Word and a
Good Form
By Lillian Russell

often say that idleness is the root
Of all ugliness, and that is positively
true. Hafi work is not overwork, but
the rapid, steady work that pulls mus.
cles into play aud sends the blood
and sweat flowing freely.
Some women think that the height Of
luxury is in having nothing to do. I
think the woman is most fortunate who
has things to do about her house which
exact vigorous use of her muscles.
Nothing is better ally against nerv-
business and irritability than out Of
door exercise or violent use Of the mus
eles. II is the only way TO gain or
retain q good form. English women
walk miles every day or do three or
four hours Of homework as it should
be done That is the way women do
who are brought up to be real house
keepers in the east, west and northwest.
Such women can accomplish three times
as much in half day as a trained
city servant can do in whole day.

of the body, and it is prOcerb in out
spoken districts that such one is "too
proud to sweat." " have heard middle
class women aver that they never per
spire, as if it weer sign Of gentility.
But they never fail to pay the penalty
in sallowness of face and adipOse.
The moderate, easy going woman
grows fat, the active, quick-fOOted one
keeps down her flesh, and shows as
good a figure at 40 as she did at 20.
That fatal thickening at the back of
the neck, by which men profess to
know when women are past 40, is an
unnecessary consequence.
Remember: A woman who is too fine

of the needed work Of family Of six,
living in plain style, without Omitting
any of the essentials of good breeding
or taste.
Tne secret is practice and dispatch.
And such woman, with baths, clean
linen, and two hours out Of doors daily,
will have the figure of a Venus with
out further physical culture.
She may dawdle over the same work
all day and be just as tired and heavy
footed as Bridget, who wears herself
out standing around, instead Of having
sense enough to go thoroughly through
her work until it is finished and then
sit down and rest for a couple Of hours.
Daily Duties Brace the Figure.
Daily, rapid, necessary duties, var
lea hour by hour, knit and brace the
figure as nothing else does. The thin,
bony arms, so unpresentable and pre-
valent in America, are due to long
sleeves and want Of exercise. Pumping,
sweeping, throwing stones, or bowling,
are all good for the arm development.
The way to get the most benefit
from work is to time oneself and see
how much can be donei quarter
hour, a half hour, and so on until the
sweat flows, that greatest re storer Of

FANS ENTHUSIASTIC

Camden, Ark July 19.-The busi- ness men of Camden, who have sup ported a baseball team here during the present season, are preparing to put a second team in the field.

The second team will be composed of number of high school and other local players, without the addition of out of town players. It will be under the manage ment of l.. B. Rowe.
 The first team has schedules for games during each week of the rest of the season, and shorter schedule of about two games week will be ar ranged for the second team from now until school opens in September, when a number of the players will go back to the high school. Special pains will be taken to preserve the amateur standing of all the players on the sec ond team, so that no complaint san be raised against them when they try for school teams.

ADVICE TO COUNTRY GIRLS

The Young Women's Christian As. sociation sends out the following gooo advice to farmers daughters: 'fGirls should never ask the way o1 any one but officials on duty, such as policemen, railway officials or post men,"
 Girls should never stay to help a woman who apparently faints at their feet, but should immediately call a policeman to her aid" Girls should never go to an ad- dress given them by a stranger
 Girls should never go with a stranger, even if the stranger is dressed as a hospital nurse, or believe stories of their relatives having suf- fered accident or having been taken ill suddenly, as this is common de- vice to kidnap girls"
 Girls should never accept candy, food, a glass of water or smell flowers offered to them by strangers Neither should they buy scents or food or can dy at their doors. Any of those things can contain drugs"
 Girls shauld never take situatins without first making inquiries through a society active or affiliated in travel CTS aid work"
 Girls should never go to any large town even for one night without knowing of safe lodging"
 Plans are under way to have the above words of caution posted in ev- cry railway and street car station in the United States, that our girls may be warned of the dangers awaiting them while travelling.

 Many of MT. Meek's friends have declared from the first that he would receive the appointment. His Wlthr drawal from the race came as a sur prise to the people of this city. {
 There are number of well known men still in the race here, including: Harry Stewart, Ed Harper, H. H. Dyer John Lide and Lute B. Sone. The competition will be keen between these gentlemen, as each one of them is we'll able to fill the position and each has a strong influence behind him.

PINE BLUFFS PROSPERITY

The Pine Bluff Daily Graphic of Pine Bluff, Ark, in it's July 9th edition, gave considerable of it's space to the advantages of Pine Bluff as shipping center and the inducements which it holds out to industry generally. A very good showing was made for its commercial and industrial growth during the past few years, the con- clusions to be drawn from the facts set forth being that Bluff City is naturally trade center and is grad ually coming into it's own. The heavy shipments of wholesalers, which broke all records since the first of the year, were very carefully and in. terestingly set forth. As would naturally be expected, the importance of the lumber industry of that city and section was given due considera- tion, and among other of the larger plants which were given a brief but comprehensive assessment was that of the McGehee-Smith Lumber Com pany, which, although only year old is employing 200 men, turning out 4O,- 900 feet of lumber a day and making rapid progress all along the line. The Graphic deserves commendation for the enterprising spirit it is manifest ing in booming the industrial and commercial facilities of Pine Bluff generally This is policy that pays, and Pine Bluff citizens will be the beneficiaries thereof in every imagi- nable way. There is nothing that re- bounds more profitably to the up- building of city or town than to have its advantages properly ana in- telligently set forth in the columns of the daily press, where the reading millions will have an opportunity to see the advantages that lie at their very doors and thus be enabled to inn prove their own individual opportuni- ties for betterment in their chosen sphere of activity or occupations, Whatever they may be.-St. Louis Lumberman.

IMPORTANCE or BEGINNING IN
 CIVIC RETIREMENT,

Much that is being said with refer ence to city plan for St. Louis is, of course, of local import and applica- tion, but much of it, also has a direct bearing upon the general movement toward municipal betterment in the United States, says one of our recent exchanges. The chief city of Missouri and metropolis of the Southwest ex- hibits decidedly healthful tendencies when it subjects itself to critical ex- animation, recognizes its physical de- flclencies and takes measure for their correction. As a matter of fact it deals With its defeats more frankly and un- sparingly than would any disinterest- ec outsider. It sees them more plainly, to begin with, and it recognizes with Keener vision than could any mere visiting observer the necessity for a radical change in present methods if u IS to be more presentable com munity fifty years hence than it is to- day.
 St. Louis may be left to administer 10 itself such reproof and castignation as It deems proper. In doing so, how ever, it touches upon points that are l of interest to every other progressive and ambitious community in the coun- try It gives indorsemept for in stance, to review of the situation
 rom the pen of one of its ,citizens who views the whole question of civic E aettsrment T n in it's sphysical aspect from |'a stsadp point, and in such a
 manner as to include in the scope oi

notonous round which, if it amuses, is still all they know of dancing"
 Perhaps it is unfair to find fault with the excellent young people of Chicago because they do not get a sufficient amount of pleasure out of their pleasure. They are not alto gether to blame for this. They are rather crushed by the iron spirit of the time. The community is trying to alleviate this sorry condition by establishing small parks and play grounds with field houses, by giving to the people their own public school buildings as social centers and oNer- wise working to uncover the valuable truth that the best thing in life is the joy of living.
 Chicago must continue to deal in- telligently with the problem of re- storing play to it's proper position in the lives of it's people. The vice and crime are symptoms of low spirits, proofs of the lack of properly bal anced ration of work and play in the lives of many.

take some general campaign of educa- tion on the part of owners and driv-
 CTS. The railroads have found this advisable, and the safety first" slogan
 is becoming familiar and effective.
 Ut is a mockery of common sense" "
 says the New York Tribune, "to in
 sist that the engineers who drive
 trains on a protected railroad track should be both highly trained and absolutely exemplary in their habits, and then allow chauffeurs with slight experience and still slighter sense of responsibility, often more or less intoxicated, to run automobiles at Will on the public roads"
 If there is not a sharp ''salization of the situation by aut snobile own CTS, there is likely to ae general de- mand for restrie 3e measures. If accidents multiply, with the vast in crease in thr number of machines it will be str .nge if there is not an agi- tation in many cities to keep them out of tie downstoWn streets. Nor will t be strange if there is a movement to debar them from certain highways, in order that the farmer and others who still are forced or wish to use a horse-drawn vehicle may drive in safety. The public generally is toler- ant, and there is not as much com- plaint as might be expected, consider ing the frequent provocation. But it will be we'll to begin to consider the situation with great seriousness.

PLAYING, A LOST ART.

Before child welfare meeting in Auroria, H., recently, Mr. De Groot superintendent of the American Play ground Association, deplored the fact that Americans are forgetting how to play. They work so much and have so few opportunities to engage in wholesome pastime that dextrous, enjoyable playing is becoming with them a lost art
 Chicago, under the enlightened leadership of women's clubs and some other organizations, has taken an ad- vanced stand for better things in this respect Mr. Ee Groot, however, finds that even today in this city most of the young who are budding into man. hood and womanhood have little va riety in their recreations."
 Sad to say, the enjoyment that comes in the scanty hours of leisure is too often little sad in itself and perhaps rather unprofitable. The young people of the city may dance or attend moving picture shows 'or poolrooms. 'sin their dancing, said MT. De Groot, they reflect Well their forgetting of the earlier days joys They don't dance, they circle in a two or three step. ceaseless mo-
