/ Il is absolutely the only Appli-
ance Of the kind on the market today,
and in il are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years
. The Appliances for retaining the
rupture cannot be thrown out Of posi-
ton.
g. Being an air cushion OF soft rub
Der. il cIings closely TO the body. YET
never blisters or causes irritation
Unlike the ordinary sO-called
pads used n other trussss, II is not
cum bersOrne or ungainly.
D. II is small soft and pliable. and
positively cannot be detected through
the clothing
S. The soft. pliabIe bands holding
the Appliance do not give one the IN
pleasant sensation Of wearing a har-
ness
= There is nothing about it TO get
foul and when il becomes soiled il
can be washed without injuring it in
the least
5 There are no metal springs ia
the Appliance 10 torture one by cut
ting and bruisinE the flesh
g All Of the material OF which the
Appliances are made is OF the very
best that money can buy, making il a
durable and safe Appliance 10 wear.

fair dealing is so thoroughly estab
lished by an experience Of over thirty
years Of dealing with the public, and

CABANISS WOULD BRING
BACK 0LD-FASHI0NED
GARDEN TO CITY HOMES

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 23.-Here's a
new way to combat the high cost OF
living, that monster that threatens tc
devour the American people in its raw
enous NAV, and it is put forward by
no less an authority than H. H. Cab
aniss of this city, a newspaper pub
Usher in years gone by, and now a
conspicuous figure in the local real es-
tate and business world.
It's a perfectly simple proposition.
as Mr.. Cabaniss presents it, and con-
sists of turning city backwards into
vegetable gardens.
THE average city backyard can be
made to feed a good-sized family, If
it's properly cultivated" declares Mr..
Cabaniss. If our people in the cities
who are hard hit by the high price OF
70 would turn to and cultivate ev-
cry available square foot of ground on
their premises, we would see a big
slump in the price of a number O.
staple green goods"
AS a result of his suggestion, city
mans garden movement will probably
be launched in Atlanta, with support
and exploitation by the civic bodies
and prizes for the ones who produce
the biggest Weld per square acre or
ward
