Women Who Wear Well.

II Is astonishing how great change Q
few years OF married life often make In
tho appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which y rudely handled. The
matron Is only dim shadow. q faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons fer this change -lgnorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock TO the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
che 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

GRAND JURY To
PROBE SMITH
MAKES FORMAL APPLICATION TO
JUSTICE STElN-TlRED OF
COMMISSIONER REFUSAL TO
ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS.

Failing in his efforts 10 secure the
enforcement OF the liquor laws
through Police Commissioners Smith,
William ID. Southwick made a formal
request OF Police Justice Stein. Wed
nesday morning, TO sit as grand
fury for the purpose OF investigating
the commissioners refusal TO act
Justice Stein declined 10 take this
step except on the advice and with the
cooperation OF the prosecuting attor-
ney, Accordingly. Mr.. Southwick put
the matter up 10 Prosecutor Ierkes
at once
Commissioner Smith has had fair
warning" said Mr. Southwick. in eX-
PLANTATION of his action. Il have called
his attention repeatedly TO the CON
ditions existing In this city, to the
open violations OF the liquor laws, and
have urged him to enter complaints
against the offenders. but he has
made no move in this direction. /
believe | have waited long enough.
He has had all the time IN the world
and | want To know the reason for
this inaction."
In this matter, Mr.. Southwick,
through a prominent member OF the
committee OF loo, Is acting as prl-
vate citizen. and entirely on his own
hook, he says. though with the inter
ests OF the whole city at heart. His
crusade against r. E. Moore, saloon
keeper at No. l24 Farmer-st.. imme-
diately adjoining the Weatherbee
building. OF which Mr.. Southwick is
lessee, recently attracted considerable
attention. For about two weeks he
swore out complaints against Moore
almost daily, charging him with keep
Ing open after hours, with the result
that Moore finally decided to close up
-en-ti faa-and avoid further trouble
He Is now awaiting trial IN the re-
corder's court In dozen cases.
These complaints were sworn out
by Mr.. Southwick after Commission
er Smiths attention had been called
to the violations and he had declined
to take any action.
Commissioner Smith made quite a
hit with the law and order element
OF the community, last spring. when
he clapped on the lid and kept IL
screwed down tightly for several
weeks. A few saloonkeepers disre-
garded the order and were promptly
complained against in the police court
TO be convicted later In the recorders
court. But suddenly the lid was hit
ed and there have been no prosecu'
lions since, except those Instituted by
Mr. Southwick.
