THE RURAL DELIVERY MAN.

THAT he is public benefactor Is I'M
doubtedly true" says Bertha Poole Weyl
in Woman's Home Companion. "But his
usefulness would be fmmeasurably in
creased If he were allowed to extend his
business. People who live on the coun-
try routes would joyfully welcome a
chance to send and receive packages by
the rural carriers If the Post-ofice De-
partment would charge only reasonable
rate for the service. Under the present
postal laws it costs eighty cents to send
i've pounds Of rice by a carrier from the
village post-office and general store to a
customer living on q rural route, though
for 60 cents the same package can be
sent 10 England OF any of twenty-nine
foreign countries. Is II strange that I5,-
100000 people carry their own parcels
back and forth to town, and that the
rural free delivery has an annual deficit?
This deficit is not small. There are
SS,2l5 routes which average annually $3.50
in receipts and $3.50 in expenses. This
means net loss of $72O per route or a
total loss of 81. ola 500. Quite q big price

Provision may be made for carrying, at

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW,

It seems 70 be as difficult TO gain flesh
as to lose It, and even though the
fashions demand slenderness We find
many women clamoring for a decent
covering on their bones-in many cases
they are women who would never gain
flesh because their nature prompts them
to do the things which keep il at bay.
The thin woman should sleep long and
often, and she is generally poor sleeper
who finds It impossible to nap. She
should be slow Of movement and ad-
dicted to rest after meals. and she is un-
tiringly active. She should eat flesh
forming foods. which she almost always
finds unpalatable. and never. never worry
whatever happens. Imagine thin Wo-

which she found beneficial, and the heal
er promised her something Of which she
had dreamed q lifetime-good, solid flesh.
She got ii, too, not through diet or sleep,
but through peace of mind. The woman
had always been a victim OF worry. and
after that habit was dropped she grew
plump and pretty.
There is always one danger in striving
to gain fiesh-one cannot stop at viii.
The other day witnessed a meeting IN
a trolley car between two friends sepa-
rated for year or more. One was too
fat for good looks or comfort, and after
she left the car her friend told COM

been pulled from the brink of the grave,

into a shapeless mass, which almost
concealed any signs OF prettiness with
which nature had endowed her.
OF the two extremes, emaciation is TO

II one could translate into English the
meaning of the word chic, one would
probably define 1t as style. 1t is more
than that. as every one knows. It has a
subtle, delightful quality that far out
runs style But there is no one English
word exactly to define IT,
How then may one acquire style? One
has seen many a woman dressed IN the
richest fabrics and the latest fashion
who yet has no style. And alongside Of
her will be some woman gowned in the
most inexpensive way who yet expresses
style from the crown of her head to the
tip CT her dainty shoe. What IS 1t the
one lacks which the other possesses?
One OF the most noted Of the clever
women of Paris gave a talk recently
on Chic in which she threw much
light on this elusive quality.
"Chic." she said, what is Il? A word
without a dynasty. digniied ancestry. or
family tree: without ancestors. or even
tradition. 1t has become the potentate of
Paris. It stands alone, gay. brave, im-
pudently selecting it's own where II

modern. for IL is the great socialist. the
equalizer
"Chic is art itself, modern art It
is not snobbery. the slavish following OF
the fashion. It is no more the victim
OF money than genius Is. Money alone
may produce richness Of dress extrava-
gance at which chic only laughs Money
may produce elegance. but that has no
charm of personal taste.

There is no doubt that extravagance
is running riot this season as far as one
afternoon and evening frocks 20. But
fashion makes up for this recklessness
by looking with favor upon many ma
terials for simple morning dresses which
are extremely inexpensive and extremely
good looking.
The fancy cottons. the ginghams, the
percales and pioues, and the plain and
novelty linens were never before seen in
such an array OF lovely colorings. The

The Bahv,s Second Summer.

During the first year. when the sterile
milk OF the mother is the exclusive food
Of the child. there is little danger OF the
infectious diarrhea that finds its ready
victims during the second summer" says
DR.. dean Williams in the Womans Home
Companion.
There are many reasons for this great
er susceptibility. For one thing. weaving
has Just been accomplished, and the
baby's system must become adjusted to
the more severe strain imposed by arti-
fetal food; then, too, the protective forces
have not been in such great demand
while the source OF supply has been
above suspicion.
THE mother. in preparing to carry her
baby safely over this crisis, must beware
Of irregular feeding, overlooking, and i'm
proper or spoiled food The digestive
functions must be kept at their highest
level Of efficiency. Food must be kept
or made as nearly as may be germ free.
Undoubtedly all bacteria are not vicious,
some are even benign. but there must be,
during the summer months, wholesale
destruction in order that none of the
especially pernieious ones or their pol
sonous products so often lurking in milk
during hot weather, shall escape into the
intestinal tract Of the infant there to set
up the acute infectious diarrhea common
ly known as cholera infantum-'
