THE CHARM
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 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 experi- ence with an organism undtted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received shock from which 1t 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 IS that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- ple time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and inYigorator of the female organism.

HOUSE DESTROYED
BY FLAMES TO-DAY
Vacant Dwelling at 1928 Mckinley
Avenue Found Burning at
Four O'Clock This
Morning.
THE ORIGIN IS UNKNOWN
House Belonged to Mrs. Perry Dean
and Had Not Been Occupied
For a Couple Of
Weeks.

Fire which was discovered this
morning at o'clock, practically de-
stroyed the frame dwelling house at
1928 Mckinley avenue, which is
owned by Mrs. Perry L. Dean. The
house was six room frame dwelling,
and had been vacant for two weeks.
The loss Is partially covered by in
surance, Mr.. Dean said today. The
house was valued at $1,000.
The fire departm ent answered the
alarm in three minutes, Mr.. Dean
stated. This was figuring from the
time that the telephone receiver was
hung up until the apparatus arrived.
At the time that the department ar
rived. however, the house was mass
of flames. and the roof had fallen in.
The origin of the fire is not fully
determined. Inasmuch as 1t was a
vacant building, there might have
been outside agents responsible for
the confagration. The owners of the
house were not able to say today Just
how the blaze originated. The house
was blazing fiercely at the time the
fire was discovered

sary facilities to accommodate the en-
terprising Manufacturers, such as
railroads and waterfront
Let us hope there will be more
unity than in the past among our
citizens in the private walks of life;
less political aniInosity and ilI-will;
more sociality, forbearance good
fellowship and community of inter
ests. Party lines have been too Of

other places; it will be a, happier year
for our citizens if 1866 witnesses i'm
