STRENGTH FOR OLD PEOPLE

Old people, to overcome the weak
ening, debilitating effects of increas-
ing old age, often make a very sad
mistake in using so-called remedies"
that contain alcohol and dangerous
or habit-forming drugs. Often this
stuff, because it livens and brightens
them up a little just after taking a
dose, leads them to imagine that it
is doing them good, when it isn't.
Remedies that rely for their sale on
such deceit, do harm, because the
false excitement of the nerves and
heart leaves them worse than they
were before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is real
medicine splendid body and
strength-builder, especially good for
old people, because it furnishes to tn
system ingredients necessary to re-
build wasted tissues strengthen the
nerves, give new energy and a
younger and livelier feeling to the
body. 1t doesn't contain a drop of
alcohol nor any dangerous drug. It
may not make you feel better after
the first dose, nor perhaps for several
Nays. But if you don't feel much
better and stronger before you have
taken a quarter as much as you have
of other medicines that didn't help
you, we will gladly give you back
your money. That's certainly a
square deal.

OBITUARY

Charles Gerald Roos was the eld-
est son of G. Scott and Ora Suites
man Roos and was born February 1,
1896, and peacefully passed away
early Wednesday morning, November
26th, 1918, aged IL years, 8 months
and 25 days.
Again the summoning angel who
calls us home has been in this home
This time calling Charley, whost
short life, whose light makes men,
ory clear, is seen no more. Within
the past year he was preceded to the
great beyond by his little sister, Nor
inc, leaving the home sad and DESC
late if it were not for the hope of
meeting the dear ones in the home
above where sorrow and pain never
enter.
The best of medical skill was pro-
cured to alleviate the deceiving afflic-
tion, Bright's disease, but tender

of no avail in checking it's progress.

has proven so successful that there
is widespread interest in dairying
among the settlers. Unfortunately
many of the settlers are without the
necessary capital to purchase good
dairy stock and for the time being
are forced to continue the uneconomic
method of selling all their forage
crops. A large number of these set
tiers are trying to operate more land
than their means will permit, and
with a view of engaging in dairying
are desirous of subdividing their
farms in order to get money for the
purchase of stock. This has placed
on the market considerable area of
land on several projects where near
ly all of the government land has
been taken up. The prices and terms
offered are more on the basis of the
need for money than on actual value,
and offer excellent opportunities for
experienced dairy men to establish
themselves in communities where the
success of their enterprise is practi-
cally assured. There are NJ 07erous
sections where good land s1i I'd for
dairy farming can be had 1T prices
ranging from $25 to $50 ar acre,
with water ready Tor irrigation. On
all these projects the markets for
dairy products, beef and pork, are
excellent and thero ) every indication
of a continuance for an indefinite
period. 1t has been demonstrated re-
peatedly that dairy farming in the
West is the safest, surest and in the
long run the most profitable form of
agriculture to engage in.

Reclamation Service at Chicago is

cation, prices and terms to all who
are seeking homes in the West, but

CHRISTMAS BAGS AND
FANS ARE HANDSOME
Hy JULIA BoTToMLEY.

The immense variety in ribbons per
mits an unending variety in fancy
bags, and they will play their usual
prominent part at Christmas time. The
rich brocades and heavy weaves in
plain ribbons are used for opera bags
and for the handsome shopping bags
which city women find it convenient
to carry with them when they have
small purchases to make and intend
carrying them home. Ribbons in light
er weight, such as the Dresdens, in
taffeta, which are found in so many
beautiful designs, are chosen for all
those bags that form accessories to
the furnishings of the home. Among
these, those with f1owered patterns on
plain silk ground having wide Dor.
ders of gauze are the newest and most
beautiful of the seasons offerings.
Such a ribbon is shown here in the
pretty corset bag pictured.
A new design in a shopping bag
which may be made long enough to

anese are more likely than any others
to meet the requirements of fine taste.
Here is little group of fans which
illustrate this fact.
A fan with white enamel sticks, fin
ished out with gold, has shaded
ground in clear, beautiful blue, merg
ing with white.
Carved sandal wood makes a fan
for lifetime, which depends for or
namentation upon the way in which
the sticks are cut out in lace pat
tern. They are held together by a
narrow ribbon. The faint and deli.
cious odor of the wood makes this a
fan to treasure.
Nothing but a satin-like paper and
brown wood sticks form the ground
upon which some artist has distin-
guisned himself in the last fan.
Such fans may. be found ranging
in price from about so cents to 81.

Large Crowds Attend the Fife Broth
ers Revival in Spite of Rain-30
Additions.
Sunday was certainly great day
at the tabernacle in spite of the
heavy rain that continued all day.
The people came by hundreds through
the down-pour to hear the Fife Bro
tbers preach and sing the GofDel
and many came forward to take a
stand for Christ. In the morning
Evangelist Fife preached a very un-
usual and touching sermon on sWhat
and Where is Heaven? The audi
ence was carried away by his picture
of a travel among the stars in search
of heaven and there was not dry
eye in the tabernacle when he told
of the breaking of his home ties
which could only be united in that
brighter land where there would be
no parting. Before the evangelist
spoke, Mr.. Earl H. Fife read a beau
tiful poem entitled "Me and Pap and
Mother, after which he sang Sc
lection entitled "There Will Be No
Tears in Paradise.
Mrs. Brooks to Speak Next Sunday
Mrs. Bess Fife Brooks who was to
have delivered her famous address on
"The Most Charming Woman in the
World" Sunday afternoon will speak
next Sunday at 2:30 p. m. on tie
same subject. She contracted sew
ere cold while calling on some peo-
pie last week which resulted in her
almost losing her voice. She is
much better now and will be able to
continue her work in a few days.
Tkis address has caused wide spread
inte,tst wherever she has given it
ard a packed house is expected to
hear it. Everyone is welcome.
The crowd for the evening service
started to come into the tabernacle
soon after supper and by seven
o'clock the house was well filed. Mr..

answer for music roll as well, is pic
tured. 1t is made of brown ribbon
and figured ribbon stitched together
A narrow silver braid is placed over
the stitching. The top of the bag is
edged with the same braid and a lit
tie finish of silver ball trimming is
placed along the bottom. The bag
is not gathered at the top, but is pro-
vided with~four cords by which it is
held. 1t is laid in a few plaits at each
side, held in place by an ornament
made of the silver cord. A substantial
ribbon is required for this novel de
sign.
A collar bag of figured silk suitable
as gift to man is provided with
pasteboard bottom, with sides two
or three inches high. The lid of a
round, oblong box is used for this
foundation. It is covered with the
silk. A strip of silk ten inches wide
forms the bag; one edge is sewed to

ton buried eight people in Christian
Baptism. All the lights in the tab
ernacle were turned off except beau
tiful electric cross which was hung
over the baptistry and shed it's light
on the people as they obeyed their
Lord in this Bible way.
Then Evangelist Fife came to the
platform and asked the people for all
additional $3.50 which added to the
amount already pledged would dedi-
cate the tabernacle free from debt.
This amount was easily provided, al
most all of which was given by the
organized forces to the church. All
the money that has been provided so
far will go to pay the expenses of the
revival. So far the Fife Brothers
have not received a cent for their
work. The Lyceum programme
which was given Thursday night will
go to partly pay the evangelist's as
.sistants and the offering on the last
day will go to Mr.. Fife.

The Perfect House

At this season of the year casual con-
versation has to do with the difficulties
of finding suitable house. Listening to
The experiences Of the house hunter one
is struck with the monumental failure of
man to approach any standard of con-
venient house construction. All houses
are apparently buis wrong. Some are
less wrong than others, but any woman
can pick out any house and show where
forty high crimes and misdemeanors have
been committed Ivy architect and con-
structor, says the Seattle Post-Inteli-
gencer. The location of the built-in
sldeboard in the dining room is inconven-
lent, the drainboard on the wrong side
too high and too shallow; the back bed
room closet should have window in It;
the stairway is at a wrong pitch, and
the heating system is an inconceivable
ccntraption of junk and misdireeted ef-
fort. No one ever expects to rent sat
isfactory house; the question is not for
perfection, but as near to it as woman
can get, and when at last house Is de-
cided upon it is only on the condition
that the living room is retinted and the
floor made to initiate oak. Now houses
are, or should be, substantially alike.
Man has been building houses for con-
Siderable. length of time long enough
to have learned what is convenient II
the matter of room arrangement, and
what is not. 1t would seem that out of
all his experiences with houses and wo-
men, he must have learned the funda-
mentals wherein feminine satisfaction
abides. He can construct mammoth Of
flee buildings, leaving nothing to be dc
sired, but strangely enough, a five-rooin
bungalow seems rroyocable of misapplicd
originality in the location of the furnace
and the installation of the laundry trays.
The result is that. rental agents grow
old and pessimistic before their tune;
wives become convinced of a masculine
conspiracy to worry them, and husba nds
long for a tepees or some other primitive
domicllary arrangement, where there Is
no room for argument. A great fan e
Is awaiting the man who designs an ideal
house that will be easy to heat, easy to
keep clean, handy in the kitchen, spa
cious to closets and invariably in a
pice neighborhood.

an original capital of half a million
dollars. which will soon be increased by
$2.0000 900 of stock dividends. That looks
so much like high finance that the public
is justified III asking for further look
into the books, says the Nebraska State
Journal.
The view makes it clear that it has
not always been plain sailing for even
the most successful of the big fire conf
panies. The one in question was virtual
ly ruined by the Chicago fire of 1871,
and again by the Boston fire in 1872. The
losses were made good by an assessment
of 90 per cent in the first year and 80
per cent in the second So the stock
dividends are not all water Moreover. 1t
is shown that none of the dividends paid
to stockholders have been derived from
underwriting profits. They have been
earned by the investments of the COM
pany Such, a concern virtually consists
of two parts, one devoted to investments
and the other to insurance. They work
together because the investment concern
furnishes financial stability to carry the
insurance department through almost any
sort of crisis. That this sort of support
to the indemnity offered by an insurance
company IS necessary is shown by the
fact that in Massachusetts alone. fifty
six stock fire insurance companies have
failed or retired from business in the
last fifty years. Only a few of the old
ones remain These are companies that
have succeeded by good management and
