THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi
cal Health.
The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un
derstands how to properly care for her-
self. Of course nearly every woman
' nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the experi
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right npoQ this comes the nervous strain
of earing for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child-birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexpl&inable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
ple time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time shock rely
upon Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
iavigorator of the female organism.
In many homes
once childless there
are now children be
cause of the fact
that Lvdia E. Pink

women normal,
healthy and strong.

side.
Take the Navajos. Kverybouy hn

blankets, fkrople capnhln of producing
suoh work, the Invention of ihoir own
taste and Intelligence, have, by that tact '
alons, earned the right to be treated

patterns thrtT lark Hip simple beauty of
their, predecoseor. the fnult Is the while

Formerly the Navajos used native dyes,
of exquisite delicacy, and their designs
were remaikable fflr the simple harmony
of the combinations. PAit to please whits
people, whose taste Is Inferior to their
own. they have adopted colors and
decorative forma which banish most of
the unsophisticated charm which once
characterised their work. The still, how
ever, turn out blsnkets. saddle girths,
etc.. In large numbers, and some of tho
work is comparable In beauty with that
formerly produced.
The women are the weavers, simple
looms hetng employed, and the wool
comes from the large flocks of shep and
goata that the tribes raise as a principal
source of food. The Navajo men are
often excellent silversmiths, hammering
out articles of pure sliver with aurpiis.
Ing skill.
But If you would understand the Navajo
Indian as a member of the great human
race, you must look at him from another
viewpoint than that of his Industrial
caps ally and artistic ability. The social
and religious cermonlea that mark his
life reveal his Imagination, and show how
far above tho plain of mere brutality and
savagery he exists. He has his myths,
like the ancient Q reeks, and some of his

By
traditions needed only a little more poetlo
power to be wrcught Into epics.
Take the story of ths adventures of
the Nevajo "Prophet," for instance,.
We eaa give but one passage from It, to
Indicate its Imaginative reach. Tho
"Prophet," relentlessly pursued by his
enemies, the ft as, having traversed moun
tains and deserts without end, loses hope,
and la hardly able to drag himself along,
so great Is his weariness and So sore are
his hurts. Just at this crisis he hears
the enemy again rushing upon him.
"But at this moment he becomes con
scious thst hs to not alone, and glancing
to one side he' sees Nllol, the Wind God,
walking with him. And Nile! brings a
great dark whirlwind, which roars a mo
ment beside them and then buries its
point tn the ground snd digs a deep hole
there, a cavern with four chambers."
In this cavern, by Nllcl's directions, the
persecuted "Prophet" takes refuge, while
ths Wind God scatters and destroys his
enemies with lightning snd hall.
This myth, which you will find re
corded at length by Dr. Washington Mat

reports. Is the basis of a very elaborate
