Find Fault with the Bill of Fare and Re-
fuse to Work.
Anamosa Ia, June 26.-Four hundred
and fifty prisoners in the state prison at
this place struck Friday. The prisoners
have been acting strangely for some
time past and declare they struck be-
cause the rations furnished by the state
were insufficient in quantity and inferior
in quality. The strike originated early
Friday at the quarries and later ex-
tended to the prison.
The men became enraged and much
trouble was only averted by the GOODNESS
of the several guards. The officials
finally complied with the mems request
and work was resumed. Saturday morn
ing. however, the usual bill of fare was
served without the promised change.
This enraged the men, and they again
refused to go to work. All work was

AS the result of scheme inaugural
ed by Prof. ID. Shafe, of Cedar Rapids,
the great army of tramps and hoboes
who each year infest the cities and
towns in this section of Iowa has
greatly diminished. BY special ar
rangements made at each place with
either woman's club or Ladies' Aid
society, large wood pile is provided
and placed in charge of some respon-
sible wood or coal dealer. AS the
tramp makes his visit from house to
house and begs ''hand-out" he is
politely informed by the lady at the
kitchen door that if he will go to the
aforesaid coal or wood dealer he may
earn enough money to procure a first
rate meal by saving one-eighth of a
cord of wood. The fGhd for the pur-
chase of the wood is replenished by
the sale of the sawed wood, which al
ways commands ready sale. By this
system the tramps are very fast be-
coming disguised with this manner of
having to work for something to eat
and are giving every town with a
wood pile wide berth. Nearly everv
town or city of any Importance IN
north and central Iowa now have the
scheme in good working order and
tramps are seldom seen.

Is a Small Waist Beautiful ?

Is a Small Waist Beautiful ?
This
Is the
shape OF
a woman's waist
on which a corset tight
is laced. The ribs, deformed
by being squeezed. press
on the lungs till they're
diseased. The heart
Is jammed and
cannot pump;
the liver
is a
tor
pid lump;
the stomach,
crushed, cannot
digest, and in mess
are all compressed. There
fore this silly woman grows to
be a fearful mass of woes,
but thinks she has lovely
shape, though hideous
as crippled ape.
This is
woman's
natural waist,
which corset tight
has not disgraced. Inside
IL is q mine of health. Outside,
of charms IL has a wealth.
1t Is a thing of beauty
true, and a sweet joy
for ever new. 1t
needs no artful
padding vile,
or hustle big to
give 1t "style."
It's strong and solid,
plump and sound. and
hard to get ones arm
around. Alas If women
only knew the mischief that
tight corsets do, they'd let
Dame Nature have her
ease. and never try her
waist to squeeze.
