Any woman who wishes 1.-THE and

Besides which any woman who can

TO KEEP YOUNG: Work off all the

Youth IS always energetic. Age is

The advantage of these Beauty

They are also cheap. They will make
any woman who tries them healthy

But will any lady try them? I trow
not. She would rather pay three dol

to bend over until she can touch the

I'll WILL xxye1 On the Influence OF Amer
AAAo - w 1ANUA lean Women In China

n VERY striking example OF the
- influence Of America ON Eastern
- lands occurred recently in Pekin,
Gilman incident to American wo-
men; a crisis and the beginning Of
new era for Chinese women OF position.
The chamber of commerce in Pekin
sent an official invitation to the
chambers of commerce of the Pacific
coast to visit the Orient A delega-
ton of representative men from the
Golden West accepted the invitation
and set forth to China, accompanied
by their wives. They were received in
Pekin with all the dignity and stately
courtesy which characterize that land.
One OF the honors shown the delega-
tion was the opening Of both the
summer and winter palaces to the in
spection of the visitors. Naturally, the
American men made their hosts under
stand that they expected TO escort the
women of the party through the pal
aces.
The Chinese hosts, knowing 1t was
the American custom for the wives OF
delegates to accompany them on such
excursions. accorded their consent.
And then occurred one of those sud
den events which breaks down tradi-
ton of ages in a few moments OF time.
Never in all the thousands OF years of
the existence Of the Chinese court had
any woman. no matter how high her
social position, been allowed to visit
the palace. Only women OF the royal
family, or relatives. wives or concu-
bines were permitted within its sacred
precincts. When any foreign woman
entered its door there was some reason
of state or some cause back of the
event which explained the occurrence.
The visit of the members of the
chamber Of commerce from California
had a distinct bearing on the finan-
cial interests Of China, for nowhere in
all the world is there another land so
eager to be on firm, cordial business
and political basis in its relation to
America as China
When 1t became known that the
Americans were to bring their wives
into the palaces one OF the titled Off
Gals who had been directing the mat
ter sent hurry call to other officials.
When they were assembled he laid
the matter before them
I'VE cannot allow these American
women to go back to their country,
he said. and say that we have permit
ted them a privilege which we refuse
to our own women. Our wives must
visit the palaces and receive our guests
with u.s."
And so this wonderful thing trans
pired in the autumn Of the year OF our ,
Lord 1910. that an old tyrannical and
senseless custom. insulting to the wo%
men Of China, was broken down, and
the worthy wives OF prominent men in
the great city of Pekin rose to some
thing near their rightful place in the
social scale. 1t is one more barrier
