OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
How the Corset Helps to Ward OFF
Consumption.

Professors Felix Hirschfeld and
Adolph Loewy, two distinguished Ger
man SCIENTISTS. have just made known
the results of their investigations in
to the effect of the corset on a wom-
ans health. They announce that as
a general principle the corset has a
decided use in the struggle against
consumption; that it helps. when in
telligently worn, to ward off tubercu-
losis.
The two scientists came to the con-
clusion that consumption that origin
ated in the lungs was both more fire.
quent and found more favorable
ground in those lungs which were
least used; or, to be more explicit.
not so much in the weaker lungs as
in those whose upper part was neg
.ected in favor OF stomachic respira-
ton. Breathing entirely with the
body below the diaphragm was preju-
dicial. Having compounded this the
ory. and having found much other ev-
idence to corroborate it, they then set
about to test the influence OF the cor
set in this respect. By means of the
apparatus for measuring lung capac-
ity and an X-ray observer for watch
ing the action OF the lungs, they were
able to gather a quantity OF facts.
From these facts they now conclude
that the use of the corset furthers the
use of the upper parts of the thorax,
and contends, therefore, against any
tendency that the lungs may have to
become delicate or susceptible to tu-
berculosis.
This, OF course, is not an out-and-
out defense of the corset. The ex-
merits are otitspokrp coure-pinu other
dangers it presents. The hindrance e
to circulation of the blood, an indirect
help to the progress of tuberculosis,
they vtry strongly condemn. If the
corset is to be defended for its use
in kccring down abnormal stomachic
breathing it is only when it is of rea-
sonable design, suitably cut, and not
too tightly laced.

~MoRE OR LESS ExrENT.v

We have seen the expression of op- position to some of the provisions in the tariff bill by the congressman from this state. but the general sentiment has been that of following the party call Each of the five has manifested some slight disapproval of particular features which concerned their dis trict or state but on the whole spir- it of approval is indicated. Industries in all sections of the state will be af- fected by the proposed revision of the tariff and what is true of this state will be true of all New England, while the other sections of the country like wise are going to feel the cut, if car ried out as it is proposed.
 Recognition of the harm which will be done in this state is admitted by Congressman Mahan of this district, although he considers it the best tariff bill ever, if he is quoted right, when he says: "XNe will get out and support this tariff measure in it's general form as being one of the best and faireSt tariff measures ever placed before congress of this country. Naturally we will look out for the interests of the manufactories in our districts to a more or less extent, but we will not try by any means to break down the tariff bill in it's entirety, because it is. as I said, the best bill that has ever been presented for the benefit of tie people of this country"
 It remains to be seen how much that looking after tour district to a more or less extent" will amount to. It is a well placed qualification. The congressman seems to have such fla vorable opinion of the bill that snau matters may become overskadOw

Strong efforts are being made in be- half of checking the pollution of the rivers and streams of the state and through the recognition of the condi- lions, the need of bettering them be- comes manifest The effect which such pollution has upon oyster beds is growing with the increased amount of injurious matter which is poured into the rivers, and it has also served to drive away the fish and otherwise operated to make rivers dangerous from the standpoint of health. General use is made of the rivers for sewage pl1r- poses wherever available until it is considered the natural method of con structing sewer systems, but with the constant additions to the sewage from all communities along the rivers the better This of course is a tendency is sought to improve.
 The overcoming of the pollution Of streams will involve a large expense to cities and factories, but it could hardly be expected to be entirely removed The effort in behalf of the bill before the general assembly at the present time will bring the state to a better realization of the need of checking this growing practice. If + can serve to bring about a check upon pollution so that it will decrease in stead of increase an appreciable start will have been made The attempt is being made none too early to bring about a proper realization of the sit nation before it is too late.

THE RAILROAD FiREMeN.

With the decision by the arbitration board concerning the demand of the railroad hremen for an increase in wages and a betterIaent of conditions, there has been another addition to the evidence in favor of the settlement of such disputes by means of arbitration While the decision does not forever settle the matter 1t does so far as the demands made are concerned. and it is In striking contrast to the loss of pay. the less of business and the embarrassment caused to business and the public, when a strike is reser+ed to- The decision is in the nature Of a compromise with the firemen getting, not all they want, but an advarce over their present pay and an improve ment in conditions. It means the set tiement of the affair after a thought fgI consideration of the facts rather than through trouble and violence
 This of course ends the matter for the present far as the firemen are concerned They will do their same work and get more pay for it, but 1t leaves the railroads in pOsiti1n where they must work out the neces- sary increase for the additional cost of operation, which additional cost do. g not mean increased efficiency or ia come The railroads therefore must increased business or by permissinrI of the interstate commerce commits sion to raise rates and get it from the public This is one phase of the Ques- ton which must be worked out

LEGISLATION AND EXPOSITION.

California at the present time IS standing in a peculiar position before the country seeking as it does the support of the many states for the success of the exposition in 1915 in honor of the opening of the Panama canal, and at the same time planning to enact legislation which will involve the country in 8 tangle with Japan They are directing their efforts against that nationality in particular instead of passing legislation which would operate against all foreigners, thus continuing the activity against the Japanese as an inferior race. Some sober second thought is likely to change the radical action which has been proposed but the real attitude of the people of the state is manifested
 The effect this will have upon the action of the states in participating in the exposition is likely to be taken as a sanctioning or a disapproval Of the states attitude in this matter. California is planning an extensive show spectacle, one on more preten- tieus lines than all predecessors. Tfis is indicated by the appeal for half million dollar building from the state of Massachusetts, for structure which at the best is only temporary. At this rate the ambition of the peo- ple of San Francisco and California would be realized in a handsome man ner. but it will be interesting to note the effect which the final action on the proposed allen land bill has in the matter. as well as the willingness of the state to listen to the countrys S appeal
