$33,OOO,OOO TO BE
SPENT IN EDMONTON

Edmonton, Alta, April 25.-(Speci
aD-Active work has begun in Ed
monton this morning upon a construc-
ton program, involving the expendi-
ture of more than $33,OOO,O 900 as fol-
lows: Public and private buildings
s2O,0O0,00; municipal work. sS.O0O,-
900; railroad improvements and bet
terments, s5,250,000 The first work
undertaken for the city consists of
100000 square yards of paving and
several miles of sidewalks and sew
ers In addition, 100000 will be ex-
pended by private interests in build
ing ten miles of street railway extern
sions to be turned over to the city.
Edmonton is fully financed for
1913, Mayor William Short having
been successful in placing the entire
ounting to $1O,S40.OOO with the firm
Of Kleinwort, Sons and company, Lin
don. The rebentures were underwrit-
ten at 50 net to the city. The loan
IS larger than any heretofore placed
by a Canadian city. Three million
dollars of this amount is chargeable
against the city debt, which is not
within $16,O0O,00O OF the municipal
ity's borrowing limit. It will not be
necessary to issue any more deben-
lures this year.
The building season has opened with
rush, permits for store and office
buildings and dwelling houses, costing
$1,100,00O being issued the first ten
days Of this month. Contractors re-
port the building operations this year
will involve the expenditure of be-
tween S20.OOO,O0O and $22,0OO,OOO, as
compared with S14,5OO,0OO expended
last year. The three transcontinental
railroads are also preparing to begin

Rules to Note i'm Draperies.

Long lines are emphasized in the
most successful draperies, giving
height and dignity to wearers.
In skirts the fullness is kept either
decidedly up around the hips, with a
narrow lower lines. or down around
the feet.
Slashed skirts have their fullness
draped up and caught under clus-
ters of flowers, or held in under straps
of material or braids.
Skirts with tunics or overskirts fire.
quently have them plated along the
central front line, held flat under
stitched bands. This gives a decid-
edly Oriental effect says the New
York Press.
Draped skirts that show an up
curved line at the bottom of the dress
have inset panels of accordion plait-
ed chiffon.
Net and lace on bodices are draped
into the scarf sleeve" into butterfly
bows and in graceful, loose lines that
are attached to train around the arm
by means of loops or hung in loops
across the gown as a tulle scarf might
be held.
Lines of chiffon and silk roses are
garlanded or draped over sleeves and
corsage of bodices.
Tulle figures largely in the over
drapery on evening gowns.
The main rule in drapery is to drape
on the figure with an unlimited am
cunt of goods and an eye to 'la ligne"
that most important feature in the
spring gown.

Although most of the smart Golf

shove back hair on high, the low

If there is lack of brilliancy in

New York, April 25.-If YOU are

Should the hero in the 1918 best sell

In other words, to dress your hair
up to date. you must dress it down
TO your eyebrows, Just how you do
1t doesn't matter in the least If you
still cling to the pompadour you are
quite welcome provided it is a soft
flat one puffed out at the sides to
give a broad effect. The fluffy
fringe is becoming to the average
countenance and decidedly youthify-

mode is the loosely onduled part pi-

and give an earleSs effect without be-

have something under cover these
days if its only a forehead and
couple of ears.
Passing to the rear. you will see
that from that position. the latest
coiffure, like the cost of living. has
decidedly upward trend. Your
tresses are gathered into a loose puff
on the apex of your head. wound with
two smooth strands and fastened with
large shell pins. Worn high in a
bun with a middle part and short
bobby curls in front of the ears in
the style of 1880 is a quaint depart

period hairdressings are being reviv-
ed to go with the present craze for
the period costuming. The Psyche,
as usual knotty but nice, nowadays
has changed its vantage point from
the nape of the neck to the crown.

But common as constipation is many
people do not seem to know they

You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. If you

the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation
and forestall still graver trouble take

morning relief will come, without
disturbance from sleep or any incon-

Legions of people use it regularly
