Thursday night marked an event in the history of Majella Council No. 72, in a series of delightful entertainments in honor of Indiana’s Great Pocohontas, Mrs. Florence Bain. In October at Indianapolis at the meeting of the grand council of Pocohontas consisting of a body of nearly 1000 members, delegates from councils from all over the state, Mrs. Bain was elected Great Pocohontas. To fill ths office is considered in Red Men circles an honor of the first degree, and knowing this, Majella council feels to rejoice that this honor has fittingly fallen on one of its most loval members, and to show their love and respect for her it is only natural that this council should feel a pleasure in showing her reverence. and in a beautiful worded speech Brother A. P. Beatty upon this occasion presented her with a beautiful signet ring, from the members. The response by Sister Bain was nobly begun, but tears, which 'could not be suppressed, choked her utterance and- she took her seat amid hearty applause. Surprises had not yet ceased, Mrs. Jessie Burdg in a neat speech presented the council with a handsome large sepia portrait of the great Pocohontas, which was greeted with another round of applause, then was served most delicious refreshments to about fifty, by Mrs. Burdg. Mrs. Bain is known and loved by members of the degree of Pocohontas all over the state, and many are the congratulations being sent her, and when we consider a fraternity of over 15,000 members in the state, then an estimate can be made of what this office means. Majella council is also honored with two more state officers, Kannie Fristoe, great first scout and A. P. Beatty chairman of committee on appeals, a place carrying with it heavy responsibilities. These entertainments are most enjoyable, and a feeling of fraternal friendship persuades the entire council. Thue we trail on through lite, living tor thosse who love us, and loving those whom we love to honor, and when we come to cross the dark river that fl jws by the foot of the hill of life, may we ever dwell with Him who is Greatest of all, and one altogether Lovely.

What Is More Beautiful than a Mother’s Love i “ Who ran to help me when I fell And would some pretty story tell. Or kiss the place to make it well. My mother.” A mother’s worries are many. She sometimes forgets her own bodily discomforts because of her overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such a time they have been relieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a prescription which their mothers had told them was the best woman’s tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has enjoyed an enviable reputation for over a third of a century. In all that time it has sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman’s needs, and to-day its sales are greater than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this prescription from native medicinal roots without the use of a particle of alcohol and for the single purpose of curing those diseases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty. How few women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is because they are unprepared. Is preparation then required for motherhood? asks the young woman. And every experienced mother answers —” Yes.” ” I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescriptions” writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Va. The reason for this advice is that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best preparative for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, she cannot use "Favorite Prescription” as a preparative for maternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is the women who are not strong who best appreciate the great benefits reteived from the use of "Favorite Prescription.” For one thing its use makes the baby’s advent practically painless. It has in many cases reduced days of suffering to a brief few hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and struggle into a time of ease anil comfort. A DUTY WOMEN OWE THEMSELVES. "Good actions speak louder than words,” so, too does the testimony of many thousands of women during a third of a century speak iouder than mere claims not backed by any such record of cures. Miss Emma Petty, 1126 S. Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind., Past Vice-President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Minneola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, Indianapolis, writes: "For several years I suffered with leucorrhtea, which was a serious drain on my vitality, sapping my strength and causing severe headaches, bearing-down pains and a general worn-out feeling, until I really had no desire to live. I had many medicines recommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until I took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. In two months I was much better and stronger, and in four months I was well. Have had no more disagreeable discharge, no more pain; so I have every reason to praise ‘Favorite Pre-

Dr. Pierce thereby shows that e he is not afraid to tell his patients just ■ I what this made of. Thia i < is not true of any oftler medicine espe--1 cially designed for the cure of woman’s 1 I peculiar ailments. This "Prescription" • | is also the only rvoman’s medicine sold ’ j through druggists that does not con- ■ 1 tain a large percentage of alcohol; it 1 i contains not a drop. ■ | As an indication of the high esteem in which the medical profession aro ‘ coming to regard the several ingredi- ■ ents of which Dr. Pierce’s Favorite PreI scription, for weak and ailing women 1 is composed, we have rooin here to in--1 sert only the following: > j Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuck, Conn., ’ Editor of the Department of Therapeu- ’ i tics in The Electric Review says of ! Unicorn root (Helonias Dinica) one of > the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Fa--1 , vorite Prescription: "A remedy which ! , invariably acts as a uterine invigorator ' . and always favors a condition which ' makes for normal activity of the entire ‘ reproductive system, cannot fail to be 1 of great usefulness and of the utmost importance to the general practitioner of medicine.” "In Helonias we have a medicament which more fully answers the above purposes than any other drug with which 1 am acquainted. In the treat- ! ; ment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent.” "The following are among the lead--1 ing indications for Helonias: Pain or : aching- in the back, with leucorrhcea; . atonic.(weak) conditions of the reproj ductive organs of women, mental depression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kidneys: menorrhagia, ("flooding”) due to a weakened condition of the reproductive | system; amenorrhcea, arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anamic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations ! in the extreme lower part of the abdomen.” If more or less of the above sympj toms are present, no invalid women ' can do better than take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredients of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias.
