The "change Of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws neal is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
p%redisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.

II is being insulated in some Of the

Senator Cullom for reelection because
Cullom has promised to again vote for

The report that such a trade has

Of recent events and is certainly char

MIR. TAFT'S NEW ASSOCIATE
JUSTICE.

Rejecting Judge Hook, President
Taft named Chancellor Mahlon Pitney
of New Jersey to succeed to the Har-
Ian vacancy, without taking anyone
into his confidence. The record Of
Pitney is in all respects that of a man
Of the temperament and the bias
which appeal to Taft.
In the case of Frank & Dugan VS..
Herold. 81 Atlantic Reporter, page 152,
Chancellor Pitney said:
What right have Frank & Dugan
to come here with this bill Of COM
plant seeking to protect these females
in the exercise of their undoubted
rights to walk the streets OF Patterson
unmolested? The answer to that ques-
tion is that they are the servants of
Frank & Dugan. do not use the
word servant in any mental sense.
Any person who works for another
! for salary is a servant in the eye
Of the law. Now. the relation of mas
ter and servant being shown to exist,
the law is quite clear that no person
has the right to entice away anothers
servant The right of the master to
have his servant continue in his EN-
ploy without molestation or enticement
/ by any third party is a property right
so recognized by the law"
In this same decision and also in a
later one reported in 79 Atlantic Re
| porter page 262, he held:
THAT to create the relation Of mas
ter and servant It is not necessary
that there should be a contract In
writing, or even verbal, between then
to work for any particular length o.
time; that the relation exists wher
one person is willing from day to day
to work for another, and that othel
person desires the labor and make.
his business arrangements according
ly."
These decisions affirm a property
right Of the master in the servant
They deny the right of workers OF
strike to appeal to workers not OF
strike to join in the strike.
They are so utterly foreign to tn,
spirit of American institutions and d.
violence so great to the spirit of in
dustriai democracy as to suggest PIT
ney's unfitness for membership in an.
court, much less the court of last re
sort.

Teddy's Talks Come High

The negotiations with Mr.. Roosevelt
were conducted privately by the po-
litical action committee Of the Union
League club. Members were not aware
of the money arrangement. Mr.. Roose-
welt was treated as the clubs guest.
John F. Holland, now chairman and
then a member of the political action
committee, admitted today that the
money had been paid.
Besides delivering the Union League
clubs address Mr.. Roosevelt address
ed the boy scouts at Hull house during
the afternoon and a banquet at night
for which no extra compensation was
required. In all he delivered three
speeches for the Union League club
during his days visit, and were the
rate of his compensation computed on
the basis so much per word, the club
may be considered to have got bar
gain. 1t was cheap In comparison with
the 81 word charge for the stories of
Colonel Roosevelt's adventures in
Africa.

Indications are that Missouri will
adopt as its state anthem the song of
the people Of the ozarlzs country. It
Is the "dawg song" and they have
sung, ohanted, crooned, hummed,
whistled and played it, as long as any

like this:
Every time I come to town,
The boys keep kickin' my dawg
aroun';
Makes no diffrunce II he is a houn'
They gotta stop kickin' my dawg
aroun'.
Missouri had a competition for q
state song and someone who disclaim
ed authorship of it submitted the song
of the "houn'" pup. The plain folks
of the state liked 1t but the high
brows" thought 1t unrehective of the
level Of Missouri dignity and fntelli
gence and no award of the prize money
ever has been made in consequence
It's a good enough song and good
enough democracy. The consumer
has been bringing his purse to the
market place for a good many year,
and the trusts have been kickin' 4

dore Roosevelt, who made the Wash
ington's birthday address at the Audi
forum a year ago, had charged the
club $500 for his services.
This information was a surprise to
most of the club members. 1t had been
supposed that Mr.. Roosevelt, who was
frequently the recipient of the clubs
hospitality during his public life, had
paid the visit of a year ago to return
a courtesy. To many members the
information that the speech was deliv.

ward much larger, for instance, than
Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. La Toilette usually
get for their addresses, was something
of shock. II was not generally known
that Mr.. Roosevelt made speeches foI

ANNETTE.
To start married life with load
of debt is very undesirable: in fact,
it is one Of the surest methods of be-
ing thoroughly unhappy at a time
when all should be bright. Make up
your minds to fix your wedding day
two years ahead. During that time
save every dollar you can, and have a
little friendly contest between you as
to who will save the most. Then,
when perhaps you are able to pay half
the amount required to furnish your
home, you can get credit for the other
half with a clear conscience. Start
saving now. 1t is habit and requires
much self-denial at the beginning.
Afterwards it grows easy. Don't try
to fly high at first. Love and an easy
mind, with mutual confidence, are
jewels Of great price in the early years
of married life.
