REASONS FOR NOT WORRYING
Bring Summer Philosophy to Aid
When the Hot Weather Disturbs
Ones Equipoise.

We are getting only what comes to
us at this season, and the less we
think about the heat the cooler it will
seem.
Summer philosophy includes these
suggestions among others: Provide
your physical system with plenty of
moisture of the lemonade and local
option variety.
Provide your mind with wholesome.
kind and charitable thoughts and keep
it cool by remembering how much
warmer it is in some other places
Hades, for instance.
Eat little and "cuss" less The less
meat and other heavy stuff you eat
the better you will feel, and the more
money you can save for your vacation
trip. And the less you "cuss" the low
er the thermometer will register.
Look upon the boiling process in
the light of Turkish bath, or a medi-
cal prescription. A lot of bad things
are being stewed out of you, and you

NOVEL DESIGN FOR cLoAKs

the Most Effective In Many
Seasons.

of beautiful cloaks. But they must

the charming device fashion now ex-

fur is resource.
In form the fur rather resembles
cobra embracing its victim, but the
beauty of the peltry and cloudy mQns-
seline in juxtaposition is undeniabfe.
Lovely schemes Of coloring can be
evolved, such as dried rose and pis-
tachio green, with the green upper
most. The fur should be. white fox,
skunk or ermine, and If fox is used
two or three skins will be mounted
and placed in effective positions. =
A cloak seen recently-a black
mousseline one picked out with col
ored jet very beautifully patterned
had one white fox flung over the.
shoulder and across the back, with tha
mask on the shoulder and the brush
on one hip, while cozily arranged
round the throat was a second skin.

THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE H0MESTEADS
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the U. s. government reveals the fact
that there is a great desire on the
part of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and on
ly few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced in price to such
an extent that it becomes serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
of 100 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process of filing, paying
a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
it for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
a long, tedious and expensive journey,
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want. Al
though this homesteading has been
going on in Canada for a number of
years, and hundreds of thousands of
them have been taken by hundreds of
thousands of Americans, there re-
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
left are of the best. They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge in the growing of grain, wheth-
er it be wheat, oats, barley or fax,
but in addition these lands are admir-
ably adapted for mixed farming, a
class of farming that is certain to give
better returns than that of all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach, and water is
/. easy to get. These lands are located
in the park districts of any Of the
three provinces; groves of trees in
lSISpcISS lAS ldnOSCdpt anu give IL d
beauty that can only be attained in
the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to a great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lands which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their To-
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1913 was one of the
best of the number of good crops that
that country has raised Wheat has
been reported with yields of from 80
to As bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise-

MISTAKE OF THE SALESMAN
Appurtenance That Should Have Ac-
companied Sale of "Dalmatian"
Had Been Lost Sight OF.

A man went into shop in Harris
burg and told the proprietor that he
wanted to buy Dalmatian dog to take
abroad with him.
Certainly, sir" said the assistant.
I've got the very thing"
In quarter of an hour he brought
out the ANIMAL the customer paid the
money and departed. Before his train
time, however, heavy shower fell.
The man returned with the dog in a
state of great indignation.
Look at him!" he cried. You told
me he was Dalmatian. Give me my
money back. All his spots are washed
off in the rain"
The proprietor apologized.
TITS all that stupid FOOLS mistake"
He called to his assistant.
James, did you sell this dog to this
gentleman"
Yes, sir"
"Well, you ought to be ashamed of
yourself. Don't you know an umbrel-
la goeg with this dog?"

NEED NOT BE MUCH EXPENSE
Afternoon Tea Does Not Depend for
Success on the Richness of the Re-
/. freshments Served.

It does not cost much to have a
dozen or more friends in for q cup
Of tea. A well-appointed tea table
with one girl to pour while the host
ess makes herself agreeable to her
guests can be made very pleasant
Be sure the tea is good, the sand
wiches novel and delicious, and the
cake homemade. That is all that
need be served. though extra touches,
like homemade candy of unusual kind,
crisp buttered toast, or salted pea
nuts are inexpensive additions. II
the food is good it will apepal to pal
ates.
Two quarts of ice cream will serve
q dozen guests If put in small glasses.
This will not be more than one dol
lar. A delicious homemade cake will
cost for material so cents or less. For
candy one could make sea foam for
the cost of two pounds of brown sugar,
and four quarts Of salted peanuts
would be 25 cents more.
Make your money go as far as you
can. Get things that have a distinct
use, and your guests will be pleased.

ADOPT coL0RlNG OF BANANA
For Paris Mid-season That Tint Has
Been Generally Pronounced
the Favorite.

Banana is the chic color Of the
Paris mid-season, not the tint of the
skin, but of the fruit inside, not very
different from the also fashionable
champagne tint. A costume of ratine
in the tone of the wine fastens up the
left side with large buttons in an
open design showing an enameled
flower in blue and green inclosed In
gilt circle. Here, again, skunk
borders the hem and also trims the
mantle-cloak, much draped at the back
but with only short ends in front
In addition, a wide neck boa of the
fur is worn. The smart woman Of
the moment is OVERRIDING her furs,
but perhaps this is good for trade.

rials is a golden brown, but tone
deeper than tam Almond green is in
