The Stooping Habit.


The STOPPING habit acquired In
early life by 80 many women, says
Mrs. Jonness.Miller, Is largely re-
sponsible for the ills which they
undergo in later years. No intelli-
gent person needs to be taught that
II, for instance, tn, chest is de-
pressed, all the organs below are
correspondlngly affected, and If
lung troubles do not follow this
pernicious habit other difficulties
equally serious will. 1t Is because,
moreover, of this habit that the
forms of so many women become.
even in early womanhood, ill-shaped
and gross, with protruding abdo-
mems and ungraceful outlines. If
by carelessness in the position of the
body the muscles are allowed to
become lax, there Is II gradual set.
Ting down of the entire figure.
which Is as ruinous to grace as Ii is
detrimental to health.
If women would acquire in early
years the habit of walking, standing
and breathing correctly there would
be little need to resort to art for the
secrets of artificial comeliness.
To stand 80 that the organs of the
body shall he held In proper position
is the surest way to keep the form
free and redundant In grace and
motion. To breathe correctly Is to
Keep the blood free from impurities
and to have the complexion pure
and beautiful; 1t Is not possl BILE,
however, to breathe correctly unless
the dress is so arranged as to allow
perfect freedom to all the organs,
hence study of hyglenic dress
must not be neglected In connection
with all these other things.

now ro CONDUCT A NEWSPAPER.

Every body knows how to manage a
country newspaper. In view Of this
fact, we desire to know just what kind
of reading matter our readers want to
have appear in the JOURNAL. We
want to make the paper just what the
readers want it to be, and the best way
10 ascertain just what is wanted is for
the readers to write us a short letter
containing not to exceed one hundred
words, telling what kind of matter,
in their opinion, is best suited
to the reading public. If there is
any special subject you wish to have
treated in our columns let us know
and we will regard it as a special favor
and when we have heard from enough
to give us an idea of what is most
desired we shall endeavor to crafty
the wishes of the majority. You now
have an opportunity to have just such
matter inserted in the paper as you
wish. Please let us hear from all.
Many of these letters will be published,
but in all cases the real name of the
writer will not be made known. No
attention will be given a letter not
bearing the name of the writer. We
want to hear from every reader of the
JOURNAL, old and young
These letters will be submitted to a
committee, who will not be informed
as to the name of the authors, and to
the writer who, in the estimation of
the committee, has written the best
letter, the JOURNAL will be sent for
one year free of charge.

joint Cemetery Committee who found
it correct save the items amounting to
$75, as salaries paid the Clerk, Treas
urer and Superintendent, upon which
the committee could not agree. The
report was therefore rejected.
A motion that the clerk, treasurer
and superintendent of the cemetery
receive proper compensation was
promptly voted down.
Mr.. Chapman then offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
WHEREAS-The present board of
cemetery trustees have girdled Il
large number of the most beautiful
forest trees in our cemetery
AND, WHEREAS-We regard the dis
truction of said trees as an irreparible
damage to our cemetery and in the dis
truction of said trees they have demon
strated their want of judgment and
taste for the due discharge of their
duties,
AND WHEREAS-Sec. 1920 Rev.
Statutes empowers the council by Il
concurrent vote of two-thirds of the
members elected to remove any trustee
for want of skill, judgment or taste for
the due discharge of the duties
required of him or for other good
causes.
Therefore be it
Resolued-by this joint board that for
above recited causes, John G.. Himmel-
man, Dunham Simmons and Chas.
Dauer be and are hereby removed from
the offices of cemetery trustees which
they now hold.
The cemetery trustees were each
called on to explain his action in the
case, and after some debate the resolu-
tion was passed, Trustee Leydorf alone

managed could be made self-supporting,
but for number of years the Cemetery
Trustees have been allowed to do the
work instead of employing a sexton as
should have been done. No complaint
has been made against this system,
however, until within the past week,
when 1t was discovered that the Gene

OF the forest trees in the cemetery and
girdled large number of others pre-
paratory to reducing them to stove

became known to the citizens, the town
became 80 hot that lard and butter
were sold by the quart, and the citizens
demanded the removal of the officers.
A joint meeting of the Council and
Township Trustees was held on Tues
day night, and resolution introduced
for the removal of the offending
officers, was passed with only
one dissenting voice. The Council
then appointed Messrs. A. Roach, A..

TregO County Alliance Rally.

According to announcement the
Alliance of Trego county net IN
mass meeting last Saturday, Sep
tember Ii, at Wa-Keeney, 80 hear
speeches from Hon. VIM. Baker,
candidate for congress from this dis
trict, Hon. Ben. C. Rich and others.
The day was quite disagreeable
and as consequence the crowd was
not so large as was expected. Ow-
ing to difference in time, or mis-
understanding as to the time of
speaking. we did not arrive at the
court house until after Mr.. Baker
had commenced his speech and
therefore we are hardly justified in
making any criticisms. Our i'm
preston can be summed up in very
few words: We believe Mr.. Baker is
an honest man, but at the same
time he is not much of an orator.
In Justice to him We ought to add
that we did not hear him in the
evening and that he was complain
ing of i'll health during the day.
Mrs. Diggs, associate editor of the
Topeka AdUOcate, followed Mr..
Baker and spoke for about an hour.
She was quite entertaining and hea
audience was delighted. This lady
has not many equals among her sex
in Kansas as public speaker.
In the evening Mr.. Baker spoke
again and Mr.. Rich made the speech
of the occasion. We hear Mr..
Rich's speech favorably commented
upon even by those who do not be-
lieve in a portion of the political
doctrines which he promulgated
A special reporter for the WORLD
was present and when we have space
we will publish Mr.. Bakers speech
entire, and perhaps some of the
others.
We should not forget to mention

livened the occasion with several

THERE is an independent third
party in the Kansas City, Mo-, con-
gressional district. September 18th
they held a convention at Kansas
City and placed in nomination full
ticket. We quote the following
from the Erening Ne,os:
The 18th of September has come and
gone and the peoples independent con-
yention has been held. 1t was owing to
the manly attitude and magnanimous for
bearance OF George G. Ward that the con-
vention was harmonious and peaceable
and that for the time the demands OF
justice were set aside in the interest of
the success Of the party of principles.
"In the preliminary stages of the con-
vention 7. W. Gilruth and his two or
three co-conspirators added insult to in
jury and by virtue OF their self-delegated
authority, locked the door against Mr..
Ward. Great, however, was the surprise
and CONSERVATION Of the petty political
tricksters to find that with the exception
Of their own precious qusrtette, or posi-
bly, quintette. the solid delegation from
Kansas City was for Ward and Justice.
After days of labor spent in organizing
clubs and electing delegates to "down
Ward" these self-same delegates were
found to be all Ward men in the face of
the fact that Ward had not made single
effort to bring about such result. The
alternative presented to the convention
was the admission of Ward or the with
drawal Of the Kansas City delegation.
Ward was admitted, and having given a
pledge to his friends that he would not
seek vindication at the hands of the
convention, the proceedings were harmo-
uious and enthusiastic"
