Icor is the loss of life the whole story, for in addition to those who die, we find a far lar- ger group, who, while they survive, the conditions which kill other we - men, nevertheless incur more or less permanent injury. Is this state of affairs inevitable? is it necessary that a number of lives be sacrificed and that so much suffering and damage should result? The answer is a most emphatic NO. It is not necessary; it is not inevit- able; it occurs because we are not making use of the preventative mea- sures which are available for pfe- vention of the condition. Child-bearing is a normal function. It does, however, represent nature under a strain, but this strain can be met without danger, providing it is prepared for. The normal healthy woman may expect to go through pregnancy with no- particular dang- er as long as she takes •reasonable • care—the special care necessary to prevent and deal with the unusual conditions which do arise. Most of the serious and fatal con- ditions which are seen come about because the victim was not under the supervision of her doctor during her pregnancy, or because she did not have nursing care at her con- finement. HAS THE LAXATIVE IN YOUR HOME.A DOCTOR'S APPROVAL? Some things people do .to help the Dowels whenever any bad breath, feverishness, biliousness, or a lack of appetite warn of constipation, realty weaken these organs. .Only a dock • knows what will cleanse the system without harm. That is why the laxa- tive in your home should have the approval of a family doctor. The wonderful product, known to millions as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup :Pepsin is a family doctor's prescrip- tion for sluggish bowels. It never varies from the original prescription which Dr. Caldwell '‘erote thousands of times in many years of practice, and proved safe and reliable for men, women and children. It is made from herbs and other pure ingredientso it is pleasant -tasting, and can form no habit. You can bey this popular laxa- tive from all drugstores. AS$GGIATE SECRgTARY Supervision during the whole preg- nancy is needed, It is only through such supervision that the necessary oppottunity is given for the discov- ery of the first signs or indications that an abnormal condition is devel- oping. Serious conditions rarely come on suddenly. Practically always, there are 'early signs, which, if they are detected and treatment is given Promptly, succeed in arresting the de- velopment of a serious condition be- cause of correction or removal of the cause. It is quite true that the majority of women do not receive „pre -natal care, yet they go through their preg- nancy without any particular trouble. It is, however, equally true that, at the present time, six mothers' lives are lost for •every thousand babies born. It is believed by those who are competent to judge that two out of every three of these deaths might be prevented. Such deaths actually ,are prevented among women who receive regular supervision during their preg- nancy and proper care at confine - meet. It may be difficult to secure super:, vision on account of our scattered population and the distances between centres, but we urge upon both man and women to make every effort to ensure supervision for every woman needing it. Maternal mortality can be prevent- ed, Providing use is made of the knowledge we have, and what we know is that pre -natal care is needed fo'r all expectant mothers.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON XVI—Aprtil 19 The Rich Man and Lazarus.Luke 16:19-31. Golden. Text.—Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.,—Matt. 6:29. I. THE RICH AND POOR. Now there was a certain rich Man. The rich man here held .up to scorn was a selfish rich .man; he might have used his money in unselfish ways, and so have won Christ's praise. And he was clothed in purple and fine linen. His outer robe was'of wool, dyed with the purple. His in- ner garment or tunic was made of a fine white linen or cotton from Eg- ypt or India. Faring sumptuously ev- ery day. Spending fortunes in rare wines and costly viands, having a corps of skilled entertainers and mes- icians, wasting enormous sums in full view of the starving. And a certain beggar named Laz- arus. Not to be confounded with the brother of Mary and Martha, of Beth- any. He is the only! named charac- ter of the parables, and his name may have been given him because of its significance, for it is a contraction of Eleazar, ineaning "Helped of God," or "God help him!"

Full of sores. Ills body was a mass of burning ulcers, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. The implication is that Lazar- us longed for the crumbs, but they were not given to him. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. That man is far from friendless who has a good dog to steed by him. Dogs are often not so mean as their masters. HADES AND HEAVEN, And it came to pass, that 'the beg- gar died. An instant end to his sores his hunger, and all his misery, And that he was carried away by the an- gels into Abraham's bosom. The phrase is to be understood by com- parison with the account of the last supper, where the apostle whorti Je- sus loved leaned on his breast. And he rich man also died, and was bur - ed. How glad he would have been to xchange his pompous obsequies for he pauper burial of Lazarus, if he ould have had the beggar's glorious uture! And in Hades, Hades is from the reek word "to see" to which a neg- tive is prefixed, and it means "the nseen world." He lifted up his eyes eing in torments.
