What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has just

No Change at K. S. A. c.

considerable discussion has been
caused in Topeka and other parts of
the state over the report that the en-
trance requirements had been raised
at K s. A. C. by President Waters,
the new executive. These reports that
have gotten out over the state are en-
tirely unfounded, and are the result
of a discussion among college off
Gals where it was stated that such
would probably be the case some time
in the future. The requirements for
entrance to the freshman year, as well
as to the preparatory and short
courses will remain exactly as they are
given in the college catalogue. The

BY MADAME ALTA.

The following exercise is an excel
lent n for correcting and straighten-
ing curved shoulders in young people:
Take a perfectly erect position. Place
the heels together and the toes at an
angle of 45 degrees.
Drop the arms by the side, initiating
and raising the chest to the full capac-
ity, ~muscularly, keeping the chin well
drawn in and the crown of the head
as rigid as if it were attached to a
cord suspended from the ceiling above.
Slowly rise UP on the balls of the
feet to the greatest possible height,
thereby exercising all the muscles of
the legs n body, and then drop ones
more into the standing position with
out swaying the body backward out Of
the upright straight line.
Repeat the exercise a dozen or more
times. 1t is wonderful what a bene-
fetal effect this exercise has upon
round shoulders, If practised regularly
several times a day.
1t is also surprising to note how
soon the lungs begin to show the effect
of such expansive development.
Children with round shoulders should
be encouraged to walk for an hour
every day in the garden or playground
balancing a light tray or small book
ulon the head.

Mothers of Little Ones Wow Making
Spring Clothing for Their Children

collar and cuffs of plain but brilliant
hued cloth have a distincts charm. III
For little girls under FIVE there Is
perhaps nothing prettier or more sery-
iceable than corduroy, as 1t can be
washed most successfully in either
gasoline or water. The old-rose shades
in corduroy make particularly dainty
and dressy coats for little tots. They
require no trimming save handsome
pearl or corduroy covered buttons, and,
of course, are unlined. The front edges
are faced with the corduroy and the.
seams and hem are bound with either
wash ribbon or bias strips of Saline.
For school dresses the plaid ging-
hams and natural colored linens take
first place and the Russian or one
piece dress will be worn by girls up 20,
thirteen years to the exclusion of al
most any other style. This Is a most
sensible style, too, as the dress may
be either buttoned from shoulder to!
hem with handsome buttons, which
form a trimming, or 1t may be fastened
with a fly under a box or side plat,
so that the ironing becomes very much
simplified. One especially model
had three box plaits in Norfolk style
running to hip length. Between these.
box plaits was a group Of five tucks'
which added fulness to the skirt.
The dress was of plaid bingham and
was to be worn with guimpe. The
low neck was finished with q little.
pointed yoke of white linen and there
were two straps of linen over each
shoulder; these were finished In points
and buttoned over the yoke. with tiny
pearl buttons. A shaped belt of linen
fastened with a large pearl buckle
completed this simple but fetching
little gown. The colored insertions and
embroideries are very much used on

thus his master had no suspicion what
ever that the trick had miscarried.
But Gardiner was intensely i'll at

think that he wanted prussic acid and
arsenic for any but an ugly purpose,
and felt that he had been made a tool

results.
He knew the truth about Jack Peth-

which the latter was to a for the evil
dence in his possession. He was cum

occurred to take Margaret Hutchinson
away from Broadstone or to damage
her character, the value of his W
evidence would shrink to nothing.
