Methodist PULPIT Talent.

81 am glad that our best preachers
are to remain for another year, at least,
in this conference" said a prominent
Methodist layman.
within the past few years several OF
our ablest and most attractive pulpit
speakers have been transferred to other
states. The North Alabama conference
has long been noted for its pulpit talent
and there seems to be a strong demand
in other fields for our rising preachers.
The matter is with our bishops, OF
course, and what they decide is for the
best interests of the church. l was afraid
they would see fit to transfer one or two
of our brilliant speakers this year.

The kxiaI Rotation of Venus.

Uncomfortable. isn't she? Needs a new
 dressmaker? Not at all. Her clothes arc
 all right. It's just a matter of poor fitting
 corset, that's all. A little care. just insist
 ing upon kabo Corset and positive
 refusal to accept any other and she will be
 as happy, trim and we'll dressed any
 woman.
 How many times do you suppose your husband asks himself this question? Of course he says nothing to you. He wouldn't do that for the world. But don't you suppose he thinks it just the same? He wants you to look your best. He wants you to be just as smart and spck and span as Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Robinson or Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Anybody else. He wants you to keep your youth and your figure and be the same win- some self you were fin your girlhood days. If women would only appreciate this fact, if they would only realize that to look her best, woman has only to select her clothes with care and. above all else, secure corsets adapted to bring out her figure to the best advantage and give her proper carriage, there would be more con- tented husbands.
 It isn't difficult matter to get corsets that will add one half to your appearance Just refuse to ever accept any corset that isn't kabo Corset and the problem is solved. There 10 a kabo style for every figure and every effect any won- an or dressmaker could wish. And they are all as near corset perfection as you will ever see corset in this world It doesn't matter what sort of figure you have-short, long, stout or thin there Is a Kabo style for you that will set off every liuo oi SOuI lSuio u tHe DcSS duSdutdKe and give you the reputation of being stylish woman.
 Kabo corsets are not only correct in style. but In quality, workmanship, materials and trimm- ings they are the best the market affords. Every kabo corset has the absolutely non- unstable loop lacing This is the greatest Improvement known to modern corset making and is found in kabo corsets only. You can pay $75 for pair of cor. sets. but you won't get any better corset, any more style, or more wear than you will from a kabo, which sells for $l 00 to $500 according to style. etc. You save money in buying the K abo. See that the next corset you buy is a kabv. You will not be disappointed.
 The new Kabo style book Is now ready It shows styles for every figure and will be sent free upon request. Address kabo Corset Co.,, Dept. 3s. Chicago. This book will help you get the most out of your clothes.
