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 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 experi- ence with an organism unftted 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 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 unexp1ainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and breken 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 B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.

VIII BE Sent to Jails.

the sheriffs of the various counties
of the State who have prisoners in
the S,ate penitentiary for safe-keep-
ing that the penitentiary would

Gained; that it is reelection on the
law~abiding citizens of the various
counties to have The prisoners still
lodged in the State penitentiary.
All of the prisoners who have been
convicted of murder and Of criminal
assault have appealed from the judg-
ments of the Circuit Courts, which
automatically suspends the death
sentence. Governor Blease, in his
letter to the sheriffs, says that the
prisoners will have to be sent to

enced or re-sentenced, and they
might as well be sent to their proper

FOUGHT DEATH FOR ONE WEEK.
Case of Macon Financier Puzzled
Physicians OF Entire Country.

Macon, Ca, May 22.-B. Sanders
Walker, banker, died here this
morning m the effects of BIZ
| chloride tablet which he swallowed
by mistake one week ago. Young
Walkers remarkable fight against
| an inevitable death was watched
with interest from one end of the
country to the other, and groups OF
physicians gathered b"re and there
| and discussed the wonderful consti-
tuition of the young man in warding
off death for three days longer than
it was thought possible. The situa-
tion was extremely puzzling to ply
sicians and Is unsolvable. The young
man maintained consciousness until
yesterday afternoon, and when he
passed into Inconsistencies the last
hope was given over
Although warned from the first
that death undoubtedly awaited him,
the banker released not his buoyant
spirit, and at all times pleaded that
he be allowed to speak with mem
bers of his family and especially his
wife, who stood up remarkably well
under the unusual circumstances.
He said he had no fear Of i'll conse-
quences. Before losing conscious
ness he repeated these sentences: "If
this be dying then none need fear its
terrors," and "If l am dying the sem
sation is not as unpleasant as it is
generally pictured"
When announcement of his death
came, Macon was shrouded in sor-
row. The Walker home is COM
pletely surrounded by the friends of
the deceased, and the members of
the household are being administer
ed unto from thousand sympathet-
ic friends. The deceased was one of
the best known young men of Maco1.
and to him Is attributed much OF
the success of the city and especially
to the present boom that has be-
sieged 1t.
Mr.. Walker had been married five
years and is survived by a wife and
one child, a son.
Another Takes Poison.
Sioux City, Iowa, May 22.-After
swallowing three bichloride OF mer-
curry tablets last night, Robert Pal
mer. a member of wealthy family
of Sioux City, to-day is awaiting
slow death from the poison.
Palmer was in hotel when he
took the tablets. He rushed into
the street shouting: 1--WE done it;
I've done it," A policeman over
powered him and he was sent to a
hospital where it was reported that
Palmer was resigned to his fate.
