There are two reasons for this change. Ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate tho shock to the system through tho change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often corao with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain Is robbing tho cheek of its freshness and tho form of Its fairness.

STANDARD OIL CO. A New Bit or Spanish War History Bjr WILLIAM K. CIKTi.H. Tow will remember perhap (hat Great Britain Is responsible for our retention of the Philippine Islsnd. Had It not been for a message Queen Victoria sent to President McKT,ily on Sunday afternoon Oermany would have been bearing that "white man's burden" Instend of the United 8tntes, and It I entirely probable that Great Britain, whose subjects have more than $200,000,000 Invested here, will sooner or later send President Roose- relt a similar message about Cuba. Lord Pauncefote made two visits' to the White Houbo during the Mc Klnley administration to deliver per sonal messages from Queen Victoria. The first was on the afternoon of the Sunday following McKlnley's procla mation calling upon Spain to get out of Cuba. When that good and wise woman read his proclamation, she cabled Lord Pauncefote to tell the President that the British Govern ment would sustain him In every ef fort he made to carry out the policy foreshadowed by his announcement. No message was ever moro welcome, because, Just at that time, there were grave doubts whether France, Aus tria and Germany would permit us to interfere In Spanish colonial nffairs. With Great Britain behind us, we knew that there would be no inter ference, and when the people of Spain heard that news they stoned tho British legation in Madrid. And the Spaniards declare to this day that they would have whipped tho United States If England had not Interfered to protect us. After the war closed the German Government entered into negotiations with Spain for the purchase of all her possessions In the Pacific. The price was fixed at $23,000,000. and the contract wns practically closed when the facts became known to the Brit ish Government. Queen Victoria sent a second message to President McKInley, and, by a singular coin cidence, It also came on a Sunday. Lord Pauncefote went to tho White House on Sunday afternoon to de liver it. This time he said that he was In structed by her sovereign majesty to advise the President that tho British Government would sincerely deplore any disposition of the Philippine ar chipelago that removed It from tho Jurisdiction of the United States. He told the President about the ne gotiations between Span and Ger many, and explained the reasons why Great Britain and other European powers could not permit the Kaiser to obtain such a solid foothold in the Pacific. Mr. McKinley immediately cabled the facts and appropriate instruc tions to the American peace com missioners at Paris, and that is tho reason the United States paid $20, 000,000 for an archipelago in the Pacific that It did not want, and can not, get rid of. That "white man's burden" was placed on our shoulders by Great Britain. Germany purchased the Caroline Islands and the other remaining Spanish possessions in the Pacific for $3,000,000.

A Western publisher, who is espe cially well-informed In regard t the paper manufacturing Industry, re cently made the following statement: "The past month has been marked by ono of tho sharpest advances in the paper market that has been known in recent years, and the article la very firm at the advance, wuirli 3 about twenty-five per cent, on print grades. It Is claimed the advance Is due to heavy demand r.nd higher price of pulp, and that it is also warranted by increased expanse in the Diilbj, owing to shorter running time and advanced cost of nearly everything entering into iho manufacture. The claim of heavy demand for paper Beems to be borne out by the facts, since some mills are actually declin ing orders on the ground that orders have been entered ahead which will take all they can make for several months. Pulp has taken a big rise, and paper manufacturers who do not have their own pulp mills are at times pfetty anxious about their pulp supply, even at the prevailing rates, which ure about double whatKhey were only a little while ago. Book papers, too, are much higher, and, taking it all in all, the paper trade is very firm, and tending strongly to ward still further, advance."

To George Washington must be given the credit of causing the first I steps to be taken toward tho founding i of a national military academy. In , 1794, while serving his Becond term ' as President, Washington succeeded in having Cougress create the grade of cadet in the army. West Point was chosen as the best army post at which cadets could be trained. Tor the reason that it was then the most im portant station of tho artillerists and engineer. The cadets of those days did not pass entrance examinations, and the standard of proficiency In studies did lot amount to the tenth part of what Is etacted nowaday.

With a broom she tapped on the win dow of 27, next door, where dwell Dr. .Inckes nnd his son Joseph. Then 9he peeked from behind a curtain and whispered "Burglars!" Dr. Jackes and JoBoph understood.

Half a dozen persons telephoned to police hendquarters nnd 15 po licemen were noon running on the double quick. The entire block wns surrounded. Ono of the guardlnns of the peace tripped over a prostrate form on the floor of the vestibule and he dragged It out on the stoop. "Are you dead?" asked a police man. The victim opened his eyes, smil ed Berenely and replied: "Hie not yet dead broke; gi' ug a drink, sho shorry for hie yer hlc trouble hie." "It ain't a burglar." said a white clad figure in an upper window, "It's only a souse." And the windows all along the line went down with a bants. Pawns Boarder Shoe.

Before Mr. Tucker, himself only 23 years old, had. a chance to blusblngly deny the statement, the young woman calmly remarked: "I'm also married to Dr. Ward, Frank Denison and five others."
