State Board of Equalization In the west

turnouts, side tracks, depot grounds,

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great'a change
a few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition OF
many women. The freshness, charm
and brilliancy vanish like the bloom
from a peach which lie rudely handled.
The matron is only dim shadow, a
faint echo of the charming maiden.
There are two reasons 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 that
are often consequent on marliare and
motherhood, not understanding that
this secret drain is r0bbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its fair
ness. As surely as the general health
suffers when there is arrangement OF
the health of the delicate womanly or
gans, SO surely when these organs are
established in health the face and form
at once witness to the fact in renewed
comeliness. Half a million women and
more have found health and happiness
in the use of DIR. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription. It makes weak women
strong and sick women well.
