Points Cut On.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Sept. a..-Pas-
senger and freight service between
Kansas City and the ports on the Gulf
of Mexico where yellow fever has ap-
peared is in badly crippled condi-
tion. Freight for these points are re-
ceived by the railroads subject to indie
finite delay and it is impossible for
travellers TO buy tickets in Kansas City
to-day to New Orleans. Mobile and
many cities in Louisiana. Mississippi
and Texas. If cold weather does not
check the spread of the dreaded disease
within few days through freight
and passenger service between Kansas
City and the Gulf OF Mexico will be
completely cut off.
What is true of the situation in Kan
sas City applies to St, Louis. Chicago

COMFORT IN CORSETS.
Hints Which the Average Woman
WILL Find Cxcful and Timely.

Unless q figure IS largely out OF pro-
portion there is no real necessity in this
day of having corsets made to order.
But it is quite necessary that corset
should be lit TO the figure as carefully
as . glove or Il boot is fitted. One make
OF corset may fit you perfectly in the
bust, but the waist may be too short
or TOO long, or the hips too snug or
loose. Fitting is done at all first-elass
houses free of charge. and it is time
well spent in having your corset prop
eriy fitted
Few women, having secured the right
kind OF corset. know how to lace it.
There should be two laeiugstrings--
six being better than any other-one
reaching from the top TO the waist
line. aud one from the wais:-line to the
bottom edge of the corset, The cor
set can then be laced comfortably AT
the waist as closely or as tightly as one
wishes without compressing the bust
and forcing the flesh at the back over
the top of the corset. Then, too, the
corset can be adjusted about the hips
and over the abdomen without discom-
fort and ungain3y lines, as is the case
when only one lacing is used.
\ woman who dresses great deal,
and always up TO the occasion. really
needs variety Of eorsets. A decoliete
gown calls for Il low-cpt corset that
conforms to the shape of the bodice,
while a tailor-made costume requires a
corset high above the bust and long on
the abdomen. The negligee robe de
chambre has a corset that is merely
Z bust support. The bicycle corset is
usually n ventilated affair made quite
short from the waist down, and has
fewer bones than any other. The cor
set for the empire gown is little more
than 4 belt. showing little or TO bust
| curve. And 50 it goes. making the
if properly fitted,
The tendency among women to take
up physical culture and athletics has
not driven out corsets, but has done
much toward improving them. Modern
times have seen the anatomy of the hu
man figure so carefully studied that
the corset has become an element of
comfort, and some physicians say of
good health.
To be laced, in the general accept
ance Of the term, is now considered the
height of vulgarity. 1t is quite natur-
| al the waist should be smaller than the
| bust or hips, but it need not be fairly
| strangled into an hour-glass shape.
What is wanted in a corset is plenty of
room at the bust and on tho hips, with
no pressure On the ribs to interfere
with breathing. Few of us are con-
structed on the lines of the ideal figure.
SO that much of the beauty of our form
depends upon n good-iitting corset

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.
III Yon Are Dead Broke Own Up Like
Little MINI.

Dead broke is not an accurate term.
1t is relative. A millionaire considers
himself dead broke when he finds that
he has only Il V in his pocket. Men OF
less means think they are dead broke
when they can find but quarter or
half in their pockets. But with the
mass of people who haven't very much.
even when at their best, dead broke
means that condition in which n man
finds himself without a nickel in his
pockets. Pennies don't cut any ice
Even three of four of them won't pay
car fare, and when n man hasn't car
fare the walk to Cumminsville at mid
night seems long--awfu,ly long.
