important improvements since they last
appeared In this part Of the country
At Madison Square Garden, New York,
where the season began, the perform
ances were attended nightly by the
biggest crowds that ever saw a circus
in Manhattan, and the Newspapers
were not backward about saying that
the Ringing Brothers were present
ing, in every respect, the best enter
tainment Of the kind ever given there
The performances in Baltimore will
be identical with those given in the
Garden. not the slightest change hav-
ing been made in the long program.
The circus offered this year is one

other circuses, the Ringling Brothers

Heal,A ana Good Looks.

Both health and good looks depend
upon the development OF the chest.
For II the chest Is not properly de-
velOped, Ii means that the lungs are
cramped and that the air does not nor
cannot enter them sufficiently. The
chest depends for Its correct position
upon the general carriage OF the body.
The shoulders. which have general
tendency to push forward, should be
squared and kept In position. They
should be held well back and the chest
carried forward and outward, as II
supporting an imaginary rosette on
the most prominent part. The posi-
tion is best attained by thrusting
cane or a stick through the elbows as
the arms are doubled up close TO the
sides: the cane at the back holds the
shoulders in position Take long and
deep breathB at the same time These
exercises practiced night and morning
will give O chest expansion in a very
little while. The amount Of develop
ment thus obtained can be gauged by
measuring the chest with tape
measure once a week, being careful
to place II in exactly the same posi-
tion each time. II should pass above
the breasts and just under the arms
The exercise which have often de-
scribed which will also develop the
chest most admirably is performed by
doubling the fists tightly and placing
them on the chest, at the same time
bringing the doubled up arms in a
perfectly horizontal position. Then
slowly separate the fists and bring the
elbows back as far as possible. This
exercise not only develops the mus
cles of the chest, but 1t has great I'M
iluence on those Of the back as we'll.

subject discussed was the question OF

expense which the adoption Of this
system would entail, and because OF
the impossibility OF making a fair
apportionment Of the Offices to the
different districts, It was decided 10
adhere to the convention system
