American Girls Waists.

DIR. J. g. Kellogg, of Battle Creek,
Mich, spoke at the Washington
High School to the girls of the school
during his visit recently.
He opened his remarks by snnounc-
ing that he was going to say some
very unpleasant things about young
ladies. Notwithstanding their good
looking faces, he said, most of them
are crippled and deformed.
The Doctor has devoted fifteen
years to the study Of the human fig
ure. He has made measurements of
the Mexicans, the Italian, German
and French peasants, and compared
the size of their waist with those OF
American girls, and has come to the
conclusion that the average Ameri-
can woman Is deformed that her
waist is too small for her body. He
he'd compared the waist measure
ment with the height, and,
as result OF 1900 measure
ments, found that the actual waist
measurement is only 80 per cent of
the height. The average waist of the
American woman is "a inches. The
waist of the Venus de Milo Is AZ per
cent of the height. With such a waist
as that woman could draw a good
big breath.
The waist of q woman, he said,
ought to be larger than q mans be.
cause her liver is larger. He said a
smaller heart, but larger liver, but
not pleasing the young ladies by this
remark, he added: Only in quantity;
in quality it Is otherwise.
The Doctor said that these organs
which should be above the waist line
are so pressed down by tig bt clothing
as to make women deformed.
He called particular attention to
the fact that although a woman
doubled In weight, the measurement
OF her waist didn't increase at all.
While in Washington the last few
days DIR. Kellogg has measured the
waists of twelve little girls in pri-
vate school and found the smallest
waist was % inches. The average
was "a inches; one was % l-2 inches
and one 20 70, and those waists, he
said, will become smaller as the girls
grow older.
These restrictions of the waist
cause many other deformities, such
as hollow chests, dropping and round
shoulders.
Dr. Kellogg did not see any reason
why women shouldn't be as strong as
meu. The Doctor spoke of the swiss
woman who carry heavy burdens on
their shoulders up and down hills,
and said that thew are among the
healthiest women in the world.
He showed by diagrams that the
same evils occasioned in women by
tight clothes were to be found in men
who wore belts.

A BABY WHO SMOKES.
The Father Who Taught Him to DO So
VIII BE Prosecuted.

Chicago. Ill, Special.
The Illinois Humane Society has
decided to prosecute the parents of
2year-old Leonard Turner, the to-
bacco-smoking baby. The child's Csc
was brought to public notice a day or
two ago Ever since the baby was two
months old his father, who is said to be
dissipated character, has been teaching
him 10 smoke. The child has now become
so accustomed to the weed that he cries for
his pipe and tobacco.
The mother has had to work to support
the family, and of late has been leaving
the little boy at a nursery. The matron of
the nursery refused to allow the use of
tobacco, and reported the case. The HUI
name Society took the matter up yester-
day. The child was found TO be in very
feeble condition, already suffering from
acute nicotine poisoning, and having what
is known 70 physicians as the tobacco
heart" His skin, ewes, and brain are also
affected. He displays little intelligence.
and bcightens up only when his pipe is
placed before his eyes.
Acting on the report Of the physicians.
the Humane Society has sworn out war
SAINTS for the arrest OF the parents. The
penalty for such an otlense is not less than
SO nor more than $500 fine, or one year in
the penltentiary, or both. Doctors ex-
press doubts as to whether the child can be
brought back TO healthy condition.

TROUBLES OF SAMOA.
The Country Is in a State of
Unrest.
OBJECTION TO SALARY LIST.
Confidence of People in the Chief Jus
tice-Don't Like Use of Inferior
German Coin.
OBJECTION TO SALARY LIS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6-The Associated
Press correspondence from Samoa, per
steamer Mariposa, says that the country
is in state of great unrest. Mataafa is
still at Malic with 300 or 400 men and has
sent out messenger again to raise
a party in his behalf. He has
been told that the United States
would not send any more ships to Samoa,
and when the Iroquois arrived was per-
suaded that she came in his interest. 1t
is generally understood that the govern
ment is only waiting the arrival of Eng
lish warships to make Joint demonstra-
ton and to punish the natives who refuse
to obey Malietoa. Unless some action is
taken without delay there probably will be
trouble.
A great cause of complaint among the
natives is the way the salary list is Climb
ing up. Two Swedish men came out
with the chief justice to act as
clerk of the court and marshal
As it turned out that there was nothing in
these positions, two more places were
created for them, chief of police and
secretary to the chief justice. The people,
however, have confidence in the chief
Justices impartiaIity. The only objection
is, he is very slow. Much dissatisfaction
has been caused by the acts of President
Baron Won Pilsack. He is a German
and does his best for the Germans.
The currency question is burning issue
of the country. A German firm has i'm
ported a number of silver marks
from Germany, and wished to pass
them at gold value in payment Of
taxes. These coins are old marks
of Wurtenburg and other small principal
tiles. The residents object to them as
they cannot pass except at a discount in
America or the colonies. The president,
however, insists that they be received.
The king and government decided
they would not take them, but the presi-
dent again ordered them to do so or Ger
many would be angry. They again re-
fused, but Pilsack srll declines to accept
their decision and the question is still IN
settled
