DEFENDS THE CORSET
EXPERT COMMENDS ARTICLE OF
APPAREL AS ESSENTIAL.
Or. Landone Says They Were Evolved
from Ancient Instrument of Tor-
ture— Would Drive Away Fatigue
with Music and Cheer.
ljos Angeles, Cal,— Dr. L. E. Lan-
done, whose plan to Improve the hu-
man race by applying Luther Bur-
bank's plant theories in the training
af children by selection lias brought
considerable attention front the scien-
tific world, commends the modern cor-
set. Addressing the members of the
Hundred Year club, the leadiug wom-
an's organization of Los Angeles, he
said:
“Corsets, the sort worn to-day, are
good for the reason that the torso mus-
cles have been weakened for genera-
tions, until now the average female
form will not stand without them.
“In the time of Queen Elizabeth."
continued Landone, "they wore steel
corsets lightly buckled in back and
front. They were instruments of tor-
ture. From them are evolved the com-
fortable corsets of to-day. 1 doubt if
the torso muscles of women could be
supported in their weakened condition
after a generation of corset wearing
except for some artificial prop."
In addition to placing indorsement
on many things that health faddists
and physical teachers heretofore have
scorned and in pulling to pieces some
of the time-honored theories of the
medical profession, Landone dweB on
the value of cultivating love, cheerful-
ness and good thoughts toward man-
kind. For, he said, the body in sub
stance is composed of chemicals and
is at the mercy of '-he emotions
Anger, hatred and sorrow will poison
the fluids of the body, while love,
cheerfulness and happiness serve to
make the blood pure, healthful and
normal.
“Anger and hatred will poison the
fluids of the woman's body," declared
TWINS RIVALS IN COLLEGE.
| the speaker. "Many instances, 60 or
100 years ago, and of recent date, were
found where sorrow and fear j9tin
diced the system, not for a few days
but permanently, and where ravet
locks turned white in 20 minutes from
intense fear.
"Pleasure stimulates. That is why.
wtien tired and worn, especially when
young, an evening gay with dancinc
and music will remove all signs of
fal.gue and one will be more re.-t d
the day following thau if he should
yield to an attempt to sleep the fa
tigtie off.
"Wo should move according to
curves. Motion should be adapted to
muscles. The Greeks were the great-
est people in the world because they
knew and applied these principles A
wave of spiral exercises should be
part of one's daily life. One should
be indulged in musical aecompani
ment. Not only does this serve to
stimulate and develop the body along
graceful lines, blit also serves to equal
ize circulation, eliminate poisons and
otherwise aid the system."
Bible ThieFs Only Loot.
Wilmington. Del.—About the mean
i ost thief yet discovered is the person
who has stolen three Bibies from in-
Lower Brandywine Presbyterian
| church, near Centerville. The pastor.
Rev. J. Newton Kugier. discovered
that a big memorial Bible presented
! to the church by cne of the members
! of the congregation was mirsing fro
the pulpit when he sought to read his
text from it on Sunday. A search
failed to reveal the Bible, but resulted
in the discovery that the Bibles in
each of the two chapels had been
taken. Who the thief is or why the
Bibles were taken is a mystery.

YOUNG GIRL MAKES SALE OF
PROPERTY FOR $200,0C0.
*
eighteen.Year Cld Stenographer of j
Denver Shoe* Western Pluck In
Handling Business During
Absence of Employer.
Denver.—Out In the wilds of Wy-
iruing in years ago, on one of the
big cow rumps, there raiun into ex-
istence a sir mile of humanity. The
howj of the coyote, the screech of the
-agio and the worry song of the row
buy i.i hla round-up fitted tunefully to
■he lusty cry of the babe.
It was an advent to western life tin-
ier western coi ditloni The tittle hu-
uun bud, )>oin of the plains, reared
and educated by nature among the
carmine Noranmx of the cacti and the
utorous sage-brush. Imbued with 'he
natural Instinct of slapping the brand-
ing iron on the calf when it Is roped,
has pushed her way Into commercial
Importance In u manner that many u
:lred business man might well envy.
For an 18 year-old girl to turn a
$200,000 deal Is no common occur-
rence. It would cause many a man of
the great commercial world to chest
up a bit, tiut when Miss Lulu E.
Thomas of Denver Induced eastern
capitalists to "sign up" for nearly u
quarter of a million of dollars she
showed no signs of having done any-
thing out of the ordinary, but turned
around to her typewriter and. with a
sigh of reli« f which meant: "Well, I
hope the Ik>ss will bo pleased," she
commenced the old grind of getting
ut dictations.
Miss Thomas entered the employ of
a local mining company about two
years ago, when she was but 16. She
has learned the business from top to
bottom, and a week ago when her em-
ployer found It necessary to be out
if the city for a few days he left the
-irl in charge with instructions to
j sell the Snngre de Cristo mine if
you get a chance.”
Negotiations had been under head-
way some time with eastern capital-
ist for the Sangre de Cristo mine, in
southern Colorado, but matters were
iragging very unsatisfactorily. Two
days after Miss Thomas had been left
u charge of the office in the Temple
''ourt building. Fifteenth and Califor-
nia streets, a lawyer and two other
gentlemen called.
"What can we do for you?" asked
the girl.
"O h. nothing. I am afraid," replied
the lawyer, with a look of disappoint-
ment. "We came here to see about the
Sangre de Cristo mine, but you say
the boss will not be back for a week?"
"That is true; but possibly 1 can at-
tend -to the matter,” said tbe little
stenographer.
"Well, it's a pretty big deal, and—
pardon me—but I hardly think we bet-
ter take it up now,” and the lawyer
’ooked upon the wee mite of a girl in
a sort of "you-think you-can-but you-
can’t" way, and the callers started
out.
"Now. look here." said the girl, in
true western style, "if you mean busi-
ness and want that mine you better
ake it, and take it right now, too.
You are not the only buyers after the
Sangre de Cristo mine. and. besides, 1
car-o lose the deal if you want it."
This was an eye-opener. The man
sat down, talked the matter over
carefully, and in half an hour the
whole deal had been transacted, the
papers having been previously signed
and Miss Thomas duly authorized to
close the deal.
It was one of the biggest deals that
have been turned for some time, and
Miss Thomas is receiving congratula-
tions. A good-sized check and a va-
cation on "full pay" were her reward.

•‘When n>y little boy was sis weeks
utu an eruption broke out on his lace,
i toe'; him to n doctor, but Ills face
kept on getting worse until it got so
had that no one could look at him
His whole- face w-as one crust and
must have been very painful. He
scratched day and night until his face
was raw. Than i took him to all tb<
best specialists in skin diseases but
they could not do much for him. The
eczema got on his arms and legs and
we could not. get a night's sleep In
months. I got a set of Cuticura Reme-
dies and he felt relieved the first time
I used them. 1 gave the Cuticura

Tune Kerrmt Whistled.
Mr. W. W. Miller, a well-known law-
yer, tells an anecdote of Kermit Roose-
velt. the president's son.
"I was acting as steward.” says Mr.
Miller, "in some gymkhana races at
Oyster Bay a few weeks ago, and one
of the events was a race in which the
contestants had ta ride a given dis-
tance to a certain spot where an equal
number of young ladies stood with
pencil, jiaper and envelope. Each
rider had to dismount here and whis-
tle a tune, the lady writing its name
down on the paper. She then had to
seal it up in the envelope and hand
it to the rider, who remounted and
finished the race, delivering the en-
velope to the judges’ stand. The first
one in with a correct answer won the
event.
"As steward, I was deputized before
the race to write down the name of
the tune each entrant would whistle.
"What are you going to whistle?" i
asked young Kermit.
“I'm going to whistle ‘Everybody
\\ orks but Father.’ " said the presi-
dent s son.
FOR THE LADY OR THE AUTO.

The brothers are twins, and both j
graduated from Princeton in the class
of 1S76. Iu college they roomed to- •

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.
The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
“A year ago. after recovering from
an operation." writes a Mich. lady, "my
stomach and nerves began to give me
much trouble.
“At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when indulged, indigestion
followed. Other times 1 had no appetite
whatever. The food I took did not
nourish me, and I grew weaker than
ever.
1 lost interest in everything, and
wanted to be alone. I had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trifle
would upset me and bring on a vio
'•
room was an effort and prescribed ex-
ercise was out of the question.
"1 had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read, at
the time. At last when it seemed as
if I were literally- stai
eat Grape-Nuts. »
"I had not been ab'.e to v.-erk for
a year, but now after two months on
Grap -N ;ts i am eager to be at wo-k
again. My stomach gives me no trou-
ble now. my nerves are steady as
ever, and interest in life and ambition
have came back with the return to
health."

Young Queen is Popular
The young queen of Spain becomes
more and more popular r.mong her
i husband's subjects, and the b-arless
i way in which she walks practically
unattended about Madrid, has pleased
: the people immensely. Her majesty's.
bright coloring and beautiful golden
j hair are greatly admired and she of-
' ten hears praise cf her charms ex
pressed aloud in lowly Spanish fash
! ion. Quaint exclamations, such as
"Blessed be your mother." greet
Queen Victoria Eugenie wherever
she goes, and, before she understood
j Spanish customs, she one day caused
great amusement to King Alfonso by
remarking, on returning to the palace
after a shopping expedition: "How
fond the people seem to be of mam-
i ma."
Cheap Gas Production
Prof. Blau, of Germany has discov-
ered a new process or developing il-
luminating gas that may be bought
by the bottle at the rate of 15 cents
a pound. A 22-pound cylinder at If*
cents a pound would give a 50-eandlo
power light for four months used four
hours a day. That is to say, the cost
would be 1 1-7 cents an Hour, or, say,
$1.25 a month, or even less.— Brook-

Future for Egypt
An Egyptian paper says that the na-
tive families i ay an average tax of
$4.6.') an acre, or 2S.3 per cent, of the
1 crop. Foreigners and land companies
hold 655,000 acres. Through their in
j solvency and liquidation, and the re-
distribution of tbe estates formed
i since 1902, ii is probable that large
amounts of gold may be uuhoarded.
