By Dr. ADELAIDE MILLS of New York. .! x is not only sad, but outrageous and almost uncivilized, the way iu which women of. today take their lives in their hands by dressing as they do. They seem to have NO REGARD FOR THE LAWS OF HEALTH, if they know anything about them, and every day the victims offered to tho Goddess of Fashion are increasing. BY THEIR PRESENT STYLE OF DRESSING THEY ARE NOT ONLY ENDANGERING THEIR OWN HEALTH AND LIVES, BUT THEY ARE MENACING THE COMING GENERATION, AND IF SUCH FASH IONS AND MODES CONTINUE WE CAN EXPECT NOTHING MORE NOR LESS THAN A RACE OF WEAKLlKiGS. "What are the points in present dress that ore so dangerous? They RUN FROM THE CROWN OF HER HEAD TO THE TIP OF HER TOE and arc throe in number hats, corsets and shoes. In the misuse of these three articles you quickly bring about tho deterioration of a race. There are MORE WOMEN SUFFERING FROM NERVOUS DISORDERS AND HEADACHES TODAY than ever before, and if you will ask any physician I am certain he will agree with rac that it is due to this exaggerated and unhealthy mode of dressing from head to foot, both in under and outer garment.

X is impossible to ignore the fact that there is a deep ij seated and growing DISTRUST of both our political t &n(l financial stability throughout Europe. This ha3 ? become true for the first time in my experience, in I "Fnirlnnfl na Trrll na nn triA rnntmTit Our manifest inability to deal promptly and ef fectively with corporate abuses from which we are suffering seems to have destroyed their confidence in us. As a result, they are afraid pf our securities as permanent investments. They are the speculative football of every stock exchange in Europe, duo to our IGNO RANCE OF THE SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT AS APPLIED TO THE CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS. THEIR GREATEST DANGER LIES IN THEIR POWER, FIRST, TO ENHANCE PRICES AND THUS REAP ABNORMAL PROFITS; SEC OND, TO STIFLE NEW COMPETITION BY PIRATICAL METHODS, AND, THIRD, TO PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW INVEN TIONS. I SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING REMEDY FOR THE EXISTING SITUATION strictions, let us ENFORCE THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PRO VISIONS OF THE SHERMAN LAW UNTIL EVERY TRUST HAS BEEN FORCED TO SUB JECT ITSELF TO CONTROL and allow no other corporations engaged in interstate business to operate under state charters if they come within the regulations of coneress.

The commission should have power summa rily to INVESTIGATE ALL COMPLAINTS OF OPPRES SION AND UNFAIR COMPE TITION and to direct criminal prosecution and suits to forfeit the charters and disband all corpora tions so offending.
