HEAVY CORSET LAcERS BEST
Last Longer and Are Infinitely More
Comfortable All the Time They
Are In Use.

Women should learn the value Of
adding a pair of extra thick wide silk
corset lacers to the price of any cor.
set they buy. 1t is remarkable how
much easier the corset is drawn to-
gether with these and how much more
comfortable is the pressure of silk
against the skin than that of cotton
or linen.
Every one knows the truth OF the
last statement, but they do not always
know there are two grades Of these
lacers, slightly different in cost. and
that the length of life Of the expensive
one and the way it enables one to lace
the corset properly are easily worth
twice the difference in nickels.
The new corset is long over the
hips and II it is laced with thin
string 1t will bulge in an ugly curve
over the lower part of the spine. The
thin LAGER is not strong enough to
hold the bones in place and they take
on lines that are ugly, to say nothing
Of being uncomfortable.

"Shcw Me" Tires Governor of Missouri

TO be moral certainty that the same
old 'wheeze' will greet him. II is al
ways on meeting man. Aha, gov
ernor. suppose Wen have to show
you or on being introduced to an
audience: The governor of Missouri
will now show u.s.
And, of course. he has to smile,
and to acknowledge the 'witticism' in
some apt way. There are only six or
eight forms of the show me- joke at
most. and he has learned to know, by
the way speaker starts, which one is
coming. and to have his jocose little
answer ready. And any one who sees
him bravely trying to be cheerful and
smiling in the face of the inevitable
bromides must sympathize with his
longing for something new.
His case is fully as bad as that of
Gen. Sherman. Old Tecumseh once
said.' you remember. that whatever
war might be. It was nothing COM
pared with having to hear Marching
Through Georgia played wherever he
went. and that II he ever had foreseen
his sufferings from that song he would
heve marched not only to the sea, but
into it."

Blue Stylish Color.

Over in Paris, whence all our sar-
torial inspirations emanate. the ques-
ton of color for spring has been as
definitely decided nc It is possible for
such matter to be. and the result
Is that We have series of six beau
tifully clear, cold-looking blues, which
are called Pole Nord, and series of
warm topaz shssss known as Toison
dor, as first anc second choice, with
six gray shades following in favor.
These grays are known as the Douvres
shades. The north pole blues are sure
to be good with us. and the golden
fleece shades are smart.

CARE OF TIE NECK
nEAuTiFUL THROAT COMPARE
lively EASY TO ACQUIRE.
Present Vogue Of coIIarIess Froeks
Makes Its Possession imperative
-Polse OF Head Must Be
Carefully Looked To.

Every girl has yearning for good
looking neck. She knows no style OF
frock is more becoming than one that
reveals the throat. and the fashion
for collarless frocks shows how rare
are lovely necks.
A neck to be beautiful must have
more than lack of bones. The head
should be well and easily poised. the
neck full and flexible. and flesh hrm
and fine.
While much OF this is not to be ac-
quired by art or exercise. being de-
pendent upon the shape Of the struc-
ture of shoulders. much can be done
to improve upon nature.
Thinness is about the easiest fault
to overcome. Plenty OF sleep and
abundance OF milk and raw eggs
should fatten most necks along with
the rest of the body.
A roughened skin is harder to over
come, but can be done by care as to
diet. A daily scrubbing with flesh
brush will do much to conquer the
rough, scaly flesh commonly known as
goosefiesh, so often found on the back
Of the neck, and nightly cleansing
with cold cream does wonders.
Before one is to wear low gown
IL is well to have the neck carefully
gone over with green soap, which must
be then rinsed of and the neck mas
saged a bit with cold cream. This
should be done early. SO the skin may
have time to resume its wilderness be-
fore dressing.
The poise OF head is harder to &C
quire. Many an otherwise lovely neck
is ruined by the poise of head. Per-
haps It is thrust forward. or is carried
to one side or hunched into the shout
ders. Any Of these habits is insight
ly, and should be fought.
This must be done by neck and head
exercise. One of the best is to sit
and walk with book on head each
day. Do not stiffen the muscles to hold
this weight, but manage II by balance.
Practice will enable one to move the
head and neck freely. with no thought
of the head weight.
A good neck depends largely upon
the general health. Deep breathing ex-
ercises are excellent. The windows
are raised and one loosens the collar
and rotates the head and neck in
every direction at the same time hold
ing the breath or drawing in long.
deep breaths. Not only will the neck
improve but so will the nerves.
No woman can hope to have a good
neck who insists upon wearing high
stiff collars. Except when on the
street the woman who lives at home
should wear collarless gown that
leaves the throat free. When collars
must be worn they should be soft,
loose. and lined with white SO as not
to discolor the skin.

Whisky Gives 100 Sick Chickens Gag

shortly after midnight and took look
at his coop.
One hundred chickens were

The first thing he did was to get

last of June, to find that the commo
dore and general had at last found
something worth wrangling about.
II had been discovered that a GER

great yield stood about on the line
between their two residences. That

They began II argument and ended
in an uproar.
The commodore secured the serv-

chain and theodolite found that the
tree stood a full inch on the naval
mans land. Then the general
brought out another surveyor, and aft
err two surveys it was found that the
tree was his by two inches.
"Egad, but I'll go to law" exclaimed
one officer.
And III defend my rights with
shotgun" exclaimed the other.
Each one announced and declared
and contended that it was the prin-
ciple of the thing and not the cherry
tree he had at stake, and each one
had purchased the wire to run fence
along and take in the tree. Thus mat

how slang word or expression ap-

mot long after 1t has taken its

their sign for II. and It is more quick.
ly said by a sign than in words. For
example, told the boys to cut It out,
for when ! see them using slang find
II more effective to reprove them in

In a large school the boys invent

throughout the world Of deaf mutes.
as some Of the slang Of speech
spreads among all who speak the
tongue in which 1t originates, and is
even translated into other tongues.
when II comes to cuss words and
ether bad language" the instructor
said In reply to a qeustion. 'the signs
are nearly the same all over. A
roguish boy will swear like pirate

profanity Of the mute world is de-
noted by signs that for the most part

There is just one publication which 1t
is admitted all Vermonters should have.
Reports to this effect are widespread and
intending We refer to the Vermonter,
published as the state ma gazine, at White
River Junction, VT. This magazine var
les widely from all others in that it serves
up Vermont material only, in a way to
do the State proud. While small in bulk
nothing is too large to be covered in pre-
sentation-as witness such memorable
editions as its Tercentenary number last
year and its recent report OF the State
Fair-replete with n Illustrations. How
such completeness is possible at 800 a
year is beyond our Observation-Disclosures
sbly 1t is because editor Chas. r. Cum
mings Is a printer Of unusual experience.
However, The Vermonter is a going prop
osition and promises great things for 1911.
