Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she Is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is SO truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use 1t. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elias
tic those f1bres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the inf1am-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers

EREN. LEE ;. McCoLLEsTER.

In discussing The new UNIVERSAL
|ism as applied TO social well-being,
Sunday morning, in the Church OF Our
Father, the Rev. Lee s.. McCollester
said: II am interested In the we'll
being OF men. have no worry about
what Is after death; but do hate tc
see people using up their minds and
bodies in what shortens life and gives
only passing pleasure.
r'There Is a greater hunger than for
food. There is hunger for faith
that Is reasonable, for church that
Is honest and sane. The best scrip
lures read are the souls Of earnest
men. They teach me q great deal
about God and destiny, and help me
to understand that religion is Of the
soul, not OF the creed"
