Women Who Wear Wen.

It is astonishing how great a change q
few years of married life often make Ia
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, q faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are TIVE
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 mag
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of Sits
fairness.

REVIEWS RECOMMENDATION
hughes Replies to Defeat of Anti
Gambling Bills.

Albany, N. Y, April 10.-Following
the failure of the senate to pass the
aRti-raestrack gambling bills Gov.
asnor Hughes sent to the legislature
q message renewing his recommends
tion for tho enactment of this legisla-
ton and asking for the enactment of
eight other propositions now pending
before the legislature. The recon
mend ations include:
The passage OF appropriate legisla-
ton to prevent the present so-called
discrimination of the Percy-Gray law,
which practically legalizes gambling
On racetracks.
Legislation to effect a reform in
banking methods.
Direct primary nominating cleo
tions
Legislation which will place tele-
phone and telegraph companies under
the jurisdiction of the public service
commission.
The passage of bills which will ia
cilitate. the construction of subways
in New York city.
The governor also urges investiga-
tion by commission of, first, Wall
street speculation; second, the ques-
ton of immigration; third, the ques-
ton of the unemployed in this state.
and, fourth, the relation of the inferior
courts to certain criminal procedure.
Relative to the Hart-Agnew bills
the governor in his message says:
Abolish Racetrack Gambling.
81 again urge you to enact appro-
pirate legislation to abolish the exist
ing determinations in favor of race
track gambling.
THE failure of the upper branch of
your honorable body to pass the meas
ures designed to effect this purpose,
after their passage in the lower
branch, cannot be regarded as dis
posing of the matter. The constitu-
ton, with it's peremptory mandate,
still stands.
The evil of racetrack gambling
dourishes not in spite of the law, but
because of the law. Legislation pre-
tending to carry out the constitutional
provision in effect nullif1es it. You
are not asked to accomplish the i'm
possible or to write upon the statute
books visionary scheme of moral

PLANS EXTRA SESSION
Governor Hughes Eager to Secure
Anti-Gambling Legislation.
PRESENT BODY DEADLOCKED

Election to Fill the Vacancy Caused
by the Death of State Senator Fran
ehot, a Republican.
Albany, N. Y, April Ex-Governor
Hughes has decided to call special
election May II for the election of a
successor to the late Senator Fran
chot The governor believes that the
new apportionment act of last year
does not preclude him from calling
such an election, as the Forty-seventh
district was not changed.
There was also an authoritative in
timation froM the executive chamber
that, "if necessary, and it will prob
ably be necessary" an extra session
of the legislature will be called by
the governor to begin May II.
The legislature has set April % as
the date for final adjournment.
1t was suggested to the governor
that certain opponents of the race
track legislation had stated that in
the event of an extra session being
called a recess would be taken until
The end of the year. The governor
smiled, bat refused to discuss the
matter.

Christiania.

The exchange of professors plan
has struck a popular chord in the Nor
wegian capital and Chancellor Henry
Mitchell MacCracken, of New York
university, and President Nicholfs
Murray Butler, of Columbia university,
will deliver lectures at the University
Of Christiania after completing their
ngagements in Copenhagen. The sue
cess of this venture has now oc-
casioned a new proposition. On the
American side it is proposed that
common fund be contributed by the
Universities of Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota and Iowa to bring
lecturers from Scandinavian institu
tons and they in turn will send their
representatives to Christiania, Copen
hagen and Stockholm. The entire
matter has been preached within Il
universities at Copenhagen and Chris
tiania are eager for contamination
of the plan, and have unofficially eN-
pressed their willingness to enter into
agreements for the sending over of
their professors. If the institutions
in Norway and Denmark take favor
able action on any proposition made
by American universities, there is lit
tie doubt but that similar action will
be taken by a Swedish university,
probably the Upsala university.
The Aftenposten christianity states
that thousands of ancient documents,
many of them containing "Sa gas
were about two hundred years ago
loaned from the government archives
to a learned Icelander, whose name
was Arne Magnusson. Before he died
he ordered that the collection be sent
to the royal library at Copenhagen
where it is claimed the collection Of
documents may still be found. The
Aftonbladet is now urging the govern
ment to take up the matter and it may

curing the return of the collection to
Norway, where. according to the AT
tonbIadet. it rightfully belongs.
Instead of erecting a monument in
honor of the late Edward Grieg, it is
now proposed to erect temple Of
music which is to bear his name. Large
appropriations for this purpose are ex-
pected from abroad. Musical Germany
has signified her willingness to joir
and several musical organizations
have signifed their willingness to
send substantial sums Of money.

fine academic training. He has been
the co worker of Moody and Booth
Tucker, the visitor of Gladstone and
Pope Leo XIII, comrade of the lead

writer upon the New York Journal
he has startled and moved million
readers into practical, religious
thought and forced New York into
humanity towards it working girls
and it's fallen; and while still boy
preacher he outstripped the wheels of
of justice and moved the vilest MUIR

Electric Light Rates Reduced

The electric light rates have been
reduced 20 per cent with an addition
al reduction for large consumers.
The new rate takes effect from the
beginning of the year. The rate is as
follows:
For less than so kilowatts 10 cents
per kilowatt.
From 81 to ITO kilowatts 9 cents
per kilowatt.
From Ill to 1877 kilowatts 8 cents
per kilowatt. ~. @~~- .,>~->>~ -~~
From 1873 kilowatts and over y
cents per kilowatt.
With these rates there will be the
usual S per cent discount for cash
and the minium charge of $l.O0 as
heretofore.
Early last year it was apparent to
the council that the electric meters
were not doing their work properly
so last fall every meter was cleaned
and overhauled and where meters
were found that were beyond repair
new meters were installed. The re-
suit was that when people were pay
ing for the amount of electricity they
were using it was found that the rate
was too high. It is thought that the
rate as given above is adequate to
keep the plant on paying basis and
still low enough SO that all will use
electric lights in their residences and
business houses. Last summer a
new dynamo was installed at the
plant large enough to take care of the
needs of the village for some time.
As there will not be much added
expense it seems that it is wiser
plan to do a greater volume of busi-
ness at lower rate that has just been
made. As the electric light plant is
owned by the village it is to the in.
terest of every citizen to help make it
more than merely selfsustaining.
