Women Who Wear Well.

II Is astonishing how great q change q
few years OF married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brllliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which IS rudcly handled. Tho
matron is only dim shadow, n faint echo
OF tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through tho
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.

Best Treatment For Tuny Children.

Children often become thin and pale,
and sometimes there is no apparent cause
for this low state of the system. These
little unfortunates are known as puny
children. Rydale's Tonic is the best med
icine ever produced for puny children.
1t matters not whether this rundown
state of the system is caused by ill health,
overstudy or growing too fast. Rydale's

a hole for luck to enter the game.
When we consider the advance the
pass had made during the past two
years, the outlook leads one to be-
lieve it will open possibilities for
development along undesirable
lines.
The rule necessary to restrict the
play will require careful study
upon the part of the rules commit
tee.
A rule combining the scrimmage
line to proper distance from the
point where the ball is snapped
might solve the problem without
eliminating the pass.
Forfeiture Of the ball on the sec
ond down, after falling to make
the pass, would prevent its indis.
criminate use.
There has been some talk Of re-
ducing the value of a goal from
placement or drop. There is a pos.
sibility that such a change will be
made, but it is not best to jump to
the conclusion that the play shall
count for less than four points on
the ground that touchdown Is
harder to score.
Take the case of team carrying
the ball close to its opponents goal
line several times and failing to
score because Of a wet field. Sup
pose 1t finally kicked goal from it's
opponents 15-yard line. Would 1t
be fair to reward this offensive
strength with but two or three
points?
1t would appear that, if the
points are reduced from four to
either three or two, the side trying
for and making goal inside its
opponents 15-yard line should be
given the subsequent advantage of
receiving the ball, as stated above,
on kickoff from the opponents
35-yard line.

Crowley, until Thanksgiving day

an accident backed with Celtic
pluck. and, when measured by
deeds, all wool and yard wide.
Crowley has been a member Of
the IrshAmerican Athletic club
for several years. but never partici-
pated in athletic events.
But the Marathon coming on a
holiday, Crowley conceived the idea
of bringing distinction to his club
by winning the race. He said moth

whether the combination under con-
sideration was a reasonable one or
not would be determined by the jul
dicial department. as such ques-
tions were determined at common
law, in prosecutions against COM
binations for unlawful restraint of
trade.
That it is time to quit the indis-
eliminate denunciation of incOr-
porated enterprise, including rail-
roads and the Ike, simply because
they are incorporated, no thought
full man denies. The corporation is
civilizations best method of WELD
ing the nations industrial energy.
Incorporated enterprise of every
kind, including the railroads of the
country, now rest upon the wealth
of the people gathered into the
money centers through the financial
institutions of the country. That
wealth, more than thirteen billions
of dollars, would If returned to its
individual owners in the form of
the securities into which it has
been put, constitute the almost en-

Of The present financial disturb
ances is the fact that more than
in any other period in history the
few are doing business with the
money of the multitude; so that
when the multitude asks for it's
money for other purposes the few
find themselves embarrassed in
their efforts to return it.
I The two chief functions of the
proposed national commission will
be, first, to so reconstruct the cor
pOration that the inGus;rial proper

the natural order of things the in
corporated property of the country,

he said, as he toed the mark.
With the crack of the pistol
Crowley leaped to the front, and,
after traversing 10 miles, he led the
field by two miles.
Then, through sheer ignorance,
he committed the fatal mistake that
cost him the race. He gulped down
part of the contents of a pail of ice
water and collapsed.
But his performance was already
recognized as one of the most won
derful in athletic history. For al
most an hour Crowley was uncon-
scious. Then he arose and tried to
continue. but could not.
His wonderful feat, accomplished
without moments preparation
he never trained in his life-aroused
the interest and admiration of the
l. A. A. c. trainers, and Crowley
is carrying the hod no longer.

are getting their moneys worth Of
melodrama this week The queen
made her first appearance last
night in the person of Maxine Full
er at the head of band Of stage

this suspicious beginning the play
runs through course of action and
sensation with comedy trimmings.
There are a numbers of lively
character studies and love making
on the side. Robert Barrett is
strong in an Indian part of his own
creation, and Miss Fuller fills the
requirements of a bandit queen in
dashing style. Monte Carter has

archenemy of dishonest trust. He
was a conspicuous figure in the
antitrust conference recently held
in this city.
The conference adopted resolu-
ton to ask congress for federal
commission to regulate trusts.
II was this action that led to
President Roosevelt's request, with
which Judge Grosscup has decided
to comply.
The Judge was asked to write for
this newspaper statement giving
his idea Of the purpose and powers
of the proposed commission. 1t
follows:
BY JUDGE PETER s. GROsscUP
The national commission, If con-
gress adopts the recommendation
of the civic federation conference,
will be a nonpartisan body appoint
ed by the president, from the diff
ferent states, and representative,
as far as possible Of the different
interests. Its function will be to
formulate a bill or bills to be re-
ported later to congress, on the
subject of corporations and COM
binations in interstate commerce.
The purpose of the federation in
asking for this commission is to
put into concrete form the construc-
tive thought Of the country upon
these subjects.
That the Sherman act needs
amending, nearly every thoughtful
man admits. AS it stands at pres
ent 1t prohibits combinations in

selves are reasonable, as we'll as

this result, that the question wheth-

ment as a preliminary 10 whether
the combination should be prose-
cuted at all; while if the law were
