Subsidy, or no subsidy" The re-

Cleveland people were subsidists as to
money which is the parent of all sub
sideis. Besides, Cleveland, tho stub
born man, could not buck against the
Lord, and Mckinley being a good man
can hardly claim credit for what provi-
dence does. The Cleveland admins
tration proves that if you subsidiae
money you must subsidIze manufactur-
ing and transportation and that if you
begin subsidizing thing you must
keep it up. 1t also proves that in sub

But under republican subsidizing

world" If that is one evidence of pros
perity we we're prosperous under Cleve-
land, for he could have sold billion
dollars of bonds. 1t merely proves
that the money of the country is con-
gested at certain certain centers in
large loanable quantities and that the
per capita circulation is mostly bosh.
And again our infant industries have
so far out grown themselves that they
are bulging on the foreign markets.
That certainly proves that they no
longer need subsidy and that it is a
waste of the peoples money to give it
to them. Pay stamp tax, every ce +

The Desirable Thing-a Graceful Carriage

The Desirable Thing a Graceful Carriage.
A woman may have face as perfect
in its classic outlines as that of a Greek
goddess, her figure may be we'll pro-
portioned, and yet she may appear un-
attractive because she does not carry
herself well. Beauty of feature and
form weighed in the balance against
grace and carriage is always found
wanting, writes Hester A. Basset in
the Woman's Home Companion. My
lady's gowns may be modelled after the
most elegant Worth creations, her
chapeauX may come from the shop of q
Partisan milliner, and yet it may be a
source of annoyance to her that she
does not make as smart an appearance
as the governess of her children.
Why? Simply because she does not
stand properly. The minute she stands
lightly poised on her feet, with knees
straight, chest well out, stomach fiat,
shoulders back and the body from the
waist fitting ever so slightly forward,
she has acquired a certain smartness
of effect that no amount Of beauty and
fine clothes could give. A woman can.
not stand correctly and look slovenly.
And yet how few women do stand prop,
erly? An awkward posure is the chief
fault in the beauty of American women
who have past 30. One must note with
regret the settled figures and the pro
truding abdomens, for it is the tenden
cy of the body to fall back heavily tC
the heels unless there is some exercise
to offset the action. The springy steI
soon becomes a thing of the past, anC
walking, instead of being Rhythmic
falling forward, becomes a jerky up
and-down movement The abdomen
from that time begins to protrude un-
pleasantly and grace is lost.
