births in the United States!' exclaims
Doctor Wilbur; why, for not much more
than one-half of the total population is
there fairly accurate registration Of
deaths, to say nothing OF births of

reliable or complete information, and
many of the states are so little con-
eerned about human life that they make
no more account of the deaths of their
citizens than Of the trees they burn to

The Cows Birthday More Important

year in this country and that half OF
them perish unnecessarily. Mr.. Bruere

''Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief Stats
ticians of the bureau OF the census in
Washington, tells a story taken from
court records, which fairly typifies our
national attitude toward vital statistics.
Farmer Hadley, he said,s OF In
diana, on dying, left his valuable farm
in trust 20 his unthrifty son, to become
the property Of his granddaughter on
her twenty first birthday. The girl had
been told the date of her birth and
when her twentyfirst anniversary, as
she supposed, came around, she claimed
her inheritance. But her father refused
to surrender the farm, asserting that she
was only nineteen. The dispute was
taken into court The family Bible was
appealed to, but the page for births and
deaths was blank The father had rem

strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of chill
dren. and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy, and strong.
ANY woman who would like
special advice in regard to this
matter is cordially invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. Her letter win be held in

Defenders Day, the anniversary of the
battle of North Point, where the Mary
landers made a successful resistance
to the British invasion in 1914, was
more today in accordance with GUS

that inspired Francis Scott Key to
write "The Star-Spangled Banner"
and one of the interesting features in
connection with today's celebration
was the unfurling of the original flag
that inspired Key to write the national
hymn over the ramparts of historic

friends she buys SO, although the

The reason why American women
do not look well in the hobble skirt is
because they are too large for it.
French women have comparatively
small hips and they can afford to have
