are of all sizes and shapes round
square, oblong and three cornered.
Chiffon broadcloth is frequently used
in combination on lace gowns, which
latter should be heavy and bold in de-

Russian lace, too, is suitable and comes
in lovely twine color.
For wear with tailor made costumes
nothing looks better than embroidered
linen collars and cuffs. Where these
are not becoming the embroidered mus
lin sets beloved of Partisan women are
attractive. Soft silk stocks, with pret-
tily arranged bows, the ends worked In
silk, are an appropriate alternative to
the plain linen collar.
The gown illustrated is Of mode vel

panels. The bolero jacket is adorned
with tiny plaltings of taffeta and tuck
ell green emerald velvet straps. The
buttons are of green.

ALASKA SALMON.
Procession of the Four Varieties Of

SALES ARE ENORMOUS.
Cooper Preparations Leading Topic in Cincinnati Callers
Young Mans Headquarters Interviewed.

Cincinnati, o., April 9.-The most
interesting feature of the enormous sale
of the Cooper preparations, now going
on in this city, is what the medicines
are actually accomplishing among
the people oil Cincinnati.
At the commencement OF his visit
here Mr.. Cooper prophesied that dur
ing the later part of his stay he would
receive hundreds of callers daily who
came simply to thank him for what
the preparations had done. He also
stated that stomach trouble is the
foundation for great many diseases
and that his New Discovery, as 1t Is
called, would prove very effective in
cases of rheumatism simply by getting
the stomach in working order.
That this prophecy has been fulfilled
cannot be doubted after a half hour
spent at the young mans headquarters
listening to what the callers have to
say,
A reporter, who watched to ascer-
tain, If possible, some light on the
reasons for the immensity of Coop
er's success interviewed about twenty
OF his callers yesterday afternoon. The
statements made by those seen indi-
cate that physicians who claim that
Cooper is merely passing fad, have
not looked into the facts.
Some OF these statements were as
follows: Miss Sallie Middleton liy-
ing at 1857 Central Av. upon being
questioned, said:

weakness, dizziness, headache, sleep

Another statement was made by Mr..

said: II have been sufferer with

who had previously used the medi-

success throughout the c. untry is gen

say that the upholders of any bad sys-

do not say that Italian brigands are
without any moral merits But, how
ever good or evil may be mingled in
the character of an italian brigand,
nobody ever said that in dealing with
persons of that profession you were
not to attack individuals.
You do not, in dealing with brigands,
say that you merely attack the system.

a little fichu with shoulder bretelles
attached, which Is made to cross over

with ends sticking down below the
waist line This Is made with two
straight pieces, which are laid in plalts
surpllce fashion, the bretelles being cut
all in one piece and a narrower exten-
sion being put on the surplice ends in
front, so they girdle the waist like 4

these points and to match the buckle

Braiding Is to take the place of en-
broiderles on street costumes. On
many of the handsome silk and cloth

For wear with tailor made clothes
the plaid silk skirt is very popular fin

are trimmed with plain silk, lace braid

All dark waists should have touch

The reason Vinol Is so far superior
to old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions, is because it is a real cod
liver preparation from which all the
useless oil has been eliminated and
tonic iron added.

SEEDING COMMENCED IN
 WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects fer Large Acreage to
 Be Sewn in Wheat.

St. Paul. April A 1907-Werd has been received at the office of the Canadian Government in St Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch- evan and Alberta
 The heavy snowfall during the past winter has left the ground in splendid shape for successful seeding opera tions. The fine weather of the past few days has taken much Of the frost out oi the ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district in which the seeder is not being oper- ated. The most optimistic conditions exist and in all districts the farmers are busy getting things in shape There will be q very large acreage sown in spring wheat. oats and barley At many points throughout the three provinces the newcomers are busy un- loading their stock and effects work ing night and day in order to get on their farms and become active agen- cies in the effort to make the year 1907 the banner year in grain produc- ing in Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, 1t will be seen that Western Canada ranks amongst the first in the line of seeding opera tions for the present year. It is safe to say that farmers who get in their erep before the 20th or 24th of May, will receive magnificent returns A number of tb@se coming in this spring, who had not their land prepared last fall. will break up enough land 10 get in q crop of oats and barley and prob ably some flax. This. together with the vegetables they will plant will give them ample food for themselves and stock during the coming summer and winter, These early seeding oper- ations are not confined to one district. but are spread over country 900 miles long by 400 miles in width
 The agents of the Canadian Govern ment, located at different points throughout the United States, are bnsy giving information regarding the many new districts that are being made available for settlers. Low rail- way rates, information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere in this paper.
