and barbarous TO Norway on the sea

Time Brings Joy
And Happiness
As The Hours Pass the Coming Of
Baby Draws Nearer-Are
You Prepared?
|

Scientists say great stress should be
laid upon the remarkable influence which
the mothers happy prenatal disposition
has upon the health and future OF the
generations to come.
There is a splendid preparation women
for over half a century have applied be-
fore the storks arrival, known as Moth
er's Friend. This is a most grateful,
penetrating remedy that at once softens
and soothes the myriad of broad, fiat
abdominal muscles under the skin of the
abdomen. BY tbs regular use during the
period the nerves, tendons and cords are
relaxed and there is absence of
nausea, oearing-down pains, strain and
general discomfort more often than 9TH
erwise experienced when nature is un-
aided
By the use of Mothers Friend night
and morning the muscles relax with
ease when baby comes, the time at the
crisis Is shorter and pain and danger
is naturally avoided.
Write the Bradffeld Regulator Com
pany, Dept. E, Lamar Building. Atlanta,
Georgia, for their Motherhood Book, and
OBTAIN bottle of Mothers Friend from
the druggist, by all means, and get in
10 condition to meet the crisis.

WOMEN OF CHINA

home on wet days. Why? Because the
Chinese shoe IS made wholly Of cloth,
through which the water readily runs;
hence, to KEEP dry feet, the Chinese
stay indoors when it rains. Chinese
shoes are made by women. Early in
childhoom they learn the work. and
husband and father and sons are all
shod by the work Of the women of the
household. If the women can make
more shoes than their own men re-

On. E. A. Specially

Paris, Dec z.-wftf1 fighting over,
leaves areas for American troops who
are awaiting transportation home or
assignment to police duties over here
will be increased ten times.
The job of entertaining the men of
the army is going to be greater one
with peace than in war, because they
will have more leisure than before
Normally. eight per cent of an army
time. Leaves are supposed to be given
every four months. But the job of
fighting has often interfered with the
leaves.
Leave areas, therefore. Will have to
be increased ten times. Present areas,
mostly in one-time fashionable sea and
mountain resorts. have sleeping ac-
comodations for 1900 men. II eight
per cent are on leave at one time, with
hostilities ended, accomns citations will
be necessary for between 10000 and
10000 men, figuring the army at up
wards OF 1000, 900.
In each area the Y. NJ. c. A. has
taken over hotels or reserved rooms.
To illustrate it: It's as if big hotels
were taken over for the soldiers in At
lantic City or Newport, back home.
The big Casino is taken over for enter
tainment. The army pays the mems
lodging bills.
The biggest leave area in France is
at Aix-le-Bains. It was the first open
ed. It's accommodations are for 5000
men. AS evidence of Yanks' good be-
havior it is a matter OF record thar
there has been no Arrest for drunken
mes there.
The athletic program will be doubled.
Games are figured as the best method
of keeping idle men k-ppy. They in
clude baseball, football basketball and
boxing.
Overseas entertainment troupes will
have much more to do. There are now
SO companies here, comprising about
$50 professional actors Also "a lee
turers, who give lectures, chiefly on
historical France.
The canteen work, for the supply OF
and delicacies, will be con-
tinued and extended. More movie
houses will be opened.
This is all in addition to the educa-
t.onal work OF the army educational
told of previously.
