EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cl,l-
ture and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks. both men and
women. exceled in beautiful and SYM
metrical forms was because of the at
tention they paid to the. proper exer-
else. Then, ; too. they were untram-
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences Of clothing To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatiguing work. Mild exercise con-
tinued day after day is best for the
body, and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
There is no stronger proof of the
sound remedial value of DR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription than that it re-
stores the wasted form to its wonted
roundness. ). 80

Pierce's Favorite Prescription speedily

New Century Pomona Wednesday at

Worthy Master called to order and the

Mrs. Briggs was mistress of her work

Here's the Program, but

The program Of legislation which
Mr.. Kitchin exposed to the Demo-
Gratis of Congress in caucus assembled
represents. we are told, the minimum
Of results which the President is will
ing to accept from this session of Con-
eress-which session. it is added, is ex-
pected to finish its task in the early
summer.
Inasmuch as the program is largely
composed of items Of highly con-
troverted business and since the ap-
preparation bills are only at the be-
ginning of their progress toward en-
actment, we are moved to conclude
that it is the early summer Of 1917 that
the President has in mind. The gag
rule in the House may serve to ex-
pedite consideration of the Presidents
bills in the lower branch, but the Sem
ate has no such convenient instrument
for a schoolma ster executive, and al
ready there is evidence Of sharp d.
vision Of opinion between the two
houses regarding many important
questions. For instance, the sugar
tariff bill, which the House passed
amid so many Republican taunts, has
been seriously modified by the Senate
committee which dealt with it, and the
debate is likely to be prolonged and to
become acrimonious; while the con-
ference committee which must newt
ably resolve the difference of the two
bodies will have neither speedy nor
an easy time in reaching a conclusion
The other items Of the program may
and probably will encounter like
difficulty; and 1t Is not easy to see how
the Presidents program can be carried
out within the time limit which Mr..
Wilson has set for it.
Three years at Washington ought to
have taught the President that it Is one
thing to make a program for Congress
and that it is quite another thing to
put it through. II he has not yet
learned this, or If he does not come to
comprehend it by next March. he will
find in it much food for reflection in
the long years Of retirement which
awaits him.

No Fractional Delegates.

Warning has been sent out by

against the practice Of settling fac

That such augmented delegates will
not be seated is the warning sent by
Chairman Hilles. who says:
THE necessity for carrying out the
provisions Of the official COLL is obvious
II one state Is permitted to double the
allotted number Of delegates and te
give to each half vote. there is
no reason why other states should not

There are 3s1 delegates in the Ma

Continuous Performance.

Representative Joseph W. Fordney OF
MICHIGAN, ranking Republican on the
WAYS and Means committee, pays MS
RESPECTS to the webbing and change
able policy of the present admimstra-
ton in the following characteristic
terms:
"1n former wears I attended a circus
to witness the high and lofty tumbiins
of the acrobats. During the past three
wears l have had no occasion to attend
the circus. The acrobatic feats OF the
present administration have afforded
all the diversion that any sane citizen
could desire.
Originally, the administration de-
clared for free Panama tolls. After
wards, it begged Congress to repeal
the toll bill for secret reasons which
it was not willing to give even to the
leaders of the Democratic party in
Congress.
1T declared for non-interference IN
Mexico: then sent military and naval
expedition to Vera Cruz; then with
drew all armed forces from that place.
1T stated that the Mexicans could
settle all their own internal di1ncul-
ties; then determined that Huerta
should not be president; then assisted
then turned It's
support to Carranza in opposition 10
Villa, Now the American guns that
were nlaced in Villas hands have been
turned against our own people.
"A wear ago the administration pooh
noobed the idea Of preparedness. Now
the President says: Preparedness
stands in the very front of my whole
thought
Twice the administration has fav-
ored a tax on automobiles and twice
the plan Of taxation has been with
drawn.
1T raised its hands in holy horror
against making war loans by American
financiers; then it permitted the great
est war loan in history to be fioated
in the United States.
with righteous indignation 1t de-
clared for progressive Democracy, then
formed alliances with machine Demo-
Gratis in every state.
IN the alleged interest of free
market-basket it passed law remov-
ing the duty on sugar. Under the
euise of a revenue tariff it now asks for
duty on sugar.
1T declared for protection Of Ameri-
can trade on the high seas, but passed
a law that drove many Of our ships
from the ocean.
To-day the administration is using
the single-term plank of the Demo-
cratic national platform of 1912 as a
spring board from which it may turn a
back somersault into the White House
for another four years"

The Elephant and Donkey.

4 Gardiner man writes: Recently
you published an editorial which ]
think hit the nail on the head by point
ing out wherein the donkey is so typi-
cal Of the Democratic party. Now can
you tell how the donkey and elephant
came to BIO emblems Of Democratic and
Republican parties?"
A Washington correspondent of the
Journal writes:-
The elephant was first used to signify
the Republican party by Thomas Mast,
the famous cartoonist, in November,
1874. In cartoon labelled IAN ass,

that Father Johns Medicine relieves

the vote Of 1914 and found there are

where Q change Of 1000 votes would
shift the House to as strongly Repub-

not think we are as strong politically
before the voters as we were two
years ago. The Republican party is

and am frank to say that our chances
of controlling the lower branch OF
