IF these compsrisons show anything
they prove that the small waist of the
American woman is q Geiormity There is
no physiological reason why she should have
smaller waist than her savag, sister. or
why Mrs. Langtry's waist measure should
be 26 instead Of 30.
"As the flatheaQed woman watches with
growing pride the progressive depressloDs
OF her Infants skull, as the Chinese woman
glories in the shriveled stump Of what was
once her child's foot, in like manner does
the civilized mother pride herself on the
smallness OF her daughters corset deform-
ed waist. Her effort to secure change in
the natural contour Of the human form
seem8 to me more of monstrous viola
ton Of the laws of beauty, more disastrous
to bodily health and yigor than any similar

savage tribe. How such q disfguremenl

ceased to grow under the influence of tight
bands, corset waists, or corsets. The fash
lonable dressmsker insists that the young
lady's figure must be formed, and so, as she
develops, she grows into mold like Gu

that we find the civilized woman with a
waist disproportionately small, as we find,

women, dwarfed and misshapen feet. The

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Jan. 81, 1892
Especial correspondence of THE HERALD
i called to-day on DR.. j. H. Kellogg, of
this city, who has recently come into prom
lnence by his statistical exposition of a
physical decadence in American women,
which he attributes to improper dressing.
The doctor is one Of the associate editors
OF the BdctertoloGjcdl Void and Modern
Medicine, and holds high position among
the physicians Of the country. A young
man, he bristles with enthusiasm when
discussing his recently gathered statistics
concerning the deadliness of the corset.
Il DO not know why it is So, he said,
''but it is a strange fact that the human
race seems to have penchant Tor modify
ing the natural shape into deformity-a
penchant, however, that takes a less dan
gerous direction among savages than civil
lized people.
THE Indian woman of ALASKA sticks q
pin through her upper lip. Other savage
women Insert fish bone in their under lip.
The civilized woman holds up hands in
horror at that, and proceeds TO pore holes
in the lobes of herears from which she may
hang her jeWelry. There are wany moth
ers that think they are fulfilling their ma
ternal duty when they compress their off
springs head into the shape of q cone or
squeeze it into fascinating flatness.
Other mothers, less barbarous, squeeze the
feet of their daughters into shapeless
masses of bones aud griste, in the firm be-
lief that nc young lady can make en- eligi-
bic bride if her foot exceeds in measure
the conventional three inches. Still other
mothers, more civilized and none the less
fCndly thoughtful CT their daughters in
erests, base their expectations Of a sue
cessful career for them az much upon the
meagre dimensions of their waists as upon
the loneliness Of their cOuntenanCeS Of the
brlliaucy of their accomplishments.
''Some years ago, while studying Chinese
women and the
WOMEN OF TIRE PRIMITIVE INDIAN TRIBES

nj the grammar Department. The
teacher who had been employed Cor
this department had at a late dav
notified the board here that he had
concluded to accept q position else
where and would therefore not be here
as previously agreed 1T was a great
disappointment, as the time was short
IN which to procure another teacher.
and in fact after considerable
correspondence with the normal school
at Speariish. aud other places. none
could be obtained. Therefore after
much persuasion Mr.. E. j. Moore. then
a member of the board, consented 10
take charge of that department. He
will also have supervision over the
other departments. The STAR believes
that no better selection could have
been made, and parents will generally
be pleased that one so efficient and
capable has been placed in charge.
With Miss kittie Counor, Miss Lam
pert, Miss W'ileelock, and Miss Green

ments. and under Mr.. Moore's
saperintendency we are assured Of

Til" Water Works

Since our last issue matters concern.
ing the granting of the water works
franchise have been in statu quo. so far
as amy disposition of the affair is con
cerned. 1t will hot be decided until
Monday night. Oct :'rd. In the mean
time there is much discussion upon the
topic. 1t is an important question.
People are deeply interested in it.
They want their interests guarded by
those who have been chosen to repre-
sent them.
There seems to be very strong
sentiment working up in favor of the
city putting in its own system of water
works, even though it ae not so en-
tenslve as might he desired at first.
1t is argued that the city might be
bonded for twenty-five or thirty thou.
sand dollars Cor this purpose, and that
this amount would furnish system
for the business streets of the city. and
then extended as rapidly as the means
of the city would permit. The STAR
has at all times been strongly in favor
of the city owning all! the franchises
that it can, and especially the water
franchise. There is every argument
in favor of it, and nothing against it.,
that we can see.
Ii it may be satisfactorily shown
that the city could bond for sufficient
amount to construct system Of water
works through the principal streets, we
believe that very large majority of
the people of the city would favor
such move. Let every one inter-
ested-and all who own property cer-
tainly are-look into the matter be-.
fore the council meets. and ascertain
all the information they can regarding
it. The STAR invites All expression
upon the subject through its columns.
We want water; we need water; we
must have water. We need q good
system; a reasonable system, and the
people have right to say who shall
have the franchise.
