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

The experience of Motherhood is Try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
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 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
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 am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindiy 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.

Zoe Bush Makes
$1,000 First Year
in Major League

CLEv EI4AND. Jan. 24.--Joe Leslie
Bush will probably so down in base
ball history az the youth who earned
more money in his first season in the
major league than any other player
A conservative estimate of Bushels
earning capacity during 1913 makes
him loom up $1,000 better off than
the year previous.
Tho chances are Bush was down
on the Athletics payroll for some
thing like $2,500 for the regular play
ing season. OF course. he got full
share of the winning end of the worlds
series receipts, which amounted 10
tS,244, for the very good reason thai
he was entitled to 1t, this boosting
his total to 1854.
Where did the remainder Of the
money come from that boosted his
total to $1,000 or more? Well. that's
dmple enough. Connie Mack is one
man who never forgets the good work
Of any man during the regular play
