Starvation, she asserted ts the only road to slimness but not one woman in a thousand has enough self denial and will power to be- come slim.

RANGES SHOW IMPROVEMENT The ranges in the North Rocky Mountain, Intermountain and Coast states improved during March, while the ranges of the southwest declined from lack of moisture. Cattle and sheep in the better range areas showed an improvement, but lost condition in the southwest according to the monthly range and livestock report issued by the United States Division of crops and livestock esti- mates. Ranges improved in Montana. and the western parts of the Dakotas and Nebraska due to early spring and good moisture conditions, while in Wyoming, Colorado and western Kansas dry conditions, which were later improved by rains, held ranges on about the same basis as last month, In:the southwest, dry con- ditions generally’ to hold. back’ the grass and feed is short, local show- ers have helped out generally, ranges are not as good as @ month ago. In the Intermountain Region, ranges are improving after the dry season of 1924 and the spring range outlook is good. California ranges are very promising with good mols- ture conditions. The condition of the ranges fs 80 per cent compared with 79 pér cent last month and 91 per cent one year ago. Cattle In the states east of the Rockies and north of Oklahoma and New Mexico have wintered in good shape and are going on to the range in better shaps than usual. Cattle in the southwest are thin and the shortage of feed is causing a further decline. In Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon cattle are showing a Iit- tle gain after a dry year, the mild winter has helped, and the feed sup- ply has been ample. California cat tle are in very shape.
