This is the way
with the Ball corset: if you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don't
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks’
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of It
though. Soft Eyelets, and
"bones" that can’t break or
kink—Ball’s corsets have
both of these.

A Little Fatherly Advice.
“If ever you marry,” said an old gen
tleman to his son, “let It be a woman
who has judgment enough to superin
tend the getting of a meal, taste enough
to dress herself, pride enough to wash
her face, and sense enough to use Dr.
Pierced Favorite Prescription whenever
she needs it.” The experience of the
aged has shown the “Favorite Presciip-
tion” to be the best for tho cure of ail
female weaknesses and derangements.
Good sense is shown by getting the rem
edy from your druggist, aud using it
whenevor you feel weak and debilitated.
It will invigorate and caunot possibly do
harm.
