THE MERRIMACK BRIDGE.

For the Legislature to vote $4,000
toward 1914 900 wagon bridge across
the Wisconsin river at Mergimack
will be proceeding the advisability
of which never can be fairly ques-
toned. The bridge is greatly needed
as public convenience; it is essen
tlal to connect two important high
ways impassably interrupted by a
water barrier so big that the local
communities most directly interested
cannot possibly span it unaided; it
would afford highly desirable cross
Jag to hundreds of farmers at Ga point
from which no bridge exists nearer
than Portage, eighteen miles TO the
north, or Prairie du Sac, ten miles to
the south. 1t is a matter of large
interest to three counties-Sauk, Co.
lumbia, Dane; and the value of such a
bridge would be materially felt by
Baraboo, Merrimack, Lodi, Dane,
Waunakee, Madison and all the re-
gion tributary to those places. A
bridge at Merrimack becomes a use.
full connecting link between the out
side world and the state park at Dew
lis lake.
Since the state grants aid to high
ways why should it not also to bridges
particularly in the few peculiarly
urgent cases that are likely to
arise?
Exceedingly imperative is state
help in this instance now. In truth,
it is now or perhaps never; for the
risings darn at Prairie du Sac six
months or so hence is to back, water
to an additional depth of eight feet or
more at Merrimack, thus rendering
pier construction in the river many
thousands of dollars more costly
than were the abutments built while
the river yet remains att a natural
stage. The state gave assistance to
New Richmond, cyclone swept,
many years ago; it has erected levies
near Portage; it lent helping hand
to Black River Falls when the de-
vastating floods came;,and it has con-
tributed in emergent cases elsewhere.
This bridge so nearly falls into the
category of such cases that a gener-
Gus disposition justly may be exhi-
bited toward it by the legislature
Madison Democrat.

EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
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 hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth 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 unprepared condition, and with am
pie 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
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
