Central City Has Saloons.

The court of appeals Tuesday re-
versed the Muhlenberg circuit
court in the case of John L. May.
In this case May was convicted of
selling whisky on a license which
it was contended had expired auto
matically when the higher court up
held the election at which the coun-
ty had been voted dry. Under the
decision an unexplred license held
by John 7. May and Ed Miller has
been declared good until expiration,
which will be December 5. This
license has been transferred to John
7. Mays old stand, and the saloon
will be open again this morning. So
Muhlenberg will have one saloon
for about three weeks, and there Is
little doubt that an immense busl-
ness will be transacted.

Fashion and Health.

We hear much severe criticism of
the modern fashions in women's
dress; some of 1t is deserved, but
some of it is not. On the whole,
women ale dressing more sensibely
and wisely; and the corset, which Is
the article of dress that reformers
begin and end by ATTACHING, has
shown more improvement than any
thing else. The corset used TO be a
veritablc engine of tortue, dcliber-
ately designed to crush the waist in
To space several inches less than
nature intended it to occupy. The
SO called straight front, corset is
an actual boon to women. Proper
ly made and fitted, it gives support
is needed, and leaves the body tree
from the waist upward, so that
breathing is unlmpended. OF course
it is possible to wear any garment
that is designed to fit closely to any
part of the human body too tight;
that Is even true of bedroom slip
per, and it is clearly true of the
straight front corset.
But the present corset may not
remain in fashion; the fashion pa
pers from time to time declare that
straight fronts are rgoing out" and
small waists rcoming in" again. 1t
will be extremely unfortunate if that
is the case; women ought to learn
the value of conservatism in dress,
and the wisdom of keeping sensible
models in dress when they have
once been adopted, however anxi-
Gus the professional costumers and
dressmakers may be to change them.
In many ways, the present fash
ions make for health as we'll as
beauty. The walking pump is US
ually sensible and we'll cut, the high,
tight collar has disappeared, and
dress materials are supple and ligh,
in weight. The obest dress" of the
average woman a few decades ago
was a veritable horror, tightly fitted,
heavily lined and boned, and weigh
ing more than half a dozen modern
gowns. Of course there is nothing
to be said in defense of the ex-
tremes to which some women of bad
taste carry the modern fashions, but
there is bad taste In all areas and in
all grades of society. Perhaps the
worst form of bad taste that i.
abroad at the present moment is the
too narrow skirt. Bad taste is al
ways worse when 1t is in bad hygien'
les, too, and a skirt that will moi
permit Its wearer to have freedom
of movement is unhealthy as we'll a.
ugly.

Postal Savings Bank.

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hos
tilities opened across the seas pos
tai savings receipts began to IN
crease by leaps and bounds and
Withdrawals fell off, a result quite
contrary to the predictions of many
well-informed persons who, in their
imagination, saw lines of feyerish
depositors at post offce pay win
dows ANXIOUS TO again return their
savings to the bootleg and body
belt repositories whence they came
before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But
the forecasters failed to reckon on
the absolute confidence of the
American citizen, regardless of the
flag that first met his eyes, in the
ability and purpose of the Govern
ment to carry out Its obligations,
not only among the nations of the
earth, but with the humblest citizen
of our land.
Two important results haye fol
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pat,
rons of our postal savings system
and enormous sums Of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at a
time when the need for every avail.
able dollar Is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in
the United States has been steady
aud healthy and the system has hl
led an important gap between the
tin-csn depository aud the factory
paymaster. On July /, when affairs
were running smoothly here ant
abroad and the transmission o
money scioss the Atlantic was safe
