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

The experience of Motherhood is a try.
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
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 heath resulting from
in 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 relv
upon Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

Those Locomotive Orders.

An order for 400 locomotives looks
big on its surface. The allies, particu'
larly Russia, have been buying loco
motives by the hundreds and many
orders have been placed in this coun'
try. Americans are apt to run to the
conclusion that each locomotive so or.
dered is OF the American standard, a
monster costing about $4,000. A rail
road man said recently that 1t would
be fairer estimate II every locomo-
tive order placed by the allies were
divided by five.

American locomotive is equal to about
five of the foreign locomotives. Some
OF the foreign orders call for trench
locomotives. little dinkies Of the Coney
Island type. They are Just little play

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp of marching armies,
No banners flaming far;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky a Star.
Their hymns of peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria In Excelsis
To earth the angels taught:
When In the lowly manager
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe Of heaven laid.
Born lowly In the darkness,
And none as poor as he,
The little children of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But just the budding sheep,
The angels singing of the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame Of conquering banners.
No legions sent afar;
A lamp within a stable
And in the sky Star!

No italian Anthem.

Musicians will doubtless wish to

Italy has many patriotic songs, as the
Royal March" and "Garibaldi's
Hymn" but no recognized national
anthem. though the last-named song
has almost come to the supremacy.
In this respect Italy is at tho same
disadvantage as Turkey. After the
revolution the Young Turks offered

far the poet Of patriotism has not
come forward to claim 1t.
