who entered the place tonight and es-
capped with about $500.
Hauser and his wife were checking

sack into which Hauser had just
poured the money.
Hauser made a lunge and recovered
the bag, which he passed to his wife
as the thug grappled with him. A
struggle followed, which ended when
the robber placed his revolver against
the back of Hausers head and fired.
He then threatened the woman with
the weapon. She tainted.

Are the Cause of Her Short
COmiDgS, Says a Physicians.
Do IT FOR CHEAP ADMIRATION

Talks of Chest and Hips, and Says
COrsets Are Unnecessary and In
furious. Relegates European and
American Women to the Rear
Ranks of Civilizations Advance.
Chinese Women Most Virtuous in
the World, and Japanese Women
Most Immoral.
NEW YORK.-Dr. Isaac Taylor
Headland relegates the American
and European women to the rear
rank of Civilizations advance. DR..
Headland, who has recently returned
from China, where his wife, also a
physician, attended professionally
the ladies of the royal household,
was started upon the arraignment Of
the corset by a dispatch from Gin
clnnati which told of Miss Elsie Cas-
ser daughter of Attorney Gasser of
Mclicken avenue, having died from
tne effects of tight lacing. The
young woman died some days ago.
Corsets of any kind are unneces.
SaFy and many kinds are injurious, "
remarked DR.. Headland. "All of wo-
mans shortcomings are caused by
1et efforts to appear beautiful
All of mans shortcomings are
caused by his efforts to satisfy his
e'oSer instincts"
:. But what causes our women to
tsuaslne that small waist is beauti-
lul! was asked
!, A womans chest and hips form
sne lines of her body that differ most
1IoA the lines of a man. For that
aedSon they are supposed to be most
s5eatly admired by men. The sim
pest way to make the hips and chest
u woman prominent is to compress
her waist.
American and European women
nave reasoned that this is alluring,
ana they are willing to sacrifice the
human race that they may attract
'ue cheapest form of admiration. "
-, And do men really admire the
'Onormally small waist?"
Originated With the French.
Unthinkingly, yes, l suppose they
w. admitted DR.. Headland. ITO
Sue masculine mind the small waist
suggests a certain daintiness. 1t
makes the form seem more supple;
seems to emphasize the femininity
vi 1t. High heels and small shoes
slve the same impression, as do the
SnaIl gloves. 1t is the desire for
nat small and dainty effect which /
fancy originated with tae French.

WOMANS EFFORTS TO BE BEAUTIFUL

But would you have women go
without corsets?"
Il realize that if American and
European women were to continue
their present fashions they could not
discard their corsets,' granted Dr.
Headland.
But why not the Grecian or Chi
nese style of dress? Both are ex-
ceedingly modest, comfortable and
beautiful.
But the Chinese women bind
their feet" he was reminded. "Why
do they do that?"
Il have translated a little poem
from the Chinese that explains that
CUSTOM" said DR.. Headland. 1T is
like this:
" Have you ever heard the reason
For the binding of your feet?
Tis from fear that twill be easy
To go out upon the street.
" 1T is not that they are handsome
When they take a crooked bow
That ten thousand straps and bind
ings
Are thus bound around them so. -
There you are. That is the real
reason for the custom, resumed DR..
Headland. In the first place. it was
done because one of their princesses
was born clubfooted, and her SUBJ
jects tried to emulate her After
ward the Chinese women kept it up
because it prevented them from
walking any distance. They could
not go on the streets. This is in
accord with their ideas of propriety.
Chinese women are very carefully
guarded.
Japanese Women Immoral.
''In my opinion the Chinese wo-
men are the most virtuous in the
world.
THE Japanese women are the
most immoral in the world.
THE Japanese are the lowest type
!of Oriental women, just as the
French woman is the lowest type of
the white races.
To a great extent the clothing of
the women of various nationalities
indicates their standards of morali-
ty, continued Dr. HeadlaRd
THAT is why the American-Euro-
pean corset, outlining and emphasiZ-
ing woman's figure as it does,
places its wearer on a lower plane
mentally and morally than the Chi
nese woman.
In the dress of the Chinese wo-
man there is absolutely nothing to
suggest the lines of her form. Every
garment hangs straight and full from
her shoulders, and is securely fast
ened at one side. On the other hand,
the japanese woman, whom l regard
as the least moral woman in the
world, displays her contour with a
frankness that is shocking even TO
nation that accepted the sheath
gown, Usually the japanese woman
wears but a single garment, and this
is seldom fastened in any way. She
will walk on the street holding her

WITH SPOTLESS RECORD ENGINEER
SAMUEL BUSH BRA VELY MEETS THE ENL
Passengers Tell Tragic Last
Look at His Wrecked Engine, Then Passengers
His Breath Testify Sobrey.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Passengers who
were on the Southern train wrecked
near Bristol, Va, last evening ar
rived here tonight, bringing details
of the bravery of Engineer Samuel
Bush of Knoxville, Tenn, who died
today as a result Of his injuries.
Was Horribly Injured.
Bush was slowly and painfully
working his way out of the wreck
of his engine, scalded and frightfully
bruised, when the few passengers
who retained their senses dug into
the mass of twisted and burning iron
to meet him.
He was lifted out upon the ground
and a hurried call for physicians re-
suited in the discovery that there was
not a doctor on the train.
Asked for Last Look at His Engine.
AS the passengers began a hunt
for whiskey to stimulate him and
were breaking open suit cases in
their search Bush asked for last
look at his old engine, as hopeless
a wreck as was its engineer. When
they came to him with the liquor
he begged them to look after the

THE SWEETEST OF TOWNS
ARE WOMEN AND
GIRL FLOWER PICKERS.
Grasse, in the French Riviera, Per-

Grasse, in the French Riviera, Per-
fumes the World. The Home
of Distilled Fragrance.
The sweetest town in the world is
Grasse, in the foothills back Of
Cannes, on the French Riviera. All
through the year Grasse is really one
big bubbling cauldron where are dis
titled gallons, barrels, hogsheads of
perfumes.
In the spring violets, roses and
narcissus form the principal ingre-
dents; in the fall jasmine and tube
rose. All the flowers are grown in
the open sun, except the violets,
which, requiring shade, are hidden
between rows of owe trees.
The fower-pickers of Grasse and
the flower girls and flower women of
the "Jeu de Ballon" form a far more
picturesque element THAI the per-
fume makers of the factories where
the fragrance is distilled. Coiffed
with great, fit, pancake hats of
plated straw the fiower-pickers cam
not fail to impress one. With them
are their helpers with square flower
laden baskets on their backs and
smile-the traditional smile of
southern Europe-on their faces.
AS for the process by which the
perfumery of commerce is made it
is as varied as the flowers which
make up the ingredients. Primarily
the essential oil or otto of a flower is
obtained only by distillation. The
residue is then mixed with clarified
or refined pork fat by boiling in great
copper kettles and being stirred con-
stantly with a wooden pestle during
the operation.
1t is this boiling down with fat
that gathers the perfume to itself.
The impermeated grease is then
churned up with refined alcohol in
another cauldron until all, or nearly
all. the perfume has passed into the
spirit.
The fat remaining with a slight
impregnatlon still lett to it is made
into soap, by-product which is no
inconsiderable factor in the turnover
of the establishment, though often
enough this leftover product is sim

business it is to work it up into

And you think that American and

asked

finality. Sometimes l think the

be due to the eating of musty and
purified corn.
Some months ago a young Missis-
sippi woman died of what was I'M
questionably pellagra. The case was
surprise, because she was well-to-
do, of class not likely to eat spoiled
cornmeal, but it was impossible to
find to what circumstances or cOndi-
ton the case was due. 1t, however,
attracted attention to the disease
and more careful investigation by
the physician brought to light cases
of pellagra in Alabama, Louisiana
and other states, leaving little doubt
that the malady has prevailed for
years in this country, but escaped
observation.
Confused With ParanOia.
In Louisiana cases of pellagra
were discovered in the state insane
asylum at ~Pineville, and the charity
hospital at New Orleans. Four of
the patients have died recently, and
a study of their cases and autopsies
have shed a great deal of light on
pellagra in America that will enable
physicians to recognize it more east
ly, differentiate it from paranoia-
under which name most of the pa
tients were sent to the asylum or
hOspital-and diagnose the malady
properly 1t was only when the rash
/ peculiar to pellagra (ltalian for
rough skim broke out, that the real
cause of the disease was known. The
patients rapidly grew worse. Suffer-
ing at first from extreme nervous
ness and insomnia they finally went
into an anemic and comatose condi-
ton, lost the use of their limbs,
seemed to suffer great deal and
died Taying.
Horrors of the Disease.
Descriptions given DR.. John n.
Thomas, in charge of the state asy-
lum at Pineville, of the sufferings of
the patients who died in that instituA
ton of pellagra are most distressing
The patients were sent there as suf-
fering from paranoia (delusional in
sanity. The characteristics of the
disease were first shown in a rash
which broke out like sunburn in the
whites, but black with the negroes
This appeared on the face, neck,
arms, feet and ankles, finally Jassum-
ing an ulcerous appearance. The
patients tongue swelled until he
could scarcely eat or speak; he
seemed to suffer great pain, and the
face and head twitched and trem-
bled. The throat and tongue peeled
off as in diphtheria; the arms and
legs were paralyzed and muscular
weakness became general The pa
tient sank into condition of COM
plete insanitation, the mind blank
and the body emaciated. An autopsy
showed nearly all the organs af-
fected, the brain congested and both

and the heart atrophied.
