How rhev Measured.

From the meadow the road began
to ascend, and about noon we started
to climb Greeley Hill-a thirteen mile
road leading to its summit. AS the
afternoon began to wane, and we had
zigzagged our way over what seemed
to us thirteen miles of road, we met a
resident of the region and ventured to
ask him how they measured miles in
that country.

and when he drops dead, that's mile,

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 un-
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 shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
Ahappy 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.

Johnson Will Not
Yield to Players
In the American

CHICAGO. April 133.--'There will be
garding the handling of players who
come under the ban of umpires and
league presidents This was the gist
of a statement made by B. b. Johnson,
president of the American league up
on receipt of a letter from David
Fultz. president Of the recently or
ganized baseball players fraternity.
The letter. which was made public
In a report from New York the day
previous, contained a request that the
leagues revise the customary proce-
dure in disciplining players. The prin-
cipal request was that players be Civ
en- hearing before being handed sus-
pensions or suffering fines.
The present system is the only pos
sible way in which baseball can be
conducted as II is" said johnson. The
umpires are the presidents personal
representatives on the ball field and
his word must carry weight We
brought baseball out OF chaos by the
adoption Of the present code of laws,
and there is no reason for a change.
The players fraternity asks that the
player be given the right to file his
side of the argument whenever a con-
troversy arises. This right is not de-
MED man now, but ] am certain that
whenever an umpire files a report of
misconduct with me he does not ex-
aggerate the case. II such an instance
arise | would not hesitate to cut the
umpire involved from the pay roll
If the public, or even the entire
colony OF the big league ball PLAYERS,
could see all the reports made on
cases of misconduct it would be seen
quite readily that the player is usually
the offender Nine -tenths of cases
brought to my attention arise from
players using unprintable language on
the field. If there is excuse for such
the players are welcome to consult me
personally, or by mail. I don't know
how President Lynch, OF the National
league, feels in the matter. but ! am
sure he will see the necessity OF vest
ing the umpires with supreme author
fty."
