A corset can be as cozy as a shoe or a glove. We have lots of cozy corsetsthey are in the J. C. C. make. Every possible line and curve of your fig ure has been provided for in a J. C. C. Model. It fits so well that there's no room for argument. They are the smart est corsets we know. There's one style in particular we would like to show you. It has that long tapering waist, with high bust that suits so admira- bly theEmpire style. Speaking of J. C. C. Corsetsdo they wear? Well, yes! They really wear until you are tired of them. The material doesn't tear away from the clasps, nor do the eyelets pull out, or are the bones breaking over the hips or the steel punching through. They are too well made for any of that. If you are having Corset Troubles of that kind, try a J. C. C. and you will find that your troubles will disappear. E. B. ANDERSON.

The singing was excellent and a solo rendered by Miss Stendahl was fine. The program for the Fourth at the Brook passed off smoothly. It rained in the morning, but after dinner the people commenced to gather and it proved to be an occasion of enjoy ment. In the evening the dancers poured in from every direction and a more gentlemanly and ladylike crowd would be hard to find.

Owing to the increase of motor ve hicles many of our roads are now sub jected to a wear for which they are unsuited. Owing to the dirt raising power of the automobile the dust prob lem has reached an acute stage in many places. The matter has resolved Itself into a local study, since it has been closely demonstrated that pre ventives which work on one soil are sither useless or harmful on another. This phase of the problem was recently discussed by a road expert, Mr. J. W. Howard, before the American Road Makers' association. Said this author ity: Each locality is a separate problem as to what available materials to use for constructing roads and what methods to adopt for reducing dust. My experience testing pavement and road materials in my laboratory and constructing pave ments and road surfaces for many years In many places, convinces me that not cheap first cost, but economic mainte nance, is true economy. This applies also to suppressing dust. Water alone, or mixed with salts or with alkali and oil, has a very limited application. Certain adhesive asphaltic oils for soft road ma terials and specially prepared coal tar products for hard macadam and similar roads seem to be the present solutions of dust problems for thousands of miles of highways. The condition of many of the mam roads in the country after a few days of fine weather is such as to justify almost every expression that may be rfsed to designate it The surface con sists either of a thick layer of dust or of a variable mixture of sand and loose, sharp stones, according to the locality. Every fast vehicle that passes, and often merely a puff of wind, raises the dust in clouds, blinding and choking the users of the road, penetrating way side houses and chastening the people like one of the plagues of Egypt. The more frequented highways are often shrouded throughout the day in a dense white pall of dust stirred up by the wind and the traffic and never having time to settle It is not surprising that the public grumbles and demands re lief in one direction or another. The English public is confronted with the same problem, and there the ques tion of the hour is the choice of meth ods in the use of tar. An article in the London Engineering says that tar or some tar compound is the most satis factory and adds. Tarring has its defects and its limita tions, but on the whole it appears at pres ent the most promising solution. How it can be best applied is the next considera tion It seems obvious that the proper time is during the reconstruction of the road, when the surface material can be mixed with tar before being laid, so that every individual stone is covered. An al ternative method advocated by some is to coat the road thoroughly before the sur face material is laid and then roll the latter until the tar is forced up into the interstices If it be true that tar always finds its way upward to the top of the road, there is something to be said for this method of using it Usually, howev er, tar has to be applied to an existing surface, and then the treatment is neces sarily less thorough. The ordinary proce dure is to sweep the road clear of dust and then to apply the tar, brushing the latter into the interstices by hand labor. Sand is then laid to prevent the tar being picked up by the wheels of vehicles A second coating is given after six weeks, but a single dressing only is required in subsequent years. The tarred surface eliminates the ex pense of the water cart and adds to the life of the road. By the use of a tar ring machine the annual cost of main taining the tarred surface after it has been laid is cut in two Celebrating the Hudson River. The plans for the so called Hudson Fulton celebration two years hence have been submitted, and it is evident that the Hudson, river, not its discover er nor the first exploiter of steamships, is to be the center of the celebration. Festivities which are imposing and ad equate for the purpose are to extend over eight days, from Sept. 18 to Sept. 26, 1909. This period includes the date of Hudson's halt on the up trip and his return downstream, Sept 19 and 23 respectively Fulton's celebrated trip up the Hud son in the pioneer steamboat Cler mont took place Aug. 11, 1807, and this event is brought into the celebration of 1909 for convenience. In the great water parade, which will close the cere monies, models of Hudson's ship, the Half Moon, and of the Clermont will be escorted up the river. Thus the names and the deeds of these two will be linked with the river which the des tiny of civilization would, have made historic had neither Hudson nor Fulton ever sailed upon its waters. However, their names are inseparably associated with the river, and it is fitting that they be linked in the manner proposed in the programme of the celebration. Just about this time, when thou sands of his countrymen, are sighing to join, him in the arctics, Walter Wellman is probably racking his brains for an other good excuse for turning around and starting for home. There is not much use of publishing the annual admonitions, "Don't rock the boat" and "Don't swim far beyond the breakers." As a rule people who do that sort of thing don't read news papers. That member of parliament who compares the British house of peers to the American senate, somewhat to the advantage of the former, has a peerless imagination, to say the least Of course Mark Twain won't forget to mention King Edward's hospitality in that wonderful autobiography of his.
