CIeaninc Black Silk.

One of the cleaning processes for
black silk that is far from being
widely known is the coffee method. 1t
is as follows: Boil some coffee until
there is no further aroma rising there
from. Lay the silk article that is
to be sponged on a table or board and
sponge on the side that is to show.
After the sponging is thoroughly
done turn on the wrong side and iron
with fairly hot iron. preferably one
that is kept at a constant heat such
as the gas or electric iron variety,
though the other will do II rapid
changes are made and those changes
are as often as necessary, say, minute
intervals. This will remove the spots
far Oftener than the malt liquor
process that has long been the fash
ion, and not only will this give tone
to the black materials but make the
articles texture appear new. Let dry
slightly before ironing.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president Of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. AS his firm have
a turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks Of the Importance
Of the spring wheat crop Of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
Of the importance of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that 1t can be grown with success in
almost any portion Of the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article
In a land Of such great sweep, and
Of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same overwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches Of the northwest provinces
1t Is the one absorbing topic Of inter
est and Of conversation during its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe Of a large part of the Domin-
Ion. Its influence extends far down
Into the United States, drawing thou
sands OF farmers noTthwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower Of their young men to Its OPP
| portunlties. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
OF those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
| coffin OF that ancient Malthusian de-
luslon that population tends to outrun
the means Of subsistence, since the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger Of over
! stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent Of
Vossible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 2O0,000,000 bushels, SO
that your Imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months Of July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of a 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
lied, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.

Kidney Trouble
Is Very Deceptive
Few Realize They're Affected Till
Danger Point is Reached-Dr.
Derby's Kidney Pills Work
Wonders-Sanple Freel

Kidney disease is much MOI common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trifing af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat OF
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes the
nature of his ail1nent Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs OF diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, inlaned muscles, he may consider In
dications Of some other trouble. UnnaturallY
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are Of
course readily recognized as symptoms Of
such disorders.
Because Of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills.
They are quite different from anything else
In the market. They act in two ways
cleanse the clOgged kidneys of their poison
GUS impurities, strengthen them so they

arrangements, resultant bladder troubles

Thrane's Emergency Call
By A. MARIA CRAWFORD

a book on abdominal surgery and
turned indifferently to the instru-
ment.

Thrane loved his profession and the
lie about being busy was his first act
of disloyalty. Although young man
Of thirty, he was considered the lead
ing surgeon, certainly the most sue
Cessful one, in the city.
On this particular evening he was
not disposed to help humanity, for the
world had gone wrong and the bitter
ness of his first sorrow had made him
mOrOse and sullen. His engagement
to the beautiful Eileen Hunt, three
months before, had made him su-
premely happy. She seemed possessed
of the tact and democratic attitude
toward the masses that go to make a
successful and helpful wife for pro-
fessional man The quarrel had &C.
Cured two days before. yet he was
still ignorant Of the cause.
They had gone to the country club
for dinner and he had thought to him
self at the table that the girl had been
blessed with every feminine attrac-
ton OF beauty and charm. And now
within two months OF their wedding
day, they had quarreled. Over what?
DR.. Thrane closed his eyes and for
the hundredth time tried to recall the
exact conversation.
They had been discussing love. The
topic was natural, for there had been
full moon shining on the river be
fore the clubhouse and the soft
strains Of the waltz from Salome had
reached them from the ballroom.
What was 1t he had said? Some
thing about the moon making a man
say foolish things, he remembered.
Then she had grown strangely quiet
and when he tried to penetrate her
silence and learn the cause, she had
told him that probably he had been
foolish when he proposed to her; II
was moonlight then. she reminded
him coolly. All his protestations to

How to Keen Younu,

Some women attain a graceful old
age by adopting the following rules:
Forget disagreeable things, keep your
nerves well in hand and inflict them
on no one; master the art of saying
pleasant things; do MOI expect too
much from your friends; make what
ever work that comes to you con-
genial; retain your illusions and don't
believe all the world wicked and I'M
kind; relieve the miserable and sym
pathize with the sorrowful. These
few rules will, at least, make the
world brighter 10 yourself and others.

there was keen rivalry between them.

much fine wines and other costly
goods and, anyhow. I'd rather sell for
cash in the poorer sections than wait
for the accounts Of the rich" So he
consented and an agreement was
drawn up and signed.
