Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a 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 flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only dim
shadow, a faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock Of 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 understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek Of its freshness and the form Of
It's fairness.
As surely IS the general health suffers

of the delicate womanly organs, so surely

cross examination. In which the good

by signs that touched him as deeply az

worst rascals. an engaging manner and
the power of imposing on the simple

very positively that there were no

they were together. And though his
sly successor as positively swore that
such stain upon the kerseymere

though this was afterward proved In
the medical evidence to be a blood

COMPLAINT BRINGS RESULT.

improved mail facilities over the lines
IF the wisconsin Central from this city
are assured as result of a complaint that
was lodged by Postmaster II. u. kress
and which has brought an order for the
carrying of mail pouch to Nalders on
the early morning train, leaving here at
8 o'clock. This will prove boon to
residents of st. Nazianz and that vicini-
ty and the rural route patrons of that
section of the county who for some time
past have had their NAL delayed one,
two and, sometimes, three days before
delivery. A change in the time card a
few weeks ago proved unsatisfactory in
providing facilities for mails from this
city and ST. Nazianz and that vicinity
failed to receive the mails the day they
were dispatched from here, as should
have been the case. Postmaster kress
took the matter in hand and today re-.
ceiyed advices that after Dec. 20, the
morning Central train would carry a
mail pouch for Valders and rural carri-
ers there will receive the mail for deliv-
cry the same day, thus accommodating
residents of that section of the county.

A SUGGESTION.
Contributed

With Christmas staring you in tn,
face, and the problem of an appropri
ate gift to be solved the membership
committee of the Young Mems Christian
Association suggest what they believ,
to be the most practical aud appropri
ate one of ala membership ticket in the
Y. M. c. A. This is not only good foi
the festive season, but, better still, il
lasts 365 days Of the year.
The basis of membership in the asso
citation is not one of creed or calling,
but it is put on the basis Of good mora
character. Since character has so much
to do with success of a man today the
Young Mems Christian Association ha,
not been slow in Offering splendid oppor
tunities to a man or boy to build up .
strong sturdy manhood.
There are several features about q
gift of this kind that are noticeable
First, there is that daily reminder OF
the thoughtfulness of the donor. Sc
condly the privilege of giving to an
other an opportunity to benefit in body
mind, and morals is very practica
way of demonstrating your regard fol
that person. If all of your friends are
lucky enough to already be members OF
the association there is still that chance
to give that memberrhip to some
worthy young fellow who perhaps has
not experienced n real joyous Christ
mas tide. Again if you are casting a
round for n suitable present for your
self, one of this kind would prove II pay
ing investment.
A more practical way to give, in keep
ing with the true Christmas spirit, can
not be found. A postal sent to the
General Secretary, j. p. Ashbrook, OF
the Association will bring to you fur,
ther information and the new prospect
us, Does this appeal to You M bus
mess man or as n parent Think il

CITY ATTORNEY H0UGEN
To Appear Before Rate Commission

At its meeting last Monday night the
city council authorized the city attorney,
A. l.. Hougen, to appear before the
Rate Commission at the meeting in
January. The city will endeavor to
get the valuation of the Water works
plant reduced. This action was brought
about by the recommendation of the
fire and water committee.
1t will be remembered that the matter
of appraising the Water Works plant
was brought before the Rate Commission
as a result of the special election held
in September. The engineers sent by
the commission recently made a report
in which the valuation was considered
too high and it is now the intention that
the matter be argued before the Com.
mission by the attorney as the city's re-
preventative.
