How to Avoid Those Pains and Distress Which SO Many Mothers Have Suffered.

Too much cannot be said for won
 derful preparation, familiar to many
 women as Mothers Friend.

 all the health rules ever laid down for
 the guidance of eXpectant mothers. It is
 an external application that spreads its
 influence upon the cords. tendons and
 muscles of the abdomen. rendering them plant. and they expand gracefully without that peculiar wrenching strain The occasion is, therefore. one of un- bounded joyful anticipation and too much stress cannot be laid upon the re- markable influence which a mothers happy prenatal disposition has upon the health and fortunes of the generations o come.

scenery used besides that which was contributed by the natural surround irgs, was executed by the students of the A. G. T. T.. all the costumes were designed right in the college and made there; the music was composed there; the lighting apparatus everything was the work of the students of this institu- tion of which Alabama is very proud.
 Indeed, l know of few colleges today which could present a pageant half so lovely as that seen on July the Fourth at the A. G. T. l., but then, few col leges have such an artist as Miss Grim ball to write and stage a pageant.
 A trip to Montevallo at any time would be delightful, because of the hospitality and cordialty extended by Dr. Palmer and Mrs. Palmer. and visit over the handsome buildings and grounds would always be interesting; but the real time to go to Montevallo, as I see it. is on the patriotic Fourth-especially if Miss Grimball gives pageant.

RAT IS FRIEND OF MINERS
Workers Warned of Coming Catas-
trophe When the Rodents Leave
Tunnei-Are Fed by Men.

Investigators of mining conditions
and the peculiar dangers TO which
miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice
of Western gold miners to make pets
Of the rats which commonly infest
mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fornia it has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care of them, believing that the
rodents are source of protection
against accident, says Our Dumb Ami
mails. This is due, the men say, to the
instinct of the rats, which warns them
when tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave tunnel 1t is almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave a doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
so often cause loss of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be-
come sick and show symptoms of dis
tress. So the men keep close watch
of the rats good health.

Back Home on the Steam

LINER ENTERS QUARANTINE.
Steamer Reached Its Pier Monday
Lateness of the Ships Arrival
Spoiled Great Reception Plan
ned by Relatives of Boys.

New FORK, Dec. 3.-The British
steamship Mauretania, which is return
ing to the United States the first large
body of American overseas troops, was
reported by wireless through the naval
communication service.
The ship reached quarantine at Z
p m. Sunday and locked Monday.
The bulk of the returning soldiers
are men from the airplane training
camps in England, but there are also
several men from the American con-
struction and radio units and about
5OO civilian passengers aboard.
The lateness of the Mauretania's
arrival spoiled a great reception that
mad been arranged for the returning
troops. Seldom has the harbor on
such a brisk day been so alive with
craft, for mOtorboats, tugs and harbor
and fishing boats were out in great
numbers, filled with those anXiously
waiting to greet the first American
troops to return as result of the col
lapse of Germany.
The larger craft went out of the
harbor and drifted about Ambrose
channel lightship, In order to be the
first to signal their greetings, while
on shore many watched from wind
swept vantage points to have first
glimpse of the Mauretania heading up
through the Narrows.
The Mauretania left Liverpool Mon
day, November 25.
Three other transports will arrive
early in the week. They are The Lap

all from Liverpool. With the Maure-
tania contingent they will bring the
number of returning forces up to TO-
995. This is about half the number
that were training in England when
the armistice was signed.
Hundreds Of requests for passes to
the pier where the Mauretania locked
were received from relatives. These
were not granted, however, as it was
decided for the safety of the public
the men be sent Immediately TO Camp
Mills and other camps about New
York, to wait there until such quar-
antine regulations as are deemed ad-
vlsable are carried out.
This, however did not prevent hun
dreds of relatives from coming to
New York to shout welcome to their
boys and wait until they are mus
tered out of the national service aft
