A very pretty custom obtains among cer-
tain classes by which the newly married
pair starts a ; avings hank for the child yet
to be. Every day a penny or a dime, as
the caae ma^v be, is dropped into the bank
to swell the fund,
and this practice is
kept up until the
child is old enough
to save for itself.
The parents have
the right theory but
how rarely they
carry it to its broad-
est application.
Every mother is
perforct laying up
for her child what
money cannot in
fluencc— happiness
or misery. The
nervous mother will
have a nervous
child. The irrita-
ble and fearful mother cannot have a happy
and cheerful hild. In mind and body the
child will rcf .*ct the mother's condition.
The best p-r para ton for motherhood is
made by tlic me o.' Dr Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. Its perfect control over the
sensitive fenrnine organism gives it a
natural influence ov r the mind. It ban-
ishes anxiety and f- a . It does away with
the ser*. cfinortiitg sickness. It give?
vitality a;u' < lasticity to the organs pecu-
liarly jfemrjine, ami makes the trial of
mothechood easy and brief. It makes
healthy mothers, capable of nursing and
nourisft'n:: the babes they bring into the
world. " J* vorite Prescription" contains no
alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. Accept
