Every one In the world is selfish at heart. Some of us think we are not and others of us like to be told we are not, but if our minds could be dlesected and read there would be found in each case a region of gray matter held by the ogre we call selfishness. He would be intrenched there and armed with arguments as elusive as a submarine and reasons as cogent as & seventy-five-centimeter gun, always ready for businese, always alert and always ingratiating. Have you ever stopped to think what solfishnoes really is? Hps it ever vcourred to you that what e ] 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 & hundred is or un- derstands how to properly care for her- self. Of course ly 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 ;:lheh it is hard to recover. Following it of caring Tor the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than @ happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable 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 st this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, & most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless th;: ham's Vegetable makes women normal, bealthy and strong. It you want special advice write to Lydia E. Plakhan Medicine Co. (confl- dential) Lyon, Mass.

The brutal, unreficeting pro nouncement of ons of therr white enemies The only good Indian is & dead Indian," has nad far too much influence in forming tne genoral publie julgment concerning the red men. Let us turn from the evil side of the indian charaoter and consider a little the better side. Teke the Navajos. Kverybedy has seen or hemid of the wonderful Navajo blankets. Fgople capable of producing such work, the invention of their own taste and inteligence, have, by that fact * “alone, earned the right to be treated with respect. If the Navajo blankets now turned out are inferlor to those of n few decades ago, if they are glaringly col- ored wtih aniline ayes and decorated with patterns that lack the simple beauty of thels. predecussors, the fault is the white man's, and not the Indian’s. Formerly the Navajos used native dyes, of exauisite delcacy, and their designs were remarkable fdr the simple harmony of the combinations. But to please white peopie, whose taste is inferior o thelr own. they have adopted colors and decorative forms which banish most of the unsophisticated charm which once oharacterised fheir work. The still, how- ever, turn out biankets, saddle mirths, ete,, in large numbers, and some of tho work is comparable in beauty with that formerly produced. The women are the weavers, simple looms being employed, and the wool comes from the large flocks of sheep and goats that the tribes raiwe as a principal source of food. The Navajo men are often excellent silversmiths, hammoring out articles of pure sliver with surpris- Ing akill. But if you would understand the Navajo Indlan as a member of the great human race, you must look at him from anether viewpoint than that of bis industrial capacity and artistic ability. The soclal and religious cermonies that mark his life reveal his fmagination, and show how far above the plain of mere brutality and savagery he exists. He has his myths, like the ancient Greeks, und some of his By courtesy American Museum of Natural Higtory.

Just at this crisls he hears the enemy again rushing upon him. “But at this moment he becomes con- t he is not alone, and glapcing to one side he wees Niloi, the Wind God, walking with him.
