CANRDA WINS AGAIN

This Time at the International Soil Products in Oklahoma. Last year and the year before, and the year before that, the farm products of Western Canada carried off first premiums, championships and honours, together with medals and diplomas, feats that were likely to give a swelled head to any other people than those who had so much more behind. At Columbus, Ohio, and then again at Columbia,, North Carolina, a farmer of Saskatchewan carried oft the highest prize for oats, and in another year, will become the possessor of the >1,500 Colorado Trophy; another fanner made two successful exhibits of wheat at the biggest shows in the United States; another farmer of Manitoba won championships and sweepstake at the live stock show in Chicago, and this year expects to duplicate his successes of last year. Thbße winnings are the more creditable as none of the cattle were ever fed any corn, but raised and fattened on nature grasses and small grains. At the Dry Farming Congress held at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and Saskatchewan, farmers carried oft the principal prizes competing with the world. The most recent winnings of Canada have been made at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where seven of the eigh-•-teen sweepstakes rewards at the International Soil Products Exposition were taken by Canada in competition with eleven states. The chief prize, a thrashing machine, valued at $1,200 for the best bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan. Montana took four of the sweepstakes, Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two. Russia sent one delegate, Spain had two, Belgium three, China four, Canada fifty, Mexico five, Norway one, Brazil three. In the district In which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well.. Mr. Gerlack Is to be congratulated as well as the Province of Saskatchewan, and Western Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved In both grain and cattle. —Advertisement

Had to Be Careful.

An old man who had led a sinful life was dying, and his wife sent for a nearby preacher to pray with him. The preacher spent some time praying and talking, and finally the old man said: “What do you want me to do, parson?” , “Renounce the devil! Renounce the devil!” replied the preacher. “Well, but, parson," protested the dying man, II ain't in position to make any enemies."

ERUPTION SPREAD ON FACE

810 East Elm St., Streator, Ill.—“A running sore broke out above my right eye, which spread over my entire face. It started as a small pimple. I scratched it open and the contents of this small pimple, ran down my face. Wherever this ran a new sore appeared. They itched and burned terribly; I couldn’t touch-my face it burned so. It disfigured my face terribly and I couldn’t be seen for everyone was afraid of it. It looked like a disease of some kind; it was all red and a heavy white crust on it. Everybody kept out of my way, afraid it would spread. I lost rest at night and I couldn’t bear to have anything touch my face, not even the pillow. I had to He on the back of the head. I was always glad when morning came so I could get up. It was extremely painful. “At last I thought of Cutlcura Soap and Ointment and I commenced using them. It took three weeks to complete the cure.” (Signed) Miss Caroline Miller, Apr. 30, 1913. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p. Skin Book.

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE

Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Married Man Lives Longer Than the Bachelor.

It is a good thing for a man to have a wife to look after his ingoings and outcomings—to enforce regularity in his mode of living—to see that he is clothed according to the requirements of the temperature, and takes his umbrella when there is likelihood of showers, and gets good meals at stated hours. Jacques Bertlllon, the French expert on occupational mortality, has found that low death rates occur particularly in occupations in which the workman is under more or less supervision as regards not only health but also habits of life, and in which he is surrounded by influences tending to prevent dissipation, and conducive to regular hours and regular habits. Bank clerks and fiduciary employes who feel their responsibilities are types of this. Bertillon attributes much the same influence to marriage and family life. The married man is supervised for his own good, and, having added incentives to self-restraint and to the care of his health, he has a lower mortality than the bachelor. —Journal of the American Medical Association.

Greatly Desired Lady.

It would appear from bits of the social gossip of her day that Miss Bur-dett-Coutts’ nearest approach to an occupation was refusing offers of marriage. It is stated that the name of the “Prince of Adventures” was connected with hers; that she refused the duke of Wellington and a score of lesser gentlemen. For years the great heiress was the most glittering matrimonial prize in England, and when at last she consented to change her condition by marrying an American, a London club wit struck a responsive chord by observing, “I don’t blame Ashmead Bartlett for proposing to the baroness. I’ve done it myself. I regard it as a duty every Englishman owes to his family.”—“lntimate Memoirs of Napoleon in.”

FULLY NOURISHED Grape-Nuts a Perfectly Balanced Food.

No chemist’s analysis oi Grape-Nuts can begin to show the real value of the food—the practical value as shown by personal experience. It is a food that is perfectly balanced, supplies the needed elements for both brain and body in all stages of lifs from the infant, through the strenuous times of active middle life, and is a comfort and support in old age. “For two years I .have used GrapeNuts with milk and a little cream, for breakfast. I am comfortably hungry for my dinner at noon. “I uee little meat, plenty of vegetables and fruit, in. season, for the noon meal, and if tired at tea time, take Grape-Nuts alone and feel perfectly nourished. “Nerve and brain power and memory are much improved since using Grape-Nuts. I am over sixty and weigh 155 lbs. My son and husband seeing how I had improved are now using Grape-Nuts. , "My son, who is a traveling man, eats nothing for breakfaet but GrapeNuts and a glhss of milk. An aunt, over 70, seems fully nourished on Grape-Nuts and cream." “There’s a Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Wellvllle,” in pkgs.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

IN INFINITE VARIETY

NO FIXED RULE FOR THE SKIRTS NOW WORN. If the Effect is Tapering the Wearer May Be Sure She Has the Fashionable Touch—Charming Evening Model. One almost forgets the novelty of the new blouses In the infinite variety that is shown in the skirts. There is no rule to order them by, beyond that they must be of small circumference at the feet. Yards of material ,may be incorporated above, but the effect must be a tapering one, whether started from below the hips or below the knee. As there is a decided tendency toward a pannier-likc bouffancy under the hips, the tapering will be noticed most often from the knees down. The vogue for the short outstanding tunic skirt, known in French as le minaret> provides an attractive medium for the> attainment of the approved silhouette. It is seen in various forms. Sometimes there are two, and even three, such flounces, but always of a transparent fabric. They are thinly wired around the lower edge and trimmed with bead fringes, chiffon flowers or fur. A charming evening model along these lines is shown in the accompanying illustration. Rose petal pink chiffon U used for the corsage and minaret tunic. The round line of the latter is broken in front by the lifted plait in the material. Besides being wired, the lower edge is bound with dark fur. Fur is again used as a border on the arm sides. There are no sleeves; the materip.l is merely extended beyond the shoulder and caught under the arm like an angel sleeve.

Deep shadow lace flouncing is used for the second tunic, attached to a foundation of thin white silk, and a hand cut from the scalloped edge of the same lane runs across the lower half of the corsage, veiled all around

Rose Petal Chiffon.

by the chiffon except where the decolletage is left open in front. A deep, draped girdle of pirik chiffon with a huge chou caught directly in front completes the blouse. The lower skirt is of black crepe meteor, slashed and draped and attached to the white silk foundation, so that the upper part of it is veiled by shadow lace flouncing.

UTILIZING THE OLD FURS

Never Was There a Season In Which the Odd Bits Could Be Better Employed. nils is a good year to make use of every bit of old fur you may have on hand. For it is a year when small touches of fur are much used. Day clothes, for both street and house, are trimmed with fdr, evening gowns and accessories show it, and even underclothes are decorated with it. So trot out your old furs and see what you can do with them. If you have a collar and muff set that is in fairly good condition you can do much to rejuvenate it by means of a little color. Try lining the muff with, say, bright green satin, and then fasten a big bow of green satin ribbon, to match the lining, on the collar. Or put a ruffle of colored chiffon in the ends of the muff and another under the ends of the Collar. Small pieces of fur that are in good condition may be made into snug little waistcoats to wear under the street suit coat. A pattern for waistcoats may be bought and the waistcoat cut of cotton cloth, fitted, altered and the fur cut frdm this corrected pattern. Fur is used on velvet hats. A strip of fur to band the crown of a velvet hat is a finish that is attractive. Fur bows, faced with colored silk or satin to match the lining of the muff and the bow on the collar, are also interesting. Another use for old strips of fur that good condition's for neck ruffs of various sorts. Tulle can be plaited, wired at the edges and edged with fur. Or velvet ribbon foui* inches wide can t< laid in small box plaits

SACHET IN A. NEW DESIGN

For the Glove* and Handkerchiefs There Can Be Nothing Better Than This. Novel suggestions for handkerchief and glove sachets are always welcome, since they are useful articles to prepare for sale in a bazaar and also they make most acceptable gifts. In our sketch may be seen a particularly pretty sachet of quite a new design that can be carried out in any delicate shade of pale pink silk, lined with soft silk and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon chosen- in some pleasantly contrasting shade of color.

The diagram on the right shows the shape in which the material should be cut out. The two portions B and C on which the handkerchiefs and gloves rest should be stiffened with an interlining of thin cardboard sewn in between the silk and,the lining.

The two flaps, A and A, are folded downwards on to B, and sewn down at the edges, and this forme the pockets for the handkerchief. The portion D is folded on to C, and treated in the same manner. Ribbon strings are provided to secure the case when closed, and in the right hand sketch this may be seen accomplished and the ribbons tied in a neat little bow.

The design which appears on the pockets, and also on the exterior of the sachets, may be easily worked from our sketch, and consists of white dog roses and leaves embroidered in various shades of green.

Vivid Hued Sashes.

Sashes are everywhere. A novelty sash ribbon about eight Inches wide is of heavy silk striped gayly in variegated worsteds. Another sash, in a rich autumnal shade of brown, shows markings of mustard, red and green; a deep violet sash is striped with yellow, green and rose. The vivid hues of the Roman stripings afre expressed in innumerable combinations. Sash ribbons are usually sold in one and a half yard lengths if it is desired to carry them only once around the waist and two and a half yard lengths if they are to be passed twice around. Handsome Roman ®ilks in the stripings which distinguish our grandmother’s little-girl sashes come in thirtyinch widths and may be used very effectively, indeed, for waistcoats and for high, draped girdles.

White a Fashionable Color.

White promises to be fashionable this season. White broadcloths are satins are used for many of the newest trimming on street and house costumes, and a few>of the latest Paris gowns show deep collars of ermine. White is also chosen tn tie fashioning of many house frocks, especially those airy creations Intended for the debutante and her still more youthful sister.

and finished with a band of fur through the center, tied sungly about the throat with ribbon ends. Evening frocks of filmy texture - lace, chiffon, gauze and other thin materials—can be effectively trimmed with touches of fur. A chiffon or tulle tunic edged with fur, fur buttons on a lace bodice, a buckle of fur at the girdle or somewhere on the skirt drapery—all these are interesting. Pur collars are much used 'on evening coats, and an old fur muff will often be found to contain enough fur for such a collar. It can be lined with satin or with the material of which the coat is made.

The Suspender Girl.

The shirtwaist girl is now going in for suspenders, but they are a glorified version of the idea, which she has stolen from her brother’s wardrobe. In fact, so gorgeous are they that it qpems a pity that they must be covered by the middy blouse which she wears with her tennis and golfing %kirt. The straps are of dull gold or silver lace, supplemented by jeweled chains that hang from each shoulder and in front fasten under a golden horseshoe with a scarab-like center.

Embroidered Hosiery.

Embroidered hosiery, often having lace insets, is being used more extensively than It has for many years. Small, self-embroidered figures seem to be preferred—the startling snakes, mice and spiders no more are seen. But the stocking that matches the gown is quite the thing, and as there is a wider use of colors in woman’s outer apparel there is also an increased, variety in colon of women's hoe lery.

TRUTH FROM YOUTHFUL LIPS

Not Exactly the Answer Spinster Expected, but It Came From the Heart. A middleraged spinster who lived in the suburbs had a fine orchard. She likewise had a heap of trouble with a lot of youngsters, who looked on the orchard as something placed there for their especial benefit. Final'y the spinster decided that she could do more with kindness than with a fence rail, so she prepared a feast of apples and other dainties and invited every small boy in the burg to join the jubilee. “Now, tell mb, boys,” said the hostess at the conclusion of the feast, “would the apples you have just eaten tasted so good had you stolen them?” “No, ma’am,” answered little Willie Smith,, with surprising frankness. “1 am certainly glad to hear you say that, little man,” responded the spinster, with a glow of pleasure. “Why wouldn’t they have tasted so good?” "Because,” came the equally frank reply of Willie, “we wouldn’t have had no ice cream and cake with them.”
