CORSET Of TODAY
No Indication of the Waistline
Becoming Smaller.
iy Low. Not Very Long and
Lightly 6oned.

The evolution of the corset is ex-
tremely interesting, observes writer
in the New York Tribune. Its Ameri-
can history dates back to the days of
the Pilgrims, when the first article of
this character was made In this coun-
try. These God-fearing people woye
the material by hand, leaving IL in its
natural gray state. To bone the cor
set they used whalebone, which they
sewed I'm by hand-and this garment
was not lightly boncd as 1t is in these
days. The WhalebOnes were placed so
close 10 one another that one row Of
stitching supported a bone at either
side OF IT,
Unlike the corset Of today, this
primitive one covered the body from
the waistline upward, leaving the hips
practically unprotected. Reaching
from ones chest to waist, it gradually
diminished IN size toward the latter
point, where 1t again wldened slightly,
ending not more than two inches be-
low the waiStlne. The top and bot
tom edges were finished with IA white
leather binding.
During recent years-clothes having
taken TO straight lnes-mahy women
of both France and America have
worn either no corset at all or one
quite lightly boned. Gradually, how
ever, they are beginning TO perceive
the need OF some support, however
Slight it may be. Particularly is this
true Of the French woman, who was
the originator OF the corsetless mode,
according 10 an interview with the
head Of one OF our largest American
manufacturing concerns, who recently
returned from Paris.
The women OF America are under
the impression that their French Sis
ters have entirely dispensed with cor
sets. This is inaccurate, because what
we term "A short corset or girdle they
classify as a belt.
There is no change whatever In the
lines OF corSets. At present there is
no indication of the waistline becoh-
ing smaller. If anything, the waist is
larger. The prevalent style in France
is model extremely low, not very
long and quite lightly boned. For
evening wear the backs are entirely
cut away. So many French women
have returned 10 the corset in the past
month that sales have increased 81
per cent.

Children Crippled
With Bovine T. B.

Lansing, June IBIS it possible to
contract tuberculosis from cows
milk? Science has declared EN-
phatically that it is possible and
common. But too frequently for
the health of their children people
have refused to believe the verdict.
Only a few weeks ago The Michigan
Business Farmer published an edi-
torial on Bovine tuberculosis" which
appeared to question this enlightened
verdict.
Now listen to the wholly practical
belief of a farmer living at Kingsley,
Michigan: about 10 years ago /
purchased some registered Short
Horn cattle. now realize the dis
ease (tuberculosis) has been in my
herd ever since, though did not know
it until year ago. IL has complete
ly cleaned me out Of cattle.
about eight years ago we found
that the spine of one of our children
was getting crooked. The doctors
did rot say what caused it, but said
it looked bad for the boy. Plenty Of
fresh air night and day, and good
food saved him, but it left him with
a slight spinal curvature and a
shrunken lung. Three of my younger
children, and possibly fourth, have
now apparently contracted the dis
ease.
There is a slight difference in the
germs that caused bovine and human
tuberculosis. 1t does not follow,
however, that bovine tuberculosis is
not transmissible to human beings. In
fact, majority of the tuberculous
children are apparently afflicted with
the bovine type. Gain to the live
stock industry through the eradica-
tion of tuberculosis is incalculable.
But many who value the lives of
their children would prefer to reverse
this idea and say, If there is a pos
sibility Of numbering our children
through infection from milk from
tuberculous cows, destroy every re-
acting animal, even though we must
suffer an economic loss-which is
doubtful
"Where did our children get tuber-
culosis? We know of no way ex-
cept from the cows, as our families
are all free from any faint Of the dis
ease. The children have never, to
our knowledge, come in contact with
the disease from any other source"
