into this next election mean to the
country much more than at any time
in the last forty years. X
Mr.. Wanamaker holds it to be the
duty of all business men under the
peculiar conditions that exist as we
approach the presidential election to
do any service that is open to them,
whereby they can exert any influence
to conserve the good order and pros
perity of our country. He adds:
We have come to time when the
welfare of the people is threatened by
strange doctrines, and when the pas
sions and prejudices Of the people are
being appealed to. l belong to the
class of business men of which there
are two millions engaged in business
life. Almost all of us have been
taught to2confne ourselves to our bust
fness and TO leave questions of politics
alone.
J Hardly state in the union has not
suffered from this lack OF interest and
effort, but also the people at large, who
! wrapped up in their own business, In
their own social life, permitted the
nominations and elections to; be left
wholly in the hands of the machine or
carnations.
l am not one of those who wish to
ignore organizations of every kind, but
| believe that this is time when the
people at large must stop to think and
think twice of the consequences to the
country if to the usual questions of the
tariff is added the struggle of those out
of Office to get into Office and of the
large number of seekers for Office who
have been disappointed and who feel
badly used. ....,. gs5 "
1t Is not difficult to inlame the multi
tudes in days when strikes are popular
and the high cost Of living is general.
We shall never promote the real
ends Of representative government by
causing one class of people to clash
with another class. The true gospel
of government is not in such preach
ing. 1t is the cry of the demagogue
whose paramount purposes are to
promote personal ends rather than the
good of all the people.
Closing his letter Mr. Wanamaker
says that Ito arouse people to ill-con-
sidered action in the midst of a presi-
Dental canvass, and especially by
those who are ambitious to- have places
under the government, will not cure
any Ills, but may aggravate them To
simply experiment with the sacred
rights of the people he holds to be a
crime. 1T is unthinkable," he adds,
"that any one can believe that the will
of the people does not have full express
sion if fairly guarded in their votes

clination along this line. Therefore
when such an authority as Dudley A.
Sargent, Harvard's physical culture
expert, speaks, he should be given an
audience by the fair sex, for Dudley
makes living out of physical culture,
while Lillian Russell and Lima Caveli-
era ct al, write physical culture stories
for the papers mostly as means OF
getting their own pictures In the
papers and showing other women how
beautiful they are. Now just listen a
minute to what Dudley Sargent says:
"Where a woman does her own
housework, with it's manifold varieties
of physical requirements, nearly every
muscle of the body may be brought IN
to action in the day. Nothing Is bet
ter for the development of the large
muscles of the thighs or for the re-
duction of fat about this region than
running up and down stairs,
"No better method can be devised
for strengthening the chest and
Strengthening the spine than in scrub
bing floors on the hands and knees,
especially if the left arm as we'll as
the right be used.
"Sweeping with long handled
broom, if the broom be used on botn
sides, so that both arms may be used
in the same way. furnishes an admir-
able means Of developing the chest
and shoulders.
eff a carpet sweeper is used instead
of a broom, the abdominal muscles as
well as the muscles of the back are
brought into action and the extensor
and flexor muscles of the arm are
much used. ..
working a lawn mower brings the
same group, Of muscles into still more
powerful action. sKneading bread is
a specific for q finely shaped forearm
and an hours work at the dashboard
is equal to similar efforts with the
chest weights as developer OF the
upper arms, back and shoulders"
Every woman may not feel like TAX
ing all the treatment Mr.. Sargent
recommends, but those who have to
20 through most of the list In their
daily duties about the home may
tighten their tasks by rejecting that
they are taking their physical culture
exercises ..n-a.r.'

GOOD WORK ON ROADS.

An Ottumwa man who went to
Omaha Saturday over the Burlington
road was gratifed to see what won
derful results had attended the good
roads campaign in southern Iowa. The
Blue Grass road parallels the Bur-
Ilington tracks much Of the distance
across the state and the road was seen
to show evidence Of intelligent work
ling. Automobiles and vehicles in large
numbers were out on the road, al
though this is not the usual thing at
this time of the year. Much of the
road gave evidence of being recently
dragged. In other places road drags
were then at work. The result was
road passable for automobiles the en-
tire distance between Ottumwa and
Council Bluffs.
Many of the roads crossing the tracks
afforded a striking contrast. They had
not been worked and were IN condl-
ton that would render them 1mpass-
able for automobiles. Their condition
showed a lack of the successful CO.
operation that made the Blue Grass
road possible. .. -.
The good that has resulted and Will
result from such highways as the Blue
Grass road cannot be overest1mated.
Travellers crossing the state cannot but
be deeply impressed by the object les
son of road extending the length OF
the state which is kept in fine condi-
ton for all kinds of traffic in the
spring msnths.
Iowa has gained in the estimation
of the travelling public and the people
who are privileged to use these river
to-river roads, but 1t has gained more
by the demonstration that the iowa
dirt roads can be permanently I'M
proved by intelligent effort, and gen
eral betterment of the country roads
throughout the state is certain to be
tho result

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

OF course, anything written under
this heading has reference to the fair
sex. Mere man, in most cases, Is so
engrossed in scrapping for biscuits
that he hasn't the time to worry over
his fatal beauty, even if he has the
inclination, and his facial map and
general architectural dimensions are
such as to warrant any pains to mould
them in more beautiful lines. But
with women it is different. They may
not have much more idle time than the
men, but they have much more in

there are more than few members OF

in legislation. Representative, Good
the Cedar Rapids progressive. is in
favor of a rule which shall prevent a
member or senator from voting on
matters in which he or his fam.
lily is personally interested other than
as citizens of the whole country. 1t
will be remembered that during the de,
bate on the army bill in the house a
few weeks ago he attacked Represen.
alive Ames Of Massachusetts, for his
personal interest in that bill and when
Ames replied for his personal interest
in the cotton bill which was passed
last summer. As result Mr.. Ames
and Mr.. Good are not on speaking

requests of various party men who did
not wish to see the party torn right
