Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great a change o
few wears of married life often make IN
the appearance and disposition OF man!
women. The freshness, the charm, tho
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. Inc
matron is only n dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, Ignorance ana
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change. which comes with marriage ana
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the 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
of its freshness and the form OF It's
fairness.

cused Gen. Felix Agnus of the Balti-
more American, testified regarding his
various contracts with paper makers,

told that If the tariff on print paper
was removed he would be given a re-

GERMANY FORCED
TO HUSTLE HARD.
MUST BORROW S250,0O0,000
IN FIVE YEARS
Huge Sum VIII Be Necessary, Even
Though the Annual Appropria-
tions Are Not Increased
Before Four Years
BY Associated Press.

<AooSNAotSd
BERLIN, April 30.-That the impe-
rial government must borrow $250,000,-
900 during the next five years was the
substance of an admission made by
Secretary of the Treasury Sydow to
the appropriations committee of the
reichstag today
These borrowings will be necessary
even though the appropriations for
each year are not impressed before
1912.
At the time this statement was made
the committee was discussing a pro-
posal of Chairman Paasches, nominal
liberal, for a definite bill from the
government to fix sinking fund re-
quirements. Herr Eszberger, Socialist.
said the members of the committee
must be shocked by the governments
reckoning that thousand million
marks more must be borrowed to cover
the annual deficits in the ordinary
budgets for another five years, and
that actually very much more proba-
bly, would be required.
Continuing, Herr Erzberger made
several illusions to the burdens which
this generation was creating for sub
sequent ones by the policy of spend
ing far beyond its income.
Herr Sydow said he also was shocked
by the prospect of having to borrow
$3.50, COO 900 and he declared the empire
must. under all circumstances aban-
don its borrowing policy
The committee adopted Herr Paas-
che's proposal that the government
present an amortization scheme.
