ADJOINING THE GUEST ROOM
Particularly Effective Touches May
Be Given to Draperles, Especially
If They Are of Cretonns.

If you have cretonne draperies in
your guest room there are many at
tractive articles you can make to
add comfort and beauty to the room.
Purchase cretonne to match, or, IL
this is impossible, design showing
the same coloring.
Lovely bureau scarfs are fashioned
by cutting the cretonne the exact
dimensions of the bureau top. Cover
this with white marquisette and be-
tween the top and the china silk lining
place one thickness Of cotton wadding.
Whipstitch the edges together and
finish them with narrow edging Of
gold lace.
The marquisette softens the colors
Of the cretonne, producing a pastel
effect.
A rectangular sofa cushion can be
made Of the same materials, and Is
particularly beautiful, when ornament
ed with a large fat bow of ribbon in
one corner.
In rose designs the cretonne is ex-
tremely artistic when yelled with mar
quisette.
For the dressing table a long pin
cushion should be made to match.
Finish either end with rosette OF
satin ribbon.
Frames for sewing stands can be
purchased to match any wood, and 1t
would be nice to supply your guest
room with one with cretonne top to
match the draperies.
Cover the cretonne with the mar.
quisette and liLe it with china silk
Gather this with a heading to the
frame and finish each corner with q
bow of ribbon. The top hangs pocket
like from the frame and holds all the
articles necessary for mending. This
is very useful article, and the we'll
appointed guest room should be sup
piled with sewing stand.

SPEED THE RAILROADS. CURSE
Writer Claims That Sole Aim of tho
EmpIoye Seems to Be to Make
Up Lost Time.

Excessive speed has always been the
underlying carse of the railroad bust
ness, writes Albert w. Atwood in the
American Magazine. Employees do not
consider it professional to be careful
Their one aim is to make up time. The
whole theory of railroad operation is
based on getting more speed than the
conditions warrant. The moment an
engineman reports for duty he is hur-
ried. With watch and time card in
hand he waits impatiently to get
started He is officially instructed to
be careful and not go at excessive
speeds, but, owing to the innumerable
delays and small happenings, 1t Is
practically impossible for him to
make his schedules without speeding
Then, too, to use the words of a re-
cent report Of the interstate com.
merce commission, the remarkable in.
crease in the speed and weight of
trains in recent years, and the crowd
ing Of tracks and terminals caused
by movement of the enormously en-.
larged volume of railroad traffic,
have greatly increased the duties Of
employees and multiplied the chances
of error on their part. OF course, if
an employee meets with an accident.
he is damned and the company points
to it's rules, but II he always runs
carefully and keeps down speed, and
ia repularIy hahind Schedule then tha
company finds fault with him.

DISFlGURED WITH ECZEMA

Cranberry Isles, Me.-"My baby's
body was completely covered with &C.
zema He was about six weeks old
when 1t started. 1t came on his fore
head first, then spread all over his
scalp so that every bit of his hair
came out. The eczema came in big
blotches on his face and neck, which
after few days all ran into solid
mass. He used to rub them and some
times he would make the blood come.
1t was in the scaly form on his body,
but his head and face seemed to be
crusty mass.
Il tried an ointment for him but 1t
did not do him any good. I tried this
one week and by that time baby was
one mass of eczema from head to foot.
He used to be quite restless nights, and
while he had the eczema he did not grow
bit. He was terribly disf1gured. I sent
and got some Cuticura Ointment and
Soap and he was cured in two months
He is nine months old now and Is free

dogs and the success of the experi-
ment that reports have been officially
asked for by the various European mil
ltary authorities concerning the spe-
cial training of the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found invaluable
In Paris and they have been assigned
to important duties. All along the
banks of the Seine dogs watch for &C
c1oents. If careless passenger or an
unwary boatman falls off one OF the
many boats and barges plying con-
stantly up and down the Seine one of
the big, beautiful Newfoundland river
guards bounds into the water to the
rescue, barking to give the alarm and
OFTEN swimming with the limp body to
the shore. Even the bridges are close
ly watched by the dogs, for from the
Seine bridges many despairing men
and women leap into the river, hoping
thus to end their misery.
1t is now believed that countless
railway wrecks due to deliberate de-
sign could be prevented if railroad sec
tons were policed by dogs. Their eff
ficacy in this duty has been unques-
tionably proved in the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort prison
ers to and from Jail in Paris. They
will courageously attack their enemy
even when fired upon, as a notorious
bandit found to his cost during a re-
cent struggle to escape while being
conveyed to trial This is a result
obtained by careful training.
How to defend his master is another
important lesson taught the police dog.
The dog must snarl and bite as soon
as an attempt to hold up his master is
made. In this the police dog is de-
veloping marvellous qualities.
Guarding property is another of the
police dogs duties, and in this also
he has proved himself an adept Ar
ticles left in his care are safe and
faithfully watched
His moral training forms as much of
a police dogs education as his pro-
fessional lessons. He is taught to be
honest and faithful and not to accept
bride The latter is important be-
cause poisoned meat is often offered
to these dogs. The police dog soon
learns to eat nothing but what his
master serves him and is an example
TO many men in his resistance to temp
tation.

duration of the light is one-tenth of a

nine-tenths. The distant" flashing

"THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR sULzER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties OF friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada we're dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden. of Can.
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner of the University Club OF
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language. the litei.
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect Of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. II
matters not SO much as to the form
of the outward celebration, but let US
hope that its full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
lions, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that In
goodwill and respect may truly ami.
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the St.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
"Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary Of
North America"
Many of our best citizens, I regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of it's soil, the lib
erality Of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
1--WE should extend to them a help
ing hand in their onward march Of
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod.
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods,
wares and merchandise should, in SO
far as possible, be eliminated" -Ad-

with their rich embroideries in Picking
stitch, make exquisite long sailor col

of two-toned Chinese blue embroidery
landings make trimming galore for a
stunning gown and hat. A striking

is made from the skirts pleated and
