twice a month, but perfection of
drilling is of little value if fire exits

."The janitor is an important factor

"Let each and every citizen of the
state use their endeavors to reduce
the fire waste which visits our state
each year."

Retail Profiteers Are
Blocking Return To
Normalcy, Says Bryan
Chicago, Sept. 6. V. J. Bryan
branded retail profiteers as the chief
obstacle in the way of the coun
try's return to normalcy in a speech
Montay at a mass meeting under the
auspices of the Chicago Federation
of Labor.
He said that the fault was not
with labor, which was willing to do
its share in effecting; a readjustment.
but with the men who perpetrated
the inflation of living prices, making
it impossible for the working classes
to live on reduced wages.
"Labor's chief difficulty in read
justment, he said, is in the fact
that retail prices have 1 not come
down as .they should. This makes
readjustment impossible. It is diffi
cult to reduce wages while living
expenses remain at wartime livels.
Woolen goods are now selling at
retail 100 per cent above the price
they were before the war.

Madam Lyra Corsets 'The Beauty Which Endures"
Birge Harrison, an acknowledged authority of art, lias said: "The beauty which
is to endure must be sane and wholesome, because the human race is sound at
heart and can be counted upon in the long run to reject anything that is un
healthful or decadent." '
., Proper Corsetry Governed by These Fundamental Laws
When once a woman understands
fitness, violent contrasts and ec
centricities of fashion are distaste
ful to her and she will unerringly
corset herself in becoming good
taste.
She will understand corsetry as a
very personal problem, necessitat
ing the careful selection of a gar
ment that follows and refines the
natural lines of the figure, while
' diminishing and hiding its dis
harmonies , with those . faultless
proportions to which " nothing
could be added or removed and
leave the form better or equally
good. And this graceful corsetry
which Madam Lyra artistry intro
duced recognizes as many types of
feminine beauty as there are types
of feminine figures. - Corsets de
signed for your figure will hold
their original shape for a time be
yond the lifejof the average corset.
Madame Lyra corsetry. is offered
as a service to those women who
are seeking true beauty. Indi
vidual attention given in our cor
set department. That Madam
Lyra corsets are consistently
priced within the reach f every
woman is but another evidence of
our desire to serve you.
