The True Economy of
The Gossard Corsets.
THEY LACE IN FRONT"

Says Mrs Black, Five dollars is more
than Ihave been paying for my corsets. 1t
would be an extravaganza"
That's wrong-and we'll show YOU WHY.
To begin with, it is not fair or right to
yourself to call anything an extravaganza
that benefits YOU immensely in a beauty
wav-in a health way-as the Gossard
Corset does.
You cannot count in dollars what it
means to a woman who has proper pride
in her appearance, to have a smooth and
shapelv habit back over which her gowns
fit as though nodded to the arch of her
spine, without a wrinkle.

WILL SHORTEN
THE BLOCKS

The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany is about inaugurating an i'm
provement on the South side, which
will effect considerable changes about
the station and facilitate the move
ment of trains
At present the station is the begin
ming point of two blocks, one of which
extends eastward to Bluff distance
of about seven miles and the other
westward to Wolverton, i've miles be-
low. The blocks are longer than is
convenient and under the rules the
passenger trains are now and then held
up quite while.
The shorter the blocks the sooner
they are cleared of trains. The one
way, therefore to obviate delay in the
running of trains is to reduce the size
of the blocks.
This is precisely what the Pennsy
company proposes to do on the south
side. A new block will be cut out of
the two lying between Bluff and VOL
verton. Already a tower has been
brought over from the Lewistown div
ision and will be erected at Boyd S
station. A tower at DeMoyers farm,
about mile below South Danville.
was erected last summer.
The station will be on new and a
relatively short block between De-
Meyers farm and Boyd's station. The
operator at present installed in the
station will be removed to the new
tower a mile below. The depot will
be without an operator but will COM
municate with the tower by phone.
Work on the improvement. it is un-
deretood, will 90 forward at once. The
tower intended for Boyd's is lying on
car at the south side.

1.-The entire division appeared for

that reflected the highest credit upon

been matter of personal pride, as it
was of honor, to every officer and en-
listed man who participated in the de.
monstration.
1.-The behavior of the troops was be-
yond reproaoh or criticism. No COM
plant as to unsoldierly conduct was
received or heard. The reputation for
good conduct and soldierly deport-
ment of the citizen soldiery of the
Commonwealth was maintained to a
degree that should make every man.

ment that DR.. Eliot has presented his

toned this afternoon when the unex-
pected news CT DR.. Eliots action be-
came known in Cambridge and Bos-

out Saturday night will have to be
subjected to process of securing be.

Main and Stand pipe Connected.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
on the south side has connected the
fourteen inch main recently laid with
the new stand pipe above the tank. a
much better service will be obtained
than was formerly had with the small
er stand pipe and the eight inch main.
Formerly trains consumed great
deal of time taking water and as re-
suit the crossing was blocked much of
the time With the increased capacity
of stand pipe and main the locomo
tives can take water in small frac-
tion of the time formerly occpuied
and the crossing should not be block
ed much of the time.
The raising of the tank was origin
ally included in the Improvement, but
later it was decided to omit this part
of the work at present. 1t is said that
in the near future a new tank will be
erected near the site of the present one
and that the two will be used in CON
junction.
