THE PERFECT GIRL.
She Is Miss Elsie ScheeI, Student at
Cornell.


The most nearly perfect physical
specimen of womanhood just now is
Miss Elsie Scheel, a student in the
college of horticulture at Cornell uni
versity. According to DR.. Esther Par
ker, medical examiner of the 400 CO.
eds in the university, Miss Scheel is
not only a young woman of great
strength, but in her physical makeup
there is not single defect
Miss Scheel, who is a light haired,
blue eyed girl whose very presence be-
speaks perfect health, is twenty-four
years old, weighs III pounds and is
five feet seven inches tall. Her nor
NAL chest measurement is 34.6 inches,
waist 30.3 inches, hips 40.4 inches. She
is very fond of outdoor sports and
walking. Her hobby is motoring, her
favorite sport basketball, and she is
an ardent suffragette. She is much
interested in horticulture, but if she
were a man she would study mechap-
ical engineering, as she likes to work
about an automobile.
She eats but three meals in two days
and almost always goes without break
fast. She does not believe in eating
mechanically. Her favorite food is
beefsteak. She doesn't care about deli
cacies and has no liking for candy.
She has never taken a drink of tea or
coffee in her life and keeps regular
hours. She says she has never been
ill and doesn't know what fear is. Girls
would be happier if they got over the
fear Of things, she says.
When she finishes her course Miss
Scheel is going to grow vegetables on
her fathers farm.

Worth Knowing.

Never throw away pieces of lemon
after they have been squeezed with the
lemon squeezer, for they come In
handy for removing stains from the
hands and elsewhere. Dipped into salt
they will scour copper kettles nicely
and remove stains from brasswork.
Lemon like this will take stains, dirt
and odor from pans and kettles as
nothing else will The odors of fish
and onions can thus he easily removed.

Secretary MacVeagh's Letter.

At the request of Representative Glass
Secretary MacVeagh has written TO the
Democratic members letter explaining
his order and the benefits which VIII &C
cruc therefrom Ia this letter Mr. Mac
Neagh corrects the trifling sl9S,OoV,Ooo
error and sets forth, further. that the
now has in banks approx
mately Si9.OO0,000 (which has been the
amount carried, with slight variations
for the last two or three years, and Is the
minimum which has been carried Tor
some time" Mr.. MacVcagh points out
further that possession by bank Oh a
deposit in no way diminishes
the loaning capacity of the bank, be-
cause the law requires the bank to pur-
chase government bonds in the amount
of the deposit and, therefore. no reserve
need be held against the government de-
posits. The Secretary then asserts that,
while the order In question has necessi-
tatcd an increase in the number of ma
tional bank repositories. the net increase
in government funds deposited in national
banks as a result Of tho order is S@j0,OoO.
Setting this against the s20o,o0o,0oo al

Washington, Feb. THE Rules Com
the immediate consideration of the Webb

ing to face the prohibition issue to-mor-
row. The bill was given privileged status
through the insistence OF temperance adj
vocates and its author Finding that eva
sion would cause them more trouble than
the actual report OF the special rule, the
and the anti-liquor forces are as jublant
as the average Democrat is downcast.
The Webb measure merely prohibits the
interstate shipment OF intox!canting liquor
for sale into dry" territory. 1t is de-
signed to break up the blind tiger" and
the jug trade" and Is not aimed at the
individual consumer in a prohibition To-
cality. However, the Rules Committee
provided that amendments might be Of
fered, and that the bill and all amend
ments thereto should go To vote after
three hours debate.
This will permit Mr.. Hobson to move to
amend the bill and prohibit entirely the
interstate shipment of liquor consigned
to prohibition territory. In the event such
an amendment is offered the members
OF the House will face vote on legisla-
ton which has been strenuousIy opposed
by the brewing interests and ardently
urged by the temperance forces. Other
embarrassing amendments will be offered.
