Great Exploitation Sale
And Demonstration of the
Gossard "Lace Front" Corsets
Said Mrs. Redding, the expert corsetiere who
is with us this week representing the manu
facturers, "they would have no more need of a
corset than would a West Point cadet, but a
woman won't, and when a woman won't, well
It's L 'Irresistible or a Gossard corset for
her." They are the only corsets in the world
which compel the correct standing position.
When a woman stands correctly, every part
of her anatomy takes its rightful place. The
flesh relieved of duress is naturally distributed
in graceful proportion. No matter what the
figure, it assumes its excellence of symmetry.
Nature, not the corset, does this when given a
chance.
and
THE j&
CORSETS
They Lace in Front.

afford nature this chance. , Positively they are the only corsets in the world suc
cessfully designed and manufactured to achieve this great accomplishment.
ARRANGES FDR AMBULANCE
HEALTH board contracts
WITH RED CROSS COMPANY.
Day and Xlght Service Is Obtained
With Ambnlanoe at AH Large
Fire Relief to Police.
After a lengthy discussion and much
Igurlng th Health Board at Its meet
kig yesterday morning; decided to
Iward the city ambulance contract to
tie Red Cross Ambulance . Company,
(tier were three bidders for the con
tact, bat the bid of one was not ac
omsanled by check as required, while
the other company took exception to
handling calls of a contagious nature.
It was suggested during the discus
sion which followed the receipt of the
bids that the city operate its own am
bulance service, but careful figuring
showed that thla arrangement would
cost considerable more than letting out
the contract to an individual company.
The Board failed to see how the city
could operate the service under $200 a
month, to say nothing of the cost of an
ambulance and the securing of horses.
It would be necessary, so it was said, to
have two drivers and two span of
horses in order to maintain a night and
day shift. The Red Cross Ambulance
Company Is not particular what kind of
calls It handles and. according to its
bid. will do the work for $174 a month.
It was estimated that altogether the
city has an average of 80 calls to look
after a month. Sixty of these calls, ac
cording to Chief of Police Grttxmacher,
come through the police station. Here
tofore it has been necessary for the pa
trol wagon to be utilized in answering
these calls. This necessity has always
been considered objectionable by the
police. -
Under the specifications it will be ne
cessary for the Red Cross Ambulance
service to. have one of its ambulances
at all large or serious fires, as well as
to answer all calls that come in,
whether at night or during the day.
The city will by this arrangement, be
afforded a day and night service at
what is considered an exceptionally
reasonable expense.
