There does not seem to be very

with proper business management.
That. should of course be the first

not expect to make profit from his

Baby Of future
is Considered

Much thought has been given In late
years to tho subject Of maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
IN the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this II true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers
Friend" is great help to expectant
mothers. They write Of the wonderful
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what splendid influence 1t was on
the nervous system. Such helps as
Mothers Friend and the broader
knowledge of them should have a helpful
influence upon babies Of the future.
Science says that an infant derives its
sense and builds its character from
cutaneous impressions. And a tranquil
mother certainly will transmit a more
healthful influence than If she is ex-
tremely nervous from undue pain. This
Is what a host Of women believe who
used Mothers Friend"
These points are more thoroughly ex.
planned in a little book mailed free.
Mothers Friend is sold in all drug
stores. Write for book. Bradfeld Regula

EYE GLASSES SHOULD GO
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.
Here Is His Free Prescription.

MANY who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
Is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
1.-THE following treatment Is worthy
OF fullest confidence. It is scientific,
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes. Go
to any drug store, get tube of DIPLOMA
tablets, dissolve one in a two ounce
bottle Of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What is gen.
orally known as eye strain will soon
be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. 1t helps diseased
eyes and 1t keeps good eyes healthy;
it is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart or burn, has wonder
full effect on granulated lids and is
especially recommended for dull,
bleary or CLASSY eyes. It helps all
eyes and should be in every home for
use in emergency"
The following extracts are from let
tiers received from users of this pre-
scription:
ct used DIPLOMA one week for a cold
in my eyes; it did me great deal Of
good"
"My eyes have been failing for years.
I am sure DIPLOMA is doing them good
and shall continue its use."
Have only been using DIPLOMA a
short time. My eyes are improving
wonderfully"
81 find DIPLOMA very satisfactory and
recommend 1t wherever find an op-
portunity. I find 1t very soothing"
"Ive been benefited by DIPLOMA and
intend to follow the treatment"
Have been using DIPLOMA for about
three months and it has greatly in
proved my sight"
"My eyes have been sore for several
years; were red and infiamed. Used
everything recommended and gained
no relief. had my eyes examined and
wore glasses for six months. reat
of DIPLOMA and thought would give n
a trial. Am glad TT be oble to state

Many others have made similar re
ports. II your eyes bother you, hav'
the above prescription filled; 1t may d.
wonders for you. Do not become vic
tim of neglect. You perhaps valu

1t is no longer necessary for any

Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system Of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. It
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
ciple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean.
strong, healthy and well
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle OF
Croxone is such, that it is practically

AUSTRIANS TIRE
OF HEAVY war TAX
MINISTER OF WAR WANTS
s1se, ooo, 900 AND PEOPLE
6ALk.
(By Associated Press.)

Vienna, June 1.-THE Austro-Hun-
garian tax payer has become gravely
alarmed over the fact that the mill
tary estimates for the coming year are
nearly double the army and navy ex-
penditure of seven years ago. From
government sources there have come
frequent assertions that relations with
other countries are most peaceful and
amicable. If this be true, the people
are wondering why the government
comes forward with a military budget
which could not be much greater if the
empire was on the verge of war.
The sum asked by the minister OF
war is $1S6,0OO,OO0. The army wants
$115,O00,000, while the navy will get
along with $36,OOO,OOO. The remaining
$95,000,000 will be spent on the militia
and reserve forces. Seven years age
the total budget for the three branche!
of service amounted to only $4,000,
900, sum considerably less than il
now demanded for the army alone.
The popular protest is that the ad
vance is utterly out of proportion t,
the normal increase in the nation
financial and commercial wealth, bu
the most disquieting feature is tina
the present budget contains no extra
ordinary items, SO there is no reaso
to expect that next years estimat
will bring any relief.
