Notes..

The features given Thursday by the
A. e Hutton Roman Hippodrome co.
were Jockey race between three driV-
ers and the half-mie was done in "a
seconds. The four horse chariot race
was exciting and was close one at
the finish with the bay four little In
the lead The halt-mile was made IN
5S1S seconds.
Pickpockets must have reaped mar
vest Thursday on the fair grounds. Al
least two thefts were reported TO the
police and there were doubtless many
others who We're touched, hut kept
quiet About o'clock an elderly man
and his son while getting on an cleo
trio car detected a young man trying
to reach his hand into the older mans
hip pocket. The offender was grabbed
and turned over to the officer stationed
lat the ears and was later taken down
to the city, where he will be given a
hearing Friday morning. The crowds
about the flying machine and about
the electric cars were just the thing
for the light-fingered gentry and they
evidently realized it and improved the
opportunity. A good many cases of in
toxication were noticed about the
grounds and down in the city both
during the day and evening.
An exhibition of interest to many
cattle men was the slaughter of two
cows afflicted with tuberculosis. They
were killed and then cut up so that the
work of the disease might be seen.
The cattle came from Saco and one
of them was the worst case that the
officials say they have ever seen. The

an organism untitled for the trial of
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received a 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
a 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 will be held in
strict confidence.
