Women Who Wear Well.

IL Is astonishing how great change =
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness. the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudcly handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock 10 the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

that this secret drain is robbing the check

 The following, entitled "Tigo and the Woodchuck" was written by Lawrence Eddy of Canaan and was considered worthy of publication by Tho Hartford Courant,
 Back in the pasture. while quietly picking berries. we suddenly heard furi- ous barking. Knowing what that meant, we hastened toward tho place from which the sound came. In a small clear ing between the brambles there was furious fight going on. On one side was huge woodchuck. and on the other was our bulldog, Tige.
 The woodchuck glared at Tige, and Tige parked at the woodchuck. Every few minutes one or the other charged upon the other. Tige had his face all bitten up and the woodchuck had one of his teeth broken off.
 Finally the chuck tried another scheme.
 He lay on his back and Tige could not touch him without getting bitten. This state of affairs continued for some time. Then Tige, by snapping at the wood chuck's tail, made him turn over to de- fend himself. Like lightning Tige had him by the nape of the neck. Then he took him over in the shade and sat down.
 Although he squirmed about, the wood chuck couldn't break that hold. Sud denly there was snap, the fight was over. Tige loosened his hold immediate ly, and the woodehuck rolled Imply down with broken neck"

Secretary Bodenwein talked to the newspaper men about various matters and things the other day and told cogent truth when he referred to the custom of placing important notices on the public sign post.
 He remarked that an effectual way to bury something from sight altogether is to place it on one of these posts. When the requirement. relative to placing notices was established, conditions were in marked contrast to those of the pres ant day. MT. Bodenwein conveyed the idea that the sign post method of notiti- cation is practically obsolete, that people of the present time expect to see matters of public information in the newspapers The notice put into the newspaper Is seen and studied by many, nobody can ever tell how many people, not idlers but alert and observing folk who mean to keep up with the procession and know that reading the newspaper is the surest way thereto. The question is not whether the revenue of newspapers shall be triflingly increased, but whether the people want to have these formal and official legal papers hidden or published.

TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED
Make W. II. Camp Prove What Pepsi.
 kola Tablets do for Indigestion.

It stands to reason that W. H. Camp would not come right out in these col umns year after year and ask you to try Pepsikoln tablets for indigestion if he were not pretty sure you would receive decided benefit.
 You can see that for yourself.
 The remedy fails to cure every case, of course, but he always pays your quarter back, should the tablets fail to do good.
 Life IS too short for misrepresentation in matters of this kind, and for the small profit W. H. Camp makes on a 30 cent package it would be mighty poor judg- ment to induce you to make n trip to this store and then sell you something that would disappoint you.
 If troubled with sour stomach, heart burn, wind belohinR, coated tongue, loss of appetite, weakened energy, nervous ness, fullness after eating or other stom- ach trouble, just try Pepsikola tablets on our say so. Our word for 1t. they will build up your energy, steady your nerves. improve your appetite, enrich your blood and put new life in your stomach as sure us this world.

Our news columns to-day contain a reference to q Canaan man who is carry ing on his farming operations largely by the use of machinery. This man is one of rapidly enlarging class of farmers who have adopted machine farming not because of preference for it but, rather owing to the fact that it is, and has been during the recent years, well-nigh an impossibility to obtain help, either permanent or temporary, and the adoption of machinery has become i'm perative. This help scarcity has worked great hardship to farmers in this county and there are said to be instances where much absolutely necessary work has been left undone because it was physi- cal impossibility for the farmer, with little or no help and insufficient funds to purchase machinery, to accomplish it.
