Planning for the :
Stork's Arrivd

Among those things which all women
should know Of, and many Of them do
is a splendid external application sold
in most drug stores under the name Of
Mothers Friend" It is penetrating
liquid and many and many a mother tells
how 1t so wonderfully aided them through
the period of expectancy. Its chief pur-
pose is to render the tendons. ligaments
and muscles so plant that natures exc
pansion may be accomplished without the
intense strain so often characteristic Of
the period of expectancy.
Mothers Friend" may therefore be
considered as indirectly having splendid
influence upon the early disposition OF
the future generation.
Whatever induces to the ease and cons
fort Of the mother should leave Its impress
upon the nervous system of the baby:
At any rate it is reasonable to believe
that since Mothers Friend" has been a
companion to motherhood for more than
half a century it must be a remedy that
women have learned the great value Of.
Ask at any drug store for Mother
Friend" a penetrating, external liquid
OF great help and value. And write TO
Bradfield Regulator Co., 402 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ca, for their book OF useful
and timely information.

Sick Heauache

Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.

of sick headache will disappear. Mrs.

of remedies but nothing helped me

tions Of Europe are wanted by the
tions of Europe are wnted by he
south. Taking time by the forelock,
in antlciation of the rush Of immi-
grants of the agricultural type,
monster meeting was held here to-
day Of delegates from many south
ern states, editors, railroad men,
bankers, real estate and business men,
who responded to the call Of Senator
Duncan u. Fletcher Of Florida.
Hon. William B. Wilson, secretary
OF labor, welcomed the visitors and
opened the meeting with a stirring
talk on the opportunity Of the rural
sections Of this country to obtain set
lers and farm hands. The department
Of labor has been making extensive
investigations into conditions Of
Of labor, and is aiding all worthy
moves for the assimilation Of
the floods Of immigration in the sec
tions where families are needed and
where thrift and usefulness in Amer
ican citizenship can best be achieved.
The meeting, which opened this
forenoon in the southern building, was
called by Senator Fletcher last month.
The delegates who attended were told
of the tentative plans that had been
developed, of offering inducements to
the agriculturally inclined immigrants
now out Of work in centers of large
population, to settle on southern farms
and to care for the distribution of
the horde Of foreigners who will pro-
badly quit the blood-soaked farms of
Europe to settle in America.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one, and words of encouragement
were said by delegates from many
sections Of the south. Before the
convention disbands, the immigration
policy of the southern states will have
been established and a plan of financ-
ing desirable agricultural settlers will
be adopted.
The federal government is taking
great interest in the meeting for the
subject Of immigration is one Of the
most important questions now before
congress, and the labor conditions in
the congested cities are such that the
powers of the department Of labor are
Ibeing exerted to solve the question of
more practical distribution Of foreign

It. The use OF local anaesthesia, produced

Advice to Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE PAIRPAx


he Patient.
Dear Miss Fairfax: We, two girls OF
16 years OF age, who clerk in a confec-
uonery store, are constantly wondering
how We should treat strangers. Quite
often young men will make love to us,
and we are at a loss to know what TO
say. Won't you kindly advise US what
20 say and do? We are both orphans.
VIII you please tell us IL we should ac-
cept one OF the many proposals We have
had, or keep up this.
TWO FAIR GIRLS.
Girls who serve the public in any
capacity must expect to meet with a GER
tain degree of impairment familiarity from
young men. who think II is smart 70 tease
them. or who fancy themselves to be of
so great attraction that they are doing
the girls favor by noticing them. The
only safe way, to deal with such smart
alexis Is TO quietly serve them and pay
no attention to their flippant remarks.
1t would be very unwise to accept q pro-
posal OF any kind from such a man BY
being quiet and dignified, you will not
only serve yourselves we'll, but will give
your employer such service as viii make
him losth to part with you. And the man
who really loves you will try TO protect
and not humiliate you.

Bringing the Dead to Life

have persisted OF cold. like Captain Scott
and his companions. and have remained
buried in the eternal snow of the polar
regions
The marvellous preservative power OF
cold Is shown in the fact that the bodies
Of ancient mAmmoths which were en-
quilted ages ago have been found In TO
cent years almost perfectly preserved in
the frozen swamps OF northern siberia.
Nobody knows how many tens Of thou
sands or hundreds OF thousands or years
those animals may have lain in their icy
graves. How they got there we do not
know. Their long. thick hair shows that
they lived in a cold climate. but how It
was that their bodies became frozen so
quickly az 10 arrest modification is a
mystery.
The animal is there. but it's life is gone
Suppose there had been absolutely no
bodily decay. as might DO possible II the
cold did not vary. could We then affirm
that the mammoth was simply In a state
OF suspended animation. and would Il be
conceivable that. by some process OF res
toration more elaborate than that applied
TO a drowned person. but of similar ma
ture the ancient monster might be
brought back 70 llfe1 That would be re
peopling the earth with prehistoric ami
mails with vengesncel
In truth. however. the preservation Of
the bodily tissues is never perfect for
very long periods. Internal changes oc-
cur which render the restoration OF vital
action impossible. A person who had been
frozen might be restored TO life within a
brief period after the suspension Of ami

Now that woman has become self-sup-

settle herself as best she can, and wait

condescend TO serve her, and when her
food is brought her 1t will be banged
down on the table in any old way.
The explanation Of this used to be that
men tipped and women didn't. but the
woman who goes to restaurants nowadays
no more withholds her gratuity than does
the man, and so the explanation of this
phenomenon goes back 70 womans in
