''Cure Your
 Rupture Like
 ! Cured mine''
Old Sea Captain Cured His Own Rupture After Doctors Said Operate or Death"
His Remedy and Book Sent Free.

Captain Ceilings sailed the seas for many years; then he sustained . bad double rupture that soon forced him to not only remain ashore, but kept him bedridden for years. He tried doctor after doctor and truss after truss. No results Finally, he was assured that he must either submit to q dangerous and abhorrent operation or die. He did nsitherl He cured himself instead.

therefore, that he will plunge to the right, raise the cry of boishevtsm to discredit labor and seek to capture stray liberal support on the ground of the success of his Irish policy and the pursuit of the Gladstone tradi- tons in the Near East.
 Will Not Resign
 One thing generally Is agreed. He will not resign. He knows that tho chief source of power is possession of office and that once he is robbed of this power recovery would be problematical. His aim, therefore, will be to keep in the shadow of coalition even though the substance has gone and decide the date and is- sue of the general election rather than leave that advantage to others.
 The strength of his position is the poverty of the tory leadership. Chamberlain, Churchill and Birken- head all have fallen and there is no outstanding figure to lead any TO- volt there against Lloyd George dio- tatorship. The present impression Is that he will force the election before Christmas.
 What will be tho resultf It ia most problematical. There Is an over whelming feeling against coalition and there may be landslide against It's continuance by the tory voters. In this case the liberal and labor parties would be enormously strengthened. It now is estimated that labor may secure one-third of tho House of Commons, the tories rather moro and the liberals less-
 Would labor take office with the liberals? It Is more than doubtful. Meanwhile we await the declaration of the election and m outburst of anti-bolshevism with Lloyd George playing the role of St. George slay- ing the suppositious dragon.

For the average girl 1t Is one or those things that can't be done. Three years or so ago the average corset size, according to the records of sun dry Fifth avenue corsetieres, was 2b inches. Today, the average size, on the word of the same authorities, ls 27 inches. Few of the shops keep on hand a corset of smaller than size 24. which. as things go today, Is an un- usually small waist measure In the past 13 years the American feminine waist line has taken unto itself six additional inches, and the masculine arm that decade ago needed a reach of only around twenty. must now let out sufficient joints to encompass something around the thirty mark.
 Venus Was Big Girl
 It is all very well to recall that the Venus de Milo has a waist meas ure of about a yard. Venus was a great big girl, while the modern Ideal beauty Is creature much more slender. It Is all very well to point out that If the American woman had not in the past three years gone in for mere wispy girdles or for no corsets whatever she wouldn't have progressed so far in athletics, nor in the development of waist line which fashion decreed exist at the hips if 1t existed anywhere.
 Fashion has changed her deoree. and these reflections get tho modern American woman nowhere, least of all into the oorsets that onos fitted her exactly or wore even the teeniest bit too big. For after three years of unprecendented freedom in such mat ters the American woman is faced with the necessity of getting back to the normal waist line. And the dire truth obtains that the normal waist limo in these United States is two Inches more abnormal than it used to be.
