Baby'a ~
puiCEsss n

Every woman'S heart responds
10 the charm and sweetness OF a
baby's voice, because nature in
tended her for motherhood. But
even the loving nature Of a mother
shrinks from the ordeal because
such time is usually a period Of
suffering and danger. Women
who use Mothers Friend are
saved much discomfort and suf-
fering, and their systems, being
thoroughly prepared BY this great
remedy, are in a healthy condition
to meet the time With the least
possible suffering and danger.
Mothers Friend is recommended
only for the relief and comfort OF
expectant mothers; it is in no
sense a remedy for various ills,
but its many years OF success, and
the thousands OF endorsements re-
ceived from women who have used
il are guarantee Of the benefit to
be derived from its use, This
remedy does not accomplish Won
ders but simply assists nature to
perfect its work Mothers Friend
allays nausea, prevents caking OF
the breasts, and r<nfa.H-
contributes to " fFrienh
strong, healthy
motherhood. Mothers Friend is
sold at drug stores. Write for our

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-10-01

II f you do not want men to be
grafters, begin with the little
boys in their kindergarten
age; and train their minds to think
of something besides personal gain.
Do not buy their good behavior,
or their polite attentions, or their
small duties with pennies, sweet
meats, or promises of picnics. In
still into their young minds a per-
sonal pride and self-respect which
will cause them to be ashamed of
receiving presents for every good
act.
This can be done by making the
child confdant and by talking in
a friendly way which will interest
and entertain, about the value of
good manners. and the pleasure
and happiness which older people
feel in children who show good
breeding; and making it plain that
any lack of politeness and willing
ness to oblige others, or any dis
play Of greediness for pay, or ac-
ceptance Of money for little acts Of
courtesy, reflects upon the family
pride and gives strangers an OPP
portunity to look down upon such
children
