STATEMENT has been published that the women A who statement are must suffragists have will been not made wear by corsets. some slim, Such old a maid who "never did like the horrid old things, anyway." Corsets are an absolute necessity to womanhood. We have seen the girl who wears only a corset waist. She grows heavy over the stomach and abdomen, no matter how thin she may be in limb or body. No woman can look at all decent without a corset, excepting an athlete.

There are some athletic girls who are so stripped of flesh that they are just the same shape with or without a corset. Fat women know what a boon corsets are. Yet nothing is' so distressing as a badly-fitting corset or one that is too" tightly laced. We see many badly-corseted women. The little stout woman, who is so tightly harnessed up that she cannot lean back in a chair or automobile, is as unbeautiful to look at as the thin woman who wears a corset that is too high for her, the bust of which ends under the chin.

Corsets are a necessity to the health of women. They are a support to the ribs and back. They hold the abdomen in place, causing fewer women to be subject to appendicitis than men. If men wore a support around their waists they would have better figures. Any physician will advise both men and women to wear a tight band around their waists, even if the band is no wider than a belt.

A tiny waist line is no longer a mark of beauty. There is positively no necessity for any woman to be laced to the point of distress. A corset should be the most comfortable brace possible. It should be worn from the moment of rising in the morning until the hour of bed-' time. The woman who lounges around the house without a corset has no respect for her figure.

A good figure may molded by a perfectly-fitting corset. The fat will first be pushed aside, then disappear altogether if the corset is worn steadily. Stomachs and abdomens are the most obstinate portions of the figure of a man or a woman. I hope when the women get the suffrage they will not try to imitate men in anything--least of all, in the style of their figures. Remember, we do not know that Venus wore no corsets.

We have never seen her dressed. A 4000 Ada, LILLIAN RUSSELL. Copyright Photo by Schloss, N. Y. from the fact that here is a steady decrease in weight.

Such should remember that it is very both for looks and health to become too thin and not eat enough. Answers to Queries T. -That one person does not get as much sleep as another is no sign of insomnia, for one individual may require much more than his neighbor in order to supply the bodily demands; but when he for years has been able to sleep from 10 p. m. to 6 a.

or eight hours, discovers that for two or more hours out of the 'eight he lies awake, it spite of his desire to sleep, then can it be said he is a victim of insomnia. In some persons the wakeful perlod that immediately following the retiring hour, while others may easily fall into a more less profound, slumber small which hours of lasts the only night. till In other words, a few 'hours' normal sleep is succeeded by a prolonged state of wakefulness in early morning. As the habit becomes more established the period of wakefulness is extended, the victim grows despondent, irritable, emaciated and debilitated, and in not a few instances really dreads the approach of night. MRS.

R. safe general principle to follow in treating the nose and the muscles and skin around it is to bring the blood to the gurgentle tapping, possibly by kneading or pressure; by rubbing, in the case of a red or too fat nose, and to allow the blood to build. that part of the face. It is the presence of fresh blood that pumps and renews the contour and healthful color of the face, and too few realize that a properly tinted nose depends in great measure upon a healthful circulation of. the scalp.

When the substance which underlies scalp and facial cuticle and gives sustenance to hair in the one and contour to the other is by age or ill health the skin and muscles sag and produce wrinkles that are most difficult to remove by a skin-feeding process.a MISS rule for determining the amount of food that one should take is to eat only enough to leave oneself a feeling of satisfaction and wellbeing and not eat too little or too much. One can know when one is eating too little L. one can explain, without investigation and studying every case, the precise cause for flat feet. When the trouble develops later in life it is due oftener then than not to abuse of the feet by wearing unsuitable shoes built SO prevent a tendency to this of weakness. If some folk who wear contrivances designed to help if not cure flat feet had given attention to the shape of their shoes a few years earlier such things as artificial braces, cushions, would not have come their way.

"It's a big subject." said a spe'elalist who has stored in his basement 15,000 lasts representing many individuals and almost as many shapes of feet. "Falling arch is not, as some persons suppose, a question altogether of French heels or of no heels at all, of heredity, or of any one generation. "A high instep may be simulated.
