For Homes of Refinement
You will be delighted with those remark
able Pianos, they arcso beautiful in design
and finish, so perfect in tone. The wonder
ful popularity of these unusual instruments
has been won through real merit. Further
more, while they possess highest musical
qualities, the}' are not high-priced Pianos.
The rich, full, singing tone, so sought by
professional musicians, is particularly no
ticeable in Kohler & Campbell Pianos.
Many Schools of Music prefer them to any
other, owing to their richness of tone and
light, quick action, which are characteristic

Sen, Stephen Lee's Son
In High Tribute to Grant
GALENA. III.. April 27. ? Blewett
Lee, general solicitor of the Illinois
Central railroad and son of the late
Lieutenant General Stephen Dill Lee,
delivered the principal address here
today at the celebration of the birth
day of General I'lysses S. Grant, who
was a resident here at the breaking
out of the Civil war.
After reviewing the rise of General
Grant to his position as head of the
Union armies in the Civil war, Mr.
Lee said i-i part:
"During the whole of the recon
struction period, a time of bitterness
and regret, of sorrow and pain, the
burden of the defeated south was
made more tolerable by the steady
kindness, the understanding, one
might almost say the sympathy of
General Grant. His great prestige as
commander-in-chipf of the victorious
army, his personal popularity, which
made him a powerful force with which
to reckon and in time placed him in
the great office of president of the
United States, were unhesitatingly
used for the protection of the south
ern people, so if came about that I
cannot remember. and 1 think no
southerner of my generation remem
bers to have heard one harsh word
spoken in our own section about Gen.
Grart. Among the soldiers of the na
tion, he more than any other man,
commanded both the love of the north
and respect of the south."
The speaker declared that the south
shares the feeling with the whole
country "that it is well that we art*,
one people, that the flag of the repub
lic still floats trom the lakes to the
gulf, and from ocean to ocean: that
the south shares with the north its
satisfaction at the abolition of slav-j
ery. * We have one country and we
have a free country and for both of
these things we thank General Grant."
Mr. Lec urged the holding of special
exercises each year in Galena in cele
bration of Grant's birthday.

The Coming Baby
Every help that will tend to aid
the expectant mother and foster tho
well-being of the tiny infant should
In promptly rendered.
The time before childbirth is one
o' much discomfort. This is caused
it :t large measure by the tightening
arc? straining of the abdominal tis
sues. nt wel. as tho network of cords,
ligaments and musclcs in that part
of the body.
For many years thousands of
women have successfully used the
preparation known as "Mother's
Friend."' It is safe and dependable
to be used by every prospective
nother. A famous physician formu
lated the preparation. "Mother's
Friend" is for external use, and is
composed of special oils and other in
gredients which have a penetrating
and softening effect. Relief from
much of the pain at the crisis is
found.
Any woman awaiting childbirth
should secure a bottle of "Mother's
Friend" from her druggist, when tha
abdomen first begins to expand. No
time should be lost in beginning its
use. Apply it night and morning
without fail. Address Bradfield Regu
lator Company, Dept. B, 177 Atlanta,
Ga., for valuable sruide book: it is free.
