Grandma Talks
About Babies
Has large circleo Listeners Who Prof
It by Her Wisdom and Experience.

In almost any community there is a grand
ma who knows Mothers Friend. Not onlS
Is she reminiscent Of her own experience
but it was through her recommendation that
50 many expectant mothers derived the com
fort and blessing of this famous remedy.
Mothers Friend is an external application
prepared especially for expectant mothers
after the formula of noted family phys-
clan. 1t certainly has a wonderful effect
in relieving tension brought about by ex-
panding muscles, and is a most grateful en-
enlargement to the woman awaiting moth
erhood.
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive. When
baby arrives they expand easily, and pain
and danger at the crisis is naturally less
Strain upon the nerves and igaments is
lessened and in place of a period of discom-
Tort and consequent dread. it is a season of
calm repose and happy anticipation.
Mothers Friend enables the mother to pre-
serve her health and natural grace and she
remains a pretty mother by having avoided
.he pain and suffering which more often
than otherwise accompanies such an occasion
when nature Is unaided.
Write the Bradfed Regulator Co.,
Lamar Bldg.. Atlanta, Ga, for their "Moth-
rrhood Book" SO valuable to expectant moth
ers, and in the meantime do not by any
chance fail to purchase a bottle of Mothers
Friend from the druggist and thus fortify
yourself against pain and discomfort. Moth
er's Friend should be applied night and morn
.ng WIN the utmost regularity.

SUGAR 12 to is Gents a Pound,

In these days of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost of livin0. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP a day for laborers to 50 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
ing 10 cents or a haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were S1.50 to 81 day,
and ice, which was considered a great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone of
contention in those days, too, and it
cost - to Is cents a pound.
