THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURft. KEDUCE STOUTNESS. Superfluous Fleeri About Hlpa Worn Away By Using Certain Mus cle and Regular Exercise. It seemed to me at one time wholly unnecessary to say anything mora about exorcises that would roiluce hips and abdomen, for I thought evry woman miint know what they wero. yet repeated letters asking how tho result enn be achieved make It evi dent that many are cither Ignorant of the method, or have forgotten II, and for the benefit of those it is given again. Before saying anything describing tho exercises I would make it an em phatic as I could that unless they are done faithfully, at least onco a day, and preferably twice, and unless all the physical strength one has Is put Into them they will be useless. H;an ntodic effort is time thrown nway, m is also half hearted action. Then) must bo force and swing. Not lifforo a month of daily exerclso has clup.ic 1 can one expect to see a change, hut it mie has courage and patience, huc?c4 will follow. These are the cxercisys taken several years ago by l.ill.i.i Kussell to regain nor youthful figure, and she is surely a personiiicutlou of the efficacy of physical culture. In beginning tho exercises it is probable that five minutes will be ex hausting and in that case they Hho;;l 1 ho stopped, and resumed inter in tho day. Persistent effort will ninke It possible to do them fifteen minutes and biter even half an hour. Tho 1 i.-,t is tho proper length of timo. Tlio subject should In the end be tired, but not exhausted. Deep brenthlng Is a necessary part of nil exercises. Of course no oorscii are worn. Begin by standing firmly on Ik t'i foot, draw in the muscles of the ab domen and inhale a deep breath as the arms are raised high above tho head till the thumbs meet. Bend back lrom the waist with tho amis ullll raised, resume natural original po.iO, and whllu exlinling bring tho urr.ia down with a sweep until the fluxer tips touch the floor without bonding the knees. A stout woman wlh not he able to brlnjj her flnguru to tha floor until she has tried many times, hut by degrees she can accomplish it. When she does sho may know that already tho abdomen Is decreasing. Do not hurry with the exercise, and under no consideration bend the knees. Repeat at least Ave times, and as many more as you can. Then, still standing, make the arm limp, or "devitalize" as it is technically called, and bend first one side and then the other from the wrist as far as one can. In all these exercises keep the bios rigid. The next motion is to twist tho body around first one side and then the other as far as one can without wrenching, and without allowing th3 hi'is to move. This is well called a "wringing" exercise, and is excellent to cure indigestion and wear away flcr.h. It should be done so that the muscles and cords stretch. "ore difficult, but not to be neglect ed, is the effort to stand on one foot raising tho other, then clasping" tho hands about the knee to draw it as closo to the chest as possible. This ur.y not he done at all until after many frislUcxj endeavors, but it Is worth persisting in. Do It with one knee and then with the other. The lurt exerclso is one to be spe cially reenmniei.ded to business wo men who sit much at a desk. Tho constant weight of tho trunk on tha Itijis instead of tho feet, is likely ta develop them to undesirable size, ami this exercisa taken twice a day will kt" p them down: .r-.it villi tho toTrio held comfortably eiv.t. Draw in tho abdomen, inflate the chest and put the finger tips to the Kl-.ouhler.i. Then twist the body from tho waist up as far as possible, l::t to right and then to tho loft with O'.M moving the hips. It is the "wring to;;" exercise done sitting. All this Is troublesome and takes Une, I know, but a woman cannot expect to change her figure without rr):. This Is safe and sure, and it fe icnds upon bereeif whether sho will be elender or through lack of trtort havo a homely figure that de rive:) the name. Telegram. Lsjjr.tiala of a Successful Kitchen.

SOUTHERN RAILROADS- ICffect on Them and tho Publle ol Regulation for Political Purposes. Tho halt which tins come to rail road construction In tho South In ronseqience of agitation threatening Inves ivents In railroads promises to occasion serious hindrances to agri culture, manufactures and commerce, At tho very time when Industry In all its branches was expanding with wonderful vigor and rapidity, tie manning grentcr anj greater facili ties :r traffic, and while tho rail roads wero doing their utmost to meet those requirements, came the flood of legislation to cut down the profits of the corporations Just when they were most needed; needeJ, too, for expenditures to supply necessary track equipment and other facilities for transporting people and freight In the advancement of the business Interest: of the country. But that wns not all the evil wrought by such laws. They check ed In Its flew toward the South, money so much demanded for devel opment of new railroad and other en terprlsps and have .caused a halt to progress. Had there been any gen eral and substantial outcry against the railroads for widespread injustice In their freight or passenger traffic some excuse might have been found for the passage of regulatory acts, but there was little such agitation, and therefore the conclusion Is forced upon tno observer that tho responsibility for the passing of such laws lies mainly with the com paratively few politicians, inspired by selfish motives, perhaps of a re talla'ory nature. Yet It Is to tho future that one must look for the worst effect of these laws. Commerce and Industry are making greater demands upen the railroads fcr adequate facilities, Dtit the companies are hard pressed for money, and orders for new chm and engines havo fallen off trerr.en do a y as comparpd with last year, al though there has net been any left? in tVe rush of freight, end most of the roads are handling mere business than ever. Necessarily there must ccme time when another great congestion of tiafllc will occur, caus ing both em mrrassment and loss to various branches of human enter prise and labor. The money to pro vide thwe things which the railroads neor" is not to bo had except at pro fa jit ve rates of Interest, and bor rowing bus o bo done by means of shor time notes for meeting press Ing requirements. The outcome of suci' conditio Is plain enough. It might bo easier had not labor and evarythlng else which the railroads need advanced in cost, but these In creases In operating expenses, cou pled with demised earning power tho new lawB, have put tha compnrles at their wits' end for the hanging of their finances. To sum It u.i the sltuatlou Is this: The railroads nead more funds to mset the needs of their patrons. Rates of interest demanded by "a Ital are higher than ever for rail road enterprises; too high for the railroads to afford. How, then, can they prevent mother congestion o( triffle and loss to business? From The PrllVn ihm.
