Cleveland. O., May 13.-Defense of
comic artists who depict scolding
wives and irascible mothers as thin
and "slab-sided" was made before the
Ohio Medical Convention by DR.. c.
w. MoOts OF Toledo.
The artists are telling the truth, ac-
cording to Dr. Moots. He said:
Every time l see one of these wo-
men coming into my office, with sharp
face and fat chest and inelastic mus
c!es, | am in doubt whether to feel
sorrier for the patient or for myself
There is something the matter inside
of them. They ought TO be operated
upon.
Women sleep too much upon Their
backs. Family physicians should ad
wise them to lie upon their sides. or,
better yet. upon their stomachs. This
would prevent internal disorders and
the consequent necessity OF sur
geon."

DICKINSON QUITS
TAFT'S CABINET
President Accepts Resignation
Of War Secretary.
BUSINESS HIS REASON
Henry |. stir,son. of New York,
Friend of Roosevelt and Progressive
Republican, to Succeed Him.

Wa5hfngtCn. May 13. - Jacob NJ.
Dickihson OF Tennessee, will be sue
cees! secretary OF war in the
New York,
The new secretary of war is an in
innate friend o. eX-President Roose-
welt and a progressive. He was de-
feated for governor of New York last
fall.
The announcement Of Mr.. Dickin-
sons resignation and the selection of
Mr. Stimson as his successor Tas
made at the White House. Mr.. Dick
inson's resignation will become effec-
tive Immediately upon the qualitica-
ton CT Mr. Stimson. The understand
ing is that Mr.. Stimson will take the
oath Of Office and enter upon his new
duties the latter part Of next week.
The president will confer with Mr..
Stimson in New York, when the exact
date of the change at the head OF the
war department viii ne determined.
The resignation OF Secretary Dickin-
son marks the second break in the
Taft cabinet. Richard A. Ballinger
handed in his resignation as secretary
OF the interior on April and was suc-
ceeded a week later by Walter L.
Fisher, OF Illinois.
Secretary Dickinson gives business
reasons as his motive for retiring from
the cabinet. While there have been
reports from time to time in the past
year that Mr.. Dickinson contemplated
returning TO private life, the official
announcement Of his resignation came
as a surprise to official and political
Washington.
Mr.. Stimsons nomination will give
New York two places in the cabinet,
George W. Wickersham, OF that state,
now holding the Office OF attorney gen
eral
The official correspondence given
out at the White House shows that
Secretary Dickinson presented his let
ter o. resignation to the president on
April 2S. The president accepted the
resignation on May s, Mr.. Taft having
arranged in the meantime for the ap-
point nent of Mr.. Stimson.
1t was explained in behalf of Mr..
Dickinson that most of his private
fortune is invested N coal company
in Tennessee. The company was re
cently- placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver In order to protect his interest
Mr. Dickinson decided to resign. 1t is
his purpose to return to his home in
Tennessee.

5O-CENT REDUCTION
 MADE ON LAKE ORES
Prices, According to Sales,
 Is Feature
MILLS ARE REDUCING
Steel Corporation Percentage of Ac- tive Furnaces Is Reduced and Expected to Go Lower.
 Pig Iron Slow

New York, April 6.-(Speeial.) )-The Iron Age will say tomorrow:
 A Pittsburg ore company has sold from it's Mesaba mines 2o0,OO0 tons of Bessemer and 55O.O09 tons of n-Bessemer ores on a S4. .256t$S 50 basis, respectively, or re- duction of 90 cents a ton from last years prices Cleveland firms have sold sev- eral blocks of ore at the same reduction.
 Naturally the merchant furnaces will be slow to buy Some of them have ore enough to carry them into the fall. Pur- chases thus far have been chiefly for steel companies.
 In the east considerable sales of Lake Champlain ores have already been made at 25c to 35c less than in 1910
 Temporarily pig iron buying, which has been growing less, may be put off to let the situation develop.
 The steel corporations percentage of active furnaces has declined from 70 to G.
 Finishing mills in most lines are oper- ating on reduced schedules, the output of the past week being the smallest in two months.
 With the falling off of new business re- ports of irreguarity in prices are more frequent, but these affect only a small proportion of the total. Export trade is quieter. The Steel corporations state ment of earnings shows that an important percentage of its business in the first quarter was based on export prices
