The “Bandlet” is the newest Nemo figure-reducing device. Partly elastic, gives gentle but firm support—better than any separate abdominal belt cost- Ing from $5.00 to $25.00; but it's a part of this new $5.00 corset—no extra charge for it. It holds in the front steels—they can’t stick out at the bottom. Women know what that means. Stout women will “rave” over No. 522—it's a marvel of comfort and cor- rect style. Just as good, too, for women of medium or even slender build, who aspire to the last degree of fisure reduction.

There were more freights moving on Friday than on any day since the big storm. While the freight department is fast regaining its actlvity the train crews are finding the extreme cold weather decidedly uncomfortable, es- pecially on the night runs, Today is expected to witness the work of auditing the books of the city officials. The new administration will come into power next Monday evening and by that time everything will be in read- EVE AT LONDON asd (WM from Page Eleven.) are expected to re nd to box 23, at the corner of Bradicy and Stats streets, the center of the busincss seo- 1s, therefore, time that revison was made of the fire department reg- ulations, or the time may come when this neglect will result in a disast- rous conflagration. It is well to lock the barn door before the horse thict makcs the visitation. Arrangements should be made whereby prcautionary satety should always be given the center of the city, especlally as at most of the fires the services of the entire department is not required. Tt might be well for all the firc ai tus Lo #make the hitch” and be in readiness fn case of need, but it is the helght of folly for six or seven fire companies to run to a fire that could be better handled by half the number. With only one available fire engine in the department, no such long chances shoul€ be taken as at present in regard to that useful apparatus. At present the steamer responds to only a call from two-boxes in the city, and when wanted at other fires a special alarm is sent in and after the fire has gain- ed great readway, There arc section of the city where the water pressure is nt up to the standard and where the service of the steamer is absolutely needed in the event of a fire. There- fore when there is a fire in tho Jow- water sectlons this steamer should be required to respond to the very first alarm. There are many defects in the present system that should be reme- died. It is suggested that the mayor, fire committee, chief engineer and as- sistants and the officers of tho fire de- artment hold a littlo smoke talk and perhaps the result would be a better- ment of the service of the fire dopart- ment, and without any material in- crease over the present schedule of expenses.
