"Most Any" corset won't do!
"Most any Medicine" wouldn't do if you were ill, would it? You
want the particular medicine for your specific ailment. v
And if you really care about having a good figure about retaining
your youth as long as possible about increasing your grace and charm
then "most any" corset won't do either.
Y6u want the particular corset for your specific figure needs.
Naturally corsets differ in just the proportion that the abilities
of their designers differ. So to be certain of getting the best corset
for your figure it is essential that you select one created by a de
signer of known skill and reputation.
In the iworld of corsetry Jennings is generally accounted the fore
most designer. He designs Modart Front Laced Corcets exclusively.

Urandma Winston met with a seri
ous accident Monday evening, which
perhaps is the oddest and most singu
lar ever heard of in the state. She
stooped to get Some eggs from a nest
in the chicken yard when a huge
I'lymoth ltock rooster viciously at
tacked her, tearing several frightful
gushes, one on her left temple half
an inch deep and another on top of
her head with his long sharp spurs.
The blow knocked her down, and she
almost fainted, but luckily the rooster
did not continue" the attack or she
surely would have been killed. As it
was she nearly bled to death before
crawling to the house and a doctor
arrived. Dr. Mount says ho never saw
wounds of that size bleed so terribly.

Joseph stands an excellent show of
becoming one of the world's greatest
mining camps, as this last discovery,
if properly developed, should make
Joseph a great mining city equal to
Butte or Cripple Creek within a few
years.

cured a bond or lease on the Don Car
los copper property on the west side
of this same mountain, 5 miles from

employed.

Thursday of last week and that his
body was found Tuesday in Big
Sheep creek at the Jack Johnson

stream empties into the Imnnha and
about two miles from where he wns

lars except that the old gentleman
was alone on the ranch and it is pup
posed that while attempting to cross
an old rotten foot-bridge it broke,
throwing him into the water, whiih

swift.
