known, Is being criticised by the New

Mexican Silver King Gives Millions
To Relief OF The Poor Poems

CHIHUAHUA. Mexico, May 4.--Pe-
dro Alvarado, the perennial Santa
Claus OF Mexico, has completed his
usual Easter offering, this time the
distribution OF $2.000,000 for the re-
lief of the poor. Most of it was
handled through priests and the
church organization. though several
agents were I'm direct charge. 1t was
a practical charity throughout.
Ten years ago Alvarado was a
miner, working for 80 cents day.
His wealth came from the Palmillo
mine, near Parral, where he resides.
which he discovered and developed.
Now it's daily production Is in excess
OF 5000 tons of high-grade silver ore
and his wealth is estimated at more
than S100.000,000.
He frankly declares that he has
more money than he knows what to
do with. One form OF his charity
Is to donate homesteads TO poor
Mexicans, and he has given away
several thousand OF these. His dream
is to see the Mexican poems. from
which class he spfang, become self
sustaining.
For several years after the de-
velopment OF the mine and the
foundation of his fortune, Alavardo
continued TO nve in poems hut. Now

1t is astonishing how great change
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 q flower which is rudely

shadow, faint echo of the charming
maiden. Few young women appreciate
the shock of 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
riage and motherhood, not understand
