The Deadly Corset Exposed.

Women as a class are slaves to
fashion. The style dictates what
shall be their wearing apparel from
the tops of their heads to the soles
of their feet. No really "up-to-date"
woman would dare to be out of
style, and yet being in style simply
indicates, in most cases, that a wo-
man has no special intelligence OF
her own, and that she must be guild
ed in every minute action by the in
telligence of other so-called authori-
ties. The unsightly hats that are
being worn at the present time may
be troublesome, but they are not es-
pecially Injurious. They do not cost
more than the time and price the
woman pay for them. The shoes that
the average woman wears pinch the
feet to certain extent
But the corset tells an entirely
different story. The corset repre-
sents the survival of the grossest
kind of ignorance. 1t is simply a
most tragic perversion as to what
should constitute feminine beauty in
the eyes of many men and some wo-
men. What is there about small
waist that could from any standpoint
be called artistic? To be sure, a
large waist would make one look un-
calmly and to a certain extent. the
opposite of graceful in appearance,
but is not the corseted waist-th
waist that is laced and drawn in,
many inches smaller than its normal
size-inartistic and ugly to an ex-
treme degree?-Physical Culture.

Immense Tract of Teton Valley Lands

j. d. killpack, member OF the
Idaho state legislature, OF Driggs.
Idato. who, with Fl. d. Winger, has
formed the Teton Valley Real Estate
& Investment company, was in Salt
Lake Yesterday to confer with stowe
& Palmer concerning the disposal
of $4,000 acres of land in the Teton
valley to settlers, says the Salt Lake
Herald, An agreement was reached
by which Stowe & Palmer will repre-
sent the Teton valley company in

Mr.. Killpack stated that the land
controlled by his company Is about

ranging from $40 to $50 an acre.

OF limited means. But looking to the

rights to get land--homestead right,

came into possession of more land

and spectators also got into the val

for twelve or fifteen years. paying

CHANGES IN THE CABINET.
Taft's Retirement This Week Will
Leave Only Two of the Origi-
nal Members, Root and n.
Wilson.

The retirement OF VIM. Taft will
leave btu two men in Mr.. ROOsevelt's
cabinet who were there when he sue
ceeded to the presidency upon the
death Of President Mckinley. These
are Secretary of State Root and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wilson. Mr..
Root was secretary of of war when
Mr.. Roosevelt became president, In
September. 1901. He shortly after
wards retired from the cabinet, but
was persuaded to reenter 1t upon the
death of Secretary of State Hay.
There have been more changes and
shifts in President Roosevelt's cabl-
net than in that of any OF his pre-
decessors. He has had two secretar-
les Of state, Mr. Hay and Mr.. Root
He has had three secretaries OF the
treasury, Mr.. Gage, Mr.. Shaw and
Mr.. Cortelyou. With the succession OF
Luke e. Wright he will have had
three secretaries of war, Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Taft, and Mr.. Wright. He has
had three attorney generals, Mr..
Knox, Mr.. Moody and Mr.. Bonaparte.
He has had five postmaster generals,
Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Payne, Mr.. Wynne,
Mr.. Cortelyou and Mr.. Won Meyer.
He had five secretaries of the navy,
Mr.. Long, Mr.. Moody, Mr.. Morton,
Mr.. Bonaparte and Mr.. Metcalf. He
had has two secretaries of the inter-
Tor, Mr.. Hitch cock and Mr.. Garfield.
He has had one secretary of agri-
culture, Mr.. Wilson, and three sec
retaries of commerce and labor, Mr..
Cortelyou, Mr.. Metcalf and Mr.
Straus.
The retirement of Secretary Taft
has led to some speculation as to how
long Mr.. Wilson will continue at the
head of the department of agricul-
ture. The chances are that he will
| continue to serve through the term
of Mr.. Roosevelt and should Score,
tary Taft succeed to the presidency II
| is possible that Secretary Wilson
would continue in the cabinet. 1t viii
be twelve years next March since Mr.
| Wilson became Secretary of Agricul
ture. He is 70 years old, but man Of
great activity. However, 1t has been
matter of some surprise that he has
continued in Office so long, as 1t ha:
been the Roosevelt tendency to ge
younger men into his cabinet.
General Luke E. Wright, the new
secretary of war is 81 years old, ant
with the exceptions of Secretaries
Wilson and Root will be the oldes
member of the cabinet. Secretar.
Garfield is 43, Mr.. Cortelyou is 46
and Postmaster General Won Meye
has just reached his 50th birthday
Mr.. Metcalf is So, and Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte is So.
