wais,.Line Shows Prosperity.

There are certain evidences OF pros
perity that are not TO be disputed. A
prominent Boston manufacturer OF
clothing who turns out 100000 cheap
suits Of clothing annually" has discov
cred that the human waist-line is the
barometer OF public welfare To a
newspaper representative he said the
other day:
Il have made n study OF our bust
ness for number OF years and have
drawn some very interesting econom
ic lessons from IT, Perhaps the most
interesting is that ten years ago the
principal call for our clothing, which
goes largely TO the west and south,
was for waist measurements OF 80
In the south. Now the call Is largely
for So and 36-inch waist measurements
10 the same class OF people. This
means better methods in American
ways OF living.
That ought TO settle II for some
time. So long as the waist line Ia
ex banding what is the use OF all this
talk about the iniquitous trusts, the
tariff, forest despoliation and the high
price OF putty?
II would also be Interesting TO learn
something about the increase or de-
crease OF human dimensions In the
New England and Middle Atlantic
States during this period. How are
the waist measurements around these
parts?-Providence Journal.
