AVOID THAT DOUBLE CHIN"
Investigation Has Shown It Can Be
~ Controlled II Not Entirely Done
LII Away With.

hGAmong the other Strange ideas ad-
Fanced In this era Of strangeness Is
the one which would make it appear
that the personal form of plumpness
known as a double chin Is not strictly
patriotic. The critic, presumably a
person of Iathllke build, declares that
a double chin is an Indicator Of dis
regard for conservation. Generous
feeders are usually marked by this
aeshy excess.
TOf course nobody wants a double
chin. AS far as known 1t never has
found a welcome. Nobody desires to
lose the precious neck line of youth.
"A double chin with its curving crease
Us quite enough of an anxiety without
Coupling it with an intimation Of dis
regard Tor loyalty.
Happily the charge has brought a
auick \ response. An investigator de-
clard that the double chin can be con
crOIled and very largely mitigated, 1t
tIeDehIs largely upon the carriage and
voselIISf the head. The person who
has repeated chin, or Is threatened
With one, should recall and practice

son who sits. or stands, or walks. with
an srect body and keeps the chin up
tilted, can defy the crease and the fat

SLAGKERS AMONG
FARMERS WERE
Relatively FEW
BUT THERE WERE SOME WHO
FAILED TO SUBSCRIBE in FOR
MER LIBERTY LOAN DRIVES.
A CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD
Uncle Sam Has Been EarmerS Best
Customer and Reciproeatlon
10 In Order.

You hear the question argued as ia
whether the farmer has done his full
part In the buying OF Liberty Bonds
Ut Is generally admitted that he has.
But-as with other men--thete were
thousands OF him who Stacked.
There Is no sense IN being soft-spok-
en- about It. The facts show II. The
various Liberty Loan organizations
had farmers on their Stacker lists,
just as they had siackers from other
lines OF work. Some farmers failed
to prove their loyalty, Just as some
lawyers. some doctors, some mer-
chants and some others failed.
Uncle Sam has been the farmers
biggest customer. He bought more
farm products than anyone else. Uncle
Sam was the feeder Of many mouths
In his armies and navies he had nearly
4,000, 900, men. And as Uncle Sam Is
still the biggest customer, the greatest
buyer of farm products. He has hun
dreds Of thousands OF men still In
the service. He will have a big navy
and big army for months yet, even
at the best. A demand has been Great
ed abroad for farm products that will
make strong demands upon the farm.
err Millions of dollars of foodstuffs,
grown on American dirt by American
farmers, will produce
farmers, will pass on its way tc
Europe.
Uncle Sam has paved the way for
the American farmer to sell his pro-
duce abroad. The way seems to have
been paved for American farm pros
perity for good many years. Not
war prosperity. Of course, but some
thing very near 1t. It looks like the
farmer should be able to dispose of
all he can produce for q good while
now.
Has the farmer been appreciative
Of these things? Has he met his old
Uncle Samuel about halfway in the
big tObsf Well. It has been argued
and 1t has been disputed. Doubtless
the farmer has taken care Of his share
Of the undertaking. But whether he

PAID FOR FAULT OF EMPRESS
How Foot.stuntino Of Chinese Women,
With Its Accompanying Aoonies,
Was Originated.

A small foot was at one time more
greatly desired by the women Of China
than any other item Of feminine beau
~. How the practice of stunting
the, feet originated is told by
Henry Charles SIR In "Chlna as De-
pcribed by Great Writer'S" He says:
f'The empress Of an emperor, who
feigned In China 'befOre the food
was found by her llege lord near the
apartment Of one OF the principal off,
GERS of the household. y who chad the
repptati0A Of being q lady-killer. Re
ceIving from the emperor q severe
repfimand the frightened woman
pleaded i'd her. defense that It was not
her fault. but the fault OF her feet.
which we're so very large they bore
her to the forbidden precincts against
her will. Thereupon the emperor or
dered the fore part of her feet ampu-
tated. To conceal the fact the en-
press announced that she was to in
troduce a new fashion Of small feet,
and all about her were ordered to do
likewise. ----
At six years of age the Chinese girl
started to curb her feet. The foot,
below the Instep. was forced into
une with the leg, the toes then
doubled down under the sole of the
foot, the big toe being made to over
lap the others. Bandages were then
applied with horrible pressure, and
Sor six weeks the child suffered in
tOlerablO agony. After this period
the pain subsidized and the child could
totter about. on the stumps This Gus
tom was abolished, with other relics
Of early Chinese practices, by royal
edIct several years ago.

TO ENFORCE CHILD LABOR
TAX DESPITE DECISION

Washington, Mya G.-Intention Of
the internal revenue bureau to en-
force the child labor provision Of the
revenue law, despite the action of
the federal district court in declar-
ing the measure unconstitutional,
was indicated by announcement that
20 women agents who have been en-
ployed to issue age certificates to
children in communities where local
age records are not adequate.
The women viii continue at their
work pending a final decision by the
supreme court, to which the case
probably will be appealed.

MATER OF sELF.REsPEcr

The Government does not want any
man who actually is financially unable
to buy Victory Liberty Note (short.
term bond) to purchase. But 1t does
want every man who il able. even by
skimping, to do 80. It is up to the In
dividual to decide this question. On
the decision depends whether the in
dividual is patriot or Stacker. The
man who is able and does not buy
cannot have the respect of even him
self.

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and

and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually bNing
advertised fer the purpose of making thin
people fleshy, developing arms, neck and

angles by the soft curved lines of health
aud beauty. there are evidently thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thtnness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
giats as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pehsive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance: the increase

This increase in weight also carries

Owing to failure of the street rail-

crossing with freight and yard trains
North Topeka was practically with

minutes. The break in service oc-
CURED between 1880 and Sis o'clock.
The street railway company failed
to maintain schedules for about half
an hour, a thing which has happened
with more or less regularity on many
city lines in the last three weeks. The
first cars to start from Garfield park
on the return trip were loaded be-
tween the park and the Shorey line
terminal the result being that those
waiting between the Shorey terminal
and the Kaw river bridge were with
out transportation to work for almost
an hour.
After cars began running schedules
were further disorganized by freight
trains and switch trains at the Union
Pacific crossing. Several times the
crossing was blocked in excess of five
minutes. the maximum provided by
city ordinance.
