Every woman's heart responds
to the charm and sweetness Of a
baby's voice, because nature in
tended her for meherhood. But
even the loving nature of 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 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
it are a 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 tn e sTery m aag tt)otbers
contributes to E3Hrirn0
strong, healthy ~
motherhood. Mothers Friend is
sold at drug stores. Write for our

season. The talk was started by the
large attendance Denison had during
the past season, when, week days as
we'll as Sundays, there was always
crowd out for the games.
When the season started a subscrip-
ton list was placed in the hands of
committee and those subscribing gave
half the amounts opposite their names
toward erecting a fence and grandstand
and obtaining players. At the close of
the season only half the amount had
been collected. as gate receipts had paid
off all Indebtedness, with large ball
anCe on hand.
