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 a hundred is prepared or IN
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
a 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 tine should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

 The first of Miss Murphy's turkeys will go to the Rock Nook Home. the second to the Sheltering Arms and the turkey from the flock of MT. Hiscox will go to the county home.
 However grand and lordly the three prize winning birds looked in life, it Is safe to say that those who sit around the table whech they are to grace will unite in agreeing that they could make no more commanding ap- peal to their admiration than they will when all done to a rich brown, with drumsticks pointed to the skies, they lie awaiting the carver's knife Cn Thanksgiving day.
 One of the finest lots of turkeys brought into the city on Thursday came from the Ledyard farm of c. \. Gray. There were 43 that weighed a total of 556 pounds and they were all taken by one dealer. One particular point about Mr Gray's turkeys was the excellent appearance they made through the care with which they had been picked and one man who has seen many turkey displays said they were the finest lot he had ever seen. By the middle of Tuesday afternoon the dealer had sold all of the lot ex- cept fifteen.

Quality was stamped all over the turkeyS brought in this year by the ra1sers of New London and Win3ham counties for the annual prize competl- tlon held by The Bulletin so that the Judges and others who saw them and had seen the champion birds of other years which this competition always brings out had no hesitation in say ing that the 1913 entries made the best lot that had ever been presented.

 The competing birds were brought In from nearly all the towns in this section of New London county. Tine young ones averaged over 18 pou ds each
 For the $10 first prize for young turkeys Miss Katharine C.

COURSE IN MUSIC
Adopted for Bennington, Vt, High School as Suggested by Principal Frederick D. Mabrey.

The current issue of the Boston Journal of Education in it's Benning- ton, Vt, news says: Principal F. D. Mabrey of the high school has inaug- urated an extra mural course in music Tor which full credit 6 credits) may be earned in either of two ways
 l. School orchestra The members must attend all rehearsaIs one credit being lost for each two absences above three during the year; the orchestra must play for any school affair: tests in harmony and history of music must be passed satisfactorily; and progress must be made in ability to read and interpret orchestral music
 H. Instrumental and vocal instruc- ton. These credits are limited to members of the new general course (VocationaD. Full credit is given un- der the following conditions:
 l. Two lessons per week, certified by the instructor upon forms supplied by the school.
 ?. Three hours practice per week; certified by parent
 3. Monthly test by the instructor in music. The test includes the playing Of a prepared exercise and sight work
 In September a system of no home work for freshmen was started in the high school. It was hoped that in this way the break between the grade sys- tenn and the departmental plan of teaching would be less great. To this end two consecutive periods of forty minutes each were assigned to three subjects. leaving one, history, to be divided into two twenty minute De- riods. With the exception of the lat ter subject. the plan has met with great success. Because of a more in- timate personal acquaintance with each pupil teachers have been en- abled to overcome the newness and strangeness which were the cause of so many failures and each of the rec itations has assumed a laboratory as pect and each pupil receives as much instruction, beyond a required min imum, as he is able to assimilate The few pupils who cannot reach the min mum have a firm grasp of the sub ject as far as they go instead of vague view of the whole Owing to its success the plan, which was to be tried out for two months has been adopted for the half year at least by the unanimous vote of the faculty

BANKRUPT ESTATE CLOSED.
Thirty Gents on Dollar Coming to
 Yetto WuIf's Creditors.

The final account in the bankrupt cy estate of Yetto Wulf of Colchester was presented before Referee in Bank Tuptcy Amos A. Browning Saturday morning and the estate closed. A year ago an offer of 30 cents on the dollar was made 10 the creditors and those whose accounts were approved were ordered paid by the court. Creditors who had their claims approved at that time received the 30 cents on the dol- lar As the law allows one year for the presentation of claims, several claims were rendered subsequent to the first payment. These the court has had approved and they are now order ed paid in the same way
 The approval of bills and other mat ters that were to be attended to by the referee in bankruptcy in the case of the Yantic Woolen company, which were to have been attended to, were carried over, as several of those inter ested had engagements that kept them away from the court
