Figure Superiority
Your figure portrays your personality—
and your corset makes your figure.
An erect bearing, graceful poise and gen
eral air of figure trimness mark the woman of
superior personality. She realizes that she
must have corset comfort. The least dissatis
faction unsettles her ease of mind.
She wears her gowns as they should be
worn, and every line is correct, every drape
fal<ls where it should. She knows that her
corset is the secret of this, and she therefore
selecglCier corset with care.
She who is truly of superior personality
makes her selections from
Warner's Rust-Proof Corsets
On che last boat a new shipment was re
ceived of fashionable and comfortable, in lace
front or lace back styles, as you prefer—
and each style is truly a work of scientific
skill.
Every Pair Guaranteed.

Illustrating the Increased interest
in Alaska many articles now appear
ing in the newspapers and magazines
throughout the country relate to the
northland. The clipping bureau fur
nished the Alaska Bureau for the pe
riod of two months has supplied 275
newspaper articles relating to Alas
ka. These articles cover forty differ
ent subjects, those on the value and
production of Alaska leading with a
total of forty. Government railroads
was eighth in number of articles. On
the remarkable progress of Juneau
there were only two articles, show
ing that the public generally does not
yet appreciate the great development
taking place at Juneau and what it
will mean to the mining world. Now
that the interest in Alaska is aroused
to such a degree it is purposed by the
Bureau to further this publicity in
every possible way. Special articles
and means of accomplishing this re
sult are now being formulated.
The appreciation shown in the
work of the Alaska Bureau is hiost
gratifying to the members of the
committee. During the last five
months 258 newspaper articles and
editorials pertaining to the work of
the Bureau, an average of 43 a month
have appeared in newspapers* One
hundred and fifty of these articles
are in papers published outside of
Seattle, an average of one a day. The
executive committee is now at work
on a program to cover at least two
years’ activities. The plan is of such
a constructive nature that gratifying
results are expected to ensue in aid
of Alaskan development.—Seattle

TELLS HOW TO LIVE ONE
HVNDRED YEARS.
“In the next generation the per
son who has a headache will be con
sidered ill bred.”
This prophetic statement was made
yesterday by*Dr. Charles E. Barker,
a speaker at the Chautauqua being
held at Sheridan road and Byrn
Mawr avenue under the auspices of
the North End Club. He was the
lecturer at the afternoon session.
Elaborating on his subject, “How
to Live a Hundred Years,” he assert
ed all health was based largely upon
the condition of the blood.
“Moses had the right idea, 6,000
years ago,” he said, “when he pro
claimed ‘The blood is the science.'
Keep your blood in good condition
and you will live to be one hundred.”
He pointed out that according to
recent statistics based on data furn
ished by life insurance examiners,
90 per cent of all people more than
■10 years old had a subnormal chest
expansion. He also brought out, as
demonstrated by recent experiments
at Johns Hopkins University that the
use of underwear had a bad effect
on the proper flushing of the skin
pores, and recommended systematic
exercise as an antidote.
“One of the worst influences
against health and well-being today
is the patent medicine,” he said. “1
really believe liquor is no worse
than this dope.
“When I die I wish put on my
tombstone: ‘Here lies the man who
he'ped to kill the patent medicine
business.’
“As a matter of fact, I wish to go
on record as saying that there never
was a medicine, patent or otherwise,
that could be taken as a habit with
out injuring the user.”
KENNECOTT COPPER CO.
EARNS MILLION MONTHLY.
New York: While the earnings ol
the Kennecott Copper company for
the four months ended September 30
amounted to $3500, the actual profits
for this period will probably be in
creased to $4,000,000 due to the fact
that the earnings of $3,500,000 in
clude the unsold copper which was
inventoried at 15 cents. This copper
will be sold to a higher figure, since
the copper market is now 18 cents, or
better.
Kennecott’s mine production for
the four months ended on September
30 was 31,000,000 pounds or at the
rate of more than 90,000,000 pounds
a year. The production in Septem
ber was aproximately 8,000,000 lbs.
The Alaska Steamship Company
has bought two steamers, which will
be used to carry the Kennecott ore
to the smelter on the Puget Sound
Kennecott's ore is being shipped to
the Tacomn plant of the American
Smelting & Refining Co., and to Gar
field, Utah, for treatment, the Taco
ma plant being unable to handle the
entire output of the mine. The ore
that is smelted at Garfield is sent to
Perth Amboy for refining.—Wall St.
