FROM MAIDgSHooD TO woMANHooD.
The crucial epoch of a womans life
Is the change from maidenhood to

TO our modes Of living and the forced

In this way girls become delicate and the

Many mature woman traces back her
troubles and her bad health TO this early

for this reason proper precautions should
be taken. Perhaps the mother or daugh-

with their home physician on these

Believed That the Man Burned AZ

II Ia believed by the Salt Lake po-
lice that the man who was so badly
burned In the Sandy Jail Tuesday night,
Is Joseph Dougherty, a one-armed
tramp, who escaped from the city jail

rect.

noon the coroners jury returned the
following verdict
we, the undersigned Jurors, sum
moned before Justice Burrows at San
dy, find that the deceased came to his
death from congestion OF the lungs

from burning bedding, the cause Of the
fire being unknown. We hereby exon
crate any and all persons In regard to
the caus OF the fire.

ployed at the Murray smelters. The
man was buried this afternoon.
