A. somew hat unusual yet certain
ly- sound argument Is advanced iu a
survey of the public health of the
Oiitu iLX-ug'ioin, to the effect that
the deplorable percentage "i unfit
nun in Great Britain, estimated at
considerably mor» th-'n 5u p<M- cent,
is an unjustlco to the fit men. On
behalf of the minority of fit man, it
ii d"Uiandt.-d that steps be taken to
prevent men front permitting them
selves to b come unfit, and thus re
lieve the fit men of the extra bup
tlau they have to b<_®r
Not only have tho fit men throug
all these year§ of ^ar had to die
fur the unlit but they had also to
work >o m:'-ke sacrifices of comfort,
of l\ome, of pleasure, of business,
for the uufit. Aud no"w the
fit must shoulder th« burden of re
construction.
Such a presentation ot ma case
is a rude contradiction of the usual
a^sum^tioa that mental and physi
cal ui.fitu>sa iu a man is a m is tor
whiiii cauttot prevent. Tht> British
review of the situation does not
thus relieve the individual of
responsibility, but divides it betwe 1
him and tie state. KxeJnptiug, of
course, those unfortunaU-j who are
rendered unlit by accident or nature
it Is pointed out that unfitnes in the
majority of represents only

individual ti> tako such care of him

London Doctor Says Ail Fat
Men Should Wear Corsets
London, June 24 Men with &
paunch should wear corsets. That
was the advice of Dr. Leonard W tl
liamg g;iv«n at the Peac« Nursery
arnf Mid Wif.rv conference. His
reason is based upon, health
uriuti»l**.
I "Aboriginal man." said Dr. Wil
liams, "certainly was a four footed,
animal. Th8 abdominal construc
tion was intended! for that posture
Since human beings began to walk
on the-ii hind legs the position of
the abdominal organs had been
thrown out of gear.
"People who takeplenty of out- (
door i-xerc'se and athlite# might get,
on very well without corsets, but'
persons who live a sedentary life
require some kind of support as
given by corsets.'"
L>r. Williams said people who |
wore tight collare prevented proper
draining or brains and thereby!
sufiered bad tempers.
"Since women gave up wearing
tlcht cellars they have become;
sweeter ♦enioered," h.® said

MR. SKUNK'S STORY.
"Listen, children and I will tell you
n story," said Mr. Skunk.
"Yes, Papa Skunk," they said, "we'd
love to hear a story."
Now the little skunks were growling
up Into big skunks. Their fur was
very beautiful; black and white and
soft—and their eyes were very soft
and sweet looking.
"Do go on. Papa Skunk," they
urged.
"You have often heard folks com
plain of us," said Papa Skunk.
"Xo, we never have," said the little
skunks.
"Then you haven't heard any horrid
gossip," said Papa Skunk. "Well, I'ui
glad to hear that my children don't
keep their ears open for gossip, though
In this case what is said about us lit
true. In fact I don't suppose I should
call It gossip, for gossip is repeating
things one hears and adding to them
as a rule."
"How can one add to things one
hears?" asked one of the young
skunks. j
"That gives me great pleasure," said
Papa Skunk, "to be asked such a ques
tion. It shows ttiat you don't know
the first thing about gossip. Ah, my
children, it is a bad habit. It makes
folks and creatures unhappy, It does
no good and It's very silly. It shows
creatures haven't enough brains t'j
talk about Interesting things, or
enough real fun In tliem to have a
good time without talking and adding
talk to stories about one's neighbors.
"When one gossips oue tells a story
about someone and then adds on to
the story. For,Instance, If you heard
—. _rf«r
"Be Careful." "
that the Skunk children in the nearest
hole to ours quarreled, and then you
told someone else you hud heard that
they quarreled so badly that they ac
tually had fights—that would be gos
sip. You would be talking about them
In the first place unkindly, which
would be mean, and when you added
to what you had heard you would be
doing something very wrong.
"So. my children, I want to tell you
never to gossip. And it's very apt to
make folks unhappy. It seems so
wrong to make any unhapplness we
can help. There are enough sick
nesses and hurts and troubles arnd
bothers not to help made-up ones."
All the little skunks nodded their
heads and said, "Yes, papa, we think
so too."
"Well," continued Mr. Skunk, "It Is
true when folks say we give a most
horrid odor when we're frightened.
And you till know why we do.
ni.ntuf.fi,-in All animals
and creature# must nave sometnJng'to
protect themselves wi:h from the out
side world, nod that Is our protection.
But when folks ear t'aat we're horrid
and cross, they are gossiping and
adding to tK* truth an untruth.
"We're very gentle and kindly and
would never do anyont any harm. We
are afraid »f big people and big crea
tures. W« are rather timid and shy."
"We've always been shy," said the
little skunks.
"And," continued Papa Skunk, "we
give folks several warnings when we
are frightened and ars going to use
our great protection.
"First we tap on the ground with
our paws. Then If they don't pay any
attention to that we raise our tails
as though to say, 'lie careful. We are
frightened And we must look after
ourselves.'
"The aext warning we give Is to
move our talis baek and forward, and
If folks don't pay any attention and
we are still frightened then we—well,
we give our punishment.
"Of course If we are frightened
very, very suddenly we may not give
these warnings because we may not
have the time, but we usually do, all
right."
"It's not fair of folk6 to say we're
not gentle enough." said the little
skunks.
"Ah, that's gossip, m'J ears, gos
sip," said Mr. Skunk, waving his
handsome tall, "but now I have told
you the skunk's story as told by a
skunk."
