leg above the knee, and Thomas Austin,
student of Howard University. who
had an abrasion of the right leg at the
ankle. 1t was at first believed that his
leg had been fractured.
The accident occurred about 2:25 O'Clock,
ten minutes before the arrival of Presi-
dent Roosevelt accompanied by Mr. An
drew Carnegie. The church was well
nlled with people at the time the heavy
noorlng gave way, precipitating between
fifty and one hundred persons into a
pit, fully twelve feet deep, and that a
panic was averted in the edifice is said
TO be due to the GOODNESS of certain Of
Ulcers of the university. The police, under
the command of Capt. Elliott also ham
died the situation with tact, and speedily
eXtricated the men and women from the
cellar Among those who went down

woman, who cried out as she limped to-

'if your leg was broken as you say, you
could not walk upon it."
Mr.. Van Schaick was caught under a
mass of thing, concrete and timber and
pntoned down until released by a police
man. DR.. Thomas and Prof. Chickering
were both bruised by the sudden fan
with the mass of Gebris. That there were

is NOT ALL.
Physicians Now Believe Less In Trans
mission of Disease.

Medical men are coming round to
the view that it is the personal his
tory that is of primary Importance. or,
in other words, that a mans own man
ner of life, his record of health, and
his circumstances should be more
carefully considered than the illnesses
that his ancestors died of. DR.. Rabag-
liati, a medical examiner for insurance
companies, who is well known in the
profession which he adorns, and of
high repute in the north of England,
has devoted much thought to this
question of heredity from a life insur-
ance point of view. In his opinion it
is not SO much disease that is trans
mitted from one generation to an.
other, but organization, or human
ity," as he expresses it. Any member
of the human family may suffer from
any disease to which humanity is sub
ject, and when an individual SO suffers
1t Is the cause of the ailment that
must be inquired into. Exposure to
this or that set of conditions brings
varying results. If the body is exposed
to one set of conditions it will take
on govt; if to another, consumption;
If to a third, cancer; and so On.

clans, but did not get much relief.

Several years ago while at q

EMPIRE EFFECT IS BACK.
Revival of Old style Called Fer by
Fashions Edict.

The much discussed empire effect is
accepted in this country with more
than "a grain of salt" We have been
trying so hard, especially the women
Of "~embonpoint," to get a long waist
that is somewhat disconcerting to be
suddenly compelled to shift ones
wa;at under the shoulder blades.
Fortunately, even Dame Fashion has
to bow occasionally to common sense,
and while few of us would really be
daring enough to ignore her dictates,
feminine opinion this side Of the wa
ter has enough pulp with the arbi-
trary dame to compel notifications of
her rules.
Thus the empire lines are simulated
by many women who would utterly re-
fuse to dress strictly "a la Josephine
of extravagant tastes and wifely de-
votion.
The chief factor in gaining this en-
pire effect is the girdle. This
is on rather novel lines-always
rounded in front and slipping from six
inches in the back to three and a
half inches In front.
These girdles, whether separate or
in shades matching the gown, are
made with the material cut on the
bias, in order that they may fall
into softer and more plant folds. They
are heavily boned underneath on each
side of the back, on both sides and
front.

IN POISE OF HEAD
is SECRET OF PERFECT FEMlN-
lNE FIGURE.
Symmetrical Development of the
Neck Is All important Where Per-
feet Carriage is Desired
Some Useful Exercises.
How do you hold your head?

How do you hold your head?
This may seem an Insignificant con
sideration to many women, but to
those who know, it means the poise
Of the entire body.
When the head is held correctly, in
a straight line with the spine. 1t draws
up the chest, gives a graceful, natural
poise to the shoulders, fiattens the abb
domen and so produces that perfect
balance we admire in women of regal
bearing and dignity,
This natural and perfect posture of
the body is we'll exemplified in the
arrow-like Indian, so also in the peas
ant women of Southern Europe who
have long been famed for their mag
nificent physique and perfect bodily
poise, which is traced to their habit,
centuries old, of carrying objects OF
one thing and another on their heads.
In exercises for the symmetrical de-
velopment of the neck all the work is
done by the head and the raised arm
on which the head rests at intervals.
Assume the position shown in the
sketch. Here the arm is so poised
that when the head is in repose the
tips of the fingers will lightly rest on
the middle of the forehead. These ex.
ercises should be taken while you
are sitting, only see to it that you are
sitting we'll with the chest thrown
out. When the table you are using

FRocks OF POWERED SILK.
Fashions Fancy a Boon to Woman Of
Limited Means.

Crepe de chine and Powered silks
are a boon to the forced to be econo-
mical woman for there are SO many
different shades of color in one and
patterns in the other as to make it by
no can impossible to have an at
tractive evening gown without being
wickedly e~xtravagant. OF course, there
is no limit to the amount of money
that can be spent in the more expen-
sive grades of Powered and brocaded
silks and satins, while in crepe de
chine as well the wide field of expense
is decidedly alluring; but there are
sales when crepe de chine, and in most
fascinating shades, can be bought at
absurdly low prices, while in the silk
sales 1t merely means the expenditure
of time and taste to choose an effect
i've coloring and design. Figured net
and just a bit of handsome lace, with
ribbons and bright buttons, comprise
all the trimmings needed, and for
the crepe de chine net the same color
on the waist and sleeves is extremely
smart and effective, and no lace is
needed. Furthermore, If there be a
silk lining that has already done duty,
provided it fits and hangs well, the
dressmaking part of the gown need
not present insurmountable Difficult
ties.

seems too low place a book or two
under your elbow. Another movement
consists of slowly rolling the head
backwards keeping the fingers station
airy, so that when it is as far back
as it will go, the finger tips will be be-
low the chin. Then bend the head as
far forward with the hand or finger
tips on the crown. Repeat five times
alternately.
Rest the finger tips upon the nose
or forehead, twist the head around
until the fingers touch the side of the
head we'll toward the back, repeat I'M
til you have swung your head around
in nearly a semi-circle.

up that splendid contour of the neck

IN GRAY AND YELLOW.
Will Be Seasons Popular colors In
Tailor-Mades.

Gray and yellow are to be used
much together, especially gray tailor
mades with yellow facings and cuffs.
The latest thing in the tailor-made
line is the waistcoat-like jacket in
striped and checked materials. This
makes the waistcoat correspond with
the general scheme of the gown and
displaces, for a time at least, the vest
of plain silk or cloth.
A number of women prefer pongee
and silks of that class for spring wear
or until it is time to change them
for summer linens. The latest pat
terms in these fabrics show delightful
stripe and plaid effects, and gray and
yellow combinations find frequent
repetition here. A soft silver gray
pongee, marked off irregularly with
heavy lines of white and yellow, has
excellent possibilities for spring, and
innumerable changes are rung on this
theme.
One will find among the prettiest of
the pla~in-toned silks one-piece frocks,
with blouses and skirts joined by in
set bands or girdles. These are really
are purely princess models cut in one
from shoulder to hem, as far as effect
is concerned-but the amateur knows
how much easier of accomplishment
are they than the real princess.

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form Of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it, try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, n ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take in
~teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" It acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out Of
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
long-standing cases of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try 1t.
