Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great q 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, 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.
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of Its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

That Medical Board.

The situation, it seems to us,
would be greatly simplified if
the law should provide for a sim
gle board of medical examiners,
which board should be composed
in the proportion of 81 per cent
Of intelligent laymen and the bal
ance of representatives of the
several established branches of
the healing art. Likewise, the
State Board of Health or at
least that branch of it which
deals with the regulation of the
sale of medicine and foodstuffs-
should be composed in proper
proportion of scientists and
sound, level-headed business
men.
During the past few years the
tendencyof all Legislative dealings
with these subjects has been to
exalt the power of boards com
posed purely of medical men, and
to invest such boards with pow
er that ought properly to reside
in the people. The rights 'and
privileges which the citizen
ought to enjoy are taken from
him and vested in a sort of medi-
crl oligarchy, whose will is law,
and whose every whim must be
obeyed. B. r. State.

The States Finacial Condition, Surprise
To Everybody.

~ LFCt yUOoy'
When we state that the State
of Louisiana has in the State
Fiscal Agency Banks $2,4OO,OOO
that sounds well, but when wei
further state that not one dollar
of this large sum belongs in the
general state fund.- right
there the surprise comes in, but
it is nevertheless true. The
money in the treasury belongs
to special funds and cannot be
appropriated except where it
belongs. Now we will tell you
something that will be sure
enough surprise. The last leg
islature appropriated not only
every dollar to the credit of 1907
but appropriated $4,000 OF
the anticipated revenues Of 1908.
| There's where the trouble comes
in and will temporarily embar-
rass the present state admins
tration and cause the present
legislature to be poWerless to
aid properly the states instltu-
tions, the schools, the levees and
do more for the veterans whose
age and infirmities call for more
money.
The real situation, it's finaclal
condition to day is about as fol
lows:
The states anticipated reven-
ues, with a 5 mill rate of taxation
will be a little more than 81 1900,
900. Of this amount $817,OOC
has been appropriated to pay the
: expense of the State Govern
) ment, and to take care of every
state institution, there will be
left 100000. Now, can it be
done? The people are anxious fol
a 4 mill rate tax limit instead OF
as a present. 5 mills. The peo
pie are claiming that the assess
ments of property are too high
The demands and the expecta
tions of the people cannot all b'
supplied. To have and get tn
state on cash basis and hav'
no deficit, one of three thing
must be done. The first is, pu
the rate of taxation back t.
where it was at 6 mills on the dol
lar. To do this the people will
object. The second is, to rails
the assessed value of property
To this the people again will OF
q loot The third is. TO cut out a,
N useless boards and over PAL
officials. Create no new Office
r. and make no appropriation
