
this trying hour.
And if through patient toll we reach the land.
Where tired feet with sandals loosed. may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand.
