"Dothn't yours?" asked the little

So the kidlets came out and the
detective helped them to dress.
THAT belongs on the girl" shouted
someone from the bank when the de-

DON'T LET THE BODY SETTLE.

One is apt to let the body settle, as
SO many women do when they get
toward middle life. Keep up the nor
NAL elasticity of the muscles and liga-
ments by keeping the body erect and
taking such exercises as will help you
retain this strength. Try this exer-
else, sitting or standing: Slowly lift
the chest as high as possible, then let
it go, being careful not to allow it to
sink beyond the relaxing point-that
is, do not let the muscles about the
waist drop or sag. Repeat this ten
times without stopping and repeat the
exercise many times day. You know
you can raise up the chest by power of
the muscles any time during the day
without especially setting aside time
for the exercise. You see your heavier
appearance is due to the fact that you
are not making the muscles about the
waist do their work of supporting the
body, SO the chest sinks, and the whole
body settles, making shorter and
heavier appearance to your figure.

DEMOCRATIC BANKING.
New Orleans States.)

Suppose you owned a small farm
which was just about paying its way
but needed fertilizers and improved
machinery to make it yield as it should.
Why should you pay or per cent
to bank or private note shaver on a
short-time loan to meet these needs
when Uncle Sam, in his postal savings
bank, where you get your mail, has
money not working, on which he pays
only 2 per cent interest?
At present, that idle money in Uncle
Sans postal bank, when used at all, is
first loaned to a banker, and he, in
turn, takes nice toll before he reloans
lit to some producer of wealth who
needs it in his business. The scheme
is rugged to give the banker first
chance at profit.
With due respect to the banker,
what is the matter with letting Uncle
Sam loan the money direct thus cut.
ting out the unnecessary profit of the
banking middleman?
That is exactly what is proposed in
the Heating bill now in Congress
awaiting action.
Heating would let a real farmer, for
creative farming purposes, borrow up
to $4,000, for not more than thirty
years, on his farm as security, if
double the value of the loan, at 4 per
cent interest, he pledging to pay not
only interest every year, but also at
least 1 per cent of the principal.
Of course, to make this plan work
able, the present limit on what a per-
son may deposit in a postal sayaings
bank, limit fixed low to appease
| frightened private bankers, would need
to be removed. But why should there
be limit, any how? If man prefers
Uncle Sans per cent interest and
safety to what a private banker will
give him shouldn't he be allowed his
choice as far as he wants to go?
The Heating bill probably won't
come up till next session, but it's none
too early to be thinking about it and
sitting up nights plotting to kill it.
Heating restricts this low-interest
borrowing chance to farmers, prefer
Iably those needing small loans. THAI
makes it look like class legislation.
Come to think Of it, why not let any
body in who can hook the required
security? Seems to us that's the rea
way to pull the teeth of the money
trust.

Our troops in conjunction with the
British have assumed everywhere the
offensive. We are faced by almost

right, is thickly wooded and difficult.
The battle is likely to last several
days.

result of the first phase of the COM
