the officer in perplexity and finally
shook her head.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
PaItine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.


Last week It was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield OF about 2O0,000,0O0 bushels OF
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100,00O,000 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con
firmation OF this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends Of the 100000 or 500 900
Americans who have gone TO Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help Of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage Of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,

is VERY USEFUL GARMENT
Satin or SILK UndersIip Give Simple
Materials a Decided Look
of Elegance.

One Of the most useful things in
the summer wardrobe is a satin on
silk underslip. These gracious under
yiggings give simple materials look
of elegance, and for all dresses Of a
princess nature they are absolutely
needed. For gowns in this style they
must be cut in exactly the same man
ner. A kimono bodice, too, requires
the exact line in the underslip. The
silks used for them are cheap, but as
they are narrow quite seven yards
may be needed for the slip. With a
cheap ready made dress of diaphan-
GUS nature such background is at
once a redemption from the common
place.
