Senator Weeks, however. the politicians

victory at once through a joint victory
of Progressives and old line Republicans,
on a platform the most progressive ever
presented by the Republican party in
Massachusetts,. Its Progressive features
have been described heretofore. and the
fact that they were regarded as saus-
factory by the Progressives Is shown in
the vote.

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

The experience of Motherhood is q 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 expert
ence with an organism unified for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q 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
. 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
pie 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, q most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

Zapata and Villa Forces
Gen. Scott to Hold Confer
enCe With Villa.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Probable
danger to the lives Of American wom-
en- at Tuxpam has induced the state
department TO order the women away
from that town to Tampico.
Tuxpam is about 10 be attacked by
a combination OF Zapata and Villa

what took place at Mexico City last
month that the government is show
ing anxiety TO get the women where
they will be safe.
TampicO is also to be attacked. but
il is said there are naval forces there
for the protection of American inter-

Tampico, and that the place is flood
ed with counterfeit money.
The war department announces
that there will be a conference at
once at Ell PaSo between Gen. Hugh
Scott and Gen. Villa.
1t is understood that the result of
this conference will be that Villa will
be allowed TO attack Naco with super
Tor forces and drive the Carranza
forces into the United States or cap
ture them in the city. There seenN to
be a disposition on the part of the war
department officials to waive the OBJ
1ecuOnS against tlrlng across the line
in order that Gen. Villa may settle
the matter by taking Naco.
Report to the constitutionalist agen-
cy here continue to indicate that Pro-
visional President Gutierrez is pris-
oner in Mexico City. His wife and

ton have fled the capital through

city
This agency also says that Villa lost
700 men in Puebla alone and that
there were great losses in all the 9TH
er battles which were reported Thurs
day night. Two thousand of the Ia
patjsta-Villa troops have surrendered.
The agency also contends that Gen.

state Of Michoacan has gone over to
the CarranZa side.
