GET new DIRECTORY
Milwaukee Co. Has Just Finished
a Directory of Rural Routes
in This and Racine Co.'s
TO STOP MAIL ORDER TRADE

Agents of the Wright Directory Pub
fishing company Of Milwaukee were in
Kenosha today closing up the work Of
making a new directory of all the farm
ers on rural routes in Kenosha and Ra-
cine counties and the book will be issu-
ed within the next sixty days. Forty
rural routes have been covered by the
directory and as most Of the two coun-
ties are covered by the rural routes the
directory will be practically list of
all the farmers in the two counties.
The book is not to be sold but the
company will send out 5000 Of the
books with the view of reaching nearly
all of the heads Of families in the two
counties. In addition to this the books
will be distributed among the leading
business houses of Racine and Kenosha.
In speaking Of the plan for the work
this morning Mr.. Mcdonald who has
represented the Wright Company in
Kenosha for number of years said:
ut is our purpose to help the mer-
ohdHto anu OGHel UuSIu0SS men OF. Gn6
two cities to get into closer touch with
the people on the rural routes with a
view Of switching the great mail order
business which is now carried on BY
the aid of these routes to the merchants
in the cities of Racine and Kenosha
We believe that if the people in the
rural districts are given a chance to
get acquainted with home dealers that
they will be very liable to patronize
them rather than the mail order
houses. : He stated that this was the
sole purpose of the issuance of the
directory and that the entire cost of
iTe publication and circulation had been
provided by the advertisers.

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

matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
Of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance 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
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar.
rage and motherhood, not understanding
