WHY HORSE DISLIKES CAMEL
Disapproves. From Bottom Of His Ma
ture of HopelessIy Vulgar and
Awkward Animal of Desert.

Animals have their likes and dislikes
as we'll as men, and they are quite as
hard to explain
A cat naturally dislikes and fears a
dog. The elephant hates mice and
dogs. Horses loathe camels, and will
not stay in the same block with them
II they can help it,
1t is hard to give cause for these
aversions. Why should the horse dis
like the harmless camel and be fond
Of the dog?
1t must be that the horse has a
dormant sense of beauty and of humor.
The ideal Of the horse is grace, CON-
bined with strength. He disapproves
from the bottom of his nature of tho
hopelessly vulgar, awkward and un-
esthetlcal camel. The bear, he sees
at once, though clumsy, is unpreten-
tious, truthful and not devoid of a
sense of humor. The dog he recognizes
as a good fellow, companionable and
unselfish. A strong bond between the
dog and the horse is that they are both
fond of sport, whereas camel would
not go an inch to see the best race
that was ever run.

CURED ITCHING AND BURNING

II was taken with the itch in April,
1904, and used most everything. I
had friend pay me a visit from
Cumberland, and she advised me to
use Cuticura Remedies which I did.
The cure was certainly quick, and
use them to this day. I had it terri
bly, under my knees. I only used one
box of pills, but two boxes OF Cuti-
cura Ointment, and I use the Cuti-
cura Soap all the time. I hope this

In later letter Miss Johnson adds:
"The trouble began with an eruption
under my knees, and extended up
wards toward my waist, until I was
not able to sit down. It kept a con-
slant itching and burning all the time,

but he could do me no good after

cried all tho time. Finally I made
up my mind to try Cuticura Rem
edies, and tried Cuticura Pills, Oint-
ment and Soap, and was entirely
cured of the itching three days after
I started using them. The healing
took about eight days. I consider
Cuticura Remedies marvellous, and

Buy Ready.Made Linens.

Most housewives nowadays effect
great saving in many ways by buying
their bed linen and towels ready made.
These are offered attractively hem
stitched at reasonable prices. But you
must conform to regulation sizes and
qualities.
Many mistakenly believe that they
can economize by buying sheeting or
toweling by the yard and doing the
hemming or hemstitching themselves.
The woman of leisurely hours who
loves to sew and who perhaps wants
to elaborate the hens with more or
less intricate drawn work may find
this worth while. Most women will
find it advisable to stick to the ready
mades.

IF it Is true las those who make
it their business to know, say it
isl that American women have
less hair than the women of other
lands, then we are compelled to ad-
mire the cleverness with which they
conceal this deficiency. One would
naturally infer that a variety of styles
in Embarrassing would be impossible
to them, but this is not the case at
all. By using switches, chignons,
transformations and the many other
devices of dealers in hair goods, all
the pretty conceits in the changing
fashions in couture are copied and
our gentlewomen continue to look to-
day demure, tomorrow vivacious; an
other day finds them with stately
couture and then again they effect
simplicity. No doubt Cleopatra rung
all the changes within her knowledge
or invention in matters of dress to
aid her in earning the greatest trib-
ute paid to her destinations: Age
cannot wither, nor custom stale, her
infinite variety"
Just now we must concern our
selves with suiting our coiffures to
both large and small hats. The new
imports for midsummer are more than
large, one may almost call them enor-
nous.
The large hats require a couture
designed to fill in the space under
the brim next the face and head,
otherwise they look grotesque and
their beauty is wasted The small
hats require only enough hair visible
about the face to frame it, but it is
necessary to have a couture under

TUB DRESSES FOR 4 DOLLAR
Dainty Frocks in All Sorts of Designs
Are Now Well Within the
Reach of ALL

1t is astonishing how many dainty
frocks for the summer can be made
these days setting the limit of ex-
penditures at 81, including the pat
terms and threads.
Never before have so many delicate
designs been shown in inexpensive
lawns and ginghams, and the bust
ness girl should begin now to raake
the smart little dresses which she will
wear to the office during the coming
summer.
Two things should be remembered.
One is that much trimming of any
sort detracts both from the cool ef-
feet of the gown and makes it bad to
launder; the second is that however
dainty the very light materials are
they are far less serviceable than
plaid or plain buff or blue dress.
AS to the question of expense, De-
gin with the pattern. Choose one OF
the new ones that are capable Of betux
carried out in several different FASH
ions, with or without the high waist
line or with long or short sleeves and
with or without yoke. Thus for Is
cents you will provide yourself with
pattern for several frocks
Next, a few yards of white null and
some inexpensive lace will make
broad collars and cuffs and fichu or
dainty pointed yoke, all of which
will serve as trimming, for your
gowns.
Then as to materials. Ginghams,
plain ones, may be purchased as low
as and 10 cents a yard. A good
quality of lawn in dark colors Is
only cent or two more in price.

REPAT RATED !
He HAD $4,000 IN CASH IN 1908;
NOW WORTH 100000.

My parents were originally Cana
dams from Essex County, Ontario. I
was born in Monroe County, Michigan,
from which place I moved to Red Lake
Falls, Minnesota, where I farmed for
% years. I sold my farm there in the
summer Of 1903 and In September of
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. I had about
$500 in cash, team of horses. a COW. a
few sheep and some chickens. I took
up quarter section Of land near Jack
Fish Lake, Meota P. O.. and later on
purchased for 100000 an adjoining
quarter section. I have now 48 head
of cattle, a number Of horses, good
buildings and consider my holding is
worth at least 100000. My children
have raised from $500 to $500 worth
of garden truck each year since we
have been here. I have never had q
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. My wheat has averaged from
Is to 80 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. My
oats have always yielded well up to so
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed in winter, and do not need it.
I consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any.
where I have ever been. I am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $500 per acre
and pay for it in one crop. My ex-
perience is that If man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.
Most Of the settlers in my district
are Americans and Canadians and I
know lots of them who came here with
little or no capital who are now do
ing well, but do not know Of any who
have left through disappointment, or
becoming discouraged, have returned
