CORSETS

"DUSINESS women, including stenographers, private secretaries, clerks and all women who work, recognize how all-important it is to be properly corseted. Sitting at a desk all day requires a supple, comfortable corset that docs not bind or pinch, and one that holds the form erect preventing tired bach. Standing demands a . corset that supports the form, thus eliminating fatigue. BON TON corsets are anatomically correct, being scientifically designed over living forms. -Model 810 combines all the features you expect in a smart corset for average figures. Coutil, white or pink. Price $3.50. Other models for all figures at $3.50, So, $6.50, $8 and up. YOUR DEALER may offer substitutes. Insist upon tJie genuine "HO.V TOJY." he refuses to supply y ou. 11 rite us. Accept no substitutes.

Highway commissioners find themselves in a difficult position, between a tendency on the part of Ftate legislatures, county commissioners and township boards to economize by cutting down highway appropriations and the demands of commerce and agriculture for better highway facilities to move an increased volume of production at a

I time when there is unprecedented

railroad freight congestion. There are ways in which the situation can be met successfully, according to H. W. Perry, secretary of the good roads committee of the national automobile chamber of commerce, who says that labor and materials constitute the largest items in road work and therefore offr-r the greatest possibilities in economy.

In deciding upon the kind of road i

to build, he says that type should be 1 JJ selected for which the matei iab- i

can be 1 ought at leat expense, de-i livcred, and which will reauire the U

lr-'ijit l.'bor in producing a finished

loads that can he hauled over it.

We are out for 10,000 new subscribers. We sincerely believe that we are giving our readers the best Workingmen's Newspaper in this section of the country. While we already have a large circulation, we feel that the grent mass of the people need us, and we need you, for ' i union there is strength." We want to reach every home in the surrounding territory. You can help us. We will pay you well. With this end in view, we have planned the most liberal prize offer ever inaugurated in this section of the state a campaign in which a brand new Touring Car of the latest model will be the grand prize. One of the features of this big campaign will be the fact that there will be no losers. A cash commisson of 10 percent on all subscription money will be paid those who fail to win one of the regular prizes offered, which in itself is a splendid business proposition.

This is not a "something for nothing" scheme; in fact, it is not a scheme at all. Neither is it a charitable undertaking on the part of The Interurban Journal. It is a business proposition pure and simple. The object is to advertise this paper, secure new subscribers, collect arrears and get in touch with every home in the surrounding territorv. The many kind expressions of appreciation of our effort to give our readers the best labor paper in the state leads us to believe that many would be glad of an opportunity to help extend its circulation and influence, as some are now doing voluntarily. The Interurban Journal does not solicit this help for its own sake or profit, but because every added reader reduces the proportionate cost of production and enables us to give more for the money.

IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED WHEELS CAUSE TROUBLE 'Improperly adjusted wheels are frequently the cause for premature vearing out of tires" states the service manager of the Fisk Rubber "o. "If the forward wheels of a car 're incorrectly aHgnd. friction Tn- - reases and the tread is quickly W'irn through around its entire ircumference." Included in the free service given u all Ki-k service stations, is a thorough inspection and test for the alignment of wheels. Experienced tire men make these tests, hut the work of realignment is necessarily referred to a garage, it being more of a mechanics j "b than that of a tire man. WlicvN Sot at Angle. Many drivers who do not understand why wheels are set at an an:le called the alignment angle tre equally mystified when they rind i tire tread wearing, away in a few hundred miles. In nine cae out of ten misalignment is the fault, and because this fault can develop without the driver's knowlei?e. it is an excellent plan for a motorist to drop ?n at any Fisk tervice station where he alignment test will be riven free f charge It makes no difference ' hat kind of tires a man may he Inc. he is welcome at any Fisk tation at any time.
