nt reel.
"This IH not yet KO generally true
In other HcetloiiH of tlie country , " lie
wild. "Own the imlnk'd cheek wan
rare and did not mark respectability.
That IH no longer true. It In right to
want to 1)0 bountiful. Only thu lu/.y
Hluggard IH HiitlHflcd to bo ugly. The
Hlovenly wife often loses the love of
her husband and she deserves to suf-
fer.
"Heeent tight skirts , big hatH and
painted faces do not add to thu
beauty of women. A got-rlch-qulek
leech iccunlly Bald that a woman
ought to bo idiyHlcally beautiful and
have no thoughts of her own. That
IH a beast's definition.
"Hut beauty oiiKlit to be more than
nkln deep. It will noon rub off If It
IH not. The Chinese beat the. wom
en's feet Into Hhapu to fit BtyllHh
HboeH. AmerleaiiH Induce heart dis
eases by ci nulling the body and ac
tually shorten life by using poisons
to Improve the looks of the face. In
this we are more reprehensible. Girls
net so enamored of pretty adornments
that moralH lose value and they trade
off virtue for fine hats. "

In compliance with a request from
the Norfolk Ad club General Manager
Frank Walters of the Northwestern
railroad has written a letter from
Omaha to C. J. Mullock , announcing
that the change in the name will be
made.
The now $05,000 station being built
by the Northwestern on South Third
street will hear the name "South Nor
folk" and this will bo the name ap
pearlng on railroad maps In the fu
ture.
"South Norfolk" was granted by Mr ,
Walter as a compromise. The orlgi
nal request was that the new station
be called the "Third street depot , Nor
folk" but Mr. Walters , while anxiotif
to grant any reasonable request thai
might be made , said this title would
be entirely too long for practical pur
poses and agreed to change the name
to "youth Norfolk. "
Walters Very Obliging.
"Mr. Walters has been eminently
fair anil obliging in every way in re
gard to the Ad club's request , " Mr
Bullock said. "He has been anxioui
to do whatever the citizens of Norfoll
desired. "
Several months ago when the A <
club's lequest was originally present
r-d the railroad company replied tlia
It would be Impossible to change tin
name as the original townsito ha <
b'-en laid out as "Norfolk Junction. '
The Ad elub's request was prosentei
a second time and Mr. Walters ha
ordered the old name wiped off tin
map and the new one substituted.

the fires of the entlio year. The fire
men giue the council the names of
the companies who were winners In
the contest and now the council In
forms them that they have had no
