Every woman's heart responds to
the charm and sweetness of a ba-
by's VOice, because nature intended
her for motherhood. But even the
loving nature of a mother shrinks
from the ordeal because such time
Is usually period Of suffering and
danger. Women who use Mothers
Friend are ayed much discomfort
and suffering, and their systems,
being thoroughly prepared by this
great remedy, are in a healthy con-
dition 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 it's
many years of success, and the
thousands of endorsements received
from women who have used it are
a guarantee of the benefit to be de-
rived from it's use. This remedy
does not accomplish wonders but
simply assists nature to perfect its
work. Mothers Friend allays nau-

BENNINGTON WILL
PLAY BALL ON
MAY 20
Opening Game Of the Season at
Morgan Park
FOUR-CLUB LEAGUE SURE
Directors of Association Busily En-
gagged In Completing Plans
for the Coming Season

Bennington is going in for base
ball this year. The directors Of the
association held a meeting Monday
evening and decided to put things in
motion. Manager Higgins will at
once begin engaging the players for
the team and the directors have al
ready started the arrangements for
the fair to be held at Foresters' hall
on the evenings of May 20, "a and rs.
The first game will be played at
Morgan park on the afternoon OF
May 25 1t is more than likely that
the season will open in the custom
airy manner with game against Will
Jamestown. This has always been
one of the best games of the year.
The timidity of the Twin State"
league teams to help in the forma-
ton of six-team circuit has evident
ly worked out to the advantage OF
the game in this section. If it has
accomplished nothing more, the agita-
ton for the proposed six-team circuit
has had tendency to stir the inter-
est in the game among the fans In
the old Three City League towns, and
the prospects for the sport look bet
ter today than at any time during
the year.
There is every prospect that four
team league, and perhaps an organi-
cation of six teams, will be organized.
North Adams has awakened to the
fact that it is time to start some
! thing" If baseball is to be played in
this section this season, and last eve
ming, members of the association were
in communication with Manager Hig
gins.
I Down at tho otner end of the cir,
cult, in Pittsfield, agitation is in pro
I gress to wake up the fans in Dalton
and there is large amount OF conf,
dence that a blub can be organized
there. Adams and Lenox are other
points where the baseball microbe is
going to be planted and cultivated.
There is every prospect that four
teams can be secured but It Is hoped
that more may be organized in order
to eliminate the travelling teams OF
which the baseball public has become
weary.
The directors have large amount
of work to accomplish during the
next few weeks, and 1t is up to the
fans here to give them every posi-
BILE assistance.
