Women Who Wear Wen.

II Is astonishing how great change q
few years OF married life often mako in
tho appearance and disposition OF many
women. Tho freshness, the charm, the
brillance vanish like the bloom from Il
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 70 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
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF It's
fairness.

feature of the evening consisted of al
debate on the question Resolved, That
Oslerism Be Practiced.' The affirm
ative speakers were Mrs. Henrietta
Wray and Mrs. Helen Taylor. The
negative was defended by Mrs. Mary
Stafford and Mrs. Emma Payne. The
debate was opened by Mrs. Wray with
a brief and amusing talk in the affirm
alive. The argument sustained in the
negative by Mrs. Payne was to the eff
feet that many men having reached the
ages Of so. rs and even 80 years are
holding important positions, standing
as heads of great concerns. A man Is
not eligible to the presidency until he
has reached the age of 40 years. Old
men are needed for council as they
have at their command large fund of
experience from which to draw, while a
young man makes sflipwreck Of an en-
terprise undertaken while the lessons
experience teaches are yet unlearned.
Mrs. Taylor, speaking in the affirma-
tive, called attention to the fact that
man at 40 years Of age has become
sour. He is grouchy has forgotten that
he was ever a boy and it is with sigh
Of relief that his wife sees her husband
depart for his Office. She further stat
ed that men, unlike women, do not
grow old gracefully. The debate ended
form is still an unanswered question in
P. 3. o., so that the aged husbands OF
Chapter B are not yet out of danger.

TAKES ACTION ON
JOINT RATE BILLS
oTTUMWA COMMERCIAL AssocIA.
TON SENDS COMMITTEE TO
DIES MONIES
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The Ottumwa Commercial associa-
ton will send committee to confer
with the railroad committee Of the
lower house of the state assembly at
Des Mo1nes in regard to the joint rate
bills now being considered by that COM
mfttee. This action was decided upon
at a called meeting held this after
noon.
The joint rate proposition is one
that vitality affects Ottumwa. Under
the present condition Ottumwa manu-
facturers and jobbers are often unable
to compete with other business enter
prises in certain territories because of
the inequality of rates where trans
fer from one line to another is re-
CURED.
The committee selected by the as.
ISOLATION is composed of Hon. S. H.
Harper, chairman, and Paul Arbenz.
In speaking Of the object of the COM
mittee this afternoon Mr.. Harper said:
At the present time in many cases,
the rates charged where goods are
shipped over two lines are almost
double what they would be according
to the Iowa distance tariff rates, over
one line. Two bills or perhaps more
are now before the railroad commit
tee of the house of representatives
Manufacturers Interested.
One of these calls for joint rate OF
about 125 per cent, that is Is per cent
additional to what the rate would be
for the same distance over single
line. The other calls for rate of ITO
per cent. While the object of our
committee is to obtain if possible &C
ton Of some kind that will relieve the
present situation, think we shall be
inclined to favor the former bill, as |
believe Ito per cent is so small a mar
gin shat the transfers would be a
source of loss to the railroads, and it
would therefore be manifestly unfair.
Manufacturers associations and such
bodies as the commercial association
all over the state are taking this ques-
ton up at this time"

WOULD BREAK
FATHERS WILL

From Wednesdays Daily.
Claiming that she is the only daugh-
ter and sole heir of William Shoe
maker, an aged resident of Agency,
who died last December, and that her
father was unduly influenced in the
making of a will recently submitted to
probate, in which her name is not men,
toned. Mrs. Dora West of st. Paul,
MINI, has filed a suit in the district
court asking that the will be set aside.
by the attorneys for the plaintiff at
$25, 900.
William Shoemaker passed away on
December rs, 1906, at his home in
Agency, aged 70. During January,
1907, will purporting to be his last
will and testament, was probated in
the district court of Wapello county
This will was dated December Is, or
ten days before his death.
The will was not contested when it
came up for probate by the plaintiff
of the present case, as she claims she
did not know Of the documents exist
ence until after it had been probated.
The will makes sister of the dead
man, Mrs. Mary l.. Stout, nephew,
William E. Stout, both of Denver, and
a niece, Ida B. Ruby of Cloves, Colo,
the sole heirs. These heirs are made
defendants in Mrs. Vests suit.
Was Under Influence of Sister.
| In her petition Mrs. West alleges
that at the time the will in question
was made, William Shoemaker was
an aged and decrepit man, being weak
both in body and in mind. Further,
she claims that he was completely u1l-
der the influence of his sister. Mrs.
Stout, the principal beneficiary of the
will.
Mrs. West claims also the disposi-
ton of the property in this will was
procured through the use of undue in
1uence by Mrs. Stout and that her
father was totally incapacitated be.
cause of his mental state for the max.
| ing of mis- will.
Therefore she asks not only that the
will be set aside, but that judgment be
rendered against the defendants in the
case for the costs of the action. Steck
Daugherty & Steck are the attorneys
for the plaintiff.
