"A German doctor lays it down
as we'll established fact based on
close observation that women who
do not marry until thirty-tive or
thereabout invariably achieve mat
rimonial success. Why women of
this particular age should make
more successful marriages than
those who fall victims to loves
young dream is fairly obvious.
When young woman marries be-
tween thirty and forty she either
does SO for companionship, choosing
her mate accordingly, OF from need,
in which case she also chooses with
a certain amount Of care. She has
no wild dreams Of unalloyed Miss.

There is some consideration
being paid by Illinois Central Off
Gals, relative to replacing extra
service. Whether or not this mat
ter would effect the Dubuque divi-
sion is not certain, but on the west
end, between Fort Dodge and Sioux
City, Clipper" train seems nee
essary; also between Waterloo and
Fort Dodge. AS result of the
change, providing it is best to
adapt it, it would be necessary to
give eastern Iowa similar service,
which would be appreciated by
patrons. Traffic is assuming larger
proportions than the officers Of the
road hoped for or expected at this
time, and if present conditions con
tinue, it will be necessary TO restore
the former service.
Our town is often surprised by
1.-The tasteful and artistic decorations
of store windows. The dry goods
merchants take especial interest in
their displays and the clothing men.
as well are subscribers to maya
zines, which teach proper and eff
fective window decorations. Last
week Gildner Brothers placed on
Exhibition q window, advertising
prominently the Lusitania collar,
which has been brought before the
people in magazines and news
papers for several months by Cluett
| Peabody & Co., shirt and collar
makers. Newspapers and window
trimmings are two of the best
means of advertising the merchants
wares and goods, and if the country
paper and shopkeeper will work to-
gether consistently, the result is
i profit for both.
