The most wonderful thing In the world
Is love expressed in the helpless infant.
And among those aids and comforts for
expectant mothers is the well known
Mothers Friend"
This is an external application to
enable the abdominal muscles to become
more plant, to expand naturally without
undue pain from the strain upon cords
and ligaments.
In almost every settled community are
women who have enjoyed the blessing of
this famous remedial and helpful embro-
cation. Their daughters have grown up
to learn of its splendid assistance.
Applied as directed upon those muscles
involved it soothes the fine network Of
nerves with which all the muscles are
supplied Thus great share of the pains
so much dreaded may be avoided and the
period of expectancy passed through in
ease and comfort.
Anything that adds so much comfort
must be counted as a blessing indeed.
In little book sent by mail much use
ful information is given to inexperienced
mothers. 1t tells how to use Mothers

Dread Epidemic.

London, April 20.-With spring|
rains already drenching portions Of
the battle front and the rapid ap-|
proach of warmer weather, the Allied
and German armies are facing al
greater menace than the shells and|
bullets of the enemy. The dread of
epidemic due to thousands of rotting|
bodies along the extended battle 'front.'
is with the medical corps of every|
army.
In the Woevre region, through the|
Argonne, about Rheims, in the region|
of Sossons and through the inundat-
ed sections of Belgium to the sea
stretches the vast field of the dead
Thousands of bodies have lain in open
spaces through the hostile trenches|
for Notwithstanding the win
ter. Neither side has dared venture|
forth to buy it's dead. In narrow
ledges hastily dug in the sides of the|
trenches hundreds of other dead are|
buried
Throughout the battle lire there are|
thousands of bodies, covered with only|
thin layer of earth. Und n the most
favorable conditions, the st nch is hor-
rible, but with the comm, of warmI
weather more serious conc itions areI
feared
1t is evident that every preparation
/ is being made to meet the new dan
ger at every hospital base. Great |
quantities Of disinfectants are going
to the front. While Lord Kitchener
is preparing TO battle with the Ger
mans In great drive with his "new
Million the British army of physi-
clans and nurses is preparing to fight
against the common fOe-disease.
Within month it is believed that
the great offensive of the Allied ar
mics must be launched New French
guns are arriving at the front, and
great quantities of ammunition are
being concentrated at all points along
the front.
Where Kitchener and Joffre will
strike first is problematical. The tests
of the German positions between the
Meuse and Moselle and at Nueve Cha
pelle availed the Allies nothing The
fact that the Germans were able TO
maintain their lines in the face of
these attacks is accepted as a clear
indication of the terrible price that
must be paid for success in the often
sive yet to come.
Mining and trench fighting con-
tlnue. Both French and German re.
ports mention engagements marked
by the blowing up of positions.
Berlin announced that the British
after blowing up positions, rushed the
heights southeast of Ypres. They were
repulsed in a counter attack, it was
claimed, but the fighting was ad-
mltted to be still in progress. The I
French were also declared to have
blown up position in the Meuse and
Moselle. In Alsace and the Vosges
fighting continues, but this is largely
confined to artillery duels and spo-
radio attacks ON isolated positions. Il

QUEENSTOWN, May s.-Latest adj
vices from the Lusitania tragedy say
that the crew was orderly during the
final moments of the tragedy and did
their best to launch their boats. Most
Of the survivors agree that two tor
pedoes struck the Lusitania, one
completely shattering her engine
room.
The first torpedo struck absolutely
without warning in the stoke-hole.
Splinters of steel few high in the
air and the great boat shook from
stem to stern. Almost Immediately
afterward another explosion followed.
The second torpedo completed the
tragedy. Fumes from the explosive
permeatod every section of the
smashed steamer. Many of the pas
sengers fell to the deck unconscious.
Others staggered to the boats and
were helped on board.
The steamer was listing TO star

cabin passengers was very heavy
Among those missing and who are
feared TO have been lost are Charles

manager, and Charles Klein, play

shrouded in mystery. One report says
that he got into a lifeboat, but so far
his arrival has not been reported. The
survivors landed at Queenstown.
Twenty-Five died during the night.
Naval patrols are still searching
the seas. but their work now is the
sorrowful task of trying to rescue
the bodies OF victims. Admiral Coke.
of the Queenstown naval station, has
gathered together all of the boats
that were available and now has them
on the scene. Their commanders
have been ordered TO watch for sub
marines, as II is feared the craft
