One Of the cleaning processes for

from. Lay the silk article that Is

WOMAN'S FOOT GROWS LARGER
Shoe Manufacturers Say Number
Two Shoe ls Now Almost
Obsolete.

Shoe manufacturers claim that the
American woman's foot is growing
larger. The number two shoe is al
most obsolete. they say. and sizes
four and FIVE are much commoner
than three The explanation seems
to be that the phenomenon is due to
the increased use Of the feminine foot
as a means of locomotion. The con-
stantly increasing number OF women
engaged in industry and the growth
in popularity Of tennis, golf and walk
ing have had their inevitable result.
and common sense has done much to
abolish the wearing Of plnching shoes.
The tradition that small feet are an
excellent thing in women has per
sisted long and will not die without
a struggle. Conservatives need not
fear that women will carry this mat
ter too far; they know when to stop.

GREAT VARIETY IN COLLARS
New Models In Profuslon, and Many
Old Ones Retain Their
Popularity.

A large variety Of fall collars is be
ing shown for fall. While the newer
models do not show the regulation
sailor collar, many are made with the
new shaped sailor. which almost
reaches to the waist line, but is con-
siderably narrower than the old style.
Large round collars and pointed col
lars are also much In evidence.
Hoods and hood effects are meeting
with considerable success. Some OF
the coats have the collars made so as
to have an adjustable hood which can
be used to cover the head when de-
sired. When unbuttoned It forms q
sailor collar.
Double collars, consisting Of deep
cape collar coming over the shoulders
and a small rundown collar. usually
of another material, are also seen In
the lines. While the majority Of coats
have the rundown collar, few are
made with the standing military col
lar.

FIVE TREES ARE REMARKABLE
eoftar, Found In tlubla and Soudan,
Produces Whlstllng Sound
"CoW Tree" Gives Milk.

The "whistling tree" or acacia rs.
tula. Is found in Nubia and the Sou
dan. The Arabs call II "soffar." or
pipe. because OF the whistling sound
that 1t produces. and the specific
name Of ''fistula." word also mean
Ing pipe or Aute. has been given It
for the same reason.
Insects infest the tree. and deposit
their eggs In its shoots. A gall-like
excrescence. about an inch and half
in diameter. is produced at the base
Of the shoots. and when the larvae
have emerged from circular holes in
the sides Of the shoots. the holes,
played upon by the wind. produce
whistling sound equal to that pro-
duced by sweet-toned flute.
The COW tree" is so called be-
cause It yields an abundant supply Of
milk. To obtain the milk. deep in
cisions are made in the tree. from
which the fluid flows into vessels
placed ready to receive It. This vege-
table milk is white, somewhat viscid.
and has an agreeable flavor; and an
analysis Of It shows that 1t is very
much like the milk Of a COW In its
composition. The COW tree grows on
the slope Of the mountain chain Dor
dering on Venezuela.
The "cloth tree" is found at 0ta.
heite In the South Sea. The bark Is
taken OF in long strips and put to
soak over night in running water.
The soaking softens 1t. so that the
inner fiber may be easily separated
from the rest Of the bark. The fibers
are put together in lengths Of about
eleven or twelve yards. and the
lengths are placed side by side until
they are at least twelve inches in
width, and two or three layers Of
flbers are put one upon another.
The fibers adhere together in one
piece. and the material thus formed
is beaten upon a smooth piece Of
wood until 1t becomes as thin as mus
lin. 1t is then bleached in the air
for a time. when It is ready to be
made up into clothing.
The "stinging tree" Of Queensland
is pleasing to the eye but dangerous
to the touch. Its effects are curious:
II causes great pain to the person or
animal that has the misfortune to
get stung by 1t, but II leaves no
wound. no mark Of any kind. And
for months afterwards the part stung
is painful in rainy weather. or when,
in any way, It gets wet. Frequently
II is necessary to shoot horses and
dogs that have been stung by the tree.
so maddening is its effect upon them.
The angry tree" grows in Nevada,
eastern California and Arizona. When
in the least disturbed this highly
sensitive tree shows its anger by ruff
fling up its leaves and emitting a die.
agreeable odor.

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
turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took q 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 we'll
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been q 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:-

Of such difference in soil and climate,

stretches Of the northwest provinces

growing and its harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal

ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States. drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy

flower Of their young men to its op-
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-
fusion 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
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 2OO.OOO,0OO bushels. SO

metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out

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

reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.
