The Slim Figure Again,

The slim silhouette for another season-that is the latest Paris edict, says Woman's Home Com panion for December. The big. famous couturieres today are tyran- nical only about this one thing. They insist upon designing their most effective gowns for only the slim, svelte figure. The large wo- man with large hips. full bust and proportionately large waist is ap- parently regarded too impossible to consider. In all other ways, these Parisian arbiters ot fashion are becoming less and less rigid in their dress edicts and this season. more than ever before. the costumes displayed show an infinite variety of styles.
 On a number of points, however. the largest establishments agree. For instance. shoulders are still narrow, skirts are round in length and fall straight in line. Sleeves are long and narrow for street, but both elbow length and long for in door wear. The transparent sleeve is not so much.seen. Waists def- nitely define the normal waist line. If there is any deviation from this, it is the waistline raised trifie rather than lowered. Draperies are greatly used, but the narrower they are the more fashionable. Coats are seen in all lengths. Dre- coll favors the short suit-coat. Separate coats are invariably long.

EXPERIMENTAL COYOTE FENCE
Forest Expert Making Experiment With Wire Fence Enclosing 1000 Head of Sheep Protecting them Against Coyotes.

J. T.

He is goin to show that sheep thus turned loose in in pasture is an economic business proposition. The only draw back here is lack of water as few sheep men could af- ford to give up a tank simply to run 1000 sheep on. The sheepmen here are very enthusiastic over the proposition and want to see it tried out here. MT. Charles Howard went with Mr. Jardine to the range north of Williams and rode a week with him here. Colin Camp bell, w. H. Campbell and other sheepmen were much interested in MT. Jardine's talk.

ONCE wAsrE-Now WEALTH.

About quarter of a century ago cotton seed was thrown away as absolutely worthless. Today. products representing an enormous total are made from this once-despised cotton seed. Improved processes of crushing and refining the oil have resulted in a product equal to the purest olive oil in nutritive value. From 1t is produced cooking fat (called Cot tolene) which is claimed by physicians to be purer and much more wholesome than lard, and it is much raore economi- cal as well As this fact becomes gener- ally known the use of cotton seed oil in the form of Cottolene will be practically unlimited.

An international stake was named the
Lou Dillon stake, thus leaving no other
course open but to start the champion. The
Berlin association was to understand that
the mare was not yet in form to carry her
speed at long distance. consequently she
was started to cover $50 meters, or about
one and one-third furlongs. Her time for
the distance was given officially as 10
seconds, which was at the rate Of Lis to
the kilometre. The distance and time Of
her performance are such that her speed
showing can be exactly rated according to
our system of computing time In harness
races. Careful figuring shows that by
covering $40 feet and a fraction in 10
seconds, Lou Dillon's speed showing at her
initial start was at the rate of a mile in
2.02.36
In other words, had she covered ga times
more of her distance at the same rate of
speed, or 10 seconds, her mile would have
been a shade faster than 2.O2h. This won
