SKIP ROPE FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE.
A New Remedy for the Ills That Annoy
."-.. Women,

Indianapolis News: Times have
changed, and even the skipping rope
has undergone progress. The rope has
been promoted, until now 1t is brought
out at all seasons of h year and used
by old n young alike. It's mission
now is the restoration of the skin, the
making of a pair of dimples, the
Strengthening of the heart and the re-
newal of youthful charm.
From this list it will be seer that
the skipping rope Is relied upon as a
modern miracle worker. AND the wom-
an who tries it will agree. that it is such
to the last inch.
To manipulate the skipping rope
the kind which is fitted with handles.
Thus one can have a support for the
fingers to keep the rope from cutting
the hand. Then, too, h handles en-
able one to shorten the rope and to
make highest skips at will.
The second requisite is that the air
in which the skipping is performed
shall be fresh.
This gymnasiums low are luxurious
ly fitted out. But, If bereft Of luxury,
they are at least well aired. In one
GUS where there is a room called by
courtesy the gymnasium, the sole APP

a wand and a pair of flat irons.
But there are many little low win

wide, low mirror. In this place the
women of the family go beauty hunting
every day. And the first move on en-
tering the gymnasium is to open all the
windows.

The New West.

New York Post: The revolution,
alike in financial position, and in ex-
ternal aspect, which has been going
on before our eyes in New York and
other eastern cities, has been proceed
ing at an even more notable pace with
the great inland towns. The change
has been so swift, and in many ways
so dramatic, hat it has been difficult,
e. for observers on the spot, to de-
tect and properly depict it's varying
phases. 1t Is quite possible, for this
very reason, h a fasteners, absorbed
IN bewildered contemplation Of the new
east, should overlook the changes in

1t is now less than a decade ago that

very generally closed their doors, its
railways were largely in the hands Of
receivers, it's trade was PROSTATE, and

the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.
The winners must show improvement

instead of heavy, sour and indigestible
things. To have no more greasy, burned

The populists have always made the
land question one of their leading is
sues. At Denver they expressed it
land for use rather than for specula-
ton" That civilization depends upon
the home and the home upon the GER
tain tenure of the land occupied by the

the most easily demonstrable truths
With each family owning nome, or,
Better still, land enough from which

rendent people. When land is held out
Of use for speculation, when it s mo-
nopolized by the few, when conditions

dare not enter without permission"
then are the people safe.
This principle has recently been IL
l,.strated in the strike of the Kaffirs OF
South Africa against the imperialist
gold miners who brought on the Boer
war. There were two strikes, one at
Denaby by the English white miners,
and one at another place by the
Kaffirs. The Tribune of johannesburg,
South Africa, gives the following ac-
count of these strikes:
In the gold mines of the Rand before
the great war there were some 10000
black men working, and these men
were paid the wage of f2 los (s1250)
a month. When the war was over the
great mine owners of the Rand all
agreed that in future they would only
pay these natives Fl los ($7.50) per
month. Then, too, like the Denaby
miners, these ignorant KafIirs refused
to go to work, and they stayed in
their homes. {. At last the mine own
ers of the Rand, the millionaires, the
multi-millionaires, submitted They
raised the wages of the black miners
to f3 ($15) a north, and the black
miners, getting all they asked for,
poured into work.
So ended the strike of the black
miners.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1903-08-20

And now, what was the reason why
the ignorant Kaffir succeeded in main
tsining his freedom. while the free
born Englishman has to acknowledge
himself a slave?
This is it.
When the Kaffir struck work he re-
turned to his kraal. There he was
part owner in the tribal lands. He
grew maize and pumpkins to eat, and
there was milk and beef for him to
drink, and a roof to shelter him. He
did not starve, for he had access to the
land on which he could support HIM
self till he cared to go back to work.
The free-born Englishman, the
Denaby miner, had no land of his own
to go to. From that on which he
lived he was elected by the owner. He
had to work in the mines, on the mine
owners terms, or starve.
The land Of the Kafiirs belongs to all
the Kaffirs.
The land of tie English belongs to
only few of the English.
That is why the English miner was
beaten in the strike and the Ka1ir
succeeded.
