The life of the bluejacket on
the battleship is described in the
second of a series of articles on
naval training now appearing in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. In
the current number (October) nu-
merous illustrations depict the du-
ties and pleasures of the sailor in
Uncle Sans service. Cleaning of
personal effects, apparatus, and
ships deck, drilling in many forms,
study, reading, and various amuse-
ments mitigate the tedium of life
on the water. The pictures are es-
pecially fine.

Mrs. Henry Padgham, Victor, N. Y.
writes" For some time was
troubled with headache and distress
in my stomach after eating, also
with constipation. About six months
ago / began taking Chamberlain's
Tablets. They regulated the action
of my bowels and the headache and
other annoyances ceased in a short
time" For sale by Extra Drug Co.

THE Charm
OF MOT HERHOQD
Enhanced By Perfect Phy.i-
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 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 a 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, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
