After IS, What?

According to Philad elphia author
ity. girl ceases to be girl when
she becomes 35. This decision at first
blush appears to be just and equit-
able one. If girl reaches 80 and
admits 1t, she Is not a girl, at least
not one of the girls that it has been
my pleasure and comfort to meet.
This decision commences, but 1t
does not go anywhere. 1t starts out
well, but is left at the post, says the
Detroit Free Press. For instance, 1t
fails to define the standing of the
girl who is not girl because she has
passed the thirty-fifth anniversary of
her birth. If she is not girl, what
Is she? 1 ask you all, what is she?
I knew a street car conductor who
once called a middle-aged woman a
female, and when she left the car
the conductors eye decorated one OF
the spokes of her umbrella. l main
tain that it is unfair to rule that a
girl of Sc is no longer girl. If it
does not go further and tell us what
she is. Is she young lady? To a
toothless man of 20 she is, undoubted-
ly, but the budding man Of prom
Use, the man with future before him
and dark past behind, what is she?
Young? Well, not exactly. Be she
married, she may be called q
girl, and even some matrons OF 35
will stand for the title. Unmarried,
and the problem is one to vex. Again,
we are at sea. Granting that girl
of So is no longer a girl, is it prop
er for us to term her a dame? It
may be proper, but am sure it would
not be safe. Again, I ask you how
are we to tell? Do we not all know
women who have been lowering at
"a for the last IL years? This brings
US to the most perplexing situation.
Experience has taught us that no girl
ever passes 35. The transition from
girlhood to grandmotherhood, unlike
the building of Rome, is made in a
day. 1 find that 1 have wandered
from my point. The girl who passes
IS is no longer girl in Philadelphia.
And since no girl passes 35, it must
follow that girls are girls until they
are grandmothers. Hence an unmar-
ried woman remains a girl until her
brothers or her sisters have children,
when she is suddenly transformed to
the joys and sacred privileges con-
ferred upon old-maid aunts. This
Philadelphia authority, repeat,
started out well, but he failed to ar
rive. He took but one straw from
the sheaf, but one card from the deck,
leaving the problem in a more tan
gled condition than when he began.
AS We see it now, girl who passes
35 is no longer girl, but no girl ever
passes 35. But after all, what is the
use?

WINTER WEAKNESS
Or. Williams Pink Pills tho Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much OF the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneys do
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it OF. Relief can be had only
through the use Of remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case,
said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. II
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
Nv stomach and nerves were out of Or
der. I can't describe how miserable
really was. I dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn tstrength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then glad day came, the day when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, I took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. took
only six boxes and then I was perfectly
well. If had not found this wonderful
remedy I surely think that must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at critical mo-
ment, I unhesitatingly recommend them
to Others
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant but give strength that lasts.
They may be obtained at any drug

New York, Feb. 3.-The fact that

Since the institution of the free in

in the Equitable, declared that when
an employee died it did away with the
necessity of his fellow employees con-
tributing to fund for his widow or
other dependent relatives. 1t also, ne
said induced an employee to continue
in the service of the Equitable, as the
insurance ceased the moment he sew

The premiums were paid, Mr.. TarDell
said, in lieu of slightly higher sal
airy. The average cost of the insur-
ance to the Equitable was SIS year

Paris. Feb. 3. Everywhere In
France the actual putting into opera
ton of the clause of the church and
state separation bill which PROVIDES

property of the churches has aroused
a storm of protest. In several pro-
vincial parishes Catholics have gath

strong resistance that the govern

enter the edifices. In Paris violent
scenes took place in several churches,
notably that of st. CfothiIde. An in

of st. Roch has not yet been MADE,

cation. btu the defenders OF the
church of st. CIothfrde succumbet be-

tention of the government to use
every means at its disposal to compei
