Women Who Wear Well.

It 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
brillance 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 check
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

was an Interference with their prop
erty and wanted to pull out the nail;
that thereupon the Turkish govern

watch the nail and see that no picture

pulled out.
TO allow the picture TO be hung
would have been to admit the claims
of those who drove in the nail. To al

been to admit the claims of those who
objected to the driving in of the nail.

DRESSING the Sponge.

When sponges are first torn from
the sea bed they are Of a dark color
and living. By tramping and pressing
them with the feet milky substance
oozes out whereupon the sponge dies.
They are then immersed in the sea
for a space of eight or ten hours. The
dark, skinny substance is then remov-
ed by scraping, and gradually, through
cleaning, drying and bleaching, they
take on the fine yellow color which
characterizes many of them.

that the new pipe organ may not be

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many OF Them Happening Every Day
But Soon Eoruotten,


Close shaves would be Of more fire..
Quent occurrence but for the tender
faces of many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore,
nothing has been said in these COL
umns about poslam, new skin dis
covery, in connection with its use af-
ter shaving. Its publicity and sales
have been confined almost exclusively
to its remarkable properties as an
eczema cure; it stops the itching at
once and cures the worst cases in al
few days. While the application of
poslam after shaving is one Of its
minor uses, such as for pimples, the
complexion, ETC., shavers will find it a
revelation, as it does for abrasions,
roughness, and severe scrapings what
1t does for all manner of skin Difficult
ties-heals and cures in a few hours.
It is the only article possessing real
antiseptic and curative value that has
ever been exploited for this purpose
and will soothe and tone up the skin
IS no toilet preparation could possibly
do.
Poslam can be had for fifty cents al
any reliable druggists, particularly
the Mcbride & Will Drug Company
who make a, specially of it. Or the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 80 West
18th street, New York City, will sene
a'trial supply free by mail to any one
who will write for it. This is sufficien
to show results in "a hours.
