THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dir
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not n
woman in a 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 ver
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to ecover. Following
right upon this comes the strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy 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 m
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, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

O CRUEL SCIENCE.

welding the cruel hudgeon of fact. has In
vaded the stronghold of sentiment, disregarded
the tender feelings OF ali concerned. and dashed

dearly beloved Of all institutions, the inspira-
ton Of the mid-victorian novelist, and the hero
of all time, the disappointed lover singing his

and told in chilling tones that If his heart
breaks It is his own fault. All this happened
when Or. Maurice de Fleury originator Of the

his serum. but insists that by II course of ex

the cold scientific fact Is known that If he but

VIRGINIA APPLES.

How many people know what feature in the
agricultural phase of Virginia Is its apple crop?
Everybody of course, knows that Virginia pro-
duces quite a large number Of barrels OF ap-
pies a year. and in a vague sort of way believe
that there lis large amount Of money invested
in apples, but how many really know?
The Virginia Horticulture society in its ex-
hbt at Seventh and Franklin streets demon
strates to some extent what Virginia Is doing
in this growing field of agricultural endeavors.
The exhibit of Virginagrown apples is as fine
as could be gotten together anywhere, and the
samples shown are just typical of the whole
crop.
Until the last few years the Virginia apple
was almost unadvertised, and was looked upon
as rather profitable side crop. Today the COM
nercial- orchard is- supreme In the mountains
and Piedmont section, and thousands of trees
are set out annually.
When apples are mentioned naturally
That section has been advertised until the whole
country knows of II, and apple farms bring
fabulous prices. AS matter Of fact. the Hood
river section neither produces finely favored
apples nor nearly SO large a crop Virginia.
Shenandoah county alone produces more apples
than the whole state OF Oregon and in the opin-
flavor.
