to see the campaign made a success
can greatly assist if they have teams
by donating their use for day or two
The campaign is making fine
progress and thus far everything has
gone along smoothly. The boy scouts,
who made inspections, have found
some very filthy yards and alleys and
all Of these reports were yesterday
turned over to the city. The latter
will now force the owners under the
sanitary laws, to clean up their premi-
SEES and will send out inspectors today
and tomorrow to serve notices on peo-

Parties who have cleaned up their
premises and who want the garbage
moved can call up the city clerk and
he will send a garbage cart out to
move it.
The general committee is hard at
work each day and the children have
become interested greatly in the cam

1t is Just Natural
To Admire Babies

Our altrustIc nature inpeis love for the
cooling infant. And at the same time
the subject Of motherhood is ever before
u.s. To know what to do that will add
to the physical comfort OF expectant
motherhood is a subject that has inter
ested most women of all times. One of
the real helpful things IS an external
abdominal application sold in most drug
stores under the name Of Mothers
Friend We have known so many grand
mothers, who in their younger days
relied upon this remedy, and who recon-
mend It to their own daughters that it
certainly must be what its name indf-
Gates. They have used it for it's direct
influence upon the muscles, cords, liga-
ments and tendons as it aims to afford
relief from the strain and pain so often
unnecessarily severe during the period OF
expectancy.
Every woman should mention Mothers
Friend" when the stork is the subject of
conversation. An interesting little book
is mailed free upon application to Brad
field Regulator Co. 405 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga. It refers to many things
that women like to read about.
