J. BARLEYC0RN, BAD DRIVER
His Hands Shake, His Knees Wobbs
and His Conscience Is More
Than Half Asleep.

John Barleycorn is a bad chauffeur.
His hand shakes. his knees wobble. his
eyesight is poor and his conscience
half asleep. And anyone who permits
this reckless driver to sit at the wheel
Of motor car is a menace to life.
That is why little sympathy is felt
for the Baltimore man just sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary be-
cause. while intoxicated he ran down
and killed woman. And if this con-
Wet fancies himself the victim of a
great injustice, he should compare his
fate with that of the woman whose
neck his carelessness broke.
One does not have to be intoxicated
to deserve prison for reckless driving.
Nor does one have to be rich. as the
Baltimore man is. Indeed. the plight
of this man should have an equally so
bering effect upon all careless drivers,
tipplers, teetotalers. plutocratic and
poor.

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 a hundred is prepared OF un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment Lt such
times, but many approach the expert
encs with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when j. 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 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. Pinkhan's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
inyigorator of the female organism.
