SAD DAYS FOR sTAMpPArrsRs

These seem to be troublous DAYS
for the standpatters. Even such a
sacred parsonage as Henry Cabot
Lodge, friend of presidents, and the
man who has dominated the political
situation in Massachusetts, for years is
not safe from the assaults of those
coarse and vulgar persons who cannot
see the beauty or appreciate the sane
tity of a tariff law which is making
millionaires and giant trusts while you
wait. The impertinent and sacrelig-
eous Butler Ames-a republican-act-
ually dared to aspire to his seat in the
Senate, and now that uncouth individ-
ual, Governor-Elect Foss, has the
cheek to demand that be retire as
candidate for reelection. This must
cause much grief and righteous indig-
nation among the Home Market Club
Of Boston, who want tariff law that
will issue a guarantee against the
risks of industrial investment, as
well as pain and sorrow on the part Of
MI. Lodge. Why what would the
Senate do without him? 4 It surely
would not be a Senate, and the country
would certainly 60 to the bow-wows.

Now they are calling Roosevelt a
plagiarist. They say he didnA invent
the word ''frazzle,,, and his expression
"We have beaten them to fragile"
is by no means original. The express
sion was hailed with delight in the
North, but hardly anybody in the
South thought anything about it. OF
course Roosevelt didn't invent it. No
body south of the Mason and Dixon
line ever had any such idea for the
word is as common as 'chunkin'
rocks" meaning throwing stones,
"trapesin' around" meaning to travel
around, or "your name in the pot, "
meaning ''come have dinner, we ex-
pect you," or we have abundance fol
you.
FRAGILE, FRAGILE, fragile, why you can
hear it on any plantation or in any
town in the South. 1t is used in
many forms. s'I'm all frazzled out" is
common expression, meaning tired
out, over weary. sworn to frazzle''
is another, meaning that a thing is
actually worn out and is of no further
use. "Beaten to frazzle," Mr.. Roose-
velts use of the term, is in common
use to convey the very idea he wanted
to convey-that' of a complete and
overwhelming defeat of an opponent.
The negroes have dozen applications
of the word. No doubt Mr.. Roosevelt
has, in his travels in the South picked
up q score or more of plantation ex-
pressions that he will aptly spring on
the public from time to time, and
which will be hailed in the North as
inventions of the fertile Rooseveltian
brain, but at which people in the
South will smile, having known them
from childhood. They crop up every
now and then. For instance ''projick.
ing" means wandering, and also pry-
ing, "biggity" means conceited OF
stuck up, as she seems mighty big
CITY," ''give him larruping," means
to give him whipping; ''I'll frail the
hide off N him" is plantation expires
sion for I'll whip the hide off him.
TO banker" means to long for a thing,
and s'to hone" means the same thing.
No. fragile is not original with Mr.
Roosevelt. But we do not know thai
he ever claimed that it was. He simp
" used the expression, and let people

A PHYSICIAN ON CoRsErS
Says They Should be Designed by
Doctors and Lace In Front

"a properly constructed corset gives
the woman wearing it the most artistic
figure possible for her to have. In
most cases of semi. invalidism q right
~ made corset will lift it's wearer to
health and develop her figure to lines
of beauty" -
DR.. Franklin II. Martin at the Post
Graduate hospital clinic in Chicago
said doctors should be the ones to de.
sign corsets. He said that corsets al.
ways will be worn, but that they need
only be made properly to produce 9
race of classically beautiful women.
He commended the current "straight
'front.' fashion.
These are DR.. Martins rules for by.
gienic corseting:
The back Of the corset must be mold.
ed rigidly.
The corset must lace mp in front.
The front lacing should be planned
for fexibility and ready adjustment
to the wearer's figure.
Measurements for the correct should
be made by physician.
DR.. Martin said the fashionable
straight front and easy, we'll made
waist would produce healthy bodies.
"a corset is splint," said he. "Yor
would not advise patient to 60 to al
instrument shop and pick out his OWL
splint for deformed limb.
"As the corset is q splint, if thu
figure it is placed on is the proper
shape to begin with, the corset should
not change the outline, but sustain it
ga stout woman should have a cor
set that will distribute her flesh, re-
duce her hips, fatten her abdomen
and support her. A slight woman
should have q corset that will mode
her figure to artistic lines and thai
will prevent displacement of the stom
aoh. Her figure will become rounded
by a proper gain in flesh if the diges
tive organs are not hampered by an
improper corset and if proper diet
is selected for her.
"The harmful corset is the one that
disproportionately narrows the waist
and fails to support the body. Such 6
corset will occasion serious digestive
symptoms, and, if persisted in, will
produce appendicitis. serious diseases
Of the stomach, and finally semi-in'
validlsm.
"On the other hand, a scientifically
fitted corset is q boon to many WON.
en-; without it they would never be.
ccme strong, but with it they receive
the necessary assistance that enables
them to be transformed from unhap-
py apparitlons and hypoohrondriacs
without ambition to healthy women. u
DR.. Martin gave his lecture on cor
sets as an impromptu dissertation in
the course of q surgical clinic His
subject was intestinal diseases.
"Civllised women always have
worn consets,'' he said, "and they
always will. The subject is a most
important one to the general practi.
TONER. The present fashion is en-.
couraging. The straight front. which
depresses the abdomen, and the uI
right lines Of the waist are good. The
points to be remembered are that q
physician should order the corset. and
that the adjustment should be in front
and not behind. The body is snlld and
bony behind. That is where the rig
idity should be This front of the cor
set should be 80 adaptable that it car
