 This is in accordance with the new federal statute which pres 2fihss that all courts of record, known as courts of ''unlimited jurisdiction, which have a clerk and a seal, may natucalize for eigners. The court of common plees has a limited jurisdiction, therefore the work will be done in the city court in the future.

Manson states that the Benedict estate had paid the interest on this mortgage, and taken over the equity held by the Improvement associ- Iation.

For over two years the company has done nothing in the way of improving the property, and failed to pay the interest on the mort gage The Misses Stiles then brought suit for foreclosure.
 MT. Manson denied that any plans had been made for booming the prop

SECRET OF woMAN,s HEALTH

| SECRET OF WOMAN'S HEALTH. If the woman of the twentieth cen-
 tury is going to give the greater part
 of her walking hours to unnecessary
 care of her body, she sinks to the lev | el of the Indian squaws, who were the pets of the great chiefs hundreds of years ago. The squaws were oiled and painted and overhung with shark S teeth and wampum-they had rings
 on their fingers and bells on their toes. What real differences are there be- tween those fine ladies of the Choc- taws and the Iroquois and the fine la
 dies of today? And yet there echo in the ears of the modern woman the
 cry of the tenement house, the cry of the child laborer, the cry of all the pressing, unsolved problems of the
 home and the world-the cry of her
 own immortal soul-the while she
 dawdles over her silly face. and grim aces before a mirror! The squaw was the nobler woman of the two. At
 least, she lived up to her lights" The whole Identification" enter price is delusive. The woman who .scrupulously regards neatness, who ob serves the laws of health, who does
 the duty of each day as though it might be her last. and then gives her
 best efforts to making her world bet
 ter and happier, with much consid
 ering her own complexion-that wo- man is not only admirable for her character, but she is also likely to be far better looking than be-laced overdressed, powdered, rouged, Ger ated,' massaged, and oyer-manipulat- ed sisted.-Kate Clark in Leslie's Weekly.
