San Francisco, Oct. 25. Dear Parents: I take my last chance to write a few lines to let you know I am well before starting Manila. We will sail Thursday. We would have gone today, but Col.

vVe have made and and sold more corsets this year than ever before a great many more. The reason is simple. This year we have made unusual efforts to let the intelligent women of America know the real facts about the G. There are good reasons why every woman should prefer the to any other corset actual tangible, irrefutable reasons that appeal to common sense. The isthercorset that does not stretch.

It is the only one that in the making is dampened and clamped on to a steam-heated iron form which takes every bit of give out of it, and insures its absolutely permanent shapeliness. Any corset-maker can get as good material as anv other corset-maker, but no one but the Corset Co. can use the iron forms. If they dont use these forms they can not give their corsets the preeminent excellence of the It G.

There is no theory about that. It is not simply trade-talk, to sell corsets. It is a rock ribbed fact. It is wnat makes the fit from the day you put it on until the day it is worn out always a new corset in fit, always an old corset in comfort. You dont have to break it in.

Our new number 397 a long-short corset. Short under the arms, but with sufficient length in the bust and over the hips to give comfort and shapeliness. li is a sensible corset. It fits. It brings out all the good lines of the figure, goes far towards making even a poor figure handsome.

No. 397 is a dollar corset, and is sold by over 10,000 dealers. If you have any trouble finding it, don't let your dealer sell you something else. He will get what you want if you insist, or you can write to us and we will see that you are supplied. BORN Grimes October 31, to Mr.

The meeting was presided overby Mr. Jadd OConnor. Charles Harris, candidate for the legislature, made the opening talk, and confined himself to a brief expose of the fallac? of the single tax theory. Hartford being the hot bed of single taxes, and the candidate for the legislature, John F. Connor, being a fanatic on the single tax theory, believing it to be a panacea for all the political evils.

The principal speaker was Governor J. A. Troutman, who made a splendid oration of over an hour and a half in duration, and evidently made a favorable impression. D. VV.
