WAR AND FAMINE.

Deaths by war have amounted TO
about five millions; deaths by ia
mine In the same period exceed twen-
ty millions. according to reports re-
ce'ved by the West Virginia division
OF the Food Administrator.
The hunger map of Europe Just
issued by the Food Administration
shows that many countries are starry
ing emo that unless relief comes
soon additional millions will die from
starvation before next harvest.
These hungry nations look to Am
erica as the most reliable food reser-
yoir. The Food Administration is
asking That we save from our plenty
that America may be able TO feed
these starving millions overseas

Muscles and Makeup.

TN IA RS. Milton Mensendick, addressing
ANH the Twentieth Century club Of
uWU Pittsburg, declared that corsets
and crazy poses were causing women to
lose their muscles, to become sway-backed,
knock-kneeded and knock-armed. One
woman in a recent assemblage where the
gowns were decollete had beautiful and
well-developed back, said the speaker
Women present were heard to remark that
the back was ''queer"
This illustrates what artists call "the
corrupt eye" of the modern American. Net
Knowing the fundamental principles Of
beauty, they admire the grotesque, the i'll
balanced, and are only too apt TO think the
really beautiful, whether in architecture,
interior decoration, dress or the human
yure, is 'queer''
1t is not the figure which has to be freak
ishly corseted, the face which has to be
rouged and hp-sticked which displays any
real or lasting beauty. It is the figure
whose muscles manifest well-rounded de-
velopment from healthy exercise, the face
whose color comes from within, ewes whose
brilliance comes from sound sleep and fac
ing things freely III the sunshine, which
have lovliness.

mind, the walk which is able to accomplish
miles without fatigue, the graceful carriage
which comes from doing real work without
