THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Phys.
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 united for tho
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 il
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 il going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
tnvigorator of the female organism.

Winter Clothing Issued

Butte, Mont-Two additional ar
rests were made Sunday by the Ma
tional Guard of Montana, which is
keeping peace in Butte by maintaining
martial law. The men arrested are
Herbert Cary and William O'Brien,
both charged with kidnapping. They
we're members of the deportation com
mittee of the Mineworkers' Union.
O'Brien was temporary chairman of
the Mineworkers' Union when it was
first formed and in the election for
permanent officers he was candidate
for president in opposition to Muck
lie" Mcdonald. No riot calls were turn
ed in and the bulk of the state guards
rested within military lines. Catholic
and Protestant services were held in
the courthouse for the men. Two hun
dred members of the National Guard
who have failed to report in Butte are
to be brought here under guard. Of
ficers with warrants were dispatched
to the mems homes.
Every indication points to a pro
longed stay of the militia here. TheiI
winter overcoats will arrive soon, and
the camp is being fitted up for Ions
stay.
The Butte Typographical Unior
passed a resolution asking that the sa
looms be kept closed during the time
that martial law prevails here. Be

WASTE LAND MADE FERTILE
Remarkable Results Have Followed
Experiments Only Recently
Undertaken in Egypt.

AS an indication of the ultimate out
come in the great delta of Egypt,
where 100000 acres of wash salt
land awaits development, toward the
end of 1912 about 800 acres of abso-
lutely waste land at Biala were taken
in hand. The land was so heavily i'm
pregnated with salt that for ages moth
ing had grown on it. A scientific sys-
tenn of irrigation and drainage was
laid out. under direction of Lord
Kitchener, at a cost of $50 an acre,
and 1t was then handed over to the
fellaheen in five-acre plots for culti-
walton. Last year the land was wash
ed, and crop of rice was grown, Civ
ing a satisfactory yield. After the
rice crop the salt distribution was
measured, and the percentage was
considerably reduced. To the great
establishment of the fellaheen cultiva-
tors, a permanent result had been
achieved in one year, which under the
ordinary system prevailing in the
country would have taken three OF
four years to accomplish. Cotton is
now, therefore, being satisfactorily
grown on a fair proportion of this
area, and L 3 expected that it will
bring from SIS to 800 an acre.

Millions in China in
Need Because of Flood

Washington, D. C.-Twelve months
famine, which only outside aid can
avert, faces the Kang Tung and Kang
81 provinces of China, which were
devastated by flood in July, with loss
of 5000 lives and more than 100, 900
homes. Consul General Cheshire re-
ported from Canton that more than
5000, 900 people suffered losses and
many millions would need food until
the next harvest.
"In many places whole villages have
been b]otted out, inhabitants and all, J"
says the report. 1.-THE loss of life may
never be known, but the suffering
caused is appalling. The West river
still, at the end of July, is exceedingly
high, the fields and lands are under
several feet of water. Banks require
rebuilding, houses re-erecting, fields to
be pumped dry for planting. Taxes
are RENTED and other government aid
is given, but even thus, the people
have lost all and stand helpless.
"At first we hoped the water might
recede more rapidly and fields be avail
able for the second planting. This
now appears not to be possible. In
such event the people face a 10 or IL
months famine.
''This is only the beginning. What
the near future has in store only God
knows. Help is needed now. Delay
cannot be long if these people are tc

England Raises Anglo
American Army Corps

London.-An Anglo-American con-
tingent to aid Great Britain and her
allies is now in process Of formation,
under the direction of a committee
OF leaders of Anglo-Ameri-
can society here. Lord Lyveden is
the head of the organization, and also
commandant of the corps.
Speaking at the headquarters of the
corps, Lord Lyveden said:
awe are accepting Anglo-Ameri-
cans for this contingent, but only
those not eligible for Lord Kitchener's
special army. l have been in com
munication with the war office offici-
ais. and several members of the House
of Lords, and have outlined the pro
posed organization. Every one has
been much impressed and believes we
shall be able to produce a really use
full force to support the British army.
81 have been asked by the authori-
ties to keep my committee at work on
its organization and offer the corps in
four months time. We have already
had a most generous response in both
volunteers and donations. We must
equip the corps ourselves.
"The regiment will be composed of
one and a half battalions of infantry,
three troops of mounted infantry, or
rough riders, and maxim, ambulance,
and transport detachments. If enough
men volunteer we may have to form
additional regiments.
1.-The cost of equipping single com
pany is $4,000. Our horses will have
to come from America, as the remount
department here may need all the
suitable horses in Great Britain"

Liner Strikes Submarine
Mine; 1IUenty DrOUned

London. = The Wilson passenger
liner Runo, with 600 passengers on
board, struck a mine in the North Sea
and was sunk Monday. All of the
crew and passengers, with the excep-
ton of about 20 Russian refugees,
were saved.
The Runo sailed from Hull for Arch
angel and fouled the mine when about
40 miles off Shields at ABS o'clock.
The rescues were made by fishing
trawler, a member Of the crew of
which said he heard a report and saw
the Runo rise in the water, then settle
by the head until the fore part of the
ship was awash. She remained in this
position long enough to enable her
small boats and the trawlers to pick
up the survivors, 200 of whom were
later landed at Hull.
The fishing trawler Prince Victor
picked up % persons who were cling
ing to a capsized boat. The trawler's
crew saw three others drowned. The
mate of the Prince Victor was lowered
over the side of the fisherman by lines
and thus helped in the work Of rescue.
The American consul, John Hay,
bound for Odessa, was among the res
cued, but was injured.

PEACE IS SOUGHT
Kaiser Asked to Discuss Terms to
End European War;.
Great Britain Declared to Oppose
Temporary Truce-Frdnce
UnlDilIing at Present.

Washington, D. C.-Emperor Will
liam has had under consideration for
several days, an informal inquiry from
the United States government as to
whether Germany desires to discuss
terms of peace with her foes.
Up to late hour Monday no reply
had come, but on it's tenor depends to
some extent whether the informal
peace movement inaugurated a week
ago can be pursued further with Great
Britain, France and Russia.
The inquiry was not formal one,
such as President Wilson's original
tender of good offices, but was an effort
of an official character to determine
whether Germany's reported willing
ness to talk peace was based on fact.
The chronology of the peace move
ment asrrrevealed after conference
of officials, diplomats and others di.
rectly concerned in the incident. The
story of the seven days of peace talk,
as told by some of the principals, is as
follows:
"On Saturday, September 5, Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor, dined with James Speyer, the
banker, at the latter's residence il
New York. Oscar Straus, American
member of The Hague tribunal anC
former cabinet officer, was present. II
the course of the evening, as the con
versation turned to the subject Of
peace in Europe, the German ambassa
dor said that, while he had no advice
from his government since leaving
Berlin, he recalled a conversation will
the Imperial chancellor there, in whicl
the latter said he believed the empero
would be willing to discuss measures
of peace through mediation.
Previous to the ambassadors con
versation with the chancellor, Empero
William had already acknowledged
President Wilson's tender of goo
offices, but had been non-committal a
to its acceptance. Mr.. Straus imme
diatley asked the German ambassado
for permission to repeat the converse
tion to Secretary Bryan at Washing
ton. Count Won Bernstorff gave hi
consent.

Seattle.

Not yet has the peach trade reached
level which will show better profits
to the grower or a scarcity, although
the past two or three days would give
this indication. The market at Acc
for best Elbertas was firm, and pre-
dictions for the coming week include
both higher and lower levels, but the
fact remains that Wenatchee has not
begun to ship its orange, lemon and
Italian clings and Simmons seedlings
or Muirs, and Cashmere has just start
ed it's Elbertas into market. The can
yon districts of eastern Washington
have scarcely commenced to market
their product Much of this stock is
due to show next week. The Simmons
seedlings have always been rated at
higher quality and price level than
the Elbertas There is large amount
of excellent canning fruit in these
coming shipments, and any rapid re-
covery from the extremely Low prices
in peaches is doubtful at this time.
Good shipping pear stock is scarce,
and the market hardened to s1Q1.5O.
It is now regarded as probable that
this fruit will reach a high level for a
finish, not to be weakened until the
coming of the Idaho canning stock
in October.
The egg market looks steady. II
was reported on the street that some
of the jobbers had been price cutting
and were selling fresh ranch stock al

fled. Ordinarily, however. such q
price would be impossible. All deal

"kismet."

"Kismet" is an Arabic word mean
ing fate" or "it is fated." A belief
in predestination is one of the funda-
mental principles in the Mohammedan
faith. Not only mans fortune, but
his deeds, and consequently his fu-
ture reward or punishment, are, ac-
cording to this faith, ir-evocably, and
thus unavoidably, pre-ordained-a doc
trine which has contributed largely to
the success of Islam by inspiring its
champions with the greatest contempt
for the dangers of warfare. When a
Nohammedan meets with any disaster
or misfortune. no matter how great,
he accepts the situation calmly, mere
ly saying "Kismet"-"it is fated."

NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.
Portland

Portland
The strong demand for Northwest
ern flour to be shipped to the eastern
seaboard is the feature of the grain
market. Figures as TO the quantity
sold in the past few days are not avail
able, but grain men estimate that be-
tween 10000 and 100000 barrels have
been sold to go from Portland alone.
1t is not known how much business of
this character has ben put through on
the Sound, but the volume is believed
to be large.
business at present is limited only by
the transportation facilities from this
port. Several of the interior mills are
trying to get space on the Portland
New York steamers, but have learned
that all the space is sold ahead.
1t is also the general belief that the
Pacific Coast flour, when it reaches
the east, win be transshipped to Eu
rope without delay. The English gov
eminent for week past has been buy
ing American flour through agents in
this country, and the progress of the
war, as shown by the press dispatches
bears out the assumption that the
need for breadstuffs on the other side
is urgent.
