WOMEN SEEK HEALTH

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-"Greater re-
gard for her health is gradually chang
ing womans fashions" said DR. Rich
ard R Smith, widely known as an
authority on the human figure. when
woman ceases TO follow the prevail
ing fashion and adopts fashion suited
10 her peculiar figure. then we shall
have reached an ideal state. Woman
has entered upon such an evolution
now, because she is beginning to seek
perfect health, and the splendid type
Of beauty that only perfect health can
give.
DIR. Smith optimistically declared that
women. in giving greater consideration
to matters of health We're rising to-
ward zenith of the most perfect race
of women the world has known.
In mis- medical work, wherein he has
persistently advocated stronger
wOmanhood, a vigorous type as opposed
to the frail, slim wasted creature Of
the past century, DR.. Smith has, in
treating a large number Of women,
taken the measurements and made
X-ray examinations of more than 400.
ITO be sure, the early Greek women
fashions showed q variety of styles,
but the soft lines and the loose flowing
robes and graceful draperies were much
the same" said he. Some show high
waist line, while in others the waist line
was longer and lower according to the
woman's figure.
Il am sure the early Greek women
put health before fashion. When our
American women follow this example
which they are beginning to do, we
shall have a superior race.
Slaves of Fashion Cited
Women have followed fashion al
most religiously IF the prevailing
style calls for small waist and slender
figure, both fat and slim women try TO
meet it, regardless OF the injury to
| their health and general appearance.
Il am not 50 sure but that there were
just as many frail women among the
ancient Greeks as we have today. We
nus DeMilo IS an idealized type. We
have scores Of American women who
have nearly perfect figures. A perfect
human being never existed, l believe,
and never viii, to my mind.
AS opposed to the passing type, the
small wasted, scrawny, sharp angled,
| frail narrow chested and nervous
woman, at the bottom of the physical
ladder, We have the rapidly increasing
number Of splendid deep chested Wig
orous women at the top of the ladder"
DR.. Smith said he would advice wom-
en- who wish to improve their health to
| quit health fads.

its. habits in keeping as far as possible

INSURANCE LAW
IS UPHELD BY
FIELDER
Constitutional, Says Attorney
General to Governor Brown,
Who Will Sign Warrants.

Attorney General Thomas S. Fielder
has rendered an opinion to Governor
Brown UNFOLDING the constitutionality
of the new insurance law in both points
cited to his attention by the governor.
The governor will accept the opinion
Of the attorney general and sign the
warrants for salaries and expenses OF
the department, which have been held
up for more than thirty days, await
ing the official opinion of the states
legal advisor
The constitutionality Of the new law
must now be attacked in the courts if
anywhere, as the insurance depart
ment will proceed upon the theory that
the law Is all right fundamentally.
Two Points Disputed.
The constitutionality of the new law
bad been questioned before the GOV
ernOr on two points-first that it VIC
lated the section of the constitution
limiting to $4,000 the expenses Of the
department, and that it violated an
other section in permitting fees to Ger
tain officers effected.
Attorney General Fielder holds that
in neither particular is the new law
yiolative of the constitution.
This decision will relieve the insur-
ance department of great embarrass-
ment in the matter of operating the new
department, and all past due salaries
will now be paid up at once.
Governor Brown is greatly pleased
that the attorney general has found the
new law to be organicaIly sound.

with your mode Of life, and follow these
in rational way said DR.. Smith
Chasing health fads is misdirected en-
ergy, and is usually fruitless, If nor
often injurious. Women who folIo,,
some particular health fad are likely to
become abnormal.
Work is a great influence in max
ing the beautiful and healthy woman
An idle woman gets no healthy exer-
ure. Every woman should have some
kind of work.
Exercise in Open Urqed.
Exercise in the open is most iinpor-
tant to health. The farmers wife ig
beginning to realize an ideal state of
existence. To have good health and
retain good looks, a woman should get
at least eight to nine hours of sleep.
IF she is able to take a nap late in
the afternoon, if only for few min
utes, so much the better. She should
have sufficient amount of outdoor
recreation or outdoor exercise every
day-at least couple of hours-and if
she has not strong digestion She
should forego afternoon teas.
For people in moderate circum-
stances who lead normal lives the city
is not injurious to health"
Referring to women Of 50 who have
reared families and represent beauty
Of face and figure at this age. DR..
Smith said:
"A woman of 90 who has developed
character by unselfsh devotion to her
family and who finds life good because
OF this is far more beautiful tan the
unmarried woman at so, who has not
had this same experience"

Jail for Ria Habx.

Elizabeth, N. Your honor, papa
slaps me all the time, and 1t hurts,
too. 1 wan you to send him to jail
These words, spoken in a plaintive
voice by little James Kelley, Jr., of
1886 Magnolia avenue, to Judge Mahon
in police court, brought tears to many
eyes. Kelley is only so and 6 feet
tall, and his father is 80 years older.
The aged man told a different story.
Judge" he said, 81 used to think
Jimmy was only mischievous, but l
am beginning to be convinced that he
is incorrigible. He goes out every
night and stays until 9 or 10 O'Clock,
and, for all 1 know, may be in bad COM
pany. Then when 1 try to show him
the error of his ways he knocks me
down"
"The case is evidently M for the
Juvenile court said Judge Mahon to
the bad boy; "but I'll take a chance in
disposing OF it myself. Six months in
the workhouse."

St. Patrick's Birthplace.

Almost as many countries claim the
honor of being the natal soil of St
Patrick as of Homer. Scotland, Eng.
land, France, Wales, Cornwall and
Brittany all arrogate to themselves
the privilege of pointing out the
saints birthplace. Half a dozen dates
are given as that on which he was
born, but all unite in fixing upon the
18th of March as the date Of his
death, which to a saint is the true
birthday, as he is then born into the
higher life. The years Of life allotted
to him by the different dates vary
from IS to 120, but after the lapse OF
fifteen centuries it is enough to know
that st. Patrick was a historic char
acter, who lived in the latter part OF
the fourth century and the earlier
part Of the fifth; that he lived to a
green old age, and that until the end
he was a man of gentle deeds and
broad charity.

sence of roads, and the scanty nature
of the pasturage found on the o
tain sides. 1t would be impossible to
drive the flocks from place to place,
unless dogs were employed, and there
are no sheep dogs in eastern coun-
tries. Hence the shepherd goes on in
front, the sheep following, behind, a
shepherd boy as a rule bringing up
the rear. This is the shepherds prin-
cipal duty, to guide his sheep and
find ~pasturage for them.
Then another remarkable trait
about these men is that they know
their sheep and can instantly pick
them out from strangers. At Beth
lehem once, l witnessed a cry strik-
ing demonstration of this. Three
shepherds met, and their focks, to-
falling some 160 sheep, were soon
hopelessly mixed up together. 1t re-
quired but a few minutes to drive the
sheep into a fold, and in a remarkably
short space of time the shepherds
pointed out correctly the members of
their respective flocks.
Then the shepherds of this inter-
esting land are men of arms. In the
southern districts of Palestine and
also in the Lebanon country they all
carry firearms, and those around Jeru-
salem and in the neighborhood of
Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee, and in
other parts of the country carry
weapons in the shape of heavy wood
en- clubs or sings, the latter as print
tive as that used by David when he
tended his fathers focks. The guns
are invariably oldfashioned fintlock
muskets or some other obsolete type
of firearm. With these weapons the
shepherd protects his flock from wild
beasts-leopards, panthers and
wolves. But his worst enemy is not
the wild animals of the country. but
the rowing Bedouins. The latter are
always making raids and carry off
sheep, with the result that even today
many a good shepherd is called Upon
to lay down his life for the sheep.

HOLY LAND SHEEP
Shepherds Still Retain Their
Ancient Characters.
Men of This Interesting Land Carry
Primitive Weapons to Protect
Flocks From Raids by Be-
douins and Animals.

Jerusalem.-There are few more
picturesque sights in the Holy Land
than the shepherd and his flock of
GU the other, says a writer in Coun-
try Life in America. They live en-
tirely with their flocks.
Their business is not only an hon.
orable calling, but it is one of per-
petual difficulty and danger. Shep-
herds in the east are men of war;
also they are men of some initiative
and practical intelligence.
They, of course, belong to the n a
tive population, which may be divid-
ed into three groups, the t~ownspeople,
or mcdaniel; the peasants, or dwell
ers in villages, called the fellaheen.
and the nomads, who live in tents
and spend their lives roaming, called
the Bedouins.
The shepherds, therefore, come I'M
der the head Of peasants, or fella
heen, but nevertheless, they are vir-
tually a race apart. Unlike the other
native tribes, they have maintained
their ancient character intact. They
attended to the wants of their sheep
and led them from pasture to pasture
among the hills and valleys long be-
fore the coming of the Children OF
Israel.
The sheep themselves are distinctly
of the Syrian breed and famed for
their fat tails. Much has been made
of the fact that the shepherds Of Pal
estine lead their sheep. This custom
has arisen, of course, through the alb

CELTIC sTRAINElN AMERICA
It's lntermingIing With That Of Other
Races Has Made This Nation
Strong and Great.

1t would take a volume, and a large
one, to set forth the whole Of the
debt which America owes to men of
Celtic blood. There is a sentimental
effort on foot by men of this race to
the various branches of the
Celtic language and to perpetuate in
its purity to future ages the Celtic
blood. The sentiment is admirable.
The Celts, and particularly Irishmen,
have been noted for their ardent
patriotism. No people ever loved
their native sod with such a tender
ness of devotion as the people Of this
green isle. But the Celtic race is
not sufficiently differentiated from
the Latin and from the Teutonic to
make perpetual segregation possible.
For 1000 years the amalgamation of
these European races has been going
until in a complete mingling of the
various strains will arise one con-
glomerate people of various strains
of the highest type Of humanity that
the world has eve known. The city
of Boston is more Irish than Yankee,
and the intermingling of the blood of
men like Patrick Collins with that
of the descendants Of John Alden and
Cotton Mather is just what gives US
the men Of whom we are proud. The
influence of this Celtic race, the pio-
neer Of all Europe, in it's mingling
with the other strains Of white blood
in the American people, is of more
value than the conservation of the
Erse sept in Connemara or Tyrone.

ed ace among whom he labored, not
simply into Christians, but into mis-.

he was first to introduce writing; but
certain it is that until then the rage

that sprang, with mushroom growth,

eagerly imbibed all the world then
