Do you know that you can get smart
styles in corsets at no more cost than
you have been accustomed to pay? Do
you also know that the present style OF
dress requires most careful attention as
to what corset should be worn?
p. N. Corsets are made in the latest,
up-to-date, smart styles for all figures
slight, medium, stout-and besides being
figure builders are comfortable to wear.

tainly must know that this means that
rust-stained garments are impossible
when p. N. Corsets are worn.

Jefferson Chase, the we'll known inven-
tor, died in Portland, Me-, Tuesday
night, May 20. He was born in Con-
cord, July "a, 1881. The interest in ma
chinery is a family inheritance, Mr..
Chase's father, John Dennison Chase,
having invented the first all iron and
steel circuar-saw mill ever made in New
England. The son at an early age
showed that he would follow in the
fathers footsteps, for the boy was al
ways at work upon some piece of ma
chinery, and since his twenty-fifth birth
day he has taken out thirty-lour patents.
Mr.. Chase was for many years associated
with his father and brother, Dennison
Chase, under the firm name of the Chase
Turbine Manufacturing Company. The
Chase water wheel was first introduced
to the public by J. D. Chase & Sons in
1855 and grew rapidly into favor.
Among other patents received by this
company are the automatic shingle and
heading machine, lever set circular-saw
MILL travelling bed planer, automatic
growing machine, selfshipping power
feed saw machine, hath machine and bolt
er, and many others. The year of the
NClltllulCit MI NlCiSC w do at
exhibiting his rotary-saw mill, single ma
chine and water wheel. While there he
became very muchinterested in the paper
pals which were exhibited by a man
from Ohio. These pals were made by
sheets of paper being wound around
block. and the idea struck Mr.. Chase
that ifpaper pals could be made, why
not use wood pulp instead, and in 1888,
with the help of his son, William l..
Chase, who had at that time just gradu-
ated at the Technical School at Worces-
ter, the first wood pulp pals. tubs, etc,
were made. William L. Chase became
so much interested in these manufactures
that he invented the machines which
made the pals. He was the eldest son of
Jefferson Chase, and was one Of the un-
fortunate victims of the steamer Port
land disaster.
Jefferson Chase was a prominent Uni
versaIist. He leaves a wife and two
childrentLyle B. of the Diston Saw Co.,
Philadelp ia, and Miss Eva M, clerk
in the Portland office of the New England

Rev. l. P. Booth gave a very able lee
ture at the church, Thursday evening
showing very forcibly that Vermont
did not want high or low license or local
option in any sense OF the word. He said
that in NorwaIk, Conn, where there
were 60 saloons licensed the cost of them
amounted to 100000 per year, while
in Burlington where there were no Ii,
censed saloons the agency sold only
about $4,000 worth per year, which
was altogether too much for that place,
but if there were licensed saloons on
every corner there would be more than
$4,000 consumed every year. He gave
comparisons from a large number OF
places, showing the difference between
license and no license places. The lecture
was listened to by good sized and APP
precjative audience.

The human body is exactly what you
feed to it. If you eat beet, you think
beef; if you drink beer you think beer.
The English officer was right when he
shouted to his men, at the attack on
Cadiz, "You Englishmen who are fed on
beef surely don't mean to be beaten by a
lot of Spaniards who live on oranges!"
Herein lies the argument for drinking a
high grade coffee for breakfast (such as
Chase & Sanborn's), that one may have
high thoughts and active mind, alert at
tention and mental faculties stimulated
to the highest point.
