Reason Why.

She was dear, old fashioned
modest, simple maiden lady So that
when she announced the fact that she

her great friend was duly astonished
I didn't know you suffered from
corns,' remarked the latter, when the
news was first broken to her.
i DON'T" replied the old lady mild
~, albeit firmly; neither am l af-
ficted with bunions, chilblains, nor
any other pains in the feet
Her friend gazed at her with grow
ing CONSERVATION.
Then, my DEAR" she demonstrated
gently, what on earth do you want
to visit a chiropodist for?''
The little old lady's cheeks bIushed
delicate pink as she leaned forward,
laid one mittened hand on her interro-
gators arm and whispered:
It's this way, my dear I do SO
want to be able to boast that at least
once in my life l had man at my
feet"

Thread narrow satin ribbon through
the top to form a drawstring, and fin

vanity bag can be decorated with an
embroidered monogram or a wreath
of forget-me-nots and foliage en-
broidered with pale pink, blue or
white silk to match the ribbon used.
This latter makes an especially dainty
decoration, and is easily done, as the

The foundation dress consists Of a
skirt Of blue crepe meteor gathered at
the waist and opening down one side
with the front edge turned under,
draped little and rounded away just
above the instep in front. The under

EXPERIENCE
Of MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a 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 unified 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 q distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF
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, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

SUGAR EXPORTS |
lRB(8BaE@R
2i3,54o Tons Of Product frofl
4 Philippines for u. S. and
pE Elsewhere S ard

MANII4A.-The largest amount OF
sugar In the history Of the Philip
pines since the American occupation
was exported during the fiscal year
1913 just closed, namely 213,540 tons.
valued at lS,993,0S0 pesos. Notwith-
standing the big shipments during the
year. which were greater by 1854
tons than during fiscal year 1912, the
value of the sugar exported shows a
marked decrease, being ISIS, 070 pesos
less than I'm 1912. In fact the average
price per ton for the sugar exported
during fiscal year 1913, which was 49,.
80 pesos, is the lowest on record since
1909.
During the closing months of the
fiscal year 1912 there was an unusual
inactivity in the local sugar trade,
que to the fact that large stocks were
being held In warehouses awaiting an
anticipated rise in price. To a great
extent these stocks we're disposed OF
during the opening months Of the fis-
cal year 1913 and 1t Is due principally
to this fact that the exports OF sugar
during the year just closed have been
the greatest in history.
Another interesting fact noted in
the shipments of sugar during the
fiscal year just closed is that the ma
jority of the sugar exported went to
countries other than the United
states. Heretofore the United States
has offered higher price for our
sugar, and consequently the greater
majority of this product exported went
to the homeland. During the fiscal
year 1912 slight increase was noted
in the shipments to countries other
than the United States, but as the
production in 1912 was greater than
in 1911. no great attention. was paid
to this increase. During both the
fiscal year 1911 and 1912, So per cent
of all sugar exported went to the
United States. including Hawaii. this
year only sS,976 tons. valned at 1870
$50 pesos, or only SO per cent of the
total, found its destination in the
homeland, a decrease Of A per cent.
