LET A PHYSICIAN
FIT YOUR CORSET"
BY DR.. FRANKLIN n. MARTIN.
Noted Medical College Lecturer)

I'll
Civilized women always have worn
corsets and they always will
Corsets should be designed by
physicians. They need only 10 be
made properly 10 produce a race OF
classically beautiful women.
The present fashion is encouraging.
The straight front which depresses
the abdomen, and the upright lines OF
the waist are good The points to be
remembered are that physician
should order the corset, and that the
adjustment should be in front and
not behind The body Is solid and
bony behind. That Is where the rig
idity should be. The front OF the
corset should be so adaptable that ii
can be laced up any day the way 1t
feels comfortable.
The back OF the corset must be
nodded rigidly.
The corset must lace up in front.
The front lacing should be planned
for fexibility and ready adjustment
TO the wearer's figure.
Measurements for the corset should
be made by q physician.
A stout woman should have cor
act that will distribute her flesh. re-
duce her hips, fatten her abdomen,
and support her. A slight woman
should have a corset that will pre-
vent displacement OF the stomach.
Her figure will become rounded by a
proper gain In flesh IL the digestive
organs are not hampered by an I'M
proper corset, and IL proper diet Is
selected for her.
The harmful corset Is the one that
disproportionately narrows the waist
and fails to support the body. Such
corset will occasion serious diges-
tive symptoms. and II persisted in.
will produce appendicitis. serious dis.
eases OF the stomach. and finally semi.

On the other hand. scientifically
fitted corset is boon TO many WON

| the necessary assistance that enables
! them TO be transformed from unhappy
apparitiuns and hypochondriacs with.

Now the question is whether King
George will become Free Mason. as
his father was before him-his grand
father too, we believe. He is not even
yet an Entered Apprentice. The sue-
gestion opens way to solution of the
anti-CathOlic oath question. He could
please his Catholic subjects by refusing
to take the oath of remuneration and at
the same time assure the Professionals
that he is not a Jesuit emissary in dis
guise by becoming a Free Mason.
BY the way, it would be worth going
long distance to see a king initiated.
especially in lodge with plain citi-
zen as Worshipful Master. He might
get some notions of the equality and

present and did not serve as Judge and
upon this statement the case against
him was dismissed.
We have seen no word of editorial
condemnation in the Democratic news
papers against this very grave political
crime. Mr.. Green had represented
Fauquier county for several terms in
the Virginia House of Delegates, but in
some way he gave offense to the Ma
chine, and the order went forth for his
defeat. The men who stole the election
from him have pleaded guilty and have
each been fined 500. If this is the
measure of punishment melted out by
Democratic justices to Democratic
judges of election when they steal from
Democrats, it is more than possible that
the same fellows would receive a re-
ward of 800 if they should steal an
election from Republican.
1t is hardly possible to reform or re-
generate the present generation of the
Virginia Democracy, especially that
part of it which has control of the cleo
ton machinery and that is directed by
the office-holder' trust.

Severe Blow TO Convict Labor,

Congressman Austin, one of the two
Republican representatives in Congress
from Tennessee, has introduced d bill in
the House of Representatives which
prohibits railroads from carrying inter
state commerce articles made by con-
vict labor. Representative Austin is
pushing his bill with all possible vipor
and in statement given to the press on
last Friday he expressed the opinion
that the bill would certainly pass Con-
gress at this session and become a law
at an early day.
The passage of this law would be far
reaching in its effect, and would most
likely put an end to the contract which
Virginia now has with the Davis Boot
and Shoe Company, whereby the State
leases its convicts to this concern who
utilize them in the manufacture of boots
and shoes.

SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE OPERATOR,

The exuberant Roanoke Times, the
chosen champion of Mr.. Stuart's candi-
dacy, is hard pushed for something to
say in behalf of its candidate. Our
contemporary is now deeply impressed
with the dearth of farmers in Congress.
The Times says:
Farmers are scarce in the House.
There are but 16 of them among the
S98 members. Mr.. Slemp is classed
officially as a real estate operator"
Why, bless your soul, exhuberant
friend, Bascom was raised on a farm
that was cleared from the forests bv
his ancestors, and that same farm has
been titled by the Slemps for hundred
years. Bascom and his brother still
own and operate the farm, and we bet
you that Bascom has performed ten
times as much manual labor on the
farm as has your Mr.. Stuart.
But Mr.. Slemp is classed only as q
real estate operator. Sheer not at that
noble occupation, for in it your candi-
date has been q most successful opera.
tor. In his earlier life, by successful
operations, he acquired a magnificent
landed estate worth a million of dollars.
and has made big money operating in
mineral and timber lands. If Mr..
Stuart be truly classed, you will write
him down real estate operator"

MAY COST VIRGINIA MUCH.
Appeal Is Allowed by Supreme Court in Fa-
nous War Claim Litigation.

The Virginia Supreme Court of An
peals on last Thursday allowed an an.
peal In the famous case of George B
Stone, administrator of Bernard p.
Green and Frank ID. Wynn, admins
traitor OF John A. Parker VS.. Morton
Marye, First Auditor of the State.
This litigation, which came nm on an
appeal from a decree entered bv the
circuit court of the city of Richmond ON
July "a, 1909, involves claim for S172
800. 70 with interest from April, 1903.
Ihe case harks back to the War of
1872, when Virginia advanced the Fed
eral Government considerable sum of
money. Uncle Sam was slow in paving
up and finally Thomas Green and John
A. Parker were employed to lobby
through Congress a bill reimburslng
this Commonwealth.
Such a measure was finally passed.
but the United States Government. on
the other hand, put in counter claims
against Virginia.
When the accounts were struck if was
found that Virginia had less than $40
coming to her. The representatives of
Green and Parker nevertheless put in a
claim for their ten per cent commission
which the Old Dominion Legislature
promised to allow them in case the mon
ey was collected.
In other words, they claimed ten per
cent of $1,72S, 5S2. 6S. the sum Uncle
Sam would have handed over to this
commonwealth had he not pulled out
some bills of his own.
This litigation has been dragging
along for several years, and Thursdays
action of the Supreme Court indicates
that Virginia still stands good chance
OF having to pay the claim of Green's
and Parker's representatives.

Actual Operation Of Tariff Shows Reduction
on Necessities, SAYS Taft,

From an interview with the President
In the June McClure's.
The chief interest of the public in a
tariff Is as to whether it raises or low
ers the cost of the necessities of life.
For this reason, the most valid way of
passing judgment on a tariff is to take
the country's total consumption of the
necessities of life on which its schedules
lower rates, and compare it with the
total consumption of the necessities I'D
on which they raise rates. When the
iuxuries-such as liquor, perfumeries.
and silks-are subtracted the necessi-
ties OF life, upon which rates are lower
ed In this Payne bill, are consumed bv
this country to the extent of ST. OOO. :
OOO, 600 year; while those upon which
the rates are raised have a copsumption
of only about 500, 900, OOO-about one
eighteenth of SIS, 900, 900, 900.
1t Is not necessary, however. to relv
upon this calculation alone. The actuaI
operation of the tariff is showing clearly
that the tariff was a revision downward.
According to figures compiled by the
Federal Bureau of Statistics, the aver
age rate of duty paid on all imports dur
ing the first six months under the Pavne
law was IL per cent lower than in the
corresponding months of the four pre-
Vious years years under the Dinplev
law; while the proportion of gross i'm
ports that came in on the free list in
creased just about the same per cent.

THE HABIT IS FIXED,

We read in Holy Writ that the leop
ard cannot change his spots nor the
Ethiopian the color of his skin. Anc
as the spots of the leopard and the colo,
OF the Ethiopian's skin have been fixed
by natural laws, SO, it seems, has i,
become the disposition of the Virpinis
democracy to cheat in elections. Fo,
period of twenty years previous to
the making of the new constitution
election officers and party workers were
taught by the Democratic leaders and
newspapers to believe that it was not
only right but a civic virtue to steal
from the Republicans. The pretext
for making the new constitution was to
effect reformation on these lines. But
the habit had become so fixed that q
thorough reformation was impossible.
The necessity for cheating Republicans
having been removed, the Democrats
began to steal from each other. This
habit has been developed more LARGELY
In the Democratic primaries than the
public have been allowed to know. In
the primary last year many believe.
and justly SO, that Mr.. Tucker was
cheated out of the nomination for Gov
ernor; and everybody knows that ].
Thompson Brown was robbed of the
nomination for Commissioner of A0ri-
culture. But it has been the policy
OF the Democratic organization to con-
ceal and suppress the frauds that Dem
ocrats practice against each other: and
the Democratic press, by failure to in
vestigate and expose, has materially
contributed to the fraudulent practices.
occasionally, however, the thieves are
exposed. and we find recent instance
from the following which appeared in a |
nconsplcuous position in the Richmond
Times Dispatch:
Warrenton, Va, May 2O-The indict- +,
nent of the judges of election at Fiery
Run Precinct, in this county, by the
grand jury at the March term past was
