IIh suspected that his daughter

course which he had best adopt he
forgot her.
AS events turned out i. would not
have made any difference had he re-
membered her. Though 10 have re-
membered her would certainly have
produced results which would not
have increased his peace OF mind.
The king prided himself on being

man for assistance in time of trouble.
He had always stood apart and alone,
! confident in himself and treating those

safety under himself as the merest
pawns in his game. Therefore he
would discuss with no man the thing
which had come 10 pass. And the only
sign OF anxiety which his court could
detect in him was the increased cool
ness IN his manner.
To Ludwig. of course. he would be
compelled to speak, and therefore for
Ludwig he waited.

Meanwhile DR.. A. Ernest Gallant OF
New York came to the rescue of that
much maligned article Of feminine APP
parcl. the corset, by declaring that In
stead of being dangerous it was bene-
fetal If properly constructed. DR.. Gall
liant told the physicians who made up
the obstetrical section that he had In
many instances recommended corsets
and that he even approved of pads ana
artificial means of making a lean form
appear plump.
ITO be sure anything which goes to
make woman appear more beautiful
and does not injure health Is desr-
able" naively asserted the physician,
While the women doctors in the audi
ence smiled their approval
To back up his statements the ply
stefan produced diagrams of the figure
as II should be and of the proper
means of building 1t out or restraining
1t by means of the corset. The corset
has a tendency to hold the organs in
place. he added. and adds to the at
tractiveness of the wearer. -
"a pad makes cushion between
the clothing of the Wearer and the
steel" he said. "The pads may be half
an inch In thickness or even thicker,
according to the desire of the wearer.
Whore / order the corset for patient

cause the appearance of even propor-
lions"
1t was suggested by members of the
Society for the Study of Inebriety that
the prohibition party should busy itself
with the restaurants which sell I'M
pure foods, which, according to one
physician, cause as many drunkards
as Intoxicating drinks.
In order that the prohibition party
be consistent in getting at the root OF
this evil it should seek the prohibition
of the sale of much of the food sold
in the restaurants" said DR.. T. ID.

Dir l.. D. Mason, Of Brooklyn, took
occasion to denounce the present
methods of municipalities in dealing
with inebriates, saying that these
methods made habitual drunkards and
did nothing toward curing them.
