Push Out the Chest.

Look at your figure IN the next full
length mirror you see, says the Won
ans World. Nine chances out Of ten
your chest curves in. your shoulders
round like bow, your stomach pro-
trudes, and your chin is thrust for
ward like prizenghter's. Now make
an experiment. Take long breath,
push your chest out and hold It TO that
position. Behold miracle Your
shoulders straighten till your back Is
like line, your stomach retreats, and
your chin assumes a position OF mod
est dignity. Now you are standing
correctly, and II you place any value at
all upon good appearance you must
practice this position until 1t becomes
second nature. Remember that the
grand secret is, Push out the chest"
The rest Of the figure will take care
of itself.

They Grow Twenty Feet High and Are
Armed With Great Thorns.

Armed With Great Thorns.
Throughout the older parts of Next
co, Texas and New Mexico many of
the fences around the corrals and of.
ten the gardens are made OF "ocatilla."
This is cactus-like plant growing in
stalk form and often reaching n
height OF twenty or twenty-five feet
Ii is completely covered with long
stout thorns.
The stalk is tough, hard to cut, al
most impossible TO break, and, grow
ing TO the height II does, ii makes an
effective protection. 1t is planted usu-
ally in three or four alternate rows
and is held together by buckskln
strings or with strong wire. 1t needs
but little water.
believe this ocatilla fence would be
found very satisfactory to use on
country estates, and even the owner
OF modest plot of ground would find
sc n good thing. 1t prevents stock
from breaking in, effectively keeps at
n distance all marauders and when in
! loom is beautiful sight, for at the
zip of the stalk there comes early in
GUNNER cluster OF deep crimson, ball
5 haped blossoms. remember once
the astonished. almost Mortified. ex-
preston of an eastern woman to whom
] mentioned the beauty of the corral
fence when in bloom.-C Country Life In

TOO MANY INQUIRIES.

Now that House committee Ia,
found that the United States Stee
corporation Is a trust the inquiry is
pertinent as to what Il is going to- DC
about il. AS matter OF fact the In
vestigation has disclosed little or moth
ing that was not already pretty gem
orally understood. The report made
recently probably win be added to the
many that Congress apparently does
not know what TO do with.
Inquiring as to whether this contin-
ual undertaking il worth while. The
Cleveland Leader says:
"A prominent Democrat in the lower
house Of Congress says ne is sick OF
investigations So. undoubtedly are
most OF his fellow congressman. SO,
beyond question, is the public.
Congress began its special session
while the undertaking fever ragged. ri
appointed committees 10 investigate
many things connected with the fed
eral government and the business and
industry Of the country. Practically
none of these committees has discov-
cred anything to make its work worth
while. Some Of them have inflicted
damage on the Democratic party. Now
that their reports are beginning to
come in the Democratic congressman
DO not know what TO do with them.
Meanwhile matters of vital conse-
quence await action. Congress has re-
ports before it from the tariff board,
the economy commission. the railroad
securities commission, the interstate
commerce commission and others equal
~ important The monetary problem
awaits solution. The country expects
that Congress win dispose Of all these
questions. But intelligent disposal Of
them calls for thorough knowledge
Of the subjects and statesmanlike wis
dom and breadth of mind.
Congress must soon enact legisla-
tion OF real benefit to the country on
these lines or stand discredited. The
time has passed when the people were
satisfied with denunciation Of the
monGr devil, the 'robber barons of
rade and industry and corrupt politi-
cal bossism. They now demand con-
structive action" |,
What viii be the end? That is
natural inquiry from all whose living
depends upon business and industry
one trouble is that Congress is at
too much Scarcely a day q
goes by that some new investigation is
not ordered. With a reckless disre-
gard for their time and the peoples :
money these representatives start in {
luiries that lead to nowhere. From $
money trust to moving pictures, from !
TO everything, from army +,
scandals to anything, these lawmakers G
re intent upon prosecuting federal 7
Inquiries, partly for political effect a
md partly because the lust for muck
'aking is upon them.

PORK AS FOOD.
sesndinavians Believe Il Is Eaten Even
In Heaven.

scsndinavians Believe Il Is Eaten Even
In Heaven.
In the sacred books OF the Scandi-
navians pork is represented as the
principal food even in heaven. Ii was
the chief food OF the Irish in the
twelfth century and also of the Anglo
Saxons ut an earlier period.
In France it was equally common,
and Charlemagne kept In his forests
immense droves of pigs. Late in the
sixteenth century there was a particu-
lar disease said TO be caused by the
quantity Of pork eaten in Hungary.
and even at present the barbarous
Lettes are passionately fond OF it, In
the middle of the sixteenth century
Phillip III. when In England generally
dined on bacon. OF which he ate SO
much as frequently to make himself
very III.
BY singular contradiction the Afri-
can Mohammedans now believe that
great enmity exists between hogs
and Christians" tMungo Park. Many
medical authors have supposed that
pork is particularly unwholesome in
hot countries, but this requires conlr-
nation. and It is certain that 1t Is rec.
commended by Arabian physicians and
Is more generally eaten both In Asia
and Africa than is usually believed.
