In fact, the very slim, “slinker-slouch’’ woman is now con- sidered ugly and deformed. The craze for slimness, a beauty specialist said recently produced the irritable woman, the neurotic woman, the nervous woman and the poseuse. “To be healthy,” said the specialist, “a woman should, as «everybody knows, have a full bust and an un- cramped waist.

This is a commendable thing to do. They are a great pest and there are enough now growing and blooming in cow lots and along the streets of Butler to ‘seed the whole county. Nature has provided every little seed—and there are thousands to every plant allowed to bloom and ripen, with a flying machine, and it is a fact of common observation that these seed will fly for miles in an ordinary breeze. A relentless war should be waged on them right now. A little later it will be too late. Every farmer and every owner of a town lot should go out with a grubbing hoe and inspect his premises and leave not one standing to seed his own and his neighbor's premises. ‘This is no trifling matter, blow.—Since writting the foregoing local item our attention has been called to article 13, chapter 4, R.
