As a lawyer Mr.. Goodwin was a
brilliant success. He advanced stead
lily in his chosen profession and won
the reputation of being one OF the
keenest, ablest and best practitioners
in the State. In politics he was ag
gressive, energetic and did not know
what discouragemen meant As a
legislator he was independent OF
thought, original and painstakinG
The loss 10 the town
where he lived and which he loved;
to the state and congressional district
which he served and labored for and
to the political party which trusted
and admired him cannot be estimated
But it is as the man and the friend
that Forrest Goodwin will be the long
est remembered \ face. wreathed IN
smiles. even when the smiles OF others
had been driven away by adverse cir
cumstances. eyes which sparkled
with humor or grew dim with tears
of sympathy Tor others misfortuues,
hand which grasped the hand OF
friendship with the firm warmth o!
sincerity; lips which were eloquent
and never lisped words of rancor or
of unkindness; a heart so big that Il
could beat for all the world-these are
the things which those who kneS

The qualities which made Forrest
Goodwin great were his genuineness,
his industry, his understanding and
appreciation of and interest in hui
mainly, and, as a natural resulting
quality, his unfaltering loyalty and
patriotism. Forrest Goodwin was a
genuine man. He hated sham. He
took life seriously in that it was his
constant effort to grow in intellectual
power and to do all that one individu-
al could do to assist and encourage a
similar growth everywhere.-Portland

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS

That CONGRESSMAN Goodwin would
have proved an able representative
from Maine had his life been spared
may be safely assumed. He was a
strong Republican, and the Republi-
can party in this State sustains a
severe loss by his death. Personally,
the late Congressman was man OF
many fine qualities; notable speci-
men of the self-reliant, purposeful.
energetic Maine men who win their
way to the front by sheer force of
character and merit. His untimely
passing away in the prime of his life
and intellectual power will be deeply
regretted by the people of his home
State.-Daily Eastern Argus.

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 @he 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
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 ali 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.
