life. Don't bother to read 1t, but
my dear young clients, harken to
my words.
You are throwing away your
vitality, the fresh look upon your
face, by your total disregard for the
old fashioned. "contraption," called
corsets. Most OF you undoubtedly
will say that you never owned one,
that they are not necessary. So, /
am taking all of this space just
to tell you that, II in ten years
you want as nice a figure az you
have now, corsets are the most
essential thing on earth.
Lack Of Exercise.
No American girl, unless she
comes from the country Of the great
open spaces, gets enough exercise
to have the truly divine athletic
figure. Perhaps on Sunday morning
you do get out and ride little
in Rock Creek Park or play
couple of sets OF tennis, even then
I'll wager you are willing to let
a week elapse before you try it
again.
I've been trying to think. Of an
appropriate word to describe the
way you look in those sport dresses,
and cannot forget the first one
that came into my mind. / will
have to tell you they are the most
hideous things l ever saw unless
you stand up straight all Of the
time. And most Of you forget to
do that at all.
Waist lines have left the hips!
The long.waisted dress is some.
thing OF the past, the best dressed
girls are wearing their belts around
their natural waist line.
Excellent Shops Here.
These little flannel frocks that
have become so very popular must
be worn with the belts around the
waist twice. Now when our grand.
mothers wanted to have good look
ing small waists. they wore corsets,
all you want Is a natural waist
line and to even attain that you
must wear girdles.
Washington boasts Of excellent
corset shops. have several in mind
as ] write where you may obtain
excellent advice on the subject, /
cannot give 1t to you, for I am
not a corsetiere. All that / can do
is to tell you that corsets are com.
ing into their own, and shortly
they will have a wide spread popu.
larity. Possibly this isn't much of
q fashion article, but it is the foun.
dalton that either improves or
wrecks the most perfect gown.

do real. constructive work has driven many men
of consequence out Of the game Of politics.
These last years have demonstrated that
nolitical success is not q matter of merit but
rather a matter Of charming the electorate with
tunes played upon the harp Of prejudice.
Cheap trickery is what it amounts TO.
But that is not the kind of tune the Lac qui
Parle county man has been playing.
He has been telling the people that they nave
all these years been paying too much Tor their
whistle" He has had the courage to say where
in the people themselves have Numbered in this
matter of taxes. He has told them that they
can not have the best of everything and still ex-
pect to pay but a nominal sum for it all.
He is not out with some tax reform program
that can not be worked. He has no special the
DRY on the subject Of taxation.
He is not asking the people to try out some
thing new.
In fact Mr. Christensen is not asking tn
people to do anything. But he is telling then.
that if they continue to vote taxes upon them
selves and if the system of piling overhead"
on top of overhead" is kept up, there is bound
to come a time when there is going to be a crash.
He is telling the people that if they are
bound to dance all the latest dances and step the
latest steps, they will have to have fiddler who
knows the tunes, and they will have TO pay him
accordingly.
There is nothing new about what ne says
There is nothing new about the statement that
you can't have and spend at the same time.
There is nothing new about the statement that
'sthe old war-horse", J. F. jacobson, of Madison,
made at the Republican convention last Satur-
day, namely, that if we want to get back to norm
al conditions we must learn to "pay as we go
along"
These are just homely, everyday truths
but they are the truths that the people need tc
realize.
The people have to be called back 20 earth
They are joyriding in aeropanes just now
1t is not new systems that we need--just
common sense.
1t matters not what office they eject Theo
dore Christensen to, he is going to preach th>
gospel of economy and practice the principle of
physically, mentally and officially keeping his
feet on the ground.
Our taxes are high but they would be still
higher were it not for the excellent work OF Theo-
dore Christensen as chairman of the appIopria
TONS committee-so why not more of led and
less of taxes?

Tom Davis has announced himself car
tie for governor. That was sure to start so,
ingA-and it did; it started the following iii
gument between Tom and Charley Cheney
e Primary Law. Charley has the last word
and we think has sort of backed Tim
e corner.
"Tom Davis, in his announcement as
candidate for governor. says the "inter
ests' in Minnesota recently Succeeded
in repeating the primary law
Having done this, they Were able for
some time to pick their own candidates
without giving the people any choice in
the matter" he says. "The members Of
the nonpartisan league and the labor
members of the legislature, under the i'll
SEPARATION and movement of OLE cause,
forced the re-enactment of the primary
law, and we all realize that it was after
a hard struggle that the people we've
again given the right to choose their
nominees"
.sPardon the inquiry, but when did all
this happen?
"There was a bill passed in 1921 to
provide for pre-primary conventions, but
it did not touch the primary Jaw. Ep-
erybody had a right to file and party
nominees were picked in the primaries.
The rank and file had the same "choice
in the matter" that they had before
Dissatisfaction with this law forced
its repeal at the next session, but the de-
mand for repeal came from all paroles
and was based mainly on the expense of
the conventions, as being not warranted
by the results. The repeal bill was
House File 100, introduced by l.. o. Tel
gen, republican, and j. B. Gislason,
democrat. The bill passed with only
seven negative votes in the house and
one in the senate. Not very "hard
struggle" and certainly not the achieve
ment of the "nonpartisan league and la
Dor members"
"a recent issue of the Farmer-Labor
Advocate scolds the legislature for put
ting over a sort of woodchuck in this

state central committee by the party
nominees. AS to that, the legislature
merely restored the provisions of the
1912 law, which had been eliminated by
the 1921 act. No one suggested any am
endment, though the system certainly
is omen to criticism. "-Chas. Cheney IN

No decent woman thought of going
alone into the street after dark.

MORE TED AND LESS TAXES.
(The Minneota Mascot)

(The Minneota Mascot)
-HEODORE CHRISTIANSON gave short
talk on the subject of taxation, at the Re-
L publican convention in Willmar last Friday
which made the two hundred people gathere
there sit up and take notice.
Few men in the state know much about
taxation as this man Theodore. He has been
chairman of the committee Appropriations of
the house in the Minnesota Legislature for four
sessions.
He has come in contact with every phase OF
the tax subject and it may be said that he knows
the needs of the state in this matter as but few
others do.
Mr.. Christensen thinks that the people al 2
spending too much for improvements that could
be well dispensed with He believes that the
taxes are too high because we have too many
people who are either making business of
boosting for the things that make for higher
taxes or else making their living in some Of the
state and national activities that could be dis
pensed with.
Too expensive school houses, 100 elaborate
public buildings too enthusiastic road program,
too many inspectors-in Short too much govern
ment That was the burden of the talk Mr..
Christensen gave.

ARE: Listen!
"Kenwood Methodist Church, Milwau-
kee, has developed the silent service;
that is, there is not syllable spoken or
sound provoked beyond the part neces-
sarily taken by the pastor, choir, or con-
gregation. There is no announcement of
hymn, no statement that now The "eol-
lectors will wait upon the congregation
for their morning Offering no word of
announcement of the numerous activities
of the week to come. Each succeeding
part of the service fits silently onto the
e one preceding with remarkable effect.
The pastor, the Rev. H. J. Root states
that he saves at least twenty minutes IN
time and the service is enhanced decid-
eddy. This method of having the service
conduct itself requires a weli-trained
organist and choir and degree of con-
gregational instruction. We confess we
have never experienced a self-directmg
service of this sort. We fancy the effect
would be decidedly and strikingly spiri-
tual. There is entirely too mach coach
