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 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
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health on
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.

WHY?

The Northern Neck News asks few pertinent
questions OF Richmond and Of Richmond people,
basing them upon the following extract from the
prize essay of Alexander Forward. read before
the recent session here of the State Press asso-
citation;
Every virginian is proud of his capital city
end proud Of his State, II Is painful to see the
bulk Of the commerce OF two of the richest sec
lions 81 Virginia diverted to Washington and
baltimore Most Of Tidewater and nearly all Of
the Valley Of Virginia trade with outside cities.
Worse than the loss Of commerce is the loss OF
citizenship. Young men Of these sections, IN
s;ead Of going to Richmond and other Virginia
cities drift 10 Baltimore and Washington, where
their home people trade They build up bust
ness connections with the folk back home that
will last for generations and the loss Of good
blood becomes appalling There should De
united effort FOR railroad to the Rappahannock,
and for adequate railroad facilities between the
upper Valley and Richmond.
Hers are some OF the pertinent questions the
Northern Neck Neics wants answered:
Why don't the men Of Richmond who have
capital or who are in a position to get outside
capital 70 to work and get it and build rail
road and make direct trade with us thing &C
eon,plfshed instead OF hing 10 write gushing
editorials and press association essays about?
WHY
The Ne,cs declares that Richmond could get
back in time the trade that now goes to BaltF
more. il Richmond capital would build railroad
to the Northern Neck. The people Of that sec
ton of Virginia. II says, have laid before the
people Of Richmond the immense possibilities
Of trade with them I'VE have laid before
them truthful statement of own resources and
amazing industrial possibilities. We have
donated rights of way and contributions Dased
on adjacent acreage. AS much as we love fieh-
rnond and admire her splendid business men
we are impelled to ask If 1t be possible that
some of the mossbacks are In that town.
Are there many mossbacks here? We believe
not and. consequently, We believe that Richmond
can be awakened to the necessity OF pushing to
completion railroad to the Northern Neck of
Virginia.

situation Is worse In Omaho than II Is in the

perhaps worse everywhere than the average per-

Cocaine is the drug that Is doing the big dam

brought to book because of some infraction of
the criminal code that is directly traceable to
drugs and mainly to cocaine.
The cocaine habit in this State Is believe.
approximately confined to the colored race But
a cocaine-crazed negro is dangerous TO whites
as he is to his own race. The strictest regula-
tons regarding its should prevail.
The Omaha paper says that Omaha druggists
do not hesitate to sell dope" The average
North Carolina druggist does hesitate to sell the
stuff and therein lies great source OF comfort
and satisfaction to the people of the State who
want to the State saved from the curse OF an
indiscriminate use of cocaine. But while the
average North Carolina druggist is high -toned
man who would not stoop to make money out of
always more or less secret traffic in harmful
drugs and the utmost vigilance should be taken
to prevent such traffic from growing and to
reduce its ravages.

all such drugs, the Legislature the next time 1t
meets will have opportunity to meet very
real need of the State.-Raleigh News and
