W' Be Careful No woman can be too careful of * her condition daring the period before her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endangers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. MOTHER'S t Mt-MU Is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside. External applications are eternally right. Internal medicines are radically wrong. They are more than humbugs?they endanger life. Mother's Friend helps the muscles to relax and expand naturally?relieves morning sickness?removes the cause of nervousness and headache? prevents hard and rising breasts?shortens labor and lessens the pains?and helps the patient to rapid recovery. From a letter by a Shreveport, La., woman: "I have been using your wonderful remedy. Mother's Friend, for the last two months, and find it just as recommended." Drunlsti sell it at $1 per bottle.

If you stop breathing you die; this you all know. But did it ever occur to you that if you half breathe you only about half live? An abundance of pure air taken into the lungs has very much to do with keeping up one's vital en rgy. If the lungs are at all weak, or there is a tendency towards consumption, nothing can be done better than to make a practice of taking full deep broths ot pure air. If the lunge ar- still sound, I care not how strong the heredita ry tendency, I believe persistent 1 effort in this direction will etia 1 ble one to live out his or her full number of days. So many people only about half breathe, and | as a consequence do net fully) live, and are in a condition of itn- , paired vitality that renders them an easy prey to any disease that . comes along. In regard to con- , sumption, a parr of the lungs not' being used, the germs of the disease find an easy lodgment. The stern law ot nature destroys w hat i is not used. Stop using your arm 1 entirely and you soon lose the use . of it. Kail to use your lungs fully,: and not only will your vitality be I | lessened, but destructive forces may set to work, l'liousands and ' thousands go ??> untimely grave- ' because they wiil confine the i, chest and waist so closely that t full bre?ths cannot be taken readily, and sometimes they cat.-1 not because of the positions oceu- ; pied when at work, and thus they ; get. into 111<j always dangerous i1 habit of only using half or ?.fI the lungs. When death comes I we hear it called a "terrible dispensation of Providence." People wonder how a kind l)*ity can take away a bright joung lady, perhaps, just in her prime. The 1 truth is, friends, that our lungs ' are made for use, and if wo man- i age so as to only about h ilf use them, why wo must pay the pen] alty, as nature's laws are inexorable. And worso yet, we transmit the weakness to our children. 1 confess that it is hard to make it I 1 I>r. II. II. lladen, Summit, Ala., says, "I tlxnk Kodol liyspepsia Cure is a < splendid medicifie. I prescribe it, and my confidence in it grows with con- , tinned use." It digests what you eat and quickly cures dyspepsia and in- ( digestion. Crawford Ilros. d-w-s seem right that children should suffer for the failures of their pa rents, but so it is. Now, dear reader, if you have inherited weak lungs, and a tendency towards consumption, if you are what is called ''flat-chest ed," so your lungs are crowded, let me beg of you at once loosen up your clothes and keep them so, enough so full, long, deep breaths can be drawn without the slightest obstruction. Tin n several times a day go where the air is pure and draw in all you an, through your nostrils, hold it 2 or 3 seconds and then let it out slowly. This may be almost painful at lirst, but you will soon get over that. Continue this for several minutes at a time. Whatever you may be doing fry and get in a position so you can draw full breath easy. If you must bend over desk, or table, or sewing machine, stop at least every hour and net up and walk 'round, throwing back the shoal ders and breathing deeply for two or three minutes, if no more. You can gradually expand your chest or lungs so will have more room. Your vitality will improve. Not long since the writer spoke to a young lady friend, who is threatened with consumption, about this matter. She said she knew it was a good plan, but she had never tried it systematically. O, what a sad mistake ! Although the failures of the parents are visited on the children, don't you see, dear friends, God has not left them helpless, but has given them a way to throw off their troubles ! And the more one has to over come the greater the victory and the reward. fO A WKEK TO START.
