Talks on Thrift.

"The little savings bank in the home

dyen of family, almost, than all of the
advice in the world. 1t gives them the
right start. William Mckinley.
In the last annual report of the post,
master general it was shown that more
than 1000 cases of fraudulent use of the
mails by swindling promoters were in
vestigated last year. More than 1000
Of the promoters were arrested, and
hundreds were convicted. In the last
two years, the reports says, these men
have robbed the American people of
$lOO,OOO,OOO.
In recent message to the New York
legislature, Governor Sulzer said: "One
of the most widespread of public griev-

A bill has been introduced into the

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 ono
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 a 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 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, most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

A TRIBUTE TO MORGAN.

The editor of this political and
moral guide would be a hypocrite if
he professed to believe that the death
of John Pierpont Morgan is a loss to
the world. On the contrary, he be-
lieves that, from the viewpoint of
eternal justice, Morgan was as truly
a robber as was the celebrated pirate
of the same name. His methods of
dealing with competitors were as VIC
lative OF the divine law and as ruth
less as those of the black flag gentry
who forced their unfortunate captive
to walk the plank" His latest victim
was poor Stillwell, who wore out his
life building the Kansas City, Mexico
and Orient Railroad through a desert
country and was crushed by Morgan
in the hour of success. 1t is true he
escaped conviction and punishment by
the law, but so did the medieval
barons who made a business of high
way robbery. A wise man once said
that human laws are like cobwebs,
which catch gnats and flies while
wasps and hornets dash through. Nor
gan was one OF the hornets. 1t is
good thing for the world to be rid of
him-East Texas Register.
