the stage Of the down and
outer" You might, however, see
shoes of the same condition on a
girl who was all dainty, fluffy, ruff
f1es that bespoke a well-6lled
pocketbook.
Some women seem to think
that shoes with buttons off and,
heels run down do not mean any
thing if the hat is on straight.
Many girls will buy a beauti-
full collar or jabot when they need
walking boots badly and they
will go on wearing shoes that are
so run over at the side that their
ankles are strained and the arches
of their feet are broken down.

Common Prayer.

ConKnon Prayer.
A sermon was being preached
on purity of heart, and the words
came fast and eloquently:
ooh, Lord, give us pure hearts,
give us clean hearts, give us sweet
hearts -and every man in the
congregation responded Amen"

Apple Sauce With the Peel.
The best part of the apple lies
next to the skin. Here's a recipe
for apple sauce in which it is not
necessary to peel the apple. The
sauce, if made properly and sealed
we'll, will keep through the win
ter:
Wash two dozen firm, juicy ap-
pies and cut them into pieces. Put
them into a porcelain-lined sauce
pan with a cup of hot water and
bring to a boil. Cook steadily,
stirring frequently, until the fruit
is soft and broken into bits.
After removing from the fire,
run it through colander to free
the sauce from all bits of skin.
Sweeten to taste and stir over the
fire until the sugar is melted, but
do not allow the mixture to boil.
Add a teaspoon of lemon juice
and set aside until cold.

Life worth liyingf You can bet.
Splits of all its woe and fret,
There's the fun of being young
With the world before you flung;
There's the fun of being old
Having watched the play unfold;
There's the fun of dreaming, too,
And of making dreams come true;
There's the fun of sun and rain
And of respite after pain;
There is friendship, there is love
Sweetest thing I'm singing of,
Laughter, music, light and mirth,
And the loneliness of earth;
There's the fun of work and fight,
Setting evil things Alright,
Spite of sorrow and distress J
Spite of toll and WEAKNESS
Life worth living? Well, l guess.

Saws Chipping.

When washing valuable china
or cut glass it is a good plan to
place a heavy Turkish towel at
the bottom of the basin. This
prevents all danger of the china

improveme nts of the property. 1t was
intimated in the application that a
further request will be made at once

pose.
This step is taken in order that the
improvements may be begun at oTlce.
If nothing were done until the proper
ty were taken over by Newman Erb

that no work could be done before
next spring. AS it Is. additional snow

C.P.R. WANTS OIL AS FUEL.
Vice President White Says 1t Is a
Comfort to Passengers.

Fuel oil for railways as a substitute
for coal has been recommended by Will
liam White, second vice president of the
Canadian Pacific railway, in report to
the road. The principal advantage as
signed to the change is that oil lessons
the danger of forest fires.
Mr.. White also says that it adds to
the comfort of passengers and is a
g1e eat saving in labor. He believes that
large locomotives now in use.
ut is not the failure of the locomo-
tives,'' he says, but the failure of the
fireman. A fireman Shoveling coal on
one of these locomotives for a distance
of 100 miles is physically exhausted be-
fore getting to the end of the run"
The use of oil is urged, especially for
mountain runs. On these divisions the
efficiency of the engine is still more i'm
paired by the use of coal. Until coal
can be replaced by oil the weight Of
trains on mountain divisions is limited
by the endurance of the fireman, Mr..
White says.
