LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
BLANCHE BEACON
Beauty Destroying Habits
BY BLANCHE BEACON

There are many pretty girls and
women in the length and the breadth
of this country who, unthinkingly,
of course, detract from their good
looks by inelegant attitudes.
This would not be such a serious
matter if it weren't for the fact that
the woman who stands or sits tncor-
rectly, cannot breathe deeper. What
of that?'' I think hear a far voice
nurmur, Why, I thought most
the shallow breather generally has
poor health.
Your comn1onsense will tell you that
the damsel who sits with her shoulders
bowed out and her chest bowed in
cannot breathe deeply, and because of
this the lungs go without the neces-
sary fresh amount of fresh air. The
result? Ill lungs, sallow, coarse
skin, eyes that know not the meaning
of the WORD sparkle and hair that falls
and falls until little bald spots spring
into being. Sit up, my gentle reader!
When you find your shoulders begin
ming to contract, take a deep breath
and throw out your chest and draw
in your abdomen.
It Is because SO many Of my sisters
stint their lungs of fresh air, that our

Washington, March 7-Secretary of
State Bryan has given to the public
the first official statement as to his
views en- the national position of the

For this purpose he uses an abstract
from a speech he delivered. nearly
thirteen years ago. 4 s-:s
The secretary's statement follows:
81 do not care to speak of our for

ton or question, but my views on our
national position are expressed in the
closing words of the speech which I

19V0. The words to which refer
are as follows, and show that I am in
hearty accord with President Wilson

supper. This year they added a
goose which Se1ectman . J. La1ley
donated
The reson seems to puzzle a num-
Der of voters of thetown why it was
necessary to make the change in the
telephone service at the fire house.
The evening before the town meeting
the chief had occasion to use the wire
and found no reply from central. He
waited a few minutes and called a gain
still not receiving any answer. He
stepped out and called from another
place in the center and on investigat-
ing found some one had the receiver
off but would not answer. The COM
pany sent a man over and he and the
chief knew that the Nettleton stables
were the nearest place on the line,
SO they looked in the window and
found the telephone laying on the
floor and the receiver along side of it.
After calling Mr. Nettleton they went
in and found that the cat must have
knocked it of the desk.

threats of militant suffragettes to de
