NEED OF ENOUGH SLEEP.
Perfect Health Can Not Be Attained
or Kept Without It.

The amount Of sleep one needs va
ries, like everything else, with the in
dividual, but for the average person
eight hours OF sleep every night is
just about right. When sleep has been
missed it ought to be made up by a
nap on the following day. Sleep is
natures restorer for all weakness and
WEAKNESS and it rests and refreshes
the new tissue which exercise builds.
With the proper amount of sleep
wrinkles are kept at bay and the skin
does not assume that yellowish, mud
dy look which is seen in many people
who keep irregular hours, and the
checks are inclined to be pink and
rosy with that greatest of all rouges
good health.
A hard, fiat bed, no pillow. and a
perfectly relaxed position, with the
feet down straight and the arms at
the sides in some comfortable posi-
tion, are the constituents for the most
perfect rest. The room must be swept
by an abundance of fresh air the night
through.

NEW KIND OF SATIN.
indication That Modified Empire
styles Are to Be Worn.

There is a new weave Of satin just
displayed which is extra wide. 1t has
been woven for the use of the dress
makers who have orders for the modi-
fed empire skirt, which is not gored.
This seems to indicate early in the
season that the great designers intend
TO keep to this model for the fall
styles. 1t will not be extreme, but
probably carried out on the lovely
slender lines that the later empire
gowns show
In this extra wide lustrous satin
there is a new shade of golden brown
called rum There are also dark grays
in the soft smoke and elephant shades
and # IS whispered that these will
make up the dominant gowns.
The new myrtle tones are also OF
this satin and the brilliant gendarmes
blue.
The grays will be embroidered in
heavy silk bullion and padded silk
floss in three shades Of gray. Here
and there there viii be a touch of sill
yer fringe, and when the gowns are
built for elaborate evening wear, to
be worn with a hat, the guimpes and
long, wrinkled sleeves will be of the
new coarse tulle embroidered with
silver and rhinestones.
There seems to be a good deal of
evidence coming from oil sides that
the dull grays are to take the place
of vivid colors for elaborate gowns.

THE CALL Of The SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff contributor OF a southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm Of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter Of the
city. He says: 1T is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and Its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, flnanCiers--have as rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it IS to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds Of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry Of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter OF ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finau-
Cial flurry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because Of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great fnancier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired Of
the struggle He lays down his pen
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment In lands. No
investment Is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain Investment During the past

the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 100 acres
each accessible to railways. markets,
schools, churches, &c. These are val.
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &c.

it couldn't be done.
