The home was fumigated Tuesday by the family physician and the last chance of a spread of the disease thereby stamped out No other cases have been discovered in or near Rensselaer and the cases in Walker township have also all recovered.

A Little Corset Chat. -I- f, ffi rIK I' A Spirella Stay.' T A Spirella Stay. Spirella is the only boning which has perfect spring qualities, allowing it to yield gracefully to every motion of the body, which will not take a permanent bend, and is impervious to moisture or rust It offers no resistance to the movements of the body, yet retains the shape and style of the corset perfectly until the most durable cloth wears out. It allows grace and freedom, comfort and a shapely form to the stouter types. Since the first corset was made there has been a demand for boning which would be sanitary, non-resisting to the movements of the body, and which would not break; splinter or take a permanent bend at the waist line. The genius of the enterprising corset maker has for years been employed in fashioning stays of reeds, wood, steel, whalebone and combinations of grass and feathers glued together, and various other fibre. All the skill that money could command has been centered upon the production of the perfect corset stay, with only disappointment and failure as the result Womankind has been compressed, tortured and lacerated in stiff, ill-fitting corsets boned with rigid, brittle stays that both break and bend out of shape. Spirella boning tat absolutely guaranteed not to break, rust or take a permanent bend in actual, corset wear on the stoutest figure. MRS. G. W. GOFF, tdlw Corsetier. .
