What drags the Life out of
woman

Those heavy skirts, varying in
number from three to seven or more.
ali suspended by the waist and pull
ing down upon the hips, are enough
to drag the life out Of a Hercules. A
strong man could not endure for a
single day one-tenth Of the discom-
fort which a woman suffers every day
of her life, It is useless for wom-
an to think Of raising above her pres
ent level while she is chained down by
the burdens imposed by heavy trail
ing skirts,
The unnecessary and injurious
weight occasioned by surperfuous
length and number ofskirts is great
/ ly increased by the addition upon the
outer garment Of an indefinite num-
Der Of founces. folds, heavy over
skirts and various other useless ac-
cessories.
But the evils and inconveniances
above referred to are not the worst
which result from the wearing of so
great weight of clothing as is Gus
tomery among fashionable people
The most serious consequences are
those which are suffered by the deli
cate internal organs The heavy
skirts and undergarments that are
hung about the waist with no
support from aboye, drag down the
organs of the abdomen, and after a
time the tender ligaments which hold
them in place give way, and various
kinds of displacements and derange-
ments occur. The tightness with
which the garments are drawn at
the waist greatly increases the injury.
The custom of wearing the panta-
looms buttoned tightly at the top and
sustained by the hips caused so much
disease even among the hardy sol
diers ofsthe Russian army, that law
was enacted making the wearing of
suspenders compulsory. IF strong
men suffer thus, how mnch greater
must be the injury to frail delicate
woman? The constant pressure and
, unnatural heat to which the lower
part of the back is subjected is one
of the chief causes of the frequency
of kidney Diseases among women
Here is found the source of 'weak
back" Iumbago, pain in the side and
several other Diseases of the trunl
Q which affect so many thousands Of
}. American women.-T. H. K, in Dress

Gard From PED.

Editor Herald. Last weeks Dis
patch copies a squib from the Logan
Republican to the effect that Ped is
allowing the Herald to use him as a
cats paw in the Judicial matter etc.
/ had thought that / would pay no
attention to it, as / can generally
find more worthy subjects on which
to write than the editors of the two
sheets who try by the aforesaid local
to convey the idea to their readers
that 1 have no independence, but act
and write as others dictate. / would
further say that as Z do not take
either the Dispatch or Republican
had it not been for friends in my own
neighbOrhOOd who do not propose to
see me impaled on the point Of a soft
lead" and held up to the gaze Of an
| admiring public, l wouldn't known
about it. Surely those brave editors
were not afraid to send me the copy
in which they assailed my manhood.
I have found that the Herald IS
able to stand upon its own foundation,
and have never in the (almOst) six
years that L have contributed to its
columns, had ever a suggestion from
any one connected with it as to any
articles.
TheHeraId supports whom it pleaes-
es so does the Dispatch and so does the
Republican, q SUPPOSE and I know
that I support whom 1 please, and
expect to as long I have the right of
an independent American citizen.
Are the Dispatch and Republican
willing to cOncede me this right? II
not I shall be obliged to do as I please
in the matter just the same, and am
not answerabIe to either of them. In
thesmeantime, I would say to those
editors, go ahead and support who
you think is entitled to receive your
support, but don't say to me to dc
otherwise.
I am willing to leave the question
Of my integrity to those who know
me best, and shall do what I can t.
tell the truth about the Atwood Con
ventiOn as occasion requires, and LEI

The farmers have found a new
wrinkle in corn cribs. They buy the
lath .and-wire fence four feet high and
bring it into the form of a good sized
circle. Then they will put 10 a floor
of some kind and pile in the corn.
When the first tier IS full they will
set four high posts without the circle,
run wires across, put on another tier
of fence and proceed as before. This
is what the farmers call stacking
their corn, as it has the appearance
Of a stack when they are through

Two weeks ago we made some good
natured comment on a communica-

the writer made use of the express
sion: 1--WE are for Pratt to the mans"
and then went on to exhort McNay to
"remain true to the party for If you

it will be fatal" We smiled a broad
smile and INDUCED in little levity
