OPINION is WITHHELD.

President Roosevelt has decided
not to make public at this time the
opinion rendered by Attorney Gener-
al Knox as to the validity of the
Chinese exclusion law in view of the
denunciation by China OF the treaty
regulating the immigration of Chinese
into the United States. The President
was indnced to withhold the opinion
because of the amendment to the
general deficiency bill now pending
before Congress looking to the modi-
ffcation of the existing exclusion
law
AS already announce, the Attor-
ney General, in his opinion, hold
that the exclusion law will continue
effe ctiye after the treaty shall have
lapsed. 1t was regarded as necessary
however, that some slight amend
nents should be made to it on account
OF the denunciation of the treaty.

ALABAMA FOR PARKER

That the Alabama delegation to St.
Louis will be for Parker ootn the re-
turns from the State primary OF April
II and the action of the New York
Democratic Convention render practi.
cally assured
The only uto9ied poiut is whether
the delegation will be formally in
structed for Parker or lot. Indica.
tons are that it will be.
There will be more Cleveland men
in the convention than Hearst men
and more Parker men than all Others
put together. Hearst's advocates
have quit work. Several counties,
notably Madi son and Lawrence, in
structed delegates to the state con.
vention for Parker; other delegations
like that of Jefferson county, the
largest in the State, go uninstructed,
but strongly for Parker. Congresmeu
Underwood sounded Alabama senti.
ment when he said Parker was the
man. Bryan sentiment is hopelessly
shelved. The Clevelandltes are for
harmony and Parker.

that nobody ever notices that she has the prettiest features of the family! Her manner is so annoying that no one can see beyond 1t. She bids fair to remain the wall-iower of the fam lily during all the years to come. If only her aunt--for the poor little girl is motherless--could realize that now Is the time ito take the matter in hand! Every year that passes will fix the habits more and more firmly, until they are beyond help. unless the girls own will power should prove strong enough to force her into a voluntary reform. But the distorted body is forming now. and it will mean a difficult and long an dweary process later on to train the muscles back into their normal position.
 Some regular exercises would draw those shoulders back as they should be, throwing the chest into a correct position. Try these, for instance:'
 Hands on hips. Let them rest there, slightly folded, knuckles touching the hips Sb that the backs of the hands are downward. Elbows out. Keeping hands in position. force elbows back as far as possible. This will bring the shoulders back, too. Repeat irl brisk counts of One, two" sr
 Hands on chest, resting lightly there; chest thrown as high as possi- ble. Elbows out. on a leve l with shoulders. Force elbows back and re. peat. with counts as above.
 Tips of fingers resting lightly on shoulders. elbows raised to a level with shoulders. Force elbows back, as in preceding movements
 Stretch arms straight up in front. clapping; to the rear, as nearly stright as DOSsible. claiming
 These movements and countless oth- CTS will tend to straighten the back. Light dumbbells and Indian clubs and pulley weights are all beneficial and relieve the monotony of exercise with out apparatus. If the child is old enough to play a light game of it. ten his gives much stretching, and is therefore desirable.
 With so young a girl as the Ugly Duckling, 1t would not be necessary to give exercises to reduce the abdo. men, for 1t is really no larger than normal. As soon as the child's stand ing and sitting positions are righted
