Co.'S, said: II do not agree with
the opinion OF the Chicago corset
women. All exercise. such as
bending, STOPPING and turning,
which you must do in these
dances, and particularly the
tango, make the body more slen-
der. Dancing tends to take off
all surplus flesh. Look at all the
best dancers. Look. too. at our
best corset customers. They are
girls who take exercise, riding,
golfing and that sort of thing,
and they have beautiful, supple
figures. Dancing is even better
than the other forms of exercise

ercise will do away with fat and

at all. / can't understand how
any one could think So The
tango, particularly, is so siren

Mrs. Ella Hoffman, head of the
corset department of J. Magnin

is very true. Dancing is violent

the recommendation of the city en-

How could they say it?" are
some Of the comments made here,

Etrators agree that no form Of

From a dancer of the smart
set" noted for her grace in the
modern. and for dancing of all
types, for that matter. comes the
verdict that it is nonsense and
that IL would be impossible for
any one to gain flesh from the
strenuous forms of dancing.
In the Chicago telegram the
"debutante slouch" was classified
as a figure destroyer. and of this
the above quoted dancer said:
"As for the SLOUGH. that is sim

CORSET AUTHORITY SPEAKS
An authority on corsets in one
Of the largest department stores
said today:
Dancing makes the figure more
supple and keeps IL more perfect
than any other form of exercise.
From my own personal expert
ence. both in dancing and selling
corsets. I know that the hips are
materially reduced by dancing.
Women were never so thin as
now"
Other opinions are as follows:
Mrs. Douglas Crane. expert ex-
ponent of dancing. said: "It is
joke; simply nonsense. / am will
ing to go to these demonstrators
and let them see how many rolls
of fat" there are on me. I am just
as thin as / can be. 1t would be
impossible for their statements To
be true. Every one realizes that
dancing converts the superfuous
tissue into solid flesh and muscles,
which precludes the existence Of
any fat. IT could not spoil a fig
ure. I think. really. it is a joke
Mrs. COleridge Ertz, whose dan
cling is notable, says: II think
that is very, very funny. 1 am so
thin. Why, I was never so thin in
my life as l am now, when / am
dancing so much. Where did such
an DpfuiOu come FROM
They certainly can't dance the
tango very well in Chicago II II
makes them fat. Why, for two
days after you take your first
tango lesson you are so stiff you
can hardly move, and that proves
that il affects the muscles
Every one knows that fat can
not come where the muscles are
being developed I find that dan
cling makes me thinner and harder
all the time Ii seems to me that
the Chicago statement is perfectly
absurd"
Mrs. SyIvanus Farnham, another
of the society worlds best dam
GERS. says: Il am thinner than I
have ever been since I do so much
dancing. ] think I am about TO
become a living skeleton.
II find that you hold yourself
up 50 well-for there is no posi-
bility of permitting yourself to
slouch when you dance great
deal-that you get long and lean.
Il can speak for my personal
experience in the matter am
dancing sll the time, and other
girls who dance say. too. that you
lose pounds. / don't care what
they say in Chicago; don't be-

CAPT. HANNUM HURT
WHILE PICKING APPLES

Capt. j. II. Hannum is confined 10

shifting Of the ladder and injured his
back. besides receiving other bruises
of more or less painful character.

company happened TO be driving along
the street a few minutes after the af-
fair occurred and saw Capt. Hannum
struggling to rise to his feet and ran
to his assistance. The unfortunate
man was carried into the house and
a physician summoned TO his bedside
to administer restoratives. II was
found that no bones were broken. bur
that he was suffering from n severe
shock and several ugly looking con-
tusions about his body. Capt. Han
mum. who is eighty-nine years OF age

Colorado Springs telegraph;
Coal OF various kinds was advanced
in price In Denver yesterday from 80
cents to 81 per ton. The reason Civ
en- was as follows by the vice presi-
dent OF the Rocky Mountain Fuel
company;
The reason Is simple. II is cost
ing US more to maintain conditions In
our southern coal properties because
the strike is making 1t more expen-
sise to mine the coal"
In other words. the people are to be
asked to pay the cost OF fighting a
strike. They are to pay for the
guards and the stockades and all the
other expenses OF present conditions.

The Public Pays the Freight

Il seems to us that II the people
are going to pay the freight then
The people have the right to say that
this strike shall be settled at once
Certainly the Increased pay which the
miners ask would not cost the oper-
ators any more than the cost OF main
tanning the strike.
The attitude OF the operators seems
to be: We will fight the strikers. in
our own time and our own way. but
you must pay the bill" II this is the
case. then the public unquestionabiy
has the right TO insist that the strike
be ended ate They are not going
to pay the bills and be short of coal
at the same time.

A LITTLE FOR SALE AD
SELLS A BIG HOUSE

Ralph ]. wann OF Pueblo was n
Canon City Monday closing a deal by
which he sold to Mr.. d. A. Iamoreux
the Tong property at lo7 Greenwood
avenue. The price paid was si.sor.
Mr. wann called at The Daily Rec
ord Office To say that a-iittie Record
For Sale Ad did the business. and
that he was very much pleased Nth
his success with the little ad.
This little For Sale ad cost Mr
wann exactly sa.So and II made a
81. 800 sale for him. He said that he
would just as cheerfully paid a hun
dred dollars for the ad II IL had run
up to that and then made the sale.
Some weeks ago Mr. wann and his
wife. who was Miss Hazel Tong. de-
cided to sell this property and buy a
home In Pueblo. They sent up the lit
tie For Sale ad. II ran Just four
weeks. Then the sale was made.
The Record knows that these ads
do the business some times. Every
nd wont sell n place these days, but
some ad Is selling some place quite
often. People who have places for
sale should list them with n real es-
tate dealer who will advertise the
place. It your real estate man will
not advertise It advertise 1t yourself.
The Record Want Ads on the aver
age prove about as good investments
as you can find any where.
Mr.. wann is connected with the
Pueblo star-Journai and knows the
value of advertising better than many
people. He says he has sold several
pieces of Pueblo property and always
through a little For Sale Ad.
