THE CHARM OF MOTHERHOOD Fnhiinrwi By Perfect Physi cal Health. Tto «peri«M» of Motherhood U* try ing on. to mo«t woman and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their Uvea. Not ooe woman in a hundred is prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of coarse 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 upon this comes the nervous strain of caring 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 unexplainahle thing is thst, 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 should rely Upon Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and tnvigorator of the female organism.

Oue of the most important duties >a the home place during the summer is the csre of the lawn. There Is nothing about a place that makea so much for general attractiveness as a well cared for lawn. Many people make the mistake of keeping the lawn cut too close. In that case the grass roots are exposed to hot sun and drying winds during the summer. Cut the lawn frequently, but do not aet the machine too close. To keep the lswn looking clean at all times have a grass-catcher attachment on the mower. A careful watch for weeds on the lawn should be kept Cut them out well below the surface with an old knife aa soon as thsy are large enough to be seen. A roller on the lawn Is advisable, but It should be used with care. Lawns that have been roiled for a long time are likely to become over-rolled; there Is Burface cohesion or close packing of the top soli, which prevents the admission of air and healthy root development. The remedy Is the ÜBe of the spiked tamper. A home-made one may be made by taking a piece of two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim | ber and inserting four-inch spikes an Inch and a half or two Inches apart (Boro holes a little smaller than the j spikes before driving them In, to pre | vent splitting the *ood. Perforate the w.tyole surface thoroughly with j this, give a top dressing, lightly rake It In and mater the whole thoroughly late In the afternoon. HAVE TOP SASH SCREENED May Bs Considered Smsll Matter, But Is Always Advissble —Advics for Prospective Builder. Don't forget that you may at some flme want to open the top sash of the window, and that files and mosquitoes are not particular as to through which aash they enter; therefore have the screen run from top to bottom of the window; to do this, side springs will be necessary In the screen frames, but they will cost little more than a screes which can be used only from the bot tom sash and which Is little better than no screen at all. Ddn't forget that there will never be a better time to build than the pres ent; materials of all kinds are cheap er than they have been for several yeara, and aa soon as the European war Is over there Is sure to be a sharp advance ID prices. Don't say you can't build now be cause you have not enough money; If you have a little, the co-operative banks and building associations will losn you the balance needed upon terms under which you can pay for the house In monthly Installments which would be no more than you would or dinarily be paying for rent. —Ex- change. The City Bssutlful. • A one-time mayor of New York, Oeorge R. McClellan, said: "In a self-governing community, the ul timate object of the government is the happiness of the governed. Something more Is needed to make the happy city than health and,health and wis dom. The city healthy, the city wealthy, and the city wise, may excite satisfaction, complaisance and pride, but it la the city beautiful that com pels and retains the love of people." When last the tree men of the South met at Riverside, In the music room of the fsmous Glenwood Mission inn, an lllumlnsted sign stretched across the stage, which read- "Make your city beautiful and you will learn to love lt. M Standards for Electric Service. A representative of the United States bureau of standards has been In conference with the public-service commissions snd msnsgers of public servlce corporations in various parts of the country. The lfffivmation so obtained hss been used In preparing the bureau's forthcoming circular on "Standards for Electric Service." An other representative of the bureau spent the entire month in the South, making measurements of street il lumination and electric current in ths street-lighting systems of a numbei of cities and towns. The results ol the investigation will form the basil of a circular on street lighting. Use Only Flre-Reslstlng Materlsl.

THE ENTERPRISE. WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA- CONTAGIOUS ABORTION AMONG CATTLE | • * beef Cattle Grating In Virginia. (Prepared by the United Btatea Depart ment of Agriculture.) In economic Importance contagious abortion In csttie stands next in im portance to tuberculosis; t progress In stamping out the disease, however, has not been rapid nor great. The dlseaae Is caused by the Bacillus abor tus. and abortions occur* compara tively infrequently from outside injury such ss blows, horn thrusts, falls, etc., or the eating of spoiled feed or certain herbs, as has been the quite common belief. Kfforts have been made to discover some medicinal agent which would curs the disease, and attempts have also been made to produce a serum, but this work is still in the experimen tal stage and no reliable curative agent has yet been discovered. Our main reliance must still be placed upon the careful and repeated 'disin fection of premises and of animals, to gether with the separation of healthy from diseased animals. Dlslnfsctlon of Premises. The thorough disinfection of prem ises la essential. This may be satis factorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors and other surfaces until free from cobwebs and dust. 2. Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork has be come decayed, porous or absorbent, it should be removed, burned and re placed with new material. > t. If floor is of earth, remove four Inches from the surface, and in places where It showa stsining with urine a sufficient depth should bo replaced to expose fresh earth. All earth removed should be replaced with earth from an uncontamlnated source, or a new floor of concrete may be laid, which Is very durable and easily cleaned. 4. All refuse and material from stable and barnyard should be re moved to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while the wood should be burned. 6. The entire Interior of the stable, especlslly the feeding troughs and drains, should be saturated by a dis lnfectant, as liquor cresolls composl tus (U. 8. P.) or carbolic acid, six ounces to every gallon of water In each case. After this has dried, the stalls, walls and ceilings may be cov ered with whitewash (lime wash), to each gallon of which should be added four ouncea of chloride of lime. The best method of applying the dis lnfectant and the lime wash Is by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardlats. This method is efficient In disinfec tion against most of the contagious and Infectious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately fol lowing any outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution It may be used once or twice yearly. 6. It Is important that arrangements be made to admit a plentiful supply of sunlight snd fresh sir by providing an ample number of windows, thereby eliminating dampness, stuffiness, bsd odor and other insanitary conditions. Good drainage is also very necessary If the use of liquor cresolis composl tus, csrbollc acid or other coal-tsr products is Inadmissible because of the readiness with which their odor is Imparted to milk and other dairy products, bichloride of mercury may be used In proportion of one to 800, or one pound of bichloride to 100 gsllons of water. However, all portions of the stable soiled with msnure should first be thoroughly scraped snd clesned, as the albumin contained in manure would otherwise greatly diminish the disinfecting power of the bichloride. Disinfection with this msterlsl should be supervised by a veterinarian or other person trained In the handling of poisonous drugs and chemicals, as the bichloride of mercury Is a powerful corrosive poison. The mangers snd feed boxes, sfter drying following spraying with this materlsl. should be washed out with hot water, as cattle are especially susceptible to mercurial poisoning. The bichloride solution should be spplled by means of a spray pump, as recommended for the liquor cresolls compositus. In addition, the yards should be cleaned by removing all litter and ma nure and disinfected by sprinkling lib erally with a solution of copper sul phate, five ounces to a gallon of water. Milking stools anld all other Imple ments should also be thoroughly dis infected. Disinfection and Treatment of Ani mals. To prevent the b»ill from carrying the infection from a diseased cow to a healthy one, first clip the tuft of long hair from the opening of the sheath, then disinfect the penis and •heath with a solution of one-half per cent of liquor cresolls composltus, lyao! or trlkresol, or 1 per cent creo lln or carbolic acid, or 1 to 1,000 po tassium permanganate In warm water. The yuly apparatus necessary la a soft rubber tube with a large funnel at tached to one end. or an ordinary foun tain syringe and tube would serve the purpose. The tube should be Inserted into the sheath and the foreskin held with the hand to prevent the Immedi ate escape of the fluid. Elevate the funnel as high as possible, and pour In the fluid until the preputial sack Is filled In addition to this, the hair of the belly and Inner sldeß of the thigh fthoul' 1 be sponged with the antlaoptlc. This disinfection should Invariably precede and follow every service. An aborting cow should receive Im mediate attention, and the .animal should be removed to separate quar ters where she can receive appropri ate treatment. The fetus, membranes and li K barges are particularly dan gerous and should be gathered up and destroyed Immediately by burning or burial in some safe place, and this followed by thoroughly disinfecting the stall. The uterus should be Irri gated dally with one of the antisep tics mentioned for the bull. ÜBlng tho same apparatus, and Irrigation should be continued until discharge ceases, in addition, tho external genitals, root of tall, escutcheon, etc., should be sponged dally with a solution twice as strong as that used for Irrigation, and this latter treatment should bo given the nonaborters as well. Should the preliminary symptoms of abortion be detected, the animal should be re moved from the herd and treated as above. After abortion, breeding should not again be attempted within two months, or until the discharge shall have ceased, as the uterus would not be normal and the animal would either not conceive or would abort again in a abort time. Great care should be used In pur chasing cattle, and cows not known to be free from the disease should be kept in separate Quarters until this point is determined. If a herd bull Is not kept, then great care should be exercised to know that the animal used Is free of disease and to see that he la properly treated both before and after service. Whenever it becomes necessary to separate diseased and healthy ani mals, It is especially Important that different attendants and utensils bo provided for the two groups." It Is manifestly Impossible to go into details within the scope of a short article, and it IS therefore suggested that a competent veterinarian be em ployed to supervise disinfection of premises and advise as to the meth >ds of treatment. CLEANLINESS IN THE DAIRY Moat Common Bource of Filth la Cow at Milking Time— Avoid Practice of Wetting Handa. The handa should never be wet when milking. . Some milkers follow the practice of wetting their hands by dipping them into the milk. This is a filthy habit and introduces a great many bacteria Into the milk. These bacteria have their effect, first, upon the flavor of the milk and cream, and later upon the butter. The most common source of filth in milk is the cow at milking time. If she has a cake of manure on her side, it la almost Impossible to milk her without getting some of the manure in -the tnilk. With this filth is not only introduced the bad flavor of the ma nure itself, but also innumerable bac teria which develop when they are in the milk at a favorable temperature very rapidly and bring about flavors in the milk similar to the flavor of the filth with which they were introduced. —ldaho Experiment Station, Bulletin No. 75, Care for Currant Bushes. Currant bushes should be dusted with white hellebore or paris green, or sprayed with a decoction of helle bore at the first appearance of ths currant worms. Thorough cultivation should be practiced at all times. Makes Gardening Easier. A good hand cultivator makes gar dening easier. With proper attach menta, furrows may be opened, seel covered and weeds killed. The 8h«f1 Shortage- A. J.

If a man la a coward he tries to make othera believe he is cautious. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY la something frightful. We can hardly realise thai of all the children born in civiLiawl countries, twenty.two per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven Jier cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I .... We do not hesitate to say that a timely uso of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do wo hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by tho uso of narcotic preparations. Props, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisona. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, bu* you must see that it bears the signature of Chad. 11. Fletcher.
