HEALTH AND THE CORSET.

No corset ever designed will injure the
health IL 1t is worn loose. To be sure,
II maySnot then give one the fashionable
1gure, but what of that when compared
with the havoc such compression of the
great internal organs necessarily Gre
ates?
The pressure of the average corset is
at the waist where the tissues are soft
and yielding-here lie the stomach, liver,
ana pancreas, all vital organs and all inti-
mately concerned with digestion. The
appetites OF women are, as a rule, ca
PRECIOUS and the digestion Indifferent
due, undoubtedly. very largely to the con-
slant compression of these organs and
the consequent impossibility OF perform
ing their functions properly. Nature is
marVelously adaptable, ard manages to
sustain life through endless viscissi-
tudes, as the work of these hampered
organs amply testiies.
frequently the liver, which is the larg-
est gland in the body, and weighs sew
eral pounds. is pushed out OF its posi-
ton and forced down the abdomen un-
til It reaches the pelvis. This pressure
from above constantly exerted upon the
special organs of women confined in the
pelvis has most deleterious effect upon
them, retarding circulation, interfering
with nervous impulses and even detach-
Ing the tissues from their moorings and
In these ways giving rise to no end of
so-called female troubles"
While II is perfectly true that the cor
set worn in this manner hampers and
greatly interferes with the functions of
all organs 1t constructs, 1t is also per-
tectly true that some such garment has
become necessity with many women
and can be made just as useful as abuse
full II correctly adjusted, with a view to
aiding nature instead OF shacklins her:
but nothing Is more ridiculous than the
sight of a heavy woman trussed in the
restricting garment designed to give her
a svelte form.
The object Of a well-htting corset Is to
sustain sagging tissues: to "gird the
loins" In very truth; to support organs
In danger of prolapse from relaxation,
and, last. but by no means least, as a
framework upon which to build the out
er garments.
There are many who still believe that
the shoulders should carry the weight
OF our clothing. but even men have
awakened to the mischief that can be
done the delicate tissue at the apex of
the lung, which reaches well up to the
collar bone, and the dragging, pulling
and hauling Of those structures by sus-

The Price of Flat Work
Decreases in All Laundries

While inquiring prices of laundering
flat work, the writer visited the Ar
cade Laundry, Fourteenth and Park
road and interviewed the proprietors,
Messrs. w. F. Bergman and L. o.
Cook and found they are fully justified
in the step they have taken, as they
both believe and live up to the old
saying, Live and Let Live" conse-
quently only the highest class of labor
is employed and these work under the
eight-hour law and are paid top-notch
wages; this and the increased cost of
supplies has recently forced the man
agement to inaugurate a new rate
for flat work which meets with the
approval of their patrons. I was also
surprised to find the improved methods
employed in all departments, every
thing designed and operated to min
inixe the wear OF materials; some ar
ticles are ironed by hand, but a new
machine for laundering shirts is oper-
ated by steam pressure. doing away
entirely with the rubbing process. A

District G Courts

Helen c. Mckinney and B. II. Lovett
yesterday filed a suit IN District Supreme
Court against the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York to recover the
amount they allege Is due on an insur-
ance policy held by Charles A. Mckinney,
who died recently. Mrs Mckinney says
Mr.. Lovett holds an interest of $500 in, the
policy, and asserts that the deceased Sc
cured S231 from the defendants on his
policy calling for $500. Attorney @.

The Fischer Jewelry Company was In
corporated yesterday TO do a general
merchandise business at 43S Ninth street
northwest and s37 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest. The capital stock is $4,000.
The incorporators are Harry s. Fischer,

Attorney Frank Stetson yesterday fled
a petition for letters of administration
in the estate OF George W. Gray upon

Mr. Gray held realty valued at $145f9
and personal property worth sS3,5oo.
Mrs. Laura Ethel Bryant yesterday

similar process is used in the launder-
ing of collars.
Recently a new fat-work ironer was
installed which will not only improve
the character of work turned out but
will increase the capacity of the plant
sufficiently to meet the demands of
the increasing business, which has
grown to such an extent that they
are now employing many people in the
plant, 1t requiring several automo-
oiles and horse-drawn wagons to collect
and deliver the work.
