Women Who Wear Well

Il IS astonishing how great q change .
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
brilliancs vanish like the bloom from q
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 tho
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
ifagc and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

WORK OF TAFT APPROVED.
Wisconsin Republicans Indorse Pres
ident and State Administration.

The administration of President
William H. Taft is strongly Endorsed
in the platform unanimously adopted
at the Wisconsin Republican State con-
Vention in Milwaukee. The present
tariff law is approved and the provis-
ions for maximum and minimum
schedules and future scientific revis-
ions are commended. Gov. Davidson's
administration also is indorsed
Every mention of the Presidents
name was followed by demonstration.
Vice President Sherman, who came
from Washington for the purpose of
addressing the convention, received a
warm welcome. The matter of naming
candidates for a State ticket was de-
ferred and left for the primary cleo
ton in September to decide.
With the selection of a campaign
committee, consisting of two members
from each congressional district, and
the choosing of William D. Conner of
Marshfield as State chairman, the con-
vention adjourned sine die. Mr. Con-
nor's election was unanimous. He held
the same Office six years ago when La
Toilette was Governor.

ARBITRATION BOARD DECISION
Wage Is Boosted for 1000 Men on
Fifty-one Railroads.

TWenty-seven thousand employees on
fifty-one railroads operating west,
northwest and southwest of Chicago
will receive a wage increase aggregat-
ing 100000 a year as a result of
decision given by the arbitration board
chosen some time ago to pass upon the
demand of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen for an
increase in pay.
The award of the arbitrators means
an increase in wages all along the line
ranging between 10 and Il per cent.
The arguments of representatives of
the railroad employees that the increas-
ed cost of living at the present time
fully warranted a boost in pay were
sustained by the arbitration board,
which held that an increase of Is cents
a day is due the railroad employees
who are paid on the basis of their
daily toll and that a similar increase
should be paid to the men whose re-
enumeration is figured on the hundred
mile schedule"
1t was the conclusion of the arbitra-
tors that this advance should be given
solely because the cost of living has
advanced at a very substantial rate
