Women Who Wear Wen.

It Is astonishing how gssat = change .
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition OF many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliancs vanish like the bloom from
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
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

Recorder Sykes fined the officer
$50 and discharged Herndon.
There has been right much COM

case, some saying that the re-

and others saying that he only
gave what he should.
Friends Of Officer Knapp went
to work as soon as they heard Of
the decision of the recorder and
raised the amount of his fine and
paid it for him.
