Answer to Question, Should
COrsets Be Worn? Depends
on individual Cases.

e1T-=s HE question, should the young
girl wear c~orsets, Is a subject of
many more or less heated argu-
ments between daughter, mother and
family physician.
The latter advises against using the

And in the end the question always

Of the Individual girl.
The girl who stands badly and
whose back is weak should wear cor
sets made expressly for her. She
should go to a physical culturist at the

the figure; 1t will not cure physical
defects.

Timely Hints.

Biting the lips causes the skin to
become tough and hard, and it Their
naturally becomes pale.
A simple toilet water is composed
of two ounces each of elderf1ower water

1t is a bad practise to clip the cuti-
Gle at the base of the nails, as the
skin Is apt to become rough and
shaggy.
For hands that have become hard

Clipping the end of the hair about
once a month stimulates the roots,

CURRENCY COMMISSION
BILL PASSES SENATE

Washington, May 23.-The senate,
without division, adopted a joint reso-
luton reported by Senator Nelson W.
Aldrich from the committee on f.
nance, creating commission to be
called the national monetary commits
sion, to be composed of nine senators,
to be appointed by the presiding Of
ficer of the senate, and nine represen-
tatives, to be appointed by the speak
er of the house, to inquire into and
report to congress what changes are
desirable or necessary in the none
tary situation of the United States or
in the laws relating to banking and
currency, and for this purpose the
commission is authorized to sit dur
ing sessions or in the recess of con-
gress at such times and places as they
may deem desirable.
Aldrich stated that the conference
on the banking and currency bill had
been unable to agree upon a report
and said that as congress was to ad-
journ at an early date no agreement
could be reached at this session. That
there might be thorough investiga-
ton into banking and currency meth
DDS, the conferees had agreed that the
resolution should be rec
for passage.

SUBSIDY FOR ORIENT AND
SOUTH AMERICAN SHIPS

Washington, May 23.-Congress has
taken an official step looking to the
payment of ship subsidies, the confer
ees on the postoffice appropriation bill
having agreed to accept the amend
ment by the senate authorizing the
postmaster general to contract win
steamship lines running to ports OF
South America, the Philippine islands
Japan, China and Australia for the
carrying of the mails and to pay 10
vessels Of the second class the same
rate that is now paid on American
vessels of the first class to Europe
and to vessels of the third class lne
rate now authorized for vessels OF tne
second class.
There are no American lines OF 1ns
first class to the countries named, anu
the effect of this legislation will be "
encourage the establishment OF Man
and passenger steamer lines to porO
of those countries.

SHIP SUBSIDY DEAD
HOUSE REJECTS SENATE AMEND.
MENTs AND THE SENATE
YIELDS.
Another Close Vote Killed Conference
Feport-House Also Wins conten-
ton in Matter Of Mail Weighing
After These Defeats Senate Yields
Remaining Points.

Washington. May 25.-The house
again wrestled with the subject Of
mail subsidies to steamship companies
and once more recorded itself against
the proposition by the vote of 145 to
154. The debate ran well into the
night.
Having been overwhelmingly defeat
ed Friday, the conferees on the post
office appropriation bill came into the
house with new report, agreeing with
the senate on everything except the
subsidy provision and that relating
to the system for weighing the mails.
The portion Of the report on which
there was no disagreement was adopt
ed unanimously under an agreement
to extend the time of debate on the
subsidy question.
The senate amendment changing
the standard of weighing the mail by
reducing the number of days on which
the weighing should be conducted was
showed under 81 to 1856.
Dy IedSVA VI Tic dCliou VI Lie uouSc
in rejecting these amendments, the bill
again went back to conference for the
third time, although the senate already
had agreed to the report.
AS soon as the action of the house
was announced in the senate, Penrose
moved to recede from the remaining
senate amendments and discharge the
conferees. r The motion was carried
and the congressional work on the
postoffice bill was thus completed. The
eject was to leave the mail subsidy
provision out of the bill and thus eff
fectually dispose of it for the present
session.

INCREASE IN
CANADIAN WHEAT ACREAGE

Ottawa, Ont, May 23.-Reports re
ceived from various parts of the Cana
dian West indicate that the increase
in wheat acreage this year will be
tremendous. Local grainmen are OF
the opinion that about 100000, 600
bushels of wheat will be threshed out
in 1905
While fears are expressed that, ow-
ing to labor and other difficulties, the
government section connecting the
Fort William branch of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway with it's line at
Winnipeg will not be finished in time
to aid in moving the grain crop of this
year, there is little doubt that the ia
cilities for transportation of grain be-
tween Winnipeg and the Great Lakes
will be enormously developed this fall
This will be brought about, however,
by the completion of the double-track-
ing of the Canadian Pacific main line
between Fort William and Winnipeg.
This double-tracking is a stupen-
dous undertaking, involving the ex-
penditure of more than $10,000,000.
There being so vast an increase in the
area of land put under seed in the
Northwest this year, under favorable
circumstances the railways will have
thrown upon them in the coming fall
by far the biggest task they have ever
undertaken, but SO largely will the
handling capacity be increased that,
no matter how big the harvest it ia
confidently predicted that there will
be no more grain blockades.
H. w. McWilliams, an American,
who is prominent in the Winnipeg
grain trade, and who has reports from
every section of the Canadian West,
states that 100000 acres of land will
be sown to wheat there, an increase
of 100000 acres. The coming of the
American farmers into the West is
largely responsible for this great and
rapid progress in grain production.
