True Honesty.

To be honest is more than to re- train from stealing another mans purse. more than paying the exact number of dollars you owe. Honesty means far more than not defrauding other people financially. It means nothing less than not defrauding your. self by your own ptejudices and juog- ments. It means dealing fairly and squarely with yourself; looking at yourself with the same eyes with which you dissect the conduct of your associates. Clara K Bayliss.

MOTHERHOOD
 SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such dimes, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which it is hard to recover. Fol lowing right upon this comes the ner- vous. strain of caring for the child, and distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child d-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainabie thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an un- prepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Com- pound, most valuable tonic and invig- orator of the female orpanism
