To Dsvelop arms and Shoulder

Dear Mrs. SyfneS.
Win YOU kindly publish some method
o. fattening the arms and shoulders and
also a way 70 get rid OF goose hesh'' on
the arms?
Is there any way TO make the eyelashes
grow longI CLAIRE.
To develop the arms and shoulders,
massage them every night with cocoa
butter, and exercise in the morning
with dumbbells.
I cannot tell you what TO DO 10 get
rid OF goosehesh. for in each case the
cause of IL mag be slightly different
and therefore each case may need a
different treatment Sometimes Il Is
caused by the poor condition OF the
blood. and then again by improper
circulation, I advise you to consult
e physician and have him prescribe.
II you will apply vaseline to the
edge OF the eyelids Il will increase
the growth oS the eyelashes. Be sure
that the vsseline is pure. so that II
any should happen 10 touch the eye
Itself no harm Will be done.

Eng Blackjack motion an opportunity
for the cultivation OF catlike grace and
for the more perfect development Of tho
figurel The game is not strenuous. for
the hoops are light and easily tossed
and caught The whole art lies in the
ease with which the game IS played
One could hardly play a pretty game
and yet walk heavily and clumsily.
Neither could shoulders be bowed and
waist too large If the figure is held
erect. as it must be to see the flying
hoop.
One Of the chief beauties, to my mind,
Of the old-fashioned game is that the
player need not wear frocks OF unat-
tractive type. Experts may easily mar
age the two sticks and play in dainty
evening frocks. And what a charming
picture 1t would make!
II you wish the best advice I know.

when colder days come, you will be
glad TO have a game that you can play

TT is the duty Of every woman to be
graceful. Some are gifted with a
n natural grace and some acquire
grace as they pass from the tom
boy stage, but others never seem to
lose their youthful awkwardness with
out the aid OF grace-teaching exercises.
Many years ago. when the schooling
OF maidens included all the arts and
accomplishments Of the drawing room.
grace was taught IN the Summaries and
by the resident governesses. Then It
was that grace hoops became extreme
~ popular. The handling OF the sticks,
the catching OF the hoops and even the
reaching for them, when lack OF skill
at the game caused them to fall, ali
were found useful In teaching the play
er control OF every muscle. It was I'M
fortunate that when tennis, golf and
other more strenuous games camo into
fashion grace hoops were forgotten.
But is II too late 10 revive them7 Is Il
not entirely sensible to again cultivate
a game which teaches such admirable
lessons in muscular control and which
at the same time affords the best Of
healthful exercise and contributes to-
ward rnuch-needed grace?
Grace hoops are played by beginners
with one stick apiece and one hoop.
The object Is to toss the hoop into the
air with the sticks and to keep It in
motion without any assistance from the
hands You can easily see this requires
agility; that the arms In the handling of
the sticks must be free and quick and
that the reaching for the hoop will give
the shoulder apd back muscles ample
opportunity for development Then
when the hoop falls to the ground the
player must stoop TO recover il, but she
need not bend her knees while STOPPING.
Bending to the floor, as 1 have often
told you. Is the best exercise I know
for making the waist long and small
and supple. When playing grace hoops
you must bend over many times. Be
sure. then. that you get all the good
you may from the game

THE GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS.
The daily Alaskan., 1909-12-17

R a man comes to Alaska with. faith in the government ownership. idea. that idea is due for severe. jolts sooner or later-heQuently sooner. The stricture applies at the present time to the postal and the telegraph service. Not that the gov ernment has failed to establish a good system of mails and of tele- graph lines; but, having established them. the government fails to run them in a business-like manner. Who will believe that private company, promising to bring four mails over the trail in one month, would bring two of them without first class matter among the lot? Who believes that a private company would leave a cable unmended for three weeks on the bottom of the ocean?
 We are told that the government gives us mail and telegraph service as a gratultous accommodation, and that We should feel grateful. "Pio- Dea-s sbouI5 mt up with anything without complaint" and that sort of thing Yet we cannot help thinking about it and thinking that if the same enterprises were in private hands. We should receive better ser vice without the obligation. A pri, vate business has this stimums-il is not given there are no dividends; and the better the service the great, CT the volume Of business and the greater the profits. A private tele- graph company would keep its of, flee open day and night and would charge lower rates; both innoya- tions would increase business, which Is what a corporation wants. A pri- vate mail carrier would not leave us four weeks and more without newspapers and magazines from the outside. and would not refuse to car " packages.-Falrbanks Times.

Because he is a man the corporations cannot bend to their bidding. He has a mind Of his own and exercises it and dares to be free and independent the same as any free American citizen should be.

RECIDlViSTS MAY BE
RELEASED ON PAROLE
GOVERNOR GILLETT AFFIXES
SIGNATURE TO BILL
Measure Making Appropriation for
Probation Officers to Find Work
for Former Prisoners Passes
Both Houses

Governor Gillett on Saturday signed
senate bill No. 554. which makes it
lawful to parole recidivists.
More than 700 men are now confined
in San Quentin and Folsom who are
recidivists. Many of these men, when
released at the end of their original
term, found themselves adrift, without
any means of support and under the
severest handicap of notoriety, in con-
sequence of which they virtually were
forced again into life of crime.
The new law, which is largely due
to the untiring efforts of Col. Griffith
J. Griffith, is believed to be so pat
undesirable conditions.
Another most desirable measure, also
tenacously championed by Col Grif-
fifth, has passed both houses. 1t APP
propriates $4,000 for state probation
officers. whose duty it is to find work
for criminals about to leave prison and
likely otherwise to be in a helpless
position.
Next year, when the 1900 new cells
have been made ready, for the first
time in this state it will be possible to
segregate and grade prisoners.
1t is believed that with the inaugu-
ration of these reforms; with the re-
moval of the possibility of deserving
prisoners who are out on parole being
subjected to unjust money demands,
and with the installation of state re-
formatories for the adult California
will have placed herself in line with
the other states that have adopted the
more humanitarian methods of dealing
with crime.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, March 21.-The important new
legislation proposed in the tariff revision bill
introduced at the special session of congress
last week has, been Of paramount influence in
the securities market, and indeed, in all the
financial ana commercial markets.
The effect has been one of confusion rather
than of any definite shaping of sentiment
This is partly due to the conviction that the
bill as introduced is destined to amendment and
alteration and also to the necessity for a period
of adaptation to new conditions that will fol-
low Its final shaping
failure of the bill to produce adequate
revenue is discussed as a possibility and the
provision for the issue of Panama canal bonds
TO rimburse the treasury for expenditures on
that account and the authorization of an in-
crease in treasury certificates from 500, 600 600
to 25O,O0O,0O0 gives an impression of apprehen-
sion on the part of the trainers of the bill Of
shortcomings as a revenue producer.
The effect on the treasury of gold exports
offers q subject for some anxiety, owing to the
low surplus of gold in the treasury vaults and
the congestion there of national bank notes in
course of redemption.
Attention is drawn to the matter by the gold
outgo to London, and the development of
new factor in that outgo. This is the evidence
that the joint stock banks of London have en-
tered upon policy of reinforcement of re-
serves in compliance with the urgent represent
tations of the banking and currency committee
or the Association aof Chambers OF Commerce
of the United Kingdom.
London financial authorities estimate this
movement may call for an accumulation OF as
much as 800. 900, 600 in cash to be held in the
vaults of the joint stock banks without any
corresponding increase In the lending power
OF these institutions.
The demands which may thus be entailed

have some early effect on the New York money
market.
