The highest point Of woman's hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasPing of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to-
be is often fearful of natures ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering Incl
dent to its contamination. But for
natures ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mothers
Friend is to be found a medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
1t is an emulsion for external
application, composed OF ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. 1t is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing through which the mother usually
passes. The regular use of Mothers
Friend will repay any mother in the
comfort it affords before, and the help
full restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.

half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was leeway
Of "a hours, after that there was a
nne OF fve cents each day for fail
lure to. get through the prescribed
reading.
+ Twice a month the club meets for
discussion Of the reading done and to
collect fines OF delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told OF this club
says: mo one knows what 1t has

kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,

drifting into dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would

Especially If you live In. small

Is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious

with planning half-hour reading
