SEASON OF SENSIBLE DRESS
Short, Marrow skirts. Turnover Col
lars, Lack Of Pettleoats and Belts
and Light, Plnless Hats.

II really looks as though we we're
again facing n season Of sensible
clothes. This may sound like an ex'
travagant statement In view Of the
freakishness that has been offered,
but those who deal in the subject Of
hygiene and health for women are In
favor OF the clothes of today.
The short, narrow skirts, with their
freedom from weight, the high waist,
with its freedom from laoing, the long
coutil corsets which protect the vital
organs, the elastics which do not bind
the limbs, the sensible boots with
their sturdy soles and high uppers, the
turnover collar, which does not press
upon the thyroid gland and puncture
the skin with its high bones; the lack
of petticoats and belts about the
waist, which tighten and stop circu'
lation; the simple coiffure which re-
places the large artificial one, and the
lightweight, pinless hats which cannot
produce headache or fatigue, all make
for health.
1t looks as though the summing up
of the distinct advantages of modern
dress prove that we have the balance
of sense and comfort on fashions side.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE sBAcK TO THE LAND" CRY
Is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state OF Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
tion 10 the story about to be related
the writer was shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared 10 be a high fg-
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops Of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
It. But It wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at S32b an
acre. over In Illinois, down In In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line In Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton Is directed TO Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price Of lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to FIVE dollars an
acre, with the prospect OF a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent
and In a few words It may be pointed
out that the lands are worth great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist OF
Minneapolis, paper that was one OF
the first Of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits Of the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: "The reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro-
dueed in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
Is afraid land values in Canada viii be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value Of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months $4,000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly Of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
we'll as the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study OF the In
crease in the acreage Of land put un-
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

Machine Tucks,

A popularity of some of the very
prettiest French lingerie waists of the
season is that the tucks are put on by
machine and not by hand, although
the waists are trimmed with real lace
and a bit of hand embroidery. The
reason is that they are intended for
wear, and only machine-run tucks will
stand the summer resort washerwom-
an.
"Hand-run tucks run" said lover
of fine stitching. IF you look at them
they run, and the fine thread neces-
sary for fine handwork has no show
whatever in a steam laundry. In my
opinion that is where these so-called
hand laundresses send their work, for
no two hands could finish the amount
some women take home and return on
time. The most expensive waists
have last no time at all when am
away for the summer unless they are
dry cleaned, and for that they have to
be sent to town, and it's an expensive
proposition"

FLoUNCES ARE ADJUSTABLE
Several Ruffles to Button on Close Fit
ting Jersey Petticoat, Matching
Various Gowns.

Adjustable fiounces in petticoats are
not entirely new, but until recently it
has not been easy to buy ready made
these convenient Transformations. Nor
one can indulge in a close fitting jer-
sey top-which will outwear half a
dozen founces-and with 1t several
ruffies to button on.
One of these flounces can be Of soft
satin finely knife plated and edged
with ruche; another more service
able of moireen, tucked and with a
narrow plating at bottom; a third Of
changeable silk.
The flounces are finished with a
buttonholed band, while buttons to cor
respond are placed on the petticoat. In
this way it is easy to use remnants Of
dress lining and have a petticoat to
match each gown.
Such a petticoat is convenient for
the traveller, as the flounces fold into
much smaller compass than the same
number of skirts.

Or. Chalmers Mitchell Doubts
Natural Deaths Occur Among Any
Animals Including Man.

DR.. Chalmers Mitchell, secretary Of
the Geological Society of London, in
a lecture on Problems of Animals in
Captivity" at the Royal institution,
said;
ut is extremely doubtful If really
natural death ever does occur in any
kind of animal, including man."
Doctor Mitchell supported Metchni
koff's theory that the changes Of
genility are the result Of external ac-
cidents, Of the poisons Of various dis
eases or Of unsanitary conditions. II
all these causes were removed Iaost
animals, including men, would live to
a far greater age than they do now.
To an animal living in a perfectly
Ihygienic world, sheltered from all
diseases, death would eventually come
as the result OF the slow accumulation
or waste matters Of all kinds in the
tissues.

whined.
The dog appeared at the mouth of
the cave and glared and growled at
the girl. He had seen girls before,
but never one in a cave. She wasn't
