the milk trust. They are considering
plants to re-establish their own

UNCLE JOE CANNON.
He Also Speaks Well of Canad

He Also Speaks Well of Canada.
No matter what may be the opin-
ion of Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter
If he may be looked upon by some as
a car, and by others as a big, warm
hearted man, with many of the in
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
VINO has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore on
any subject, will have weight Obsery-
ant, he speaks his mind freely He
was interviewed the other day by the
correspondent of a Canadian newspa-
per, he spoke of his admiration for
Canada, and he is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly well the personnel
Of the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal biog-
raphy, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal cCyament, cynical scorn, broad pro-
fanitys and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour, He discussed the Canadian
tariff, and then said: People say l
break the Ten Commandments, all Of
them. But l don't, at least not often.
| did break one of them up in Can
ada two or three years ago. AS l rode
from Winnipeg to the Rockies over
your great West and saw the finest
wheatfields in the world, l thought of
Virginia and lot of our States, and
l smashed the Tenth Commandment
every hour of the journey. Yes, sir,
| coveted my neighbours land"
Coming from a man of the fame of
Mr.. Cannon, these were words that
should have some weight with the
Americans who may still have doubts
of the advantages that are offered to
them in Western Canada. A home
amongst the wheat fields Hundreds
of thousands of Americans are adopt
ing it. They go to Central Canadf,
to any one of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or
to the coast Province Of British Colum-
hia, cake up their homestead of 100
acres, and probably pre-empt another
100 acres, or it may be they do not
care for pioneering twenty or thirty
miles from an existing railway, and
purchase farm. Then they settle
upon it and, having no clearing away
of timber they begin at once to cult
vate it, and make money. That they
make money and much more than they
could possible make on the high-priced
farms they have left, is the evidence
Of hundreds of thousands. They do
not leave civilized life, they but re-
move from one sphere to another
They have splendid social conditions,
churches, schools, rural telephones,
splendid roads, railways, convenient
just the same as what they left, and
what is more, they get much greater
returns from their crops, which give
abundant yield. The climate is per-
feet, and it is no wonder that most
fattering reports are sent back to their
friends in the States, and it is no
wonder that Joe Cannon was tempted
to speak as he did He coveted" his
neighbours land.

SATIN REVIVED.
A Splendid Fabric Being Used for Brit
iSh Court Dress

\ London dispatch states that ma
terials of the most supple texture. with
one notable exception, are being used for
the toilettes worn at the inaugural court
of the season. The exception is the new
satin-which is really old-a splendid
fabric capable of standing alone, revived
from PARKWAY times. 1t will be used for
the petticoats of some gowns as a back
ground for magnificent embrOlderieS, but
mainly for the regulation court train
But the gauZeS are many and novel,
and a characteristic which numbers of
them share is a shot appearance Blend
ed colors of a chameleon-like effect are
the novelty of the moment, and of para
mount beauty are medleys of guinea
gold, all tints of rOSe-with special en-
phasis given to Chantecler, Il cock's-cOmb
red-many brilliant blues and lovely
green's, inclusive of apple and lime for
the youthful and the more stately olives
for those of maturer years.
\ mysterious busting of some other
surface color gives the shot effect to the
fabric, for which purpose pearl, mauve,
clOud-gray and even a curious bronze
brown are frequently chosen.
refinement of effect is more than ever
the study of the dress designers, hence
the very embroideries over which clever
fingers have long labored are yelled Such
is the treatment melted out to the bull
lion and bugle designs, which, however
gain in charm of mystery what they lose
in brilliance by the cloud of finest gauze
with which they are covered.
One-cOlOr schemes are prominent this
season. For example, a rose-colored
toilette will have rose silk or rose bugle
embroidery softened by a tunic and cor
sage yelling of gray net. with here and
there a half yard or so of the decoration
left in native brilIancy.

An Adumbration of Civil Service Reform.

HOW frequently it happens that effort

Ton civil service reform Is no eNcep-

with civil service reform closing all the
regular doors new things must be invented
each four years for the new crop of men to
be recognized; new bureaus, new ways of
representing the government abroad and
new schemes Of sociological activity.
President Taft. in despite of all the
interests and influences working against
such conSummatiOn. has been making
a genuine endeavor to stop wastes i'll

No other medicine for woman's ills

icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia z.

For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backaohe, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
nnequalled for carrying women safely
through the period OF change of life.

A fire started in the dressing room
occupied by FRITZ Scheff at the Nixon
theater, Pittsburg, just before a matinee
and the prima donna's entire wardrobe
was ruined or destroyed. The singer,
with her two maids, was in the room at
the time. and she was about to dress
before going on the stage. One of the
maids had been working with an electric
iron on some of the singers dresses.
The wires became crossed and in an in
slant the furry fnery was in a blaze.
Miss Scheff and her maids ran out of
the room screaming fire, and the stage
hands and actors rushed in a throng to-
ward the room. The stage hose was
soon pumping water into the dressing
room and the stage was entirely Hooded
In the meantime the audience was being
seated and no one knew that a fire
blazed back of the scenes. The actors
hurried out with their wardrobes into
the street. Miss Scheff remained re
markably cool during the excitement.
The play was an hour and a half late
