Women Who Wear Well .

1t Is astonishing how great . change Q
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 a
peach which is rudely 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 TO the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Why They Should Be Abolished and

Why They Should Be Abolished and
Sheds Provided In Their Place.
Clarke NJ. Drake Of Prattsburg, N.
T., who wants the village hitching post
abolished, writes as follows to the
Farm Journal:
To many horse the hitching post
becomes a freezing post. 1t will have
to go as did the old time whipping
post.
In the gales that often sweep through
the principal business streets Of vii
lage or town q blanket will not ordi-
narily stay on horse. II sudden
rain comes up, the men and women
seek shelter, but the horses have to
soak. The horses are fastened to a
post, and no one could blame them for
breaking away and finding place
which their faithful service has pur-
chased. Many of them are driven hard
to and from the village and severely
suffer at the post from the effects of
wind and storm.
In return for slackness In not provid-
ing sheds for the horses the village
people have TO endure stable odor on
their streets whenever the weather Is
right for 1t. These odors drift into the
stores, and when the dropplngs are
dry and fine the winds blow the partl-
Giles In also.
Some villages provide well built
sheds with feed managers. where horses
may not only enjoy freedom from wind
and rain. but also have the protection
/ Of their blankets and the pleasure of
/ eating bite before returning home
If goods are purchased, they may be
placed In the vehicle and be kept as
dry as when they came from the store
