NEWPORT SAL CONS
 CLOSED FRIDAY NIGHT
County Judge Joins the Church and Refuses to Reissue Liquor Licenses for tlie Coming Year.

Newport. Dec. ;31.-The old year was rung out last night with the clang of cash registers in the saloons of Jackson county, but the New Year will not be rung in in the same way.
 Newport and the whole of Jackson county is today as dry as the prover- bial bone, all on account of the uneX- pected religious experience of an ex- bartender, H. s. Simmons, who is now county judge.
 A month ago Judge Simmons an nounced that he, having recently been converted to the Baptist faith, could not conscientiously grant liquor li- censes another year and the licenses all expired at midnight last night. Among the saloons closed is one be- longing to the judges brother.
 The saloons have been preparing for several weeks to close and have been selling off stock and fixtures as rapidly as possible.

NO CHECKS FOR
 SMALL AMOUNTS

Congress Has Quietly Passed a Little
 Surprise for Bankers and DcpOSitOrS
 by Making il Penal OfcnSc to Is-
 sue and Circulate Less Than S1OD
 Checks.
 Washington, Jan. 1.-Cnder the new section of the penal code of the United States, it will hereafter be a serious offense to issue check for a less amount than $t. The new code becomes effective tomorrow. The language of the provision forbids the making, issuance, circulation or pay ing out of any note, check, memor- andum token or other obligation for less than a dollar.
 Business firms who have been inter- viewed as to the effect of the new enactment say it will mean the sub stitution of postage stamps, subsidiary coins and postoffice money orders in lieu of the bank checks for payment of dollar.
 The number of bank checks drawn in payment of balances of less than a dollar are very few. Outside of the mail order houses the number of such checks received in the course of business is comparatively insignif- cant
 Legislation q Surprise.
 Treasury officers are at loss to account for the legislation. It does either house of Congress- The con sideration of the report of the com mittee to codify the penal laws Wa5 attended with very little interest in Congress. Bankers who have been in- tervieWed on the legislation Were as much surprised as the treasury off cers to account for it.
 One banker expressed the opinion that it was step toward the estab- lishment of a postal savings bank, but Senator Hepburn of Idaho, chairman of the joint committee on revision in the Senate, made a speech ill opposi ton to the postal savings bank bill. The most rational explanation of the enactment appears to be that it was designed to stimulate the sale of pos tage stamps and postal money orders

The Waist Muscles.

However successful stays may be in
giving a woman the correct figure now,
she must make provision for the future,
for if she Is stout and flesh is COM
pressed under strong stays she later may
find that the compression may cause
muscles and cords to lose their natural
elasticity and power to hold the weight
of flesh, and should this happen a wom-
an would rue the day when fash-o
changes. as it always does. and another
shape is required for her gowns.
To obviate such possibility exercising a
little without stays will do no harm.
and perhaps may do a great deal of
good, in that it will keep the body in
muscular condition. and the more the
muscles are able TO do what is required
OF them the better.
1t stands to reason that if they are

is certainly worth trying. An excellent
movement is to try to bend from the
waist, going low while keeping the knees
the knees to bend, for then there is no
work done by the hips. Bending over
front, back and sidewise is limbeiang.
Any woman who has seen skirt aanc-
ing will understand that the beautiful
posing of the dancer is done entirely
from the waist line, and the hexiblllty OF
muscles there enables the lancer to be
graceful, and at the same time it keeps
her slender.
All so-called Kicking of professional
skirt dancers is done fiOm the hips.
Women unframed in physical culture 40
not begin to work the muscles and cords
about their hips and waist as much as
they should, and in that fact lies the
cause of increasingly large figures as
middle age comes on.
1t Is not we'll to try to bend from the
hips while wearing long stays, and in
decd such an effort may work harm by
the organs. Muscles must
have room when they are to be exer-
cised, and unless all restricting bands
are removed they are better quiet.

Large lamp shades are not advisable
The fashion Of the day calls for glass in
some form, as soon as the lamp assumes

and the candles that call for these at
tractive shades.
Some years ago there came an agree
able method of making a lamp shade
from magazine pictures of beautiful wom-

transparent rice paper and paneled with
strips of gold braid or paper.
This was repeated at each edge of the
finish. The best known of the good-.oo

lamp shades. but If preferred one can use
well known authors. This choice Is
pecially good for lamp to be used on u
