HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare 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 demands 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 ex-
pectant mother should fail to use
it. 1t relieves the pain and dis
comfort caused by the strain on the

nature is expanding, prevents numb

FRED KNOWLES, FORMER
 GIANT SECRETARY, DIES
Man Who Managed Finances of New York Nationals for 15 Years, Passes Away.

Frederick Martin Ripley Knowles, who was for fifteen years secretary of the New York National Leasue club, died yesterday at Denver. Col, of tuberculosis. Knowles had been ill for several years. He spent consider able time at Saranac Lake and in Arizona. He went to Denver last De cember after a benefit held in this city for his relief, which was a big success. He was forty-four years of age and leaves a widow, and two daughters by his first wife. His body will be brought to Orange. N. J., for burial.
 Knowles began his baseball career as manager of the Orange Athletic club team, where he brought out sev- eral players, among them Roy Thom- as, who was for years a member of the Philadelphia club, and Nelson Kellogg, who played second base for the Giants in 1901. When Andrew Freedman bought the New York club in 1895, Knowles succeeded the late George Stackhouse as secretary of the club. He retained his position until
