to the growth of the former.
Town Substantially Built.
Meridian is substantially built
spreads over level stretch of ground
and has the best of highways leading
TO and from it, Like many of the
southern Idaho cities its main business
street faces the Oregon Short Line. but
the town is built on both sides of the
track Of that railway. Small farm
tracts surround the immediate vicinity
of the residential portion but these en-
large by proportion the farther they
are located from the town.
Governed by capable village board
Meridian can lay most Of its recent
progress to the men who have had
control of its municipal affairs. The

1912 Big Year.
The past year has been the biggest
in the history of Meridian, thanks for
which is unquestionably due to the en-
terprising citizens who voted bonds for
a new school house, Improvements on
the streets, to an active town board and
school board and to the management
of the Idaho Traction company which
has given recognition to the town by
placing II on the main lire ~ its elcc
trio road. Manager II. r. DicSe, who
realized the commercial Importance of
Meridian. is held largely responsible
for this change.
The waterworks plant of the city
was also completed last year al q cost
of $4,000, while it is estimated that
$4,000 was spent on street IMPROVE
ments, including the installation ~
cement crossings. Cement sidewalks

Meridian shipped 1870 cars of fresh
prunes and 10 ears Of fancy apples

was consumed in various ways the

While thousands of dollars were paid
out this year for fruit picking and

HOBBIES WRECK
NERVES, SAYS
DR.. NJ RAE
Noted Atlanta Physician Calls
light Skirts an Abomination.
'InSanitary and Immodest.'

Women who wear the extremely
tight skirt decreed by modern fash
ion are treading the road that leads
to nervous prostratfon, according to
DR.. Floyd McRae, one of Atlanta's
most noted physicians. In this opin-
ion DR.. McRae takes direct issue with
prominent members of the Chicago
Medical Society, who recently de-
clAred the tight skirt hygienic, arts
tic and comfortable.
Women who wear the tight skirt
that Is, one so tight It does not al
low perfect freedom Of the lower
limbs" said DR.. McRae Tuesday
morning. "are constantly under a
strain which eventually will bring
about nervous prostration- This con-
dition is due to the fact that the mus
cles are cramped and do not get that
perfect freedom which Is necessary in
walking. Some muscles are override
veloped and others are not deVei-
oped sufficiently to do their share OF
the work of walking.
The tight skirt has not been in
vogue long enough for the effects of
this to show in tho women as a
whole, but If II is not abandoned the
time undoubtedly win come when
women virtually Will be nervous
wrecks.
Hobbies an Abomination.
The tight skirt is an abomination,
and one of the worst things women
have taken to in years. II is i'm
modest and unhygienic, and It Is a
source OF continual danger to the
wearer. With their freedom OF move
ment restricted, they face danger
every time they appear on the streets
in a tight skirt.
"A woman wearing a tight skirt is
in danger of spraining her ankle
every time she gets on a street car
OF in an automobile, and many Of
the minor accidents sustained by
women nowadays are due to the tight
skirt and the restricted, hobbling
walk which II necessitates."
DR.. McRae declared the old style OF
wide, flowing skirt which touched
the ground was as bad as the modern
skirt
Old Styles as Bad.
The kind of skirt that every wom-
an should wear" he said, should be
wide enough to permit OF perfect
freedom in walking, and it should not
touch the ground at any point. The
old style skirts, plated and flowing,
picked up enormous quantities of
germs in the streets and carried them
into the home, which the sensible
skirt would not do"
The opinion that the tight skirt is
hygienic and the right thing for wom-
en- was expressed by Is doctors in
Chicago, among them Drs. Maurice
B. Wolff, Norman Curry and Arthur
B. Reynolds. They declared the tight
skirt Is a splendid thing, and that
among other things, It corrects the
tendency Of the American woman to
turn her toes out when walking.
