The CHARM

cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood Il . try
ING one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch IN their lives. Not one
woman in hundred Il prepared or un-
dsrstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment 1t such
times. but many approach the expert
ence with IN organism united for the
txial Of strength, and when 1t Il over
her systsm has received Q shock from
which it b hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There ID nothing more charming thar
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health OF
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
IN unprepared condition, and with am
pie time In which 70 prepare, women
win persist IN going blindly to the trial.
Every woman 1t this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, . most valuable tonic and

was a jolly crowd that gathered to

his joke and his laugh. The noise new
err ceased for a moment until the club
was called to order and Mr.. Burns
stepped up on the rostrum TO make a
few remarks before the awarding of
the prizes began.
Il want to say" he began, smiling.
that am very proud that this county
is in my district. When | tell yon
why, boys. you'll be proud also"
A stiffness settled over the crowd.
and the boys listened eagerly for the
next words.
What | refer to-" continued Mr..
Burns, lis the fact that some boy of
this county. some boy sitting here in
this room. has won the state prize-a
trip to Washington. Think Of that,
boys. One of your club has not only
won the first prize for the county. but
be has beat every other boy in the
state. wonder If any of you know
who the winner isg"
AS he asked the question the agent
allowed his eyes to wander about yer
the crowd Of boys, as If he himself
was trying to locate the lucky youth.
The boys looked at each other and
tried to guess the winner. But the
agent left it to the committee to re-
veal the name.
They didn't have long to wait, now
ever. Presently Mr.. Burns sat down.
and the chairman of the committee
stood up to award the prizes.
"Sam Powell will please come for
ward" he said.
Sam could hardly realize that 1t was
his name that had been called. but he
rose and went forward. The chairman
had him step up on the rostrum beside
him, facing the assembly. The next
words of the man caused the young
farmer almost to faint.
Sam Powell" he said. Il wish to in
form you that as a competitor in the
Boys Corn club you have won the first
prize offered to the boy in this state
who produced on one acre the largest
amount of cosn at the least cost This
prize consists of 500 in cash. to be

Continued from last week

Soon after they finished sowing u
gentle rain began falling. lasting for a
day. 1t sank into the soft soil and
seemed TO touch the planted grain with
magic. In a very short time the field
from end to end was one long carpet
OF green.
The year was growing old. and the
great bulk of the work was done. Sam
now had more leisure than he had had
at any time during the year. OF morn
ings there was sometimes a hint OF
frost in the air. but the days were yet
hot Inc sultry. Sans friends. Fred
Martin. Joe Watson and Andrew
White. had visited him several times
that summer In addition TO the days
that they had worked. But he had
something that he thought would make
a pleasant surprise for the boys. SO he
invited his neighbor. Bob Pagan. and
those three from town to visit him on
Saturday. Sans surprise was some
large watermelons. the last of the sea
son. that he had covered up with grass
and kept fresh and sound. The melon

and this would be a treat worth Civ
ing on what would probably be their
last visit this year. Even Bob Pagan
wonld be as much surprised as any. for
they never grew melons on the Pagan
firm and knew nothing about keeping
them until cold weather.
The boys came. and the day proved
to be suitable for the occasion. It was
a hot. sultry day and seemed to belong
more to midsummer than to autumn.
First the melons were carried to the
creek neal the swimming hole and
dumped In a clear pool to float round
and round and cool. Then the boys
were of on a hunt for wild grapes and
pecans. They found both. Winter
grapes and fox grapes they found
hanging in thick. purple clusters from
vines that ran along branches aud
from tree to tree, To get them the
boys generally had TO do n lot OF
climbing. but they liked this. though
they had to be careful about getting
too far out on weak limbs.
The pecans' hulls were Popping oueu
and dropping their fruit to the ground

Suddenly he jumped to his feet and
gave a big whoop. His mother. star
tied by the yell. came running to the
door.

Sam gave his comrades their first les
son In woodcraft-how to see things.
He pointed out TO them the flashing
colors Of red and brown and green and
gold. For the first time they really
saw the sumacs flaming on the hill or
the red birds and jay birds making
red and blue streaks as they few
swiftly through the woods. He show
ed them how to sit very still and see
the wild things that would come out
and begin their work and play all
around.
The hours passed swiftly. and before
the boys realized 1t noon was long
past. Being hungry and tired. they
turned back toward the creek and the
pool where the melons were floating In
the sparkling water. In a short time
they were there. and, carrying melons
to a grassy place in the shade of some
trees. they cut them In halves and ex-
posed the juicy red hearts. In a jiry

They lay in the shade and talked a
long time after they had disposed Of
the watermelons. One OF two slept

selves by throwing rocks at the trunk
of a tree. Suddenly some one said:
Lets go swimming. I'm going TO be

place of parting.
Sam himself as he walked slowly
homeward KEPT thinking of Christmas.
The Christmas feeling was getting in
his blood, aud that's a delightful feel
ing TO have.
The young farmer on arriving home
Immediately set about doing the even
ing chores. He felt vigorous and fresh
and happy. Nothing seemed lacking
Nevertheless when he had finished the
chores and gone indoors he found a
letter that added to his feelings of
pleasure. The letter vas from Mr..
Burns. the agricultural agent, request
ing him to be present the following

Corn club. when the prizes for the
state and county would be awarded
The following Saturday morning Sam
Powell was up early and away to town
to be present at the meeting of the
corr club. He didn't feel sure that he
would win a prize. He thought that
be might win one of the smaller coun-
ty prizes. but. as for the first ones OF
fered for the county and the state, Of
course he didn't have any chance to
win.
If he could just win the gold watch
offered by the governor or the trip to
Washington or the $50 in gold or the
Jersey cow he'd be satisfied But. any
way, he said to himself. If he didn't
win a single prize this year he would
