THE
UNEXAMPLED
SUCCESS

Attending our opening sale
of L'Irrcsistible and the
Gossard Corset is evidence
of the great merit of these
wondrous front laced cor
sets. Progress ordained that
electric light should replace
the tallow dip, to the great
advantage of all mankind.
Another innovation seems
at hand. The front laced
corset possesses tremendous
advantages over the back
laced corset. The adjustment
they give at the abdomen
and the support their solid
or closed back gives the
spine are enough to assure
their success, but adding to
these the peerless style
qualifications of the Gossard
front laced corsets. and 1t
does not seem strange that
the laced back corset should
join the relics of the past.
Miss Balfour, the expert
corsetiere, has been delegat-
ed to us this week by the
manufacturers, to demon
strate the new features of
this corset of quality. No
woman who cares" can af-
ford to miss this opportunity
of being perfectly fitted by
this expert, who comes to us
laden with the latest of met
ropolitan ideas in corsetry.
Miss Balfour is to be here
this week only and desiring
to see all those interested in
corset betterment, she urges
you to call without delay.
These are the original
front lace corsets. They
we're invented in Paris five
years ago; are the only sue
cessful front laced corsets
manufactured and are for
sale in no other store in

J. L. BrandeiS & Sons

WASHINGTON, Jan e-That the new
regulations for the mobilization of the
National Guard, just perfected by Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver, will result in
making impossible any repetition of the
difficulties of reorganization of the militia
forces in the face of war as experienced
in the early days of 1885, is expected by
the War department. i''
These regulations which have just been
printed and promulgated are drawn under
the terms of the constitution and existing
militia law and preceding statutes. They
provide for the minimum strength OF the
organization of the militia In time of peace
| and equipment by the state authorizes so
that this force will be instantly available
/ in time of need. In the first place II IL
expected that the state authorities will take
| advantage of the generous appropriations
made by the national government annually
for the support of the national guard to
keep all of their organizations at fixed
minimum strength. These men are to be
completely equipped and drilled. And. in
addition, the state must provide ample
| equipment, arms, clothing, quartermasters
stores tenting, everything necessary for
the militiamen who may be called into
service under the terms of the law.
State to Equip Recruits.
The experience of the Spanish war re-
| crultlng demonstrated tnal Is is dincult
task for the government 10 equip recruits
in twos and threes and half dozens In lit
| tie country hamlets and feed and convey
them TO central recruiting depots. There
| fore, the regulations provide that the task
shall be assumed by the state authorities;
! the'' will secure these recruits themselves
nd provide for their maintenance and de-
| liver them at the proper headquarters so
that all that will be necessary for the
national government to secure a thoroughly
mobile, well equipped and well armed force
| Of men at short notice will be a call on the
