Reduso Corsets to Secure the Correct Form If there is any inclination toward undue stoutness the W. B. Reduso corset is the one to wear. The Reduso corset makes the clothes fit properly giv ing the long tapering effect to the hips which fash ion has decreed for the new gown. The require ments of fashion are much more of a problem to a woman inclined to embonpoint than to her sister of slender physique, but the Reduso corset puts her on the same level. The Reduso is a hygienic corset, holding the abdo men in and keeping the chest up, so that the func tion of breathing is exercised naturally. The surprising result of wearing Reduso corsets is that all excess of flesh on the abdomen rapidly disappears. The waist line lessens several inches through wearing this corset. It works with nature, not against it; consequently is perfectly comfortable and a help to good health as well as a boon to the modiste. Another good point is that these corsets are made of strong materials and give good service.

LARGER FEDERAL POWER Secretary of Commerce Wants Profit on Forclpn Mail Given to Ship owners Welcome to Indns- , trious Immigrants. SAVAN'XAH, Ga.. April 3. The feature of the celebration of the 2Prh anniversary rn the Savannah Board of Trade today was a largely attended banquet tonipht, at which Secretary Straus, of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, was a guest and speaker. After a few words In praise of Georgia and Its founders. Mr. Straus spoke of the work of commerce among nations as a promoter of peace, and continued: Appreciating all thin as I do, and ap preciating a'so that the Ideal condition for all cations would be to save th millions that tve are now pending on armies and navies and u them In promoting the eco nomic welfare of the masses, yet bo long u other nations, though progressing toward that ldal. are far from its realization, a great country such as ours, with such a trvmend.Tus seacoast and with grr-at Inter national Interests, can best serve the cause of peace and hasten the Ideal condition by a Navy adequate In strength and efficiency to give It the proper weight in the promo tion of peace, in the council of nations. Extend Power Over Kali roads. He went on to speak of railroad ex tension throughout the country, saying: This has necessitated a wider Interpreta tion of the commerce clauses of the Consti tution than was required or foreseen by those who carried on the Infant Industries of the in original states. To restrict those clauses to the conditions that existed when the Constitution was adopted would dis credit not only the wise statesmanship of our day. but the spirit and prophetic vision of the founders of our Republic, who boldly led the way In expanding our National do main, by reason of which we have grown from a Nation of S,OOo.onft to a Nation of fM.00O.OfO In the curse of four generations Speaks for Ship Subsidy. After giving a few figures showing the Industrial development of the South, he said a few words for ship subpidy. call ing it "postal subsidy." He argued that all great' commercial nations th subsi dize steamship lines and that such sub sumes, first granted in this country un der I'rvsident Polk, were re-established In t'l. He continued: What is demanded now is that that postal la,w be extended so that your commerce and your passengers will not be compelled to go to the markets on ttris continent by the way of Europe, and by twice crossing the Atlantic Ocean. There Is bill now be fore Congress. the purpose of which Is to extenl this subvention so as to make it effective in reaching the markets on this continent and along; the Pacific Ocean, namely, to g!ve the same postal subvention that Is fovi.led for under the law of Isot and adapt It to ships that ply In those waters He aaid that the cost of mail service to foreign countries, other than Canada and Mexico, was about J3.O0O.00O a year and the postal receipts therefrom were a little over $6,000,000, and It was asked that the J3.000.000 profit "be devoted to extending the commerce of the country In American bottoms under the Ameri can flag." Good Word for Immigrants. He also pointed out the need of auxil iary vessels for the Navy. He denied that this was' a party question. After a few words on the National Council of Commerce which he has es tablished, he said a good word for the Immigrants, thus: It la rather the vogue now to speak against the immigrant and immigration, forgetting what we are and what we owe to the 25,000.000 workers that have come to us in the past 100 years to develop the great possibilities of this country and make us the grea.t Nation that we are. All honor to the descendants oX the Puritan and Pil grim fathers, but In honoring them let us not 'withhold our high appreciation and meed of praise for the immigrants who have come to us in the succeeding decades, to them and to their children, who in peace and In war have proved jio less true and coble Americans than those who preceded them in time, but did not surpass them in the love of our common country. Tes, we welcome the immigrant to our country, the self -roe pee ting and honest-minded alien, no matter from what country he comes, wrto is willing to share with us not only the bless ings but also the duties and responsibilities of our great country ; but they, as well as all df our people, must understand that in this land of liberty, equality and justice there is no room frr eoclalism, communism, collectivism or any other form of "ism" than Americanism, which rsts upon the Ten Commandments, the Declaration of In dependence and the Constitution of the United States.

Hood's Sarsaparilla Is Peculiar to Itself IN MERIT AND IN CURES, WHY? The ingredients actually used in successful medieioM an, im general, weH-known. Bat the exact proportions, and methods of eombiniDg them, are important secrets discovered only by the wisdom of experienced physicians and the fine discriminating skill of educated pharmacists. Physicians Generally Know, for instance, what the ingredient are which give Hood's Sarsaparilla the peculiar merit by whk it effects so many remarkable cures, and they prescribe similar reme dies in practice, but they do not know the exact combanatton nor the proportions which make Hood's Sarsaparilla pecnliar to itself. In Scrofulous- Cases and for other diseases of the blood, the physician 's prescription is Kkely to call for one or more of the very articles used to give Hood's Sarsaparilla'its curative power. To Restore Lost Appetite and as strenpth-buildera, he wiH pre scribe some of the tonic remedies combined in this medicine. But, the Proprietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla claim, and they think very properly, that this medicine, orifrinatinp in the prescrip tion of an eminent physician, and being tested and perfected during its long use by physicians and draggists, embodies a peculiar combi nation of vegetable remedies, which, together with the peculiar process by which it is prepared, gives ft far greater merit than can possibly be found in the occasional prescription. , That It Does Possess this pecnliar merit is shown by its extra ordinary rnres, 40,366 testimonials in two years while no other prescription or formula has achieved anything like similar success. Under the Pure Food and Drags Law, no change was necessary in Hood's Sarsaparilla to conform to the law or to public sentiment. It is perfectly safe, pure, genuine and reliable. Another point which appeals to many in these troublous tftnes, when every penny of expense must carefnlly be watched, is the fact that dose for dose it is the most economical medicine the only one of which can truly be said "100 Doses One Dollar.'
