Women Who Wear Well.

1t 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
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. 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
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

MANY Autos Visit CITY.

Automobiles from Chicago and
Hammond were out in force yesterday
taking advantage of the beautiful
weather and many parties from both
places were noticed on our streets. No
accidents were reported except col
lision of one of the machines with
an electric light pole near Opars farm
on the Ceder Lake road in which the
pole and the machine were both dam
aged to quite an extent. The machine
hailed from Valparaiso The pole was
cracked in two while the glass wind
shield of the machine was broken into
splenters.
Considering the nature of the gath
ering on Saturday it was remarkable
that no fights or quarrels resulted from
the days celebration as party feeling
is running at high speed and no
breaks just at present. Nothing hap
pened to mar the day and even mother
nature lined up on the republican side
and handed out beautiful day.

rapid decline that 1t was necessary
for her to come there at once. Mrs.

soon returned to California. AS soon
as he reached home he was again
compelled to return to the hospital
where he was told that an operation
would be the only means of saving his
life.

hands of DR.. Billings. and being II
the hospital two weeks Mr.. Hartnett
was informed that the cancers witt
which he was suffering had gained
such a Roadway that he was absolute
ly powerless in the case. and they
would just have to take their course
After a cross country chase in the
hopes of being cured, this news proved
to be much more than Mr.. Hartnet
could stand, and he left the Presby

the girl who was driving over the

injuries.
