HER POISE IS DIRECTOIRE To Be Modish the American Girl Must Change Her Ways.- SOME STUXTS SHE MUST TACKLE Moat Give Up Her Independence of Manner, Learn to Walk Again ad Perhaps Take the Bell I inn- Exercise. NEW YORK, Oct. 1 The woman who la bavins her new frocks built on . the models of long- line and hlpleas effects will have to so Into training- to acquire the proportions, poise and manner that gx with the new fashions. The new clothes are going to be hard for the average woman to wear becomingly. They certainly suggest carriage and bou doir effects and are very different from the trim street costumes generally adopted In this country. There are some styles of dress that are essentially luxurious and foreign In char acter, while others are shaped In their de signs by the Ideas of utility, neatness and hygiene, and the average American woman has adopted the latter Idea almost to a fault. One can always pick her out In a crowd In London or In Farts not only by her straight back but also by her skirt, trimly hung and escaping the ground, un frilled, her washable waists and her hats built on uneztravagant lines, suitable for all occasions, rather than for particular ones. The girl who la endowed with any extra flesh or with the energetic, quick manner and frank, direct gase typical of the fem inine American will have to put on a new personality if she wishes to wear the frilled neck ruche and the long lined gowns and coats that appear In the fashion illus trations this autumn. Imply Can't Walk Fast. In the first place, the new petticoats do not admit of rapid locomotion and It is Bsceeeary to wear them for a while before the person used to the delightful freedom .of the flare skirt can even walk with grace In them. In the new plays put on the stage this fall It will be noticed that the gorgeous gowns prove a serious handicap to the wearers as they enter, walk abou' and, above all, sit down or rise from chairs. Nor can the wearer Iran back with any r .4 I.T , ' I '1 l: FallStvU in & $ The Lanpher , Hat .

Nemo Corsets have exploded the idea that wearing corsets necessarily injures the health. Your corset may give you the extreme "Directoire" . ef fect, and still be healthful and comfortable if you wear a Nemo. Nemo Self-Reducing -Corsets safely accomplish for stout women far better results than could possibly be -attained by fasting, violent exercise or drugs.

And they give you the slender and grace ful ' new figure" at its best. Every Nemo Corset does something for you that no other corset can do. degree of apparent comfort except on chairs and couches that have many cush ions. The clinging sheath skirts are more adapted for the half reclining position that Madame Recamter made famous In her noted portrait. The woman who Is painted In such a gown will alwaya do well to have a greyhound curled at her feet rather than a French bull. v ' Before a woman can wear them at all to advantage she must practice walking In skirts that not only axe extremely nar row, but rest upon the floor, unstlffened for several inches in front and at the sides. While the back trails on the ground con siderably. It la no small feat to walk In such a skirt. Rolling Helps Some. If the would-be IMrectolae girl has . a waist and hips of extra girth she must get rid of them, for the corset alone does not solve the problem of the new gowns. The very beat manner In which to get rid of hips, waist and heavy torso generally is declared by. some to be rolling over and over In the manner of a child rolling down a hill. Indeed, if rolling downhill were possible for grownups It would, readily cure this form of obesity. The rolling process, which must be dons on the floor, looks difficult and unpleasant and requires some determination on the part of the roller. After the first experi ment, no matter how slight, it will be found that the joints ache and there is some stiffness.' Therefore It la best to do the rolling Immediately on rising and be fore a bath on retiring. Boon' the first disagreeable symptoms pass off, the flesh begins to soften up and after a month of the rolling exercises, even once a day, the girth of the hips and torso will have decreased noticeably, while a decided llmberness will exist that Is the true requisite for the short walsted gown. A "large sheet Is spread, upon the floor and the head may be bound In a towel to protect the hair. A dark kimono bath robe, or better yet pajamas, are tbe gar ments for rolling. The roller lies at full length upon the sheet and rolls evenly and firmly, but not rough! over and over again, turning com pletely, the hands over the head or in whatever position position la most com fortables Half a dosen turns are sufficient for the first time. After that the number may be increased. The very stout woman will find the ex--rclse more strenous than the one who Is ierely endeavoring to get off a few 'nches, but she should benr In mind that even the ordinary light gymnastics of the physical culturlsts wMJ result In stiffness and sorenesi often for a wek or more until the flesh and the muscles harden themselves to the processes. Then the d'rectolre girl learns to get Into the hew corsets, to accustom herself to the? idea of tlffhts ra'h-r than petticoats, to ws'k In a gown tint is ready to trip her at every step, to sit down and to rise easOv, to fret Into cars and cabs, climb stairs, kneol In church. Getting; the Poise, But all this is auvoly easy In comparison with the portrait pose and inuuuer, which wiil come hard for the eneigetlc - American woman to master. Yet if she doea not nwdurate, her buoyant iiidependom-e of tone and speech .and ges ture. Iict way of doing things for herself, she will be incongruous In the new vliinsy skirled gown. One actress has taken a regular training in wearing the new gowns end a remark able linproveiuunl la noted In her case, for Ytliile she always wore- modern gowns gorgeously she never quite looked any thing but: a remarkably effective sl.ow girl. Now her head bends prettily and her body undulates as she walks, ili.iugu her specially lu pest days was to bold her self like a ramtod. When she sits down she alts on her spine, "out quite necessary for the lines of the tunlo draped skirt. 6he has many cushions about and leans on them, she carries flowers and wears them in place of the diamond toads and Usarda she once sported. Tola is all part of the directoire pose. The stops must be measured, and a stride is entirely out of the question. A glide is better. Her arms hang loosely, or at least curve themselves, obliterating the elbows. Lace ruffles droop over the hands, which are never held tensely. s The voice must be sweet and low, and all slang or accented expressions are taboo. Conversation no longer must tend to athletics ov politics, but to the accent edly feminine. Flowers, music, the play, dress, the shops, pets, gossip of the mild est sort,- and above all hero worship, are the themes. In fact the directoire girl must ape the manners of the three volume heroine and put aside her good fellowship with her heavy boots and her socks which ahe may have got direct from Paris this spring, but wore only long enough to prove them unsuitable and ungraceful. SHORT LIVES OF BATTLESHIPS (Prospective Material for the Jnnk v Pile of I nrle Sam's Navy. It is barely twenty years since the cele brated While Squadron wasthe admiration of the country. That squadron of four ships comprised the first vessels or the new navy, and the country was Immensely proud ot them. While not one of the four has been lost or met with any serious mishap In Us career, all of them have passed out of the active fleet, except the little dispatch boat Dolphin, which still serves the useful pur pose of an official yacht. The former flag ship Chicago, although still a good ship, has been relegated to trailing service; the cruiser Atlanta Is now useu as living quar ters for the crews of torpedo boata In re serve at the Norfolk navy yard; the cruiser Boston has been lying In ordinary at the liremurton navy yard, for the last two years, and It has recently been decided thai It would not pay to reconstruct and rehab ilitate the ship. It Is not merely the White Squadron that has become antiquated, however. Quite a number of later ahlps have passed out of the active service or are rapidly becoming candidates for the scrap heap. The famous battleship Texas, which did auch good serv ice at Santiago, and thus redeemed herself from her previous reputation as the 'hoo doo of the navy, owlag to her many mis haps, has been relegated to peaceful receiving-ship duty at the Charleston navy yard. The San Francisco, which distinguished herself as a flagship of the American squadron during the Brazilian naval revo lution of fifteen years ago, has been quietly rotting away in the Norfolk navy yard for the last ten yeara. The Cincinnati has long been the receiving ahip at Bremerton, and Dewey'a famous flagship, Olyinpia. is now a training ship at the naval tacademy. The Detroit, Marblehead and Montgomery, all of which are hardly 12 years olo, are either permanently laid up or are doing subsi diary duty. It will thus be seen that the time la now at hand when we will have to revive our own acap heap, which has been neglected since the old wooden navy passed Into his tory. All of this goes to S'low that war ships, considering their enormous cost, are remarkably shortrlvtHi rebels. This Is not due to any deficiency in the ahl-js them selves, or In their structural strength, but entirely to the keen competition among the naval powers, which evolves new types of ships so rapidly that the best vesnels be come obsolete within a comparatively few years. . Battleships are not now expected to serve moie than ten years In the first line and five In the second, after which they are of no further value for war pur poses. Thus the three . battleships of our fleet the Oregon, Indiana and Massa chusetts, all of which saw active service In the war with Spain, and were then new are now, although not more than eleven or twelve years old, absolutely obsolete. Bat tleships certainly are costly luxuries. New Orleans Picayune. . By using -the various departments of The See Want Ad Pages you get tbe Lest re sults at tbe least expense.

STRIVING TO, MEND liDRWAfS National Awakening to, the Need of Forest Preservation. ADVANCING SCIENCE OF FORESTRY Forest Lands I'nder HasifrmBt ef States and Nation and School for Training; of Tree Ex perts. "In the last ten years," says the Tear book of the Department of Agriculture for I9fi, "forestry has advanced In this coun try from an almost unknown science to a useful, growing profession. In that time the number of technically trained foresters has increased from less than-a dosen to over 400. Ten years ago there was not a single forest school 'In the country. Now there are several professional forest schools which rank with those of Europe and a score more, with courses In elementary forestry, whose usefulness is steadily grow ing. Forest lands under management have grown from one or two tracts to many, aggregating 7,503 000 acres, scattered thiou h thirty-nine states. The national forests have Increased from 89,000,000 acres, prac tically unusued and unprotected, to 165. 000,000 acres, used, guarded and Improved both In productiveness and accessibility. The number of states which have state forests has increased from one to ten, and of those which employ trained foresters from none to eleven. The membership of forest associations baa Increased from 3,000 to 15,800. Ten years ago, except for a few of the foremost botanists. Kuropean forest ers knew more about American forests than did the people of the country. In Europe they were then using preservatives to prolong the service of beech ties, and so adding from twenty to forty years to their life. Here, on the other band, scarcely a treated tie had been laid, though there are now sixty treating plants, twenty-seven of which treat ties exclusively, and an en gineer who recently returned from Europe reports that both In size and mechanical perfection the treating equipment of this country Is ahead of any to be found abroad. And yet American forestry has only safely passed the experimental stage and got ready to do something. Action, Im mediate and vigorous, must be taken If the Inevitable famine of wood supplies Is to be lessened. We ara now using as much wood In a single year as grows In three, with only twenty years' supply of virgin growth In sight. Only the application of forest knowledge with wisdom, method and energy, In the next ten years, can prevent the starving of national Industries for lack ot wood." Timber a Profitable Crop. "The growing of timber as a farm crop has gained a permanent place In American agriculture. Each time a thrifty farmer sees a neighbor cutting a supply of fence posts and obtaining, out of the same stock, enough firewood to pay for the work, or selling on tbe stump a quantity of saw timber, the product of a far-sighted In vestment of fifteen, twenty or twenty-five years ago, he realises more keenly the Im portance of the wood crop. A farm with out a good wood lot la Incomplete. Where the rainfall is heavy the wood- " ' yf lot can be maintained on land not the bear for other purposes, while In a region where good land must be selected it is the opin ion of experienced men that the trees pay for the ground they occupy in protection to the farmstead, the orchard or adjoining fields. With the shelter of a windbreak less feed is required to winter stock, danger to an orchard from late frosts is reduced, and the comfort ot the home, as well as Its beauty, Is greatly Increased. Indeed, some owners have estimated the value of good groves at (l.OuO an acre, on the ground that tbe value of their properly is increased to Just Received a Full Carload of Dining Room and Library Tables PEDESTAL TADLE-Omaha price' $11.00, QQ 7C our price CUi lu A solid quarter sawed oak Pedestal Table, OIK flfl Omaha price $21.

Where the forest has been given attention the returns have yielded a net profit ot U. $& and $10 per acre. In every Btate a share or tne rarm can be devoted to growing timber with a profit In some cases nearly or quite equal to that obtained from agricultural crops. In addition protection, the convenience of having farm repair materials at hand and Inorease of farm values are secured. "That forest planting is Increasing Is evident from the Increased demand for planting material. One nurseryman last spring shipped 400,000 jack pine seedlings to Nebraska alone. One order for 10,000 was for planting in the vicinity of the Brunner plantation in Holt county, an ex ample of successful forest planting which has been of high educational value. The government nursery at Halsey has also been most helpful In determining the adapt ability of conifers for planting on sandy soils in Nebraska and adjacent states. "The Btate university of Illinois, at. Ur bana, has an interesting-experimental plan tation, and the State Normal school at DeKalb has more recently established one. Fruits of Forest Work. "Nebraska has begun to reap the fruits of early forest work, and the last year has manifested that . many of the apparent failures of former years ere In reality Important lessons in the selection of proper species and methods of planting under pe culiar condltrons. The number of students In the different courses of forestry In the University of Nebraska shows a healthy growth. In addition to the regular courses a special course Is given for public school teachers and during the year a course for advanced students and courses of lectures on sllvlcs and state forest policy have been inaugurated. The permanent equipment of the department of forestry has been en larged and now includes among other ad ditions a forest herbarium, a large collec tion of wood specimens and a portable sawmill for practical demonstrations upon tbe timber grown by provident farmers of that vicinity. "In Iowa the professor of forestry at the Stats college carries on experiments and state work. Among the problems now un der consideration are the improvement ot planted groves and natural woodlota, the determination of what are the most valu able species for general wood lot planting, tho best methods of planting and handling the woodlot and the. development of sim ple methods of preservative treatment which can be carried' out economically by the farmer. "Since the establishment of the Fort Hays experiment station, in west central Kansas, a series of experiments have buen begun, in the very center of ytlie plains region, of growing young trees according to various cultural methods on upland and bottomland on a scale large" enough to lend authorltatlveness to the results. The slate forestry stations at Ogallah and Dodge City are directing their chief efforts to the distribution of young trees in the western most counties. "As a result of co-operative forest studies In tbe Osurk region ot southern Missouri and western Arkansas, between the state ot Missouri and lumber companies on the one baud and the forest service on the other, one large lumber 4mpany which controls in the aggregate 4.0OJ,iwu,0W) leet of standing Amber has begun the appli cation of forest management to lis hold ings."

The foundation of the great wealth of J. P. Morgan waa laid by the great fire which swept New Tork City In 1835. At that time Mr. Morgan's father was a youth of 15 years and a dry goods clerk in Hartford and. his grandfather was a modest innkeeper. He was the propri etor of the City hotel In Hartford. When the flames swept New York In 1835 one of the fire Insurance companies of Hartford was known to be a heavy loser. It had not then become so great a financial Institution that It could face such a loss without misgiving.-. Many stockholders became alarmed and offered shares at a great sacrifice. As usual, such topics were discussed In the hotel corridors, and Mr. Morgan was offered much stock nearly as a gift. John Warburton, who was then one o'f the wealthiest me In the country, advlaed him to take all he could get at theae prices and advanced money to him. The innkeeper began buying and soon had bought a majority ,of the stock at prices ranging from 2H to 10 cents on the dol lar. Six leading men of Hartford then signed a note for (100,000, discounted It at the Hartford bank and placed the "The Whiskey with a deputation9 Quaker Maid Eye WINNER OF THREE STRAIGHT PRIZES SL looU, 1904 Paris, 1905 Portland. 1903 Can this leave any possible doubt in yotir mind as to which Whiskey is the best 1 For ioU at all first-class bars, cafes and. drug itorts S.

The company met 11 of Its loss&s and wrote a large amount ot new business. The - result was a great boom for the company and Mr. Morgan found himself worth $160,000 when the tangli-s were straight! ned out. . Mr. Morgan's first thought was for his son, who was working as a dry goods clerk. He decided that UU boh, Junius B. Morgan, bhould become a mer chant. An interest was bought for him in a large mercantile houae In Boston. The firm proHpeied and in a few years yountf Morgan sold his interest for $500,000. He continued In the mercantile busings lor several years longer, however, and increased his fortune to the extent of (400,000. Junius S.
