Deartti of Seals.
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
by wireless 41 Montreal, states that
the sealing fleet off the east coast of
Newfoundland reports the worst sea-
son in the history of the sealing ire
dustry. The total eatch so far is only.
50,000 seals, which is less than one
boat secured ip. 1910.
The fleet sailed on. March 14, and
comprised 2,000 men and many ves-
sels. On March 20 they struck an ice
"pan," with 30,000 seals which they
speedily slaughtered. Then followed
a hunt by the steamers, plowing
through the ice for the main herd,
which usually floats down on ice
from the Polar regions.
The search was kept up for hun
deeds of miles through the ice in
every direction, but without success.
The fleet is now sailing south, and
hopes to find the main herd. The
average catch is 300,000 skins, repre-
senting a million dollars. Witb the
best luck it is not expected to exceed
one-third this year.
Too Good to Be True.

"It is abominable."
"Perhaps he has had no chance to

Advice to Expectant Mothers
The experience of Motherhood is a try-
ing one to most women and marks dis-
tinctly an epoch in their live; Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her-
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism unfitted
for tb.e trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous 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 oe
beauty. The unexplainable -thing is that,
with all the evidence of sbattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E.Pinkhara'sVegetable Com-
pound, a most valuable tonic ahdin-eig.

called the "Spring Chicken." Like th�.
actresses, it never grows old.
Rots and spots are now selling at aa
per can of thirty pounds. New Yorka
Philadelphia and Chicago are tag
leading markets. Better buy early tat
avoid the rush.
It should be remembered in fatten- •
ing fowls that some get ripe for mar-
ket quicker than others. These birds
so fast to finish should be taken out
and sold right at their best or they gO'

The chicken population made a big,
