ROBBERS VISIT JONES' MARKET
But TAKE NOTHING Of VALUE
Motive of Deed IS Mystery--Papers were Ratified
and Store Carefully Searched Parties Seem

burglars were looking for son
document that they could not find.
Mr.. Jones states that he left his
desk in orderly shape when he went
home the night before. When he
came down in the morning every
thing had been gone through and
the papers were left scattered in
disorder over the desk and floor.
Even receipt files, old checks, books
for several years back, and every.
thing in the shop had been searched.
From the manouvers of the burg
lars it Is evident that they either
believed that there was a sum of
money concealed around the shop,
and intended to search every crevice,
or they were in sseaich ot. some
document on which they placed
value. Mr.. Jones says that he
knows of no document be has in his

A FALSE ALARM

The fire department answered
their first fire alarm Monday, and
acquitted themselves with credit.

convinced that angry flames cannot

Women Who Wear Well.

It is astonishing how great change q
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
briiliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a 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
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF it's freshness and the form Of its
fairness.
