Women who Wear Wen.

Its astonishing how great change .
few years Of married life often make In
tho appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness. the charm, the
brillIanee vanish like the bloom from

reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to tho system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek

AND ROBBED.

Under circumstances strongly sug.

Of about 81 years, as yet unidentified,
died in the Detroit Sanitarium about
s O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, pre-
sumably from morphine poisoning.
The man was taken from Wabash

cago at S:15 Wednesday morning. He
had been unconscious for some hours
and remained SO up to his death. Cor
oner Parker, who Is investigating the
case, suggests that the man may have
been drugged and robbed In Chicago
while waiting for his train, and board
ed the train before the drug had rem
dered him insensible. The body is
in the county morgue waiting identi-
cation.
The man ostensibly hailed from To-
ronto. A ticket from Toronto to Buff
falo and return, and another from
Buffalo to New Orleans, via Chicago.
and return, were found In his pockets.
The New Orleans ticket bore the
name "E. Chilcott," but as this name
had been written several times on the
back of a card found In one of his
pockets. as though the writer desired
to get familiar with the signture, Cor
oner Parker doubts whether the name
was the mans own. The card In ques-
