COLD CURE FOR BADNESS

Can badness be cured by cold at
mosphere treatment? The question
has attracted the attention Of scient-
lists.
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the explor-
er, laid stress upon the fact that many
Of the men in his expedition before
their sojourn in the Antarctic regions
were remarkable for the thinness OF
their locks. They had barely been a
few weeks in the frozen south, how
ever, than their hair began to grow,
and when they returned from their
expedition all had hair remarkable for
its thickness and luxuriance.
It has been remarked also that near
ly all the men who work the greater
part OF the day in cold storage rooms
have good heads OF hair.
1t may be that some enterprising
person will soon start the cold cure
for badness.

WILL AGAIN STAND ERECT
According to Report, the "lnsenue
SLOUGH" Is Soon TO Become a
Thing Of the Past.

Vague hints and whispers have
come from Paris that the ingenue
SLOUGH, by whatever name It goes -
the dropping figure - is doomed to
pass the way of all the fashionable
figures OF the past SO the girl who
hes let her fine, straight back get
curved and her broad, full chest get
fiat, must set about holding herself
up again. You might as well be in
the vanguard of the upright figure,
even IL you have just learned to carry
off the fashionable SLOUGH gracefully
without suffocating yourself by con-
tracing your chest.
At the time that the dropping fig
ure first became fashionable some
theatrical man dubbed It the ''ingenue
slouch," 1t Is said. 1t was adopted
by all the chorus girls of Broadway
and he had good opportunity to study
1t at first hand.
Doubtless some equally obseryant
theatrical manager will find some
good name for the upright figure. II
1t really does become fashionable.
There is no telling what that name
may be. But 1t will be descriptive. II
II lives to be popular.
The only way to get any sort Of
figure. dropping or upright, is to prac-
tice holding your body In the required
position. Most of ns are born straight
fortunately. and II we practice deep
breathing we can expand our chests
and force our lungs into their rightful
grooves without much difficulty.

scientists have slowly frozen fish into

TREASURY FIGURES
PLEASE DEMOCRATS
Surplus This Year, However, Will
Be Turned Into Deficit by
Panama Canal Charges
By Associated Press

Washington, D. c., July 2.-There
was great elation in Democratic circles
here to-day over the fact that the
Wilson administration closed the fiscal
year Tuesday with it's income exceed
ing ordinary expenses by $33,S4,452.07.
The figures as announced by the Treas
ury Department showed hat the total
receipts for the year aggregated
$734,343,700 20. while total disburse-
ments were $500, 559,24S.13. The to-
tai receipts were a million and a half
more than Secretary McAdoo's original
estimates.
The Treasury surplus this year, how
ever, will be turned into a deficit of
S1.0~10,058.S1 when payments for the
Panama canal aggregating $34,826,941
during the past twelve months have
been charged against the general fund
of the Treasury.
Secretary McAdoo to-day was highly
gratifed over the showing under the
new tariff and income tax law and
predicted that still better results would
be accomplished during the next fiscal
year. President Wilson, Representa-
tive Underwood and Senator Simmons,
who framed the tariff law, were in
formed of the showing in c~ongratu-
latory messages to them by the Secre-
tary.
