A HUSBAND SAYS: " Before my wife began using Mother's Friend Bhc could hardly get around. I do not think she could get along without it now. She has used it for two months and it is n great help to her. She does h c r housework without trouble." Mothers Friend Is an external liniment for expectant mothers to use. It gives them strength to attend to their household tlutics almost to the hour of confine ment. It is the one and only prepara tion that overcomes morning sickness and nervousness. It is the only f etnedy that relaxes and relieves the 6train. It is the only remedy that makes labor short and delivery easy. It is the only remedy that puts the breasts in condition so that swelling or rising is impossible. Don't take medicines internally. They endanger the lives of both mother and child.

Il niny bo it littlo novel n in soino mutters but on thn whole it contnius a liberal amount of good advice: "J'ho high Hohool, which is n worthy institution nnd is tho most powerful agency for gjod in this community, turns out annually a dozon girls, most of whom begin lifo with no other prep, amilon for tho world thnn they get in tho high school. In tho course of ono your, two yunra or livo yonra those girls liud places in tho mosnlcof tho town life either ns wives nud mothers working women or society people. None of theso girls over Hud a prince, Most of them within Hvojyoars from tietimoj'hey blush ovcrtho foa. lights with their essays on tho 'Haws of our governmental system of ethics,' find themselves cither alono or married, facing tho problem of broad and buttor which after all is tho serious thing that facos itho world. TheBO girls havo learned 11 the high school many vain able things nbout tho Victorian poets; they bavo ascertained much that is cur ious about logarithms, they havo ac quired a familiarity with amo, nmas, amat, nnd they can with reasonablo certainty distinguish tho salient points of difference botwoon a metaphor nnd a hole in tho ground. Rut how many of theso girls can wash a baby? How many know where a'por tcrhotiso steak comes from? What per cent of thorn can run n wrecking ercv into n pullet find re move tho debris without breaking tho gall-bag? How many can pick out n roast of mutton and know how to dress it nnd servo it so that it won't taste liko a ran cid nightmare? How many can mako their own un derwear? How many know how to savo tho scraps of meat and potntoes and bread and cake and vegetables nnd mako soups nnd stews and croquets and pud dings nnd things out of thom and savo half tho grocery bills for a man? How many know how to brighton up a homo, with tho thousand littlo touches that mako tho homo something more than four walls and a roof? Yot theso are tho important things of life. This knowledge is far more im portant to happiness than a knowledge that tho square of '.x'plus 'y' is x square plus two xy plus y square. Tho average girl in tho courso of timn marries. And slio doosn't marry a millionaire-, she marries a man who is making at tlio time of his marriage very littlo over or mulct S10 a wcik. He goes out Mix days in tho week dig ging for that ten. It is tho girls part of the partnership to savo it for him. Rut if sho duesn't know housekeeping further than baker's bread and fried beefsteak, the chances aro that the fam ily will always bo poor, that tho man will quitshavingmoro than on:eawo.k anil tlio woman slomick around in a wrapper and tho tow-head dirty-faced kids will go ragged and sick; that tho doctor will tako all tlio money tho gro cer leaves and that love's dream will soon bo over and thn devil will bo sil ting beside the battered 93 cont alarm clock in tho dirty bedroom holding his sides ami laughing at what a pudding lie lias got. And tliuu when tho high school girl sees her graduation essay tied with blue ribbon 111 tlio bottom bureau draw er, sho will sit down and bawl while her bread burns nnd she will wonder where nil her high ideals have gone. Hero's where they havo gono. Tho butcher has taken part of them because the girl could not buy meat in telligently, nnd savo in making hash and stows and croquots nnd things with tho left over parts. Tho grocer has had part of thoso ideals because the girl lives on canned truck which is tho most exponsivo food in the world ami would bankrupt a king. The dry goods man lias taken some nunc idciil.s, because tho girl buys ready made garmtwitri that she duesn't know how in mako. Tho doctor will take a lot of thosu ideals, became sho doesn't know how to conk wholesome food, to keep a san itsuv house nud to preserve a sound body. Then if tho girl is liko tho average of her kind sho will begin to toy with debt. Sho will keep her husband's noso to tho grindstone Ho will loso heart. Ho will smoke more tobacco becnuso ho can't 8co .that ho is any hotter off for tho saving when his wife blows him for every ctnt ho lays up. And thoy will jaw and row nnd peoplo will say. 'And ho used t bo such a nice boy, too.' Or, 'And she was such a swoot girl, too boforosho married.' A boy who tics himsolf to that kind of a girl stands no more show than ho would with both legs off. Of course he may win. So may an armless man. A Billy girl who can't keep houso is a worsu curse to a mau thau a tlirt. As many mon are ruined by do-less wonitn in their own homos as aro ruined by whisky.

Mrs. Pinkham will advise any woman free of charge who writes about her health. Her address is Lynn, Mass. lights out for town. Thnt is the kind of woman that tho boy should bo saved from. Aud sho is lying in wait for the boy in a hundred placet in this town every night. Now all this is uot the fault of tho high school which has done much for tho girl. Rut it is tho fault of foolish mothers who think the high school docs everything. Given a good home train ing in the homely useful things of life, n high school education is n priceless boon. It brings hnppiuess. It broad ens and sweetens the character, but if a girl can only have ono kind of educa tion let her tako her diploma from the kitchen aud let books go hang. Now this doesn't agree- with what Mr. Iuiskin says. Rut it's what j'otir good, sensible, bald-headed daddy will say, or your nice, happy, fat mother will hay, and they havo lived life.
