OF the multitude Of abdominal
Belts hitherto devised none have
wholly succeeded in satisfying the
requirements of medical men or
their patients. All have some
features of merit, and many Of
them have been adopted as the
best supporter proeuIable, but
up to tile present time not one has
embodied all the virtues whi;h
should be found in perfect alb

defective shapes and other faults
the ordinary belts fit badly, draw
together and work up, complete
Iy failing of their purpose and
doing more harm than good.
Our Corset department will UNI
dertake the introduction Of an en-
tirely new device in this line, the
invention of Portland woman,
Endorsed by all the leading Port
land physicians and commended
by everybody who has seen it.
1t embraces all the excellencies
and virtues of other belts and
avoids their faults and defects.
The peculiar advantages Of its
construction are that it lifts and

There IL Money In Feeding Pigs Tor Lean
Meats
1t is cheaper to produce meat that
contains a large proportion OF lean with
the fat than to fatten hog TO such
condition as to fit il only for the pro-
duction Of lard, and il Is fact that
feeding for lean meat greater weight
Of carcass Is secured and at no more
expense than in producing an excess OF
fat. This is explained by reason Of the
fact that when an animal is given food
containing the elements Of growth OF
bone and muscle as well as Of fat the
condition Of the animal is sustained in
manner to permit more perfect diges-
ton and assimilation and a greater pro
portion for the support Of the system
Of the nutritious elements that are re-
quired. and which are more evenly dis
tributed through the body. instead Of
the semi-diseased condition produced
when corn Is given as an exclusive diet
Hence the farmer who diminishes the
ration Of maize. allowing but portion
only, substituting therefor bran, mid
dlinRs. milk and clovor-cut fine and

the advantages Of systematic metho(
Of feeding for the best results in pro
ducing the heaviest pork, the fact that
prime lard brings price that makes 4
desirable on the part Of the farmer e

that IL is serious obstacle in the way
when lean meat is advocated, but tho
lean meat is simply interspersed will

the variety Of food does not diminish

PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.

The parochial school question is press
ing one in Massachusetts. In the public
schools of the State there were 81 ,492
pupils in the past year, which is gain of
1896 over the year before. But there are
511 private schools and academies, against
485 the year before. In them are SO, 179
pupils, which is gain of 1916 over the
year before. Comparing the gain with
the total number it appears that the per-
centage of increase is much the greater
in the private schools. With less than
one-sixth the pupils, they have increased
over one-half in actual numbers. Now
these private schools are, in the main,
parochial schools, and in that fact lies the
significance of the figures. The state
board of education has been moved to
make some r&she1'' i,oi1aed remarks con-
cerning this matter. 1t says: This fact is
one for which the board feels called upon
again to express its disapproval. There
can be no question of the superiority of
tho education of the public schools over
that of private institutions in general.
They belong to the genius of our
civilization, and in them the chill
dren of the commonwealth may
receive the best possible preparation for
the duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship. The tendency to multi
ply schools for private instruction is to be
deplored. Such schools, for obvious rea-
sons, as rule cannot be the equals of
those that are maintained at the public ex-
pense. They are not amenable to public
supervision; many of them are not open
to public inspection, and hence cannot be
the subjects of public criticism. They are
also somewhat removed from the tivalries
and competitions by which institutions
and men alike reach the noblest and most
enduring results. OF course nothing can
be done in a formal way to arrest this
tendency. The right of the parent to edu-
cate his child in private school is unde-
niable. But it should be the aim of the
State to guard and strengthen the public
schools in every possible manner.
The same condition of affairs that exists
States It is evident that the Roman
Catholic authorities mean to have as many
of their own schools as they can. Per-
haps nothing can be done to prevent this,
but they need not be classed as public
schools
