The human being who is popular is
sometimes accused of being ali things
to all men. and there is a cant phrase
much in vogue among the unpopular
about caring only for a few people and
being cared for by only a few" And
this serves frequently as an easy excuse
for the unpopularity of the dull or the
disagreeable.
To be a popular individual In any
community of self-respectlng and NOR
ally disposed citizens, and to grow in
popularity with acquaintance and time,
calls for nobility of character, purity of
purpose and Kindness of heart.
1t calls also for tact. for discretion,
for good Judgment. for unselishness,
for generosity, for amiability and the
power, to. bring out the best in others.

The woman who desires to be popu-

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

The experience of Motherhoodisa Is try
ing ore 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
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 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 blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
npon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
