Feeding Bran.

Bran is rich in phosphates, but it is a
food that hens do not like unless it is
scalded. Never feed it to them in raw
condition, as it is liable to cause bowel
disease. A mixture of equal parts of
bran. corn meal and ground oats, scalded
and allowed TO remain until the mess Is
cool is the best grain food that can DO
fed.

Of the angle was flame, coming from q
wick made of pitch Of rushes, which
must be cut at full moon, as the fame
was thought to wax and wane with the

other substitute for the candle was the
boy candle. 1t was made by splitting
up the resinous logs Of the primeval

bogs.
They were left to dry at the freside
over the cruck or chain that held up
the pot over the fire. The candlestick.
called the peerman, was stone with

corset as it was in earlier years, be-

an instrument for the compression of

familiar, lis built on a different plan.

IDEAL corset Is one that Is made to or
der and adapted to the needs Of the
individual body, ! but for those who
cannot afford this there are substi-
tutes In plenty. A woman should
seek until she finds what she wants.
The new corset increases the size
Of the waist line, thereby giving room
for play OF the lungs and diaphragm.

laced for days and weeks at time.
Now the woman loosens the lace at
night and tightens them in the morn
ing. When she puts on the corset it
is so loose that it hangs upon her like
a bag. She clasps the garters that
are attached to the front and, n she
be Of stout figure, to the sides. settles
the corset down over her hips and
abdomen, drawing long deep breath
after this is done, and then proceeds
to tighten the laces. She does this
carefully, drawing the lower ones first
and then those above the belt line.
Never must she make them too tight
for comfort. AS soon as she does this
she Injuries her figure as we'll as her
feelings. When the laces are tight
enough, she should cross them IN the
back, bring them to the front, pass
them under the garter on the left side
and tie them there.
The great advantage of thus tight
ening the corset laces every day is that
the figure can be humoured. There
are days when woman feels that a
tight corset is more than she can
bear. Then she leaves the laces loose
at first, and draws them up later in
the day when she has reached the
point where little closer compress

THE DAILY yRIhvJNE.

Published every afternoon, except Sun
dav. at Bismarck, North Dakota, Is deliv-
-red by carrier to all parts OF the city at
30 cents per months, or S per year. The
daily sent to any address In the United
states and Canada, postage prepaid, Is per
year; s. for six months; $50 for three
months.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
Published every Friday; eight rages'

one year; so cents for six months; Is cents

The Bismarck Tribune Is the Oldest
newspaper In the state-established June
II. 1873. 1t has a wide circulation and Is
a desirable advertising medium. Being
published at the capital Of the state It
makes a feature Of state news, OF SEMI
official character, and is therefore particu-
,arly interesting to all who desire to keep
the RIM of state affairs-political, social
and business.

that it helps her to keep her shoulders
straight and her body erect. She
must learn to poise herself properly,
throwing her weight on the balls of
her feet and resisting the temptation to
sway backwards. That is tendency
which grows upon women as they ad-
vance in years and in flesh. If they
do not stand 60 straight that they
lean the other way they let their
shoulders droop until the middle OF
the back is like a hump. All about
the country one may see women in
the late fifties who have bent their
shoulders until they look almost as
though they were deformed. This
could have been spared them if they
had taken a little pains early in life.
And even an elderly woman can do
much to correct such stoop If she
is willing to give herself trouble about
it. g.t=&53
To stand straight is neither to bend
backward nor to droop forwards
The prominent abdomen is as un-
slightly as the bumped up shoulders.
The woman with a trend towards
either should exercise herself every
day standing in front of mirror. She
is wise il she follows the advice of
one sensible housakeeper and hangs
a looking glass in her kitchen where
she can see herself as she steps back
and forth about her work and bring
herself up with round turn if she
slips into any slovenly trick Of car
riage. ~ -..G - Il, rs5s@5{
The corset will give good figure
for a time, but a woman must work
to keep it. If she is too thin for
beauty the task will be simpler for her
than for the woman inclined to put
on flesh. The latter has her work
ahead Of her. The thin woman may
have to take exercise. as the stout
one must do, but she has less to carry
about with her while she is doing II.
For both It Is essential that exercise
should be taken in doors and out. The
latter - vastly preferable, for obvious
reasons. But the exercise indoors is1
far better than nothing.

The resignation of Warden Boucher
of the state penitentiary to accept a
bigger job with Minnesota was de-
cided surprise to North Dakotans.
Boucher has served the state for de-
cade and also from the opposition Of
an element at Bismarck he seems to
have made a. favorable impression
everywhere. The fact that he was Sc
lected to succeed such well known
penologist as Wolfer of Saltwater in
dicates the prominence ne has attained
while caring for North Dakota crimi-

This not satisfactory to the republi-

There is no excuse for a woman's
having poor figure. 1t may give her
some trouble to get a good one but it
is worth the effort 49,.
Some women begin life without
figures worthy of the name. While
they are young girls they are scraggy
and fat, or; lumpy and shapeless.
These peculiarities do not lessen with
age and when to their natural draw
backs the owners add utter careless
ness, it is no wonder if by the time
they have reached middle age they are
a trial to the eyes of their friends.
As a matter of course, it is easier
to let oneself go and not take the
pains that the. care of figure de-
mands. But no woman with the least
particle Of vanity in her make up
and it is a very poor sort of woman
who lacks it-can help feeling thrill
of pleasure when she beholds the i'm
provement wrought in her appearance
by good corset, properly worn. r.
For the corset Is the first essential
in the making of the figure. A num-
Der of other things go with it. The
woman must carry herself properly,
but the corset helps her to do that.
She must pay attention to her outer
dress, and to this too, the corset will
stimulate her. Her diet cannot be en-
tirely neglected, if she wishes to have
her form reduced from over stoutness
or redeemed from ultra thinness, but
with the corset as a foundation fol-
her efforts she will be encouraged in
the work of regulating her food. =.

people who find nothing bad enough
to say about the corset. have seer

after midnight. Ruth, the third daughter
and fourth child of Oscar P. Wright, was
born In this town Oct. Is, 1877. She was
reared with our young people and educat-
ed In our schools. She pursued her stud
les further in the Johnson Normal school
graduating from that Institution in Janu-
airy, 1897. Then for a time she followed
the profession of q school teacher. On
Dec. 81, 1900 she married DIR. w. A. Young.
our local physician. One daughter, Marion,
is the fruit of this union. Never strong
physically, disease fastened itself upon
Mrs. Young, and she wasted with con-
sumption. The hand on the dial of her
life was to stop ere 1t reached high noon.
She was only twenty-six years and eight
months of age. All that loving care could
do was done, and she passed away quietly
leaving almost a smile on her peaceful face.
The funeral, which was held at the house
the following Sunday, was attended by a
large number of people. The deceased was
member of the Congregational church.
Formerly she had served as teacher in the
Sunday School and as president of the C.E.
society. Her late pastor, the Rev. Arthur
b. PEBBLES, who baptized and received her
into the church one Easter Sunday, came
from 5. Acton, Mass to officiate at the
services. He paid sn affectionate and ten
