will do for every woman what it did for the |
Minnesota mother who writes the above let-
tcr. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and dear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning «"•*"" •* and nervousness
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan-
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery Is merely a matter o! j
a few days. ^

When the Century Ends.
The Nineteenth Century closes
with the year 1900. Immediately
after midnight, therefore, of De-
cember 31, 1900, is,- when the
Twentieth Century ? begins. In
other words, ifegfogins with the
second of the first hour of the day
of January, 1901.
v The Twentieth Century will
open on a Tuesday and dose on a
Sunday. It will have Ihe great-
est nnmber of leap yeara possible
for a century—twenty-four. The
year 1904 will he the first one,
then everyj - fourth year after that
to and including the year 2000.
February willv three- times have
five Sundays; iff 1920, 1948 and
1978. r
The Twentieth Century will
contain 36,52fT days, which lacks
but one day of being exactly 5,218
weeks. The, middle day of the
century will be January 1,1951.—

Jnst Saved His Life.
It was a thrilling escape that
Charles Davis of Bowerston, O., late-
ly had from 4 feightful death. For
two years a severe long trouble con-
stantly grew worse until it seemed
he must die of Consumption. Then
he began to tee Dr. King's New Dis-
covery and lately wrote; "It gave
instant relief and effected a perma-
nent cure." Such wonderful cures
have for 25 years, proven" its power to
cure atl throat, eheet Mid lung trou-
bles. Price 50c and $1.00. Every
bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free
at fl. B. Lewis' drug store.

My son has been troubled for
years with chronic diarrhoea. Some-
time ago I persuaded him to take
some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. After using
two bottles of the 25-cent size he was
cured. I give this testimonial, hop-
ing some one similarly afflicted may
read it and be benefited.—Thomas C
