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. or 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
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing ia
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, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

cotton market.
From among the great mass Of bills
that were presented. two became the

and the other TO make # a misdemean-
or TO plant cotton during 1915 While
the Legislators appeared in favor OF

Der. Washingtonians thronged the
styles show and gazed in wonder at
the many dainty creations made ex-
clusively from cotton materials by the
modistes. In other cities cotton balls
have been the leading social func-
lions, and the populariZing of cotton
made garments has become q national
movement.
cities joined heartily in the movement.
Some of the stores set aside a week
when special sales of cotton goods
and cotton-made garments were held.
Much space was used in their show
windows for the display of the great
variety or garments made from cotton
goods. Though general In character.
Doth or these movements have had q
wholesome effect in stimulating the
demand for cotton-made goods, which.
OF course, will mean the consumption
or thousands of additional bales by
American mills.
In New York City the Federation Of
Women's clubs with a membership
of about 100000 have taken up the
movement to encourage buying more
cotton goods and the wearing Of more
garments made from cotton cloth. The
officers OF this organization have sent
an urgent appeal to the members ask
ing them to aid their southern sisters
by using cotton goods whenever pos
sible.
The American Association of Cotton
Manufacturers have been awake to the
opportunities which the inability Of
the European countries to use Ameri-
can cotton has afforded them, and are
making preparations for a greater out
put of cotton cloth than has ever been
produced by American mills. During a
recent meeting of the national asso-
citation at LenoX, Mass, the question
of the manufacture of more cotton
cloth and the providing Of markets
for their output was taken into con
sideration.

Egypt has not only suffered from the

growers OF Egypt made only about
one-half Of their normal crop When
the Egyptians realized the cotton sit

Germans about their so-cslled brilliant

The partial displacements Of our

and can have no bearing upon a check
that might have been inflicted upon us
by the enemy in the course Of a battle
extending over an enormous front Such
occurrences in either direction are in
evitable. Retreat at one point is com

The right bank Of the vistula has been
entirely cleaned up. The enemy. after
a serious defeat in the region of the
Mlawa, was thrown back upon his own
territory.
In south Poland and in eastern Galicia
the German offensive has been stopped
absolutely.
All efforts Of the garrison Of Przemsyl
to force the blockade have been victori-
ously defeated.
Under these circumstances there can
be no question Of allowing Warsaw to
fall into the hands Of the enemy.
The untruths which the German gen
eral staff are trying TO spread may find
their excuse in the necessity OF giving
heart TO the German people and Of in

tries in favor of Germany Neither the
proceeding nor its employment are new
