COMMERCIAL CLUB LETTER

The Observer received letter from
the President and Secretary of
the Dallas Commercial Club, delivered
in person with a request to publish
the same in full, while the Observer
columns are always open to communi-
cations, we have always exercised the
right to cut lengthy one and leave
room for other features. In this
case we waive our perogative and
apologize for the space given. We
believe the denial would have more
weight if the gentlemen had written
to the Portland Commercial Club and
requested them to deny the article
they so generously sent broadcast in
Oregon and also ask them to give the
denial the same publicity that they
gave the article that the Observer re-
produced. This paper believes that
its readers should be kept posted as
to what other papers in Oregon say
and if we had kept quiet and not
published the article in controversy,
it would have resulted in a great deal
of harm to Polk County, as other
counties in Oregon could have used
that article as an argument to the
homeseekers as why Polk County Was
not a good place to locate in as taxes
were bound to be higher if such an
enormous tax were to be levied. We
leave it to our readers to act as jur-
ors in this case.

WAIST SHOULD BE NORMAL
Correct corsetlne Always Ono Of the
Most important Aids to Health
and Beauty.

At the root Of the ills to which
feminine flesh is heir is incorrect cor
setting and tight lacing. These are
by no means synonymous terms One
may be incorrectly yet loosely cor
seted. Today it is the exceptional
woman who laces her corset so tightly
that her figure assumes an unnatural
contour. Ten years ago many women
did. This improvement is to some
degree to the credit of the wearers
Of corsets, but to a still greater degree
it is to the credit of corset manufac-
turers and the mandates Of fashion.
Women who have just regard for their
health and beauty realize that tho
normal waist measurement is an i'm
portant adjunct thereto. This is
proved by the fact that all ready-made
garments are two inches larger around
the waist than they we're woOyears
ago, which means that most women
who used to wear a % corset now
wear "a, and so on through the diff
ferent sizes.
Leading physicians all admit that
women require support for the abdo-
men. Support is entirely different
from suppression. If the abdomen is
suppressed, lot of trouble is brought
on, the first sign Of which is constipa-
ton. The colon cannot function prop
erly. More depends upon the colon
than most people are aware of, even
some physicians. The direct results
of restricting the action Of the colon
are weakness, insomnia and dyspep-
sia; the indirect results are too nu-
merous to mention and would be su-
perduous, because the prevailing
styles in corsets conform in great
degree to natures demands.
The wise physician raises his voice
not against the use but the abuse Of
the corset. A corset which supports
the abdomen will never be condemned
by those who are conversant with the
structure of the human body, mascu-
line or feminine. More men wear
abdominal belts than is dreamed Of by
the public. Some Of the most ad-
vauced scientists state that women
can wear corsets now which conform
to the latest fashion without sacri-
lcing their health.-Harriet Edwards
Fayes, in Woman's World.

DAINTY LITTLE DRESS
PARTICULARLY DESIGNED FOR
WoMEN OF SLENDER FIGURE.
Nothing Better In Summer Evening
Froeks Has Been offered Than
This TyplealIy French confeo-
tlon Described.


II you are slender and rather tail
Jon can wear the dress of the sketch
and know that 1t was designed for
your particular type, but If you are
well, If you are not, it will certainly
never do. It was worn by a young
woman to whom it was not at all
suited at a recent private dance, but
the dress itself was so altogether
dainty and youthful that am sending
home a sketch In case any one wishes
to copy it for a lovely summer eve
ming frock, writes Lillian E. Young in
letter from Paris to the Washington
Star.
These many rufied skirts are ex-
tremely modish just now, and are
most becoming to the type that suit,
for, naturally, the design lends full
ness to slight figure and cuts the
height as well.
In this instance dawn-pink chiffon
was used throughout, though If some
thing little more substantial is pre-
ferred the skirt may be Of tahreta, and
the bodice Of chiffon to match. The
little bow knots set at the top Of each
Aounce down the left side of the skirt
were IN azure-biue velvet ribbon, and
lent delightfully."- quaint touch to the
costume. The sleeves were similarly
trimmed.
Don't get the idea that such a skirt
Is hard to make. It isn't-but 1t will
require some time and care to arrange
the 1ounces evenly. They are simply
straight strips Of the material
l(doubled If Of chiffon, but single in
taffeta) about six to seven inches
deep and evenly gathered at the top
and attached to a plain foundation
skirt underneath. This may be of
