The TYRANNY of cIotbes

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
In her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from n
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages.
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these inn
portnnt crises.
Women should remember that lydia

"UNwRITTEN LAW" EFFECTIVE.
Slayer of Man Who Had Relations
With Killers Wife Acquitted
by Texas jury,


Lee Randol, charged with the muir
der of j. p. Stacey, has been acquitted
by jury at Fort Worth, Tex, after a
trial of few days. The case was
similar to that of Harry X. Thaw, but
the defense relied entirely on the
'unwritten law"
Randol killed Stacey September %,
1906, and, according to all witnesses
it was a cold -blooded affair. The dead
man was unarmed.
The defense did not attempt to
prove self-defense or insanity. Instead,
1t introduced letter written by the
dead man to Randol's wife just be-
fore the killing.
When the prisoner was asked. Did
you kill Stacey because of his rela-
tons with your wife?' Randol ans
wered, 81 did"
The verdict of the jury was unani-
nous.
