There is no excuse for woman s
having poor figure. 1t may give
her some trouble to get good one
but it is worth tue effort.
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 tLeir natural draw
backs the owners add utter careless
ness, it is no wonder if by the time
they have reached middle age they
are trial to the eyes of their friends.
As matter of course, it is easier to
let oneself go and not take the pains
that the care Of the figure demands.
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 improvement
wrought in her appearance by good
corset, properly worn.
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 foundation for her
efforts she will be encouraged IN the
work Of regulating her food.
Even in this day there are plenty of
people who find nothing bad enough
to say about the corset. l have seen
one matron give way to tears while
addressing a woman's club on the evils
that had been wrought by corsets.
And she was not hysterical woman
either. She had known the corset as
it was in early years, before common
sense and science went to it's making
and she knew the harm it had done
those who regarded it as an instrument
for the compression of the waist into a
smaller compass than Nature had in
tended for it.
with which fashion papers and comic
columns have made veryone familiar,
is built on a d ff'rent plan. 1t does
not squeeze womans organs out OF
shape, but holds them in place. AS |
have said before, it must be properly
made and properly worn. The ideal
corset is one that is made to order and
adapted to the needs of the individual
body, but for those who cannot aff,rd
this there are substitutes in plenty.
A woman should seek until she fnds
what she wants.
The new corset increases the size ol
the waist line, thereby giving room for
play Of the lungs and diaphragm.
There is no difficulty in deep breath
ing with the woman who wears a we'll

When such exercises as this are
taken it should be with the window
open, even in cold weather. There is
no Use in initiating the lungs unless
you fill them with fresh air. For this
reason as we'll as for many others, out
door exercise is preferable to that
taken in a gymnasium, no matter how
we'll equipped this may be. At the
best, it is only a substitute. Long
walks, horseback rides, bicycle spins,
golf or tennis, all do their share in
developing the muscles, reducing

may be aided by such appliances as
lifting machine, dumb bells, Indian
clubs, and the like. Because Of the
many muscles called into play by it,
ping pong is one of the best house
games known. 1t encourages bend
ing and STOPPING and reaching and
stretching, and by all these means
develops and improves the figure.
But, says some one. GLOW can this
be done in the long. : ~'ra'.ht front cor

But there are corsets which come to
be worn on such occasions. The rib.
bon girdle corset, made either in heavy
satin ribbon or in wide tape, or the
short equestrian corset is adapted to
all sorts of vigorous exercise. it is
also excellent for the women who do a
great deal of housework which re-
quires bending over and STOPPING.
While it does not hold in the over
plump figure as a heavier, longer cor
set would do, it is far better to yield a
little restriction than to break corset
steels and suffer discomfort at the
same time.
A woman can never allow herself
to become careless about he corset.
Having gone to the expense and pains
of procuring one and learning how to
wear it she should rot let the gain
slip away from her. When her corset
becomes old and out of shape she
should have it reboned, as it is worth
while to do with good corset Never
should she relax her vigilance over
her figure and her way of carrying
herself. Perhaps for a while it will
seem a good deal of burden, but after
time the we'll carried form, with the
back straight, and head up, the shoul-
ders properly poised, will become in
stinctive, so that the trouble would
be to bear herself in the wrong way.
1t is a woman's duty to keep her
good looks as long as she can and a
good figure is most important part
of them. A pretty face is all very
well-there are few women who would
not be willing to yield virtue or two
to possess a charming countenance,
but it loses a great deal if it is set
on top Of a badly cared for, badly
carried figure. When woman gets
toward the point where youthful
charms are forsaking here, it is a
boon to her and to those about her if
she has we'll made, and we'll bore
form. And the possession of this is
within her own power.

RECAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

In speaking of q persons faults.
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember, those with homes Of g'a>s
Should never throw q stone.
II We had nothing else to do
Than talk Of those who sin.
'Tis better We commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have DO right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company.
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has not?
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know.
Have fifty to their one.
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word may do
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes. like
Our chickens, r0ost at home,
Don't spes k Of others faults until
You have none of your own.

HE WAS THE PROVOST.

An English gentleman driving
through village in the North of Scot
land one day, almost came to grief
over heap of dry wood and decayed
branches which poor-looking old man
was accumulating on the road
way.
The stranger cried in no very civil
terms to the old man to clear the road
and let his horse pass, of which not
the slightest notice was taken.
"You old dog!' shouted the gen.
tieman, whose patelce was now ex-
hausted, II Will have you brought up
before the Provost and put into pris-
on for dsregarding the laws Of the

A Venture OF Farmers,

~ / The farmers who have, organized. an association
to handle grain and coal st Groton can,
if their venture is property steered, do not only a
good thing for the farmers tributary to that point
but can bring more business to that thriving town
than any other institution in it. With more than
ordinarily fruitful fields to draw from and with an
exceptionally eaterprising class of farmers to give
it loyal support, still the one other essential, with
out which the enterprise can never succeed is, of
course, good honest business management. The

The Groton association has for encouragement
aud guidance two remarkably successful institutions
which were called into existence to fight the same
unjust conditions whica htvs lroa5ad these south

older and much the most widely known, Isl the

membership includes about 500 farmers. THE

Armour Herald: There are democrats-and
we have them in this state-who are talking about
a stsafe'' man fol the democratic nomination,
meaning some man we presume whom the trusts
will endorse. The Herald would prefer to see the
party 90 down in defeat again rather than shoulder
the responsibility of the trusts. The repuEf-
leans are trying to shake them of-and it's high
time for the denocracts to see to it that the party
is not burdensd with the octopus. The financial
panic of '93 was unloaded onto the democrats,
and we don't want history to repeat itself. If in
order to win a party must be backed by trusts we
prefer to belong to the Minority.
