MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try-
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
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
a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed child birth under the 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 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 s Vegetable Com
pound, most valuable tonic and invig-
orator Of the female organism.

Governor Oswald West does
not think much of these hanging

he took office that maybe the peo-
pie of Oregon didn't think much
of them, either, so he committed
the death sentence of couple of
murderers to life Imprisonment.
The furore that followed awak-
ened the governor to the fact that
at least some of his constituents
were still strong for the big
shows, so he stopped and thought
over the matter.
He remembered that emperors
of Rome lefrft to the public to say
who should die. In those days
they killed criminals in public and
charged an admission to see the

made them fight each other. If

tons were printed, so that the
people could vote-they make
cross now instead of twiddling
their thumbs.
But it takes 10000 signatures
to get the law on the ballot, and
the governor has found out some
thing else. He found that in this
day of the rush for the almighty
dollar, the populace doesn't give a
boot whether it's thumbs are up
or down.
Of course the friends of the
condemned might be worried, but
they do, not number 10000.
Nobody offered to pay for the
circulating of petitions, and those
who volunteered to circulate
them report that there will be no
chance of getting the required
number of signatures in time to-
get the law on the ballot, unless
there is some tail hustling.
Determined to put the matter
of life and death up to the>people,
Gov. West has refused to al
low any execution until after cleo
ton and has reprieved the con-
demned men now at Salem until
January, 1913. By that time the
people will have voted on the
question.
