Tight Clothing.

A young lady few weeks ago ap-
piled to a physician for treatment
She suffered from continual headache,
and had done so for years, and she had
other troubles. The physician exam
ined her thoroughly, and satisfied her
self (the physician was womanl as to
the causes Of the patients maladies.
"I cannot treat you,n said the doc
tor, "unless you will follow my in
structions implicitly. But If you
promise to do so, I think your health
will improve immediately, and will
soon be entirely restored"
The patient promised entire compli-
ance with the instructions Of the ply
sician.
"The first thing for you to do is to
take off your corSets, or wear them SO
loosely that your vital organs will not
be at all compressed even when you
take full breath. Then suspend all
your clothing from your shoulders,
and have nothing hang from your
hips. Procure pair of low-heeled
shoes about two sizes larger than you
wear now. Give up drinking tea and
coffee, or take them very weak. AT
first YOU may miss the stimulus. but
only for few days. Eat nourishlng
food at regular intervals, and go to bed
early and get your sleep out. Walk to
and from your place of business SO as
to get all the exercise possible for you
in the open air."
A little medicine was given the pa
tient for some local trouble, but treat
ment was relied OH for the main diff
culties. She did exactly as her physl-
clan told her. In few days she was
free from headache, and in a few
weeks she was enjoying a degree OF
health up to that time entirely un-
known to her. The heart was able
without check from tight clothing to
do it's work ; her lungs had full play,
and could purify the blood without
hinderance from corset laces; the 40,
dominal organs, no longer crowded
down upon the delicate organs below
them, performed their functions With
out interfering with any other organs
of the body elasticity gradually came
back to the step of the young woman,
color came to her face, light to'her eye,
and the cheerfulness born of good
health to her heart. =,
The physician from whose mouth
this statement was received averred
that the good results this patient en-
ioyed were directly from the treat,
ment she received and gave herself,
and not from the medicine.

FOUND OUT.-Silence is not always
a proof of wisdom, though often 1t is a
sign of it. Here is story that gen.
tleman who had a son that was not
particularly bright, always admonlsh-
ed the young man to be silent, and so
conceal his folly.
One day the two were invited to a
large dinner, and, as seats were not
plenty, the father and son were sepa'
rated. During the meal, two gentle
men who sat opposite the young man
differed in opinion on a subject they
were discussing, and rather than have
a serious dispute, they agreed to leave
it to the gentleman opposite them 10
decide.
They stated their case to him, and
asked his opinion. The son was 81
lent. They waited little while, sup,
posing that he was meditating, and
again asked him to decide. =,
Still he kept silence. This leo the
gentlemen to look steadily at him,
when both exclaimed at once, "Why,
the fellow is fool"

Last week the Southwestern JleIh-

which we reproduce for our readers

their effort to get more religion into
the church, called the members togeth;,

JOHN BUNYAN.-Much discussion
has recently taken place, not only in
the religious press but in English liter
ary circles, as to whether John Bun
yam was Baptist. In NoHeS ana
Queries we have:
The entries in the parish register OF
Elstow asked for relating to Bunyan's
children are these:
"Mary, the daughter of John Bon
ion, was baptised the Goth day OF July,
1850.
"Elizabeth, the daughter Of John
Bonyon, was born 14th day of April,
1854" . :,
These were children by his first
wife. The baptism of one of his chill
dren by his second wife, Elizabeth
Bunyan, is recorded in the register OF
st. Cuthbert's, Bedford, under 1872:
Baptized Joseph Bunyan, ye son OF,
John Bunyan, Nov. 18TH" There is
no record known of either of Bunyan's
marriages.
That he did baptize his children and
that he was baptized by aftusion Is
evident. Bunyan's own baptism is
proved by the transcripts of the FL
stow registers, unearthed by Or.
Browns industry, to have taken place
Nov. 80, 1923, at Elstow Church..
Bunyan himself makes no mention OF
the second baptism, and it may be
safely asserted that Bunyan was not
what's commonly known as Baptist,
4. e., one who insists on the necessity
of adult baptism, and that by INNER
sion. He repudiated the title of Bap-
tist, regarding it, and all such distlnc-
tive nanes-"Indepcndent, Presby.,
terian, and the like''-as inventions OF
the Evil One, NATURALLY tending to
division" The only title he wished
to be known by, he says, is "a Chris
tian."
His church was called Congregation
alist. His immediate successors as
pastor were Pedo-Baptists.

Postmaster General Wanamaker ha!

Postmaster-G General Wanamaker has
determined to effect one greatly needed
reform. There is O provision IN the
United States Revised Statutes which
forbids that any postoffice should D De
established in any room in when IL
quer is sold, or in any room from
which there is an entrance into room
in which liquor is sold; but for some
time this very salutary regulation mas
been overlooked, and in a great many
country places postoffices have been
established in taverns, bar-rooms ana
groceries which really are groggerles.
When it is remembered that the aver.
ege country postoffice is a place OF
universal and necessary resort--1re-
quented by ladies and children and by
p1liable youths as we'll as by grown men
it is easy to see how disagreeable to
some and Injurious to others must be
the reception ami delivery OF letters
in a saloon atmosphere. If the en-
forcenent of Jaw terminating this
practice inthousands of rural hamlets
is a specimen of "Sunday-school poll.

and 1 will pray in that half or get
another room. But pray must and
will, whether you consent or refuse" !"
The other boy was instantly con-
quered. To this day he adnlires the
sturdy independence which claimed
as right what he had boorishly de-
MED as q privilege. A Christian
might as well ask leave to breathe as
to ask permission to pray. There is q
false sentiment connected with Chris
tian actions which interferes with their
free exercise. If there is anything to
be admired, it is the manliness that
knows the right and dares to do it
without asking any ones permission.

republicans were responsible for the
plot ct Coffeyville last fall. Some.

set of managers let the facts be known.
II they are guiltless let that be known.
-Sdlina Republican.
The Republican campaign managers
do exactly right to pay no attention to
this ridiculous charge. A man of
established character degrades him
self when he gives heed to a
charge of foul crime preferred
against him by any irresponsi-
BILE scribbler. Regarding this particu.
lar matter, we happen to know that c.
A. Henrie, the man whom the Union
Laborites designate as the agent Of the
Republican managers. was in Topeka
every hour of the week in which the
crime was committed. He could by no
possibility have been the man who
deposited the bomb in the Coffeyville
express office. And as for Capt. Booth
or Bion Hutchins being in any way,
or indirectly connected with
the crime, the charge is preposterous
and merits the silent contempt with
which these gentlemen treat it.
