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 I'M
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 aishock 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 il
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with ann
pie time in which to prepare, women
win persist in going blindly 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.

HOUGHTON, MICH. - Governor
Ferris has wound up his personal
work in the copper strike district and
gone to his home in Big Rapids
Il got what / came for" he said, as
he stepped aboard the train. This
strike can not be settled in week or
a fortnight. l think that if it we're
left to the miners and employers
themselves it would be settled very
quickly. it is the advice of the out
sider-and this is somewhat venture
some thing to say-that is likely to
do more than anything to prolong
this strike"
The governor said he thought the
present an inopportune time for ex-
ecutive action calling attention to the
fact that the judicial machinery Of
the state is in full swing.
Evctions Become Big Issue.
Two additional eviction cases were
related to the governor, and it became
evident that this phase Of the situa-
ton is likely to assume major proper
tions soon. The men who told their
stories were strikers from the WinOna
mine.
Theodore Dessenette said that his
furniture was thrown out Thursday,
and was still in the snow. His wife
and four children, ranging in age
from ten to eighteen years, he said,
were housed with neighbors. Josip
Burcar, whose family consists of four
children, the eldest less than five
years old, said he was not sure his
family had been evicted, but that this
action had been threatened He said
he got letter a month ago, but could
not read, and therefore did not know
it's contents. He said one of his chill
dren was sick, and that the doctor at
Winona wouldn't come for nothing"
This brought action from the gov
ernor. Turning to Dan Sullivan, pres,
ident of the unions district council, he
told hmi to see that the strike relief
provide a doctor at once Sullivan eX-
planned that Durcar had made no re-
port of the illness to his union.
Sullivan said that he recognized the
union would have to meet the eviction
situation soon. He thought that ar
rangements could be made for shelter
ing and feeding families in halls or
commons.
Twenty-three May Be Indicted.
The Western Federation of Miners,
through the attorneys representing
them in the copper country, will at

grounds of illogality. The charge is
made by them that Attorney General
Grant Fellows was present in the
grand jury room when Charles H
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, testified regarding
the deportation and assault charges
made by him against the citizens Of
Hancock
Twenty-three names are said to be
