EXPERIENCE
OF MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try.
Ing one to most women and marks dis,
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ono
woman in hundred is prepared or TN.
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
cnce with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it Is over
her system has received shock from
which 1t 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
happy and healthy mother of children,
md 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
nm unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which TO prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman ut this time should rely
upon Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.

RACE FOB NEGRO MISSIONS.
Hottest Diplomatic Contests Are for
Librarian and Haytian Posts.

Washington, March 13.-Quite the
iveliest contest for any of the appoint
ments in the Diplomatic Corps to be
made by President Wilson is the one
now being brought actively to his at
tentiOn for the Hsytian mission. This
Is one Of the two berths sought by
Negroes in the foreign legations of the
United States; the other being the post
Of Minister to Liberia. There is an
applicant for the Haytian mission from
every State in the Union in which
there is q large Negro population as
well as several from other States. In
fact, more Of the prominent men of
the Neg1O race are serambling for the
Haytian than for the Liberian post.
There are three candidates from In
diana for Minister to Hayti; New York
City has likewise a trio Of aspirants
for that Office. The present American
Minister to Hsyti is Henry Watson
Furniss of indianapolis, and he has
been filing the post since 1906. 1t is
being argued in behalf of some of the
candidates from other States that since
Minister Furniss is from Indiana that
State should not receive the appoint
ment at this time.
Among the score or more candidates,
all Negro leaders, for this diplomatic
post, those most prominent in the race,
and whose claims and qualifications are
being most aggressively urged, are
James D. Carr Of New York City, who
has been Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci for New York City since 1904;
Rufus L. Perry, and N. B. Marshall,
both Of New York City; Dr.. ]. b
Oliver Of Brazil, Ind; DR.. G. W. Buck
ner Of Evansville, Ind, and Thomas J.
Turner, another Indianian. Those
whose Endorsements appear to be the
strongest are Carr and Oliver Of In
diana. Carr Is the only Negro who was
ever graduated from Rutgers College,
and President Wilson has been In
formed that Can was the first Negro
prosecuting attorney in the North.
Letters of indOrsement Of him have
been laid before the President from

OF all the people who die in this
country each year 81 peg cent are
babies under Eve years of age; and of
these 100000 die from the preventable
diseases and approximately 10000 of
these die during the first year of life.
It is often asserted that here in the
United States people are burning their
life candles at both ends. That this is
true is borne out by the fact that in
the United States the death rate above
the age Of 40 has increased % per
cent since 1880. This means that the
diseases of old age are reaching down
into the younger age periods.
1t costs money to carry on public
health work that, if properly per-
formed, means the lessening Of need
less disease and suffering. And in this
battle between the dollar and the death
rate If only the dollars are provided
and wisely used, the victory for human
health and happiness can be won In
this day and age good health is a
commodity and can be bought, but the
people must be willing to pay the cost.
That was q broadminded clergyman
who recently in one of his sermons as
serted that God does not fix the death
rate. There are many agencies that
contribute to maintaining a high death
rate; and chief among these are those
persons who think that disease and
death are sent by Divine Providence
as a punishment for our sins. Then
come those who hout at all health laws
and refuse to even be taught how to
do the things that make for community
health and safety.
Pneumonia, well named the "New
Captain of the Men Of Death" was
busy during the entire month of Feb
ruary having a total of 646 deaths to
its credit; an average of % deaths each
day or practically one death every hour
during the month from this disease
alone. Taking the estimated cost of
each Of these GAG funerals at $4,000,
pneumonia then Melted the under
takers of Chicago So, 800 in just %
lays. And to this may safely be added
another $4,000 for doctors bills, max
ing an active total of $74,sOO for the
month. Verify, disease and death cost
money.
For the week ended March LIST, 1s9
persons in Chicago were killed with
a dirty-air disease. This
means that for every hour of the day
md night during the week mentioned
iOme one in Chicago was killed by a !
lreventable disease. As a matter of |
act these figures do not quite tell the
ale of slaughter; for there were 81
leaths for each Of the seven days of |
he week. Think of it, 1S9 deaths in
even days from just one disease that
'eOple need not have if only they
would look more carefully after the
'urity of their. air supply. Think
gain, 1s7 funerals in one week, which
It an average cost Of only 10000
aeh, means that for the week named,
'neumOnia cost the people of this city,
IS 200 for undertakers' services alone,
aging nothing about other expenses in
