PrOper Use of the C0rsef.

The use of the corset is to transmit
the pressure of the skirt bands to the
hips and the ribs, and so to protect
from their pressure the organs in the
region of the waist. The conclusion is
that so long as skirt bands are fas-
tened round the waist corsets should
be worn. They should be sitter than
usually made if they are effectively to
protect the soft middle portion of the
body from the pressure of the waist
band. The front should be quite
straight, and the. waist measurement
should be at least as large as the wear
3cr's waist, measured over q single soft
garment. Chicago Post. i. . 5szsz}.1

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.
as the Mirrors of the Char
acter Beneath.

The most important of all physical
faculties is sight. The eyes, the win
dow of the soul, are the chief avenue OF
communication between the inner ma
ture and the external world. Therefore,
they should be carefully guarded. How
ever trying other physical disadvantages
must be, such as premature wrinkles,
badness or loss of teeth, yet, compared
with the great calamity of failing eye
sight, they are featherweights in the
balance. Science can help us success
fully hide the loss of our hair and
teeth, and, if powerless to hide the wrin-
kles, at any rate aids us to bear them
with philosophy. But the veriest sus-
picio nof failing eyesight is quite SUI
ficient to bring terror to the bravest
soul. Our vision is as precious to us as
life itself. Our intellectual enjoyments,
our outlook on Gods beautiful world
nay, in most cases, our very bread and
butter-depend on the clearness of our
eyesight There is no possession more
coveted by women than pair of beau
tiful eyes. Yet the owner of the ugliest
or most repelling eyes imaginable is
more to be envied if she can lay claim to
better vision. The eyes which posses:
clear sight, whatever their color may
be, are verify the windows of the SOUL
What instructive confidence we place in
frank, sincere gaze! We feel that
those eyes which spell goodness, and
even holiness of life in every glance
are the faithful mirrors of the charac-
ter beneath. In the same way all the
great generals or leaders of men have
possessed in a preeminent degree the
calm magnetism of eye, sure symbol OF
the iron will of their owner Great or
ators have swayed vast audiences quite
as much by the fairy magnetism of the
eye as by the golden harmony of Ian
guage.-N. Y. Weekly.

FORM MILK COMBINE
Iowa City Milk Dealers Arc Parties to
Agreement in Restraint Of Trade -
May be Liable Under Law.

Special to Republican.
Iowa City, Nov. 3.--The milk deal
ers Of the university city have enter
ed into an agreement according to the
terms Of which milk will sell here dur
ing the coming winter for six cents a
quart This agreement, which is plain
ly in restraint OF trade, or to maintain
set price, has aroused an interesting
discussion as to whether the milk deal
ers are not liable under the common
law, for entering Into it.
perfected by the men who practically
control the milk supply in the City. 1t
includes all of the farmers from
whose dair,es the milk is obtained, all
Of the milk dealers who deliver from a
wagon, and all Of the local dealers
who sell the milk from their stores.
The terms of the agreement other than
that the price is to be raised, are not
known, but plainly the organization is
all powerful in the local field since It
controls not only the entire range of
producing agencies, but the agencies
OF distribution. The price at which
they have put the milk at the present
time has not made it profitable to
import the milk from adjoining towns,
though several of the restaurant men
who consume large quantities daily,
state that they will ship the milk in
case the price is again raised. The
penalty for such a combination as 1t
appears the local milk men have en-
tered into. Is not only a heavy fine,
but q prison sentence as well.

ORDINANCE is VOID.
So Decides District Court in Dog Case
From Jefferson.

Special to Times Republican.
Jefferson, Nov. 3--The grand jury OF
this county for the october term OF the
district court has adjourned. They
were in session only three days and
found no indictments.
A case of considerable interest to
residents Of cities and incorporated
towns has Just been decided by Judge
Power at this term Of court. Mr.. John
Wilkinson was arrested under the city
ordinance for keeping an unlicensed
dog. He set up the defense that the or
dinance was invalid because it had no
caption and for the further reason, that
the laws of the state only allowed cities
to tax or license dogs to restrain
them from running at large and that
his dog was not permitted to run at
large The mayor, however fined him
$40, upon which he appealed to the dis
trict court. The court in its decision
holds that the defense offered is suffi-
cient and that the ordinance Is void on
the grounds above mentioned.

inpregnable vault has been constructed

The doors to the vault and the safe

other respects is going on as rapidly as
practicable. The hope is expressed
that the bank may be opened for busi-

The excavation for the cellar Of the
new meat market to be erected on the

healthy competition that will benefit
