Women Who Wear We'll

1t is astonishing now great change
a few years of married life will make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from 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. Many
neglect to deal with the unpleasant
drains which are often consequent on
marriage and motherhood, not under
standing that this secret drain is rob-
bling the cheek Of its freshness and the
form of its fairness. AS surely as the
general health suffers when there Is
arrangement of the health of the deli
cate womanly organs, so surely when
these organs are established in health
the face and form at once witness to
the fact in renewed comeliness. Half

THE BRITISH RAILROAD STRIKE

The general railroad strike in Great Britain
and Ireland which was ordered Yesterday and
which may prove to be the most formida HE
ana costly strike in the history of British labor
troubles cannot be regarded as a hastily under-
taken project Opinions as to its wisdom NAV
dlher, but there can he only one opinion as
to the deliberation with which II has been or
ganlZed and ordered. For many weeks If has
been debated by the labor unions, by the rail
road directors and by the general public IN
Vulnerable conferences have been held and in
Vulnerable speeches and newspaper articles
have been put forth. There is no phase of the
whole case, of the conditions which have led
to the strike or Of the possible results of if
which has not been deliberately considered ana
e1haustively discussed That fact may be sat
lsfactory from one point Of view. indicating
that neither side is acting rashly or on the i'm
pulse OF passion. From another it is ominous
OF the stubborn determination with which the
strike is likely to be fought out to the bitter
end
This deliberatiOn has made it possible 10 de
clare without trace of uncertainty the object
of the strike. 1t is purely and simply to gain
from the railroad companies official recognition
or the labor unions. so that the companies will
deal with their employees through the accredited
heads or representatives of the unions All else

and what nOt-is 10 come later The primary
object Is to get the unions recognized as labor
unions are In many, but not ALL other industries
so that Mr.. Richard Bell, the chief organizer
ana leader OF the strike, will be able to enter
the board rooms of railroad directors and deal
with them in behalf of scores of thousands of
employees. That issue was adopted indeed
nearly year ago, when in December of last
year the executive committee of the Amalga-
mated Society of Railway Servants-of which
society Mr.. Bell is general secretary-approyed
resolution which had been passed by a ma
tonal convention, that the time has arrived
when the members Of the society insist upon
1.-THE recognition of Mr.. Bell and the other head
Officials by the railway companies to negoti-
"ate on their behalf"
There Is reason to fear that the strike will
prove very widespread The companies some
time ago expressed confidence that the AssO-
ciated Society of Engine Drivers and Firemen
would not join the Amagamated Society in
striking since the two organizations were not
on friendly terms But a fortnight ago the two
apparently settled their differences, and there Is
now reason TO expect that they will act TO-
gether. The companies will appeal for public
sympathy and support on the ground that the
strike is of socialistic inspiration and is mani
festation of that menace of socialism" which
the British public has been discussing so vou-
minously; and that ground will be not devoid
Of truth. On the other hand. the unions have
shrewdly delayed the strike until after the

just where the money goes and what it accom-
plshes in the way of results.
New York cannot hope to keep its eXpeDdi-

The city is obliged TO undertake so many great
enterprises in order to insure the safety. com
fort and convenience of its population that pub
lie outlay must steadily increase. We must have
new bridges and subways an enlarged water
supply, more parks and more schools Such
undertakings are really wise investments. We
need not begrudge money spent which will in
sure an ample return. But we should set our
municipal house in strict business order and
try to repTeSs casual waste while making genu-
inc betternents. Nor should hurry with
distant improvements that our annual eXpendi-
ture leaps $27.OOOOO0. or more than % per cent

time in either wealth or population.
