THE WAIST OF A WOMAN
IA WOMAN WILL ALWAYS EN-
AGGERATE HER POINTS"
A Few Tips for the Stout Woman
Who Should Avoid Striking
Effects as to Tightness.

A woman always will eXagger-
ate her points. That is perfectly
true. We have all seen the woman
who worships her waist, who gives
her every thought to it, who dress
es only for it, who sacrifices all to
it. Oh! those pale blue noses and
those Tightening, ever tightening
stays, that hour glass appearance
ever accumulated as the years go by
that are not lean years! That slow
starvation whereby eyes, hair, skin
and temper wither and sharpen and
grow dull for the woman who keeps
her figure" and of her youthful
attractions nothing else at all,
writes Mrs. Evan Napean.
| have known about three women
with naturally small waists--really
small, bien entendu. Then nothing
ever looked prettier. But the wo-
man whose tiny waist is produced
by any degree of pressure whatever
is positive misery to me, unless
she stands or sits still. When she
moves l want to cry. When a wo-
man with frightened waist runs l
want to laugh, and do! One really
can not help it, if one has any bump
of admiration for the poetry of mo-
ton. Think of a racer, a greyhound,
in very tight girth. Can you i'm
agine anything more deplorable
than the result would be ?

that one acre of land is capable of

Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept In
Every Household
Where There Are Little
Children.

Peruna should be kept in the house all
the time. Don't wait until the child IS
sick, then send 20 a drug store. But,
have Peruna on hand-accept no sub
stitute.
Children are especially liable to acute
catarrh. Indeed, most of the affections
of childhood are catarrh.
All forms of sore throat, quinsy,
Group, hoarseness, laryngitis, ETC., are
but different phases of catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per-
nanent use in so many homes is that 1t
contains no narcotic of any kind
Peruna, if taken according to printe
directions, is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length of time without
acquiring a drug habit. 1t does no
produce temporary results, but it is per
manent in it's effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re
moving the cause of catarrh.

THE INVENTOR OF CHESS

IT COULD NOT BE PAID.
Entire Surface OF the Face of the
Globe Could Not Have Produced
Wheat Enough to Pay 1t.

GLOBE COulu NOT nave IEpIhCCu
Wheat Enough to Pay 1t.
An Arabian author, Al Sephadi,
relates the following curious anecdote:
A mathematician named Sessa, the
son of Dahar, the subject of an Indian
prince, having invented the game OF
chess his sovereign was highly pleased
with the invention, and wishing to
confer on him some reward worthy OF
his magnifcence desired him to ask
whatever he thought proper, assuring
him that it would be granted. The
mathematician, however, only asked
for a grain of wheat for the first
square of the chess board, two for the
second, four for the third, and so on
to the last, or siXty-fourth. The
prince at first was almost incensed at
this demand, conceiving that 'it was
ill-suited to his liberality. BY the
advice of his courtlers, however, he
ordered his vizier to comply with
Sessa's request, but the minister was
much astonished when, having caused
the quantity of wheat necessary to
fulfill the princes order to be calcu-
lated, he found that all the grain in
the royal granaries, and even all that
in those of his subjects and in all
Asia, would not be sufficient.
He therefore informed the prince,
who sent for the mathematician, and
candidly acknowledged that he was
not rich enough to be able to comply
with his demand, the ingenuity OF
which astonished him still more than
when the game he had invented.
1t will be found by calculation that
the sixty-fourth term of the double
progression, beginning with unity, is
9, 223, 372, O36, 854, 775, sos, and the sum
of all the terms of this double pro-
gression, beginning with unity, may
be obtained by doubling the last term
and subtracting the first from the sum.
The number, therefore, of the grains
of wheat required to satisfy Sessa' 5
demand will be 8,446, 744, O73, 7O9,-
551, els.
Now, if pint contains 9,216 grains
of wheat a gallon will contain 10, 72S,
and a bushel-eight gallons-will con-
tain $50, 784. Dividing the number of
grains by this quantity we 81, pa, 997, :

There is no need worrying along in
discomfort because of a disordered
digestion. Get a bottle of Kodol for
dyspepsia, and see what it will do
for you. Kodol not only digests
what you eat and gives that tired
stomach needed rest, but it is a
corrective of the greatest efficiency.
KodOl relieves indigestion, dyspep-
STA, palpitation of the heart, fatu-
lence, and sour stomach. Kodol will
make your stomach young and
healthy again. You will worry just
in the proportion that your stomach
worries you. Worry means the loss
of ability to do your best. Worry is
to be avoided at all times. Kodol
will take the worry out of your stom-
ach. Sold by Dawson Drug Co.

liable to develop into lasting disease,

clothes in any vogue that may reign
paramount-the moderate waist
does very well.
If you are a woman of the usual
height 1--WE run tall nowadays, and
[ mean anything between D feet 6
inches and six feet in your shoes
anything in the way of a waist that
means corsets between 20 and 20
inches will do quite nicely. And,
after all, it is not the actual inches
that really signify. 1t is the round
ness of the waist, and the curves of
the hips, the way the figure is held
in below it and carried upright
above it, that tells,
And where the waist comes, not
too long not too short, that again
is of so much importance. And the
way in which the figure goes in"
at the back of the waist, too. A
great deal matters where q waist is
concerned.
If 1t BE Too Large.
If it is too large be very careful
not to draw attention to it.
Never let your belt or sashes at
tract notice by reason of their cut,
shape or color; never make them,
in fact, the feature" of your
gowns. Do not go in for too clear a
waist outline, and above all be very
careful how your stays are made.
If YOU have a figure that wants
keeping down, " like the clergy
mans wife in Red Pottage well,
be very careful that you do keep it
down and how you do it. Let your
belts and bands form a deepish
point, and pin that point in place
first of all pulling down your skirt
before you put in the pin mind.
Do not have a high cienture, and
avoid folded belts-those mean hor-
izontal lines, which are not for your
waist. Avoid buckles, avoid any
thing glittering in that region, es-
chew chatelaineS and such like tri-
fles, punches of charms, eyeglasses,
purses suspended whereabouts. Let
YOUR waiStwear match the rest of
your attire in color as much as pos
sible, have nothing dark or light
when your frock is medium. Have
extra attention paid to the fit of any
thing, but avoid all else, have moth
ing tight. 1t is a golden rule that
so few people know. | have found
QUITO tighten your corsets if you
must tighten something, but never,
never to put on anything above
