CURED OF DANDRUFF

1913 West 59th ST., New York CITY.
For more than ten years I have
been troubled with a very obstinate
case of dandruff and an itching scalp.
In my determined effort to rid myself
OF these troubles, I stopped at no ex-
pense and spent, l am sure, close on
TO three hundred dollars, with no last
ing results. Every advertised patent
remedy for dandruff, 1 believe I have
tried out. On a visit to my BARRIERS
n day last spring I saw him sham
poo a customer with a prepared LIQUID
shampoo, but later shampooed his W
halr, using only a cake of Cuticura
soap. took a tip from this.
i began the use of Cuticura Soap as
a shampoo, using it twice a week and
also began the use of Cuticura ONT
ment to see what effect it would have
on thickening my hair which had bad
ly fallen out. After the second weeks
use l noticed that the itching had
stopped and the daudruff combed from
my hair was very scarce. Being so
surprised I continued the treatment
and my head, which was almost a
shining dome. is now covered with a
suit of thick shining hair, a marvel
wrought by the wonderful C%uticura
Soap and Ointment. The dandrufr
also is entirely gone. Thanks and
thanks again for Cuticura." (Signed)

WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines in the Republic
of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.

The finest emeralds are found in
the Republic of Colombia, al the r.
nous Muzo mines in the department
Of Boyaca, seventy miles north By
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The S~paniards
mined there in the middle Of the six
teenth century, but withdrew after
a time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality OF the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner.
ship with the government. The emer-
aids at MuZo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to ba
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located
the side of the hill is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool is a steel bar forged to a
point at one end. The pieces of cal
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed,
where a detailed examination is made
and the emeralds are divided into If
teen grades, according I color, trans
parency, size, freedom from flaws, and

In the course of the game Colonel
Roosevelt talked much of war" said
Mr.. Thomas. And l remember him

him If it were true that the bravest

To the Hostess.

Stunt parties" as college students
term them, are not by any means re-
stricted to dormitory and campus. In
this age when the ability to amuse
guests at a house party or at an in
formal evening gathering is thorough
ly appreciated by the hostess, every
girl should be able to do her part.
There are always the popular girls
who can dash off the latest musical
hits on the piano. or who can sing
them. Fancy dancing in the last few
seasons has met with enthusiastic ia
vor at parties where no special amuse-
ment has been provided by the hos
tess. Those who are not gifted mu-
sically must find some other means by
which to entertain. The good old
fashioned art of listening is moi diff
cult to cultivate, but it doesn't seem
quite SO much in demand as it used
to be.

Normal Waist Lines,

There is one thing noticeable about
the new blouses, and that is that at
least nine-tenths of them are made to
fit the normal waist. 1t seems to be
quickly coming back into fashion.
Many smart afternoon blouses are
embroidered in crystal beads or in
fine bugles and pearls. The embroi-
derry covers the front and finishes off
in a single line the uncollared neck.
The sleeves are trimmed to match. In
black ninon this blouse can be worn
over any color, and here bright emer-
aid green in useful, and in fact
any color can be worn under it..

NECkWEAR FROM PARIS
COMBINATIONS OF LACE, FUR,
SILK AND VELVET.
Pretty Shadow Lace Frill With Top
Edge of Skunk-More Elaborate
Model Has a Handsome
Vest Effect.

The daintiest factor of dress hown
great establishments in Paris is
neckwear. Exquisite combinations of
lace, silk, fur, velvet and linen are dis
played to every interested woman who
is clever enough to realize how much
neckwear can contribute to the chic
of a costume. Here are the most
favored styles just now. They are
handsome, of course, but they are sim
pie in construction, and therefore
copyable by an American who would
be the owner Of an important acces-
sorry.
The touch of fur is emphasized in
neckwear with a charm that no one
can deny. In the model shown, skunk
fur forms the top edge of a pleated
s~hadow-lace frill crossed in front,
with the greatest width over the
shoulders and cut in a shallow point
at the back. Any kind of lace and
any strip of fur will be effective in
this style. Very little material is re-
CURED, and the result is very salts
factory.
A vest effect is given to a more
elaborate piece of neckwear. The vest
with a narrow tu~rned-down collar is
of white mousseline de sole. Small
jet buttons fasten this in a straight
line. Over this is a disappointed col
lar of black panne velvet, from the
ends of which drop pleated frills of
white-and-black mousseline de sole.
This is a modification of the Robes
pierre collar, and it has undoubtedly
gained by the addition of the vest.
Cream lace and white tulle, or
blond, are combined in a model with
a straight tucked stock and cream
lace turned over the edge. From
the front hangs a pointed bit OF
tucked tulle, with side pieces of heavy
lace. The strip in the enter is OF
horizontal tucks.
White corded silk and dark blue
mousseline de sole are used with eff
fective charm on the collar with the
double points. The stock has two
deep points of silk at the sides, held

THE BAROMETER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
speaking of the Christmas work in
the postoffice:
other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of OPP
portunity of learning what it was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed lin
Winnipeg), and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the nor
nous influx of people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
GELS which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from a
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postofflces have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds of new postofices were
established, many Of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. 1t is said Of
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether it be in the new town along
a new line of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
car are not confined to the postof-
flee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is it any wonder that
with the splendid land, the high
yielding land, TIE land that is free to
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1912
will show arrivals Of upwards Of
400, 900, one-half of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and its agencies
throughout the United States deals
with many of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work Of
that branch for the year 1913.-Ad-
