Women Who Wear Well.

y tits astonishing how great a change
a few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition OF
many women. The freshness. the
charm, the brilliance, vanish like the
bloom from the peach which is
rudely handled. The matron is only
a dim shadow, a faint echo of the
charming maiden. There are two
for this change, ignorance
and neglect. Few young women
appreciate the shock to the system
through the change which comes
with marriage. Many neglect to deal
with the unpleasant drains which
are often consequent on marriage and
motherhood, not understanding that
this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form of
its fairness. AS surely as the general
health suffers when there is derange-
ment of the health of the delicate
Womanly organs, SO surely when these
organs are established in health the
face and form at once witness to the
fact in renewed comellness. Half "a
million women and more have found
health and happiness in the use of

Watch Street Attractions.

When the street attractions were
given in the afternoon there was a
crowd Of people lined up along Main
street, and while the Parker band
furnished the music, Malcolm, Count
DeButz, Jackson and Helena Valdez
gave their several acts. which con-
sisted of balancing and juggling,
bicycle trick riding, trapez and on
tortion work and more %contortion
features by Valdez. The crowd
cheered the work of each Of the per-
formers and was well pleased with the
street show. Count DeButZ, the
trick bicycle rider, proves a very
strong attraction and the work he
does elicits great applause from the
people. His makeup is something
amusing and his tricks on the BIZ
cyle so neatly performed that it
makes one of the best attractions
that the management could secure.
