There appears tp be a wrong idea with regard to*tHe electrical power generated at Kingston Mills by John | M. Campbell, and part of which has | Been offered to the Utilities Commis-| sion of Kingston. Mr. €ampbell is not depending upon Kingston sak- ing thie' surplus he has to offer, for he can éasily dispose of it tof other places in the immediaté vicinity. In return for the ratepayers giving him the privilege of bringing in power from Kingston Mills for his flour mills here, Mr. Campbell offered to sell the cily the surplus power at three-quarters of a cent a kilowatt hour. The agreement is still held in it by the Hydro-Electric Commis- sion. The new members of the tilities Commission, it is under- stood, will endeavor to have the agreement changed, so that it willl be satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. Campbell, it is said, would just as soon see Kingston gét Seymour pow- er, as he can very easily dispose of his surplus elsewhere. \ LS seb Annotineements Notices of any character re- ating.to future events, where an « admission fee vis charged, are Inserted in the advertising columns at 10c a line for frst Insert) and 5c a line for each confeétutive insertion; or 10c a line 'each 4nsertion.

The most expensive help we have ever em- ployed has been the lowest priced. We have all found bargains. Only a few have meant real good investment for it is only at intervals we get a real bargain. ' In the commercial world to-day we general- Iv get what we pav for--or less. Women buy low priced Corsets, too--but in most' cases they are not cheap. A Corset out of shape--is worse than no Corset at-all--that's what soon happens to a poorly constiueted low priced Corset. _ No one can make a good fitting Cotset out of cheap materials--especially cheap boning. Such Corsets are not cheap; it is only the price that is "cheap." A %Hurchaser gets what she pays for. The day for merely price argument is pass- ing--if it has not already passed. Of course extravagant prices are and will always he as objectionable as they ever were, but serviceability and heauty, all that js sum- med up in the word quality--are to-day the con- trolling factors in the majority of purchases. The question is no longer, "What must 1 pay," but "What do I get for what 1 pay?' and this is. very noticeable in the matter of CORSETS. We are sole agents in Kingston for the sale of the following Corsets, that have attained a great reputation both in the United States and in Canada: ¢ BON TON CORSETS ROYAL WORCESTER CORSETS MODART CORSETS 5 $2.50 to $8.00 From these new models we can certainly pick a Corset for vou that swill start vou on the road for a better figure.
