Time Brings Happiness
With The Dawn
The Coming of Baby Marks the Ad-
vent OF n Glorious Future.

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 wom-
en- for over half n century have applied
before the stork's arrival, known as
Mothers Friend. This is a most CRATE
full, penetrating remedy that at once
softens and soothes the myriad of
broad, fiat abdominal muscles under the
skin of the abdomen. By its regular
use during the period the nerves, ten
dons and cords are relaxed and there is
an absence of nausea, bearing-down
pains, strain and general discomfort,
more often than otherwise experienced
when nature is unaided.
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 Bradfeld Regulator Com
pany, Dept. r. Lamar Building. Atlanta.

The southern press shows strong educa tiOnal and
practical efforts towards cooperative defense
against manipula tive bearish tactics in cotton.
Here factors have formed an association pledg-
ing defense of cotton, earnestly advising spot
owners, banks and other interests not to be
stampeded and to put all effort towards holding

Current cotton goods reviews plainly that hes
itating tactics of buyers, easier prices and some
cancellation of orders are not due to any shrink
age in needs abundance of goods but prin-
cipally TO bearish price views lately engendered
by the forced decline in cotton.
Partly cloudy warmer weather prevails over
the belt with the exception of the Atlantics
where frost temperatures reach into central
Georgia. storm formation is passing into the
central grain belt and will bring unsettled,
rainy weather in the south, probably followed
by decided cold wave towards the latter days
of the week.

Canning Operations to Start.

Story City Herald: The Story City
Farmer Canning Co. expects to start
operations in two weeks.
The buildings, which occupy the
ground west of the Ristvedt & Smith
elevator alongside the NJ. & st. l..
tracks are now almost finished and
the machinery is rapidly being in
stalled.
Considering the general shortage
of help, good progress has been made
in the erection of the canning fac
tory buildings. An inspection of the
plant reveals that the various build
ings represent lot of labor and ma
terial.
