Mothers Tell of
Mothers Friend

Experience is or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and noblest of all sacrifices, the
struggle for the life of others, should
have a better idea of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation.
At any rate when a prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did-to use Mothers Friend" there is
reason to believe 1t the right advice.
Mothers Friend is an external ap-
plication for expectant mothers. Its pur-
pose is to furnish plancy to the muscles.
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments, to relieve the tension OF nerves
and tendons SO apt to provoke or ag-
gravate nausea. morning sickness, twitch-
ings of the limbs and so on.
, Although, in the nature of things, a
woman would use Mothers Friend but
but rarely, yet so effective has 1t been
found that this splendid remedy is on sale
in most drug stores throughout the
United States. 1t has been prepared by
Bradfield Regulator Co., 406 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ca. and advertised by us for
over forty years. This is a fine record
for such special remedy and the grate-
full letters received to-day are just as
appreciative as were those Of years age
notwithstanding that methods are sup
posed to have greatly advanced. Ask al
the drug store for bottle OF mother

HIT BY A METEOR

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 22.-Juan
Jose Batanch, a sheep herder, was
brought to Santa Fe yesterday with a
dangerous scalp wound, received in
Santa Fe canyon and which he de-
clares was inflicted by a meteorite.
Batanch has an injury which physi-
clans say looks like burn from light
ming. But they also say it has some
peculiarities not usually found in an
electrical accident The man himself,
who is conscious, asserts that it was
not lightning that injured him but a
rcck which fell on him out of the sky.
Many meteorites have been falling
during the past few nights in the high
mountains hereabouts and it is believ-
ed entirely probable that Batanch re-
ceived his injury from a heavenly
missile.

DUCK SEASON CHANGED

Santa Fe N. NJ, Aug. 22.-The

been changed by an order of the de-
partment of agriculture in Washing

January 16, instead of opening Sep
tember l and closing December 16,
Il do not know why this change was
made" said Game and Fish Warden
r. G. de Baca today, unless it was
due to certain complaints sent to
Washington by people who entertain
the erroneous impression that wild
ducks breed during September. The
order affects New Mexico principally
and am not sure that it will meet
with the hearty approval of sports

AMERICANS WILL HAVE
A PLACE To VISIT
FRISCO FAIR WILL BE OBJECTIVE
POINT INSTEAD OF EUROPE
IN 1915

That attendance at the Panama Pa
cific International exposition at San
Francisco next year will be increased
rather than diminished by the Euro
pean war is the belief of those who
have looked carefully into the situa-
ton. They declare the disturbance on
the continent will prevent large num-
bers of Americans from making the
trip across the Atlantic. These people
will want to travel somewhere, and
the chances are they will determine to
take advantage of the opportunity to
see their own country.
The management of the exposition
has announced that the war will not
interfere with the fair, and it will
prove a mecca for those Americans
who have been deprived of their an
npal trip to Europe. Automobile traf-
fic as well as travel by rail, from the
east and middle west to the Pacific
coast is expected to be heavy next
year.

London, Aug. 22.-Englands lack of

London's wonderful hospitals, where
the visitors have been watching opera

DR.. Franklin H. Martin, of Chicago,
general secretary of the congress, felt
this condition keenly as he had a
touch of appendicitis during his visit
to London and then learned that the
hospitals he had been admiring would

95 per cent of this number will obey
the call.
The society is the body officially re-
cognized by the war department, and
acts under the direction of the ad-
miralty and war office. in conjunction
with the hospital staff. It's present
organization and status is due to the
lessons of the South African war when
various independent nursing societies
some of them poorly managed and all
interfering with each others move
ments, caused the authorities no end
of trouble. The result was that all
societies were amalgamated and put
under one head.
The forms of aid of the society In
clude the provision and equipment of
hospital ships and trains, hospitals and
Iconvalescent homes, clothing, medical
supplies, food and comforts for the

IWithstanding the fact that the English
man boasts that he travels light COM
pared with the average American. The
only way that this great amount can
be explained is that the Englishman
invariably sends his luggage in ad
vance and thus pays for what ordin-
arily the companies would carry for
nothing. Here, as elsewhere. every
passenger is allowed a fixed amount
of baggage. The rate on excess. like
that in America, is fairly heavy. and
this together with the big revenue de-
rived from carrying baggage in ad-
vance, which has to pay certain rate,
helps to make up the forty millions
that are added to the companies re-

The call to the colors for the con-

feet on London restaurants, hotels
and boarding houses. London became
almost waiterless.
The old fashioned English waiter is

deeply regretted by the older genera
ton of English, because of his intelli
gent service, which he regarded as one
of the fine arts, and his respectful de-
meanor. But he could not Withstand
the competition of the cheaper living
foreigner.
While French and Italian servants
have been attracted to London by the
better pay, a large part of the Ger
mans have come over for the sole pur-
pose of learning English. Even street
cal conductors and taxi drivers in
most iof TIE German cities are COM
PEELED to know English, and the know

English and master English business
methods. Their leaving has largely

1.-The injustice worked on the paying
patient may be serious, as nursing and
private homes can not afford expen-
sive apparatus such as the latest X
ray machines and the like"
DR.. Martin has only praise for the
Rritish surgeons. He believes them
to be fundamentally better equipped
for their profession than the Ameri-
can. By this he means preliminary
training and the necessity of each
English surgeon being fellow of the
Royal College of Surgeons, which
standardizes requirements.
The average English surgeon is
more deliberate in the technical per-
formance of his work than the aver
age American or Frenchman,' DR..
Martin declared.
Whether a physician should adopt

dear a look of businesslike solemnity,
is the controversy raised in the Lon

treated by a third rate doctor with
genial features than first rate man
of repellant countenance.
"The old fashioned type, who en-
tered rubbing his hands, poked the
patient in the ribs and started to
tell him jokes" replies one physi-
cion, would have hard time hold
ing his practice these days"
Another writer answers that the
doctor liked by the best modern pa
tient is the one who listens gravely
and ends by saying, 81 know exactly
what the trouble is" The main rea-
son why the grave doctor is liked is
because he is a good listener, and pa
