Bead and Jet Ornaments in a Wide Variety, Are Being Used by Milliners This Season.

Two charming hats, either of which might he fashioned by the home milliner, are illustrated here. The larger of the two hats has a brim of velvet and crown of soft felt embroidered in chenille in contrasting colors. The brim might be of black or dark brown and the crown a gray or 'soft tan, with flame-colored chenille for the necessary color contrast. The smaller hat, made of black or navy blue velvet, is an excellent model to select for wear with one of the serge or gaberdine street dresses so fashionable now. The soft crown is surrounded by a rolled brim which Is covered over with jet nail heads. Nail heads were extensively used as

millinery and dress trimming several

years ago, and they have never been entirely relegated to oblivion, especial

son some Ingenious milliner develops a few models with nail head trimming,

and for the fall and winter of 1917-18

they are generously exploited.

Honors for Western Canada Come Year After Year. At the recent Soil Products Exposition at Pepria. Til., in a keen contest for the coeted first prize for wheat, Western Canada has again carried off all the honors. Not only has she won the first, but also the second and third prizes. Those were won by Mr. S. Larcombe, of Kirvlo, Manitoba. In past years tho Province of Saskatchewan had the distinguished honor of carrying off the Initial prize. Harvesting and threshing are now completed in Western Canada, and white it Is early in the season to give exact figures as to tho average yield per acre of wheat, oats, barley and flax It Is safe to assume that the former will yield about 20 bushels per acre. The price to the farmer will be about $2.00 ner bushel, riving him

$40.00 an acre of a return. When it is considered that the land upon which this wheat is grown averaged less than $30 an acre, it takes very little figuring to arrive at an estimate of the profit (here is to the grain grower of Western Panada. The writer knows where a farmer purchased lf0 acres of land In the spring of 101G. broke it up ihe same year, put It in wheat in 1917. His crop was harvested a few days ago. It yielded 4,S(0 bushels and he sold it at $2.05 per bushel, giving him .$9.840. The land cost him $4.800. breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and threshing, .$1.920. His profit was $3.120 after paying for his hind and

his costs of Improving. He has now $3,120 to commence another season with a "paid for in full" improved farm. Never has farming offered such profitable returns for labor as at present and nowhere is the large profit equal to that Of the low priced, high yielding lands of Western Canada. There has been a big rush during the past few weeks of renters and owners of Ugh, priced lands In many parts of the United States to Investigate these 100 profit reports. No better season of the year could be selected by anyone desiring to better their condition and wishing to give Western Canada the "once over." Threshing is now completed and the grain being marketed. The weather Is fine and will be pleasant for a couple oi" months and a visit now to personally investigate the conditions will be convincing and profitable. While old home ties and family associations are one of the first considerations in the mind of the reader, who feels that 'the old five or ten per cent return Is sufficient, it behooves the modern and progressive farmer always to be on the alert to grasp the opportunities of the hour. Land in Western Canada that is annually producing a gross return of from $40.00 to $80.00 per acre Is purchasable at from $15 to $80 per

acre. It can be seen at a glance that Hats That May Be Made at Home.

LACE AGAIN IS IN FASHION

Need of Helping the Workers France and Belgium Caused Revival of Mode.

Real lace is again in fashion. The

need of helping the lace workers of France and Belgium started this mode.

Wnmnn nf wenlth and position in

France used their influence by sponsoring in war relief sales of old and new laces. Grande couturiers lent their aid by using a great deal of veritable lace in their new creations. As a result many lovely gowns and blouses are shown made or trimmed with lace. Among the kinds noted are Bruges, princess, appliquö, the Spanish bobbin Jaces, thread lace and filet, with some guipure and valenciennes. Mounted over filmy foundations or linings of flesh or white chiffon or net, sometimes in several tints and layers, the effect is about the richest thing that could be thought of in woman's attire.

New Undergarment Designed for Women Who Dance, Skate or Engage in Active Work.

GAVE UP HOPE Often Wished For Death to End Her Misery. Doan's Effected a Complete and Lasting Recovery. "I was helpless with kidney trouble," says Mrs. Ellen Janls, 1404 N. Third St., St. Charles, Mo., "and began to think my ease was beyond the reach of medicine. The pain in my back UM me up in bed and it

seamed as if my back had been crushed. I couldn't sleep and was so nervous I was almost frantic. "Flashes of fire came before my eyes and the pains in my head were terrible. My sight was affected and there were large,

beneath my eyes.

"How I suffered when passing the kidney secretions! I screamed in agony and I often wished I might die and be out of misery. I had night sweats and mornings on getting up I was so weak and numb I could hardly stand up. I grew so pale and emaciated I looked like death.

A new undergarment of silk jersey, designed for women who skate, dance or do active war work, has been named tUe Pettlbocker and combines the features of both petticoat and knickerbockers. The bloomers are gathered on an elastic at the waist, cut extra full, and with cuffs also gathered on elastic bands. They are long enough to reach below the calf of the leg, but should be worn directly below the knee. Several Inches above the cuff of each leg a flounce Is attached, slightly gathered, but so put on as not to Interfere with the width of the bloomers at that point. The flounces are designed to reach the hem of the outer skirt and eliminate the necessity of a petticoat, even when the outer garment is of sheer materials. As the flounces are attached above the elastics, they will be pulled up just as the outer skirt is pulled up when the wearer is sitting, instead of showing beneath as did the flounces of the old "tango garters."

It was a Sunday evening at Ft. Benjamin Harrison and the crowd of sisters, mothers, aunts and slght-seers was waiting at the Interurban station for a car. At last one eamo. At the same time a crowd of soldiers with leave to go to the city arrived. It was evident that the lone car and its small trailer could not carry all the passengers. The soldiers held a little consultation, and then suddenly offered to the women the use of the train. They said they would wait for another car. The train filled with sisters, mothers, aunts and slght-seers left the little group, and the soldiers were thanked many times for the favor. At the siding just cast of town the

train bearing all these civilians was stopped and backed on to a switch. Two minutes later a car loaded with
