THEFT MAY CONVICT
'FAG|N' SAY POLICE

With the report Of Mrs. A. Leach
man that her purse had been picked
Of 50 while she was in front of a
downtown theater Saturday after
noon, Chief of Detectives Sam Street
now believes he has sufficient evil
dence to convict the 30-year-old wo-
man Fagin who with a 14-year-old
girl student, was arrested Saturday
afternoon by Detective Alec Good
man.
Until this report none Of the sew
eral women whose purses had been
opened reported their losses to po-
lice.
The child's bungling on her first
attempt after being shown BY the
elder companion resulted in their dis
covery.
Detective Goodman's attention was
attracted by the cry of the victim,
and ne arrested the pair before they
could flee.

The two decisive pc
RODS in a woman's life lie
betwe e n girlhood and
womanhood, and between
middle age and old age,
the first being when the
functions of womanhood
begin, and the second
when they end. Of these
two periods, the first is
the most interesting and
important, because of the
wonderful promise of flu
ture usefulness and hap
piness it holds.
Few people outside the
medical profession realize
how easily the promises
of girlhood are changed
into threats by those de-
pressing conditions, COM
monty known as female
troubles" occurring when
the most important fe-
male organs are just COM
mencing to take up their
natural functions. It is
common for these effects
to be felt even so fal
along as the "Change Of
Life"
There has been a great
deal of argument among
authorities on whether ir-
regularity is the cause, or
the result, of the pain and
sickness which nearly al
ways accompanies it. This
useless argument, like the
failure of so many treat
ments for so-called female
troubles, is the result of
ignorance concerning the
real cause of most of
woman's suffering and
pain from the disorders
peculiar to her sex. 1t is
surprising but true, that
no one seemed to know,
or could find out what is
causing all the pain and
suffering among women
until the discoveries of
the phenomenal medicine,
known as st. Jogeph's G..

F. P. announced they had
found out and definitely
proved that, in nine out
of every ten cases, it is
Catarrh of the Female Or
gans, the dreaded malady
which attacks the delicate
mucous lining of woman's
most important organs,
and grows and spreads
until she gets it out of her
system.
Trying first one thing then
another, when they begin to
suffer from those distressing
symptoms of Catarrh, such
as headaches, backaches,
pains in the back and sides,
irregularity, nerv BUSINESS,
nausea, cramping, dizziness,
fainting spells and that aw-
full tired-out feeling of I'M
easiness and depression, so
common among them nova
days, is where most women
make their mistake.
That there is no longer
any reason for uncertainty
and doubt as to the effec-
tiveness Of st. Joseph's G..
F. P. in stamping out Ca
tarrh and restoring its VIC
tins to health and buoy
ancy, is proved by the hun
dreds of statements from
women right here in San
Antonio, who are so enthu-
siastic over their personal
experience in using this
medicine. Miss Ora Mae
Hart, who lives at 1410 La
mar, says: Il had to give
up my work because l had
such horrible pains in my
back, 1 couldn't stand up
long at a time. There were
pains in my right side and
limbs, too, that never let up,
and a lot of times, my head
ached until ! thought it
would burst. / was so nerv-
GUS ! couldn't keep from bit
ing my fingernails, and !
simply couldn't think what
was going to become of me.
"My sister-in-law persuad-
ed me TO try G. F. P, and
! haven't words to say how
it is helping me. | am only
on the fourth bottle now,
yet l am back at work, with
the pains all gone, and bet
ter health and spirits than
I've been in for a long time"

Federal appointed officer swear that

Union steam shovel and hoisting en-

it was indicated that there is consider
able determination among the employ
ing and contracting steam shovel and
hosting engineers not to meet this
demand. The scale now Is $40 day.

ing. at Fourteenth and F streets; the
Washington Building, at Fifteenth
and New York avenue, and a number
of other large projects.
The union carpenters also are ask
ing an increase Of so cents per day,
raising them from $3.50 to $40 per
day. The union millworkers have ask
ed for a 81 per day increase and the
union concrete rodmen are asking a
50 day increase.
These new demands are at present a
subject Of much discussion in build
ing circles, and outside Of an evident
decision on the part Of the master
steam shovel and hosting engineers
to resist an increase in wages there
seems to have been no definite decision
among the builders as to whether they
will or will not grant the increases de-
manded by the other trades.
