Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change /.
lew yearssof married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm tho
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 Tor 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 w.ak-
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
AS surely as the general health suffers
when there is defspgement of the health
Of the delicate womafSy organs, so surely

PLANTING SCHOOL YARDS.
teep the Interior Open and Place
Shrubs on the Sides.


Keep the center of the school grounds
free. Do not scatter thes trees and
shrubs over it. They will be in the
way. The boys will break them down.
Moreover, they do not look well when
scattered over the whole area. When
an artist makes a picture with many
people in it he does not place the per
sons one by one all over his canvas
He masses them. Thereby he secures
q stronger effect. He focuses attention
rather than distributes it. Most per
sons make yard a nursery by plant
ing trees all over it. The same trees
and shrubs can be used to make either
a nursery or picture.
Begin with the fundamentals, not
with the details. If an artist is to
make portrait he first draws few
bold strokes, representing the general
outline. He blocks out the picture.
With the general plan well in mind he
gradually works in the incidentals and
the details-the nose. eyes. beard
Most persons reverse this natural or
der when they plant their grounds
They first ask about the kinds of roses.
the soil for carnations, how far apart
hollyhocks shall be planted.
1t is as II the artist first asked about
the color of the eyes and the fashion
of the necktle or as If the architect
first chose the color Of paint and then
planned his building. The result Of
this type of planting is that there is
no plan, and the yard means nothing
when ii is done. Begin with the plan.
not with the plants. The school ground
should be hollow-well planted on the

next the highway should contain little

How II Caused a Siekly Spot to Be-

Not so very long ago the city OF
Vera Cruz. in the lowlying coast coun-
try of Mexico. was one of the sicklieSt
spots on the continent. and because OF
its high death rate it was given wide
berth by natives and foreigners alike"
said Julian ID. Appling of Chicago 20
reporter of the Baltimore American. Mr.
Appling Is interested in Il large sugar
estate near the above mentioned town
and is thoroughly familiar with condi-
tions in the sister republic.
"The old sinister reputation of Vera
Cruz" he continued. has been entirely
Obliterated thanks to the talents and
good Offices Of one man, an English
man of the name of Samuel Pierson.
a millionaire promoter and developer
who has invested large sums of money
in the town and surrounding country
What Pierson did was the simple act
OF installing a flushing system by
which the streets Of the city got a
daily washing. The streets once so
dirty and prolific OF disease now get
thorough cleansing every twenty-four
hours. and the water after performing
its service is carried away by per
feet sewerage plant
"Since the installation Of the street
baths yellow fever has become a thing
of the past. once scourge, there has
not been a case of 1t in Vera Cruz for
the past FIVE years. and the town that
of yore was stunned has become a
veritable health resort, people. going
there to get back their health from the
higher sections OF the republic and
especially from the City of Mexico.
