will have chance to continue fling
until September 20.
The vastness Of the area opened to
white settlement is expected to make
this one Of the most alluring land
openings ever presented to the peo-
pie inasmucb as their opportunity Of
getting something in the drawing wills
be much better than in any previous
land opening. For instance when
the Occur D'Alene. Flathead and
Spokane land drawings were held last
year a total area OF which was
about one-fourth of the area to be
opened upon the Fl. Peck reserva-
ton. Government officials do not
think that more than $4,000 people
will file for the Fl. Peck land.
Hence the chances of drawing a
quarter section in the Fl. Peck reser-
walton "lottery" are about four times
as good as they have been in prev
ious government land drawings. The
actual value of this land is said by
government agricultural experts to
average about $50 an acre. How
ever, the governments appraisal for
its opening to white settlement is
only from $3.50 to 81 per acre, thus
making real prizes tor those who
draw this land.
The drawing will take place in
this way. The names of all who file
for land will be placed in a big box
and the envelopes drawn out one by
one and numbered until enough en-
velopes are taken from the box to
correspond with the number OF quar-
ter sections available-8,406. Those
getting the early numbers will OF
course get first pick OF the land !,
in rotation, according to the NAM
bers drawn. The actual settlement
OF the land will begin May I, 1914.
Settlement is the same as under
the homestead law, except that the
appraised valuation must be paid
from S2.so to $500 per acre, at
these terms; One-ffth OF the total
down at time of entry and the rest in
five annual payments. The settler.
however, has the option OF taking adj
vantage of the new three-year home :
stead law by paying for his land at
the end of three years and thus prov
ing up on it. This gives the man of
small means chance for his .swhite

Washington, ID. c., Aug. - Nearly
1900 160-acre farm homes will be
drawn by the "lucky ones" as the
result of the throwing open OF 1,345,
600 acres of land upon the TT. Peck
Indian reservation in northeastern
Montana next month. This is the
last great land drawing Uncle Sam
has to offer his people and one OF the
greatest in the history of government,
land openings in point of fertility.
Government agricultural experts estl-
mate that when this vast stretch Of
virgin soil is titled it will add about
25, 900, 900 pushels OF grain annually
to the production OF the United
States--enough to feed an entire
nation.

HUSBAND
BY MRS. McCUNE.

nON'T expect to find perfect man.
- You will wait long, If you do,
before you find him, and when
you think you have him also. I fear
that you will, upon intimate acQuaint-
ance, discover come flaw.
Most men havo their failings. But
we should distinguish between these
foibles and inf1rmities and moral de-
linquencies.
No greater mistake can be made
than for woman to marry man for
the purpose of reforming him. This
experience has been tried too maLy
times and disastrously failed to give
much hope. The girl who marries
man who drinks runs an awful risk
of unhappiness and misery. The fate
of tens of thousands ought to warn
her not to intrust her welfare to such
a man.
There is only one foundation for
true marriage and that is love. Marry
simply and solely for love.
This alone is worthy of human be-
ings. This alone can hallow the mar
ried life, give grace for it's trials,
strength for it's burdens, patience for
its discords and sanctify it's relations.
But before you give your love, be
sure that it's object is lovabIe Love
should be subject to reason, and un-
less the object of your affection can
also command your respect, and sat-
isfy your judgment, you would better
tear the fruit from your heart. 9th
erwise it will bear only disappoint-
ment and sorrow.
Demand, then, in your would-be
husband that he be a manly man.
Manhood is always at premium. It
was never more so than today, and
nowhere is it more desirable than in
married life.
Some will tel you that money is
an indispensable condition; that it
must enter into the eligibility of a
husband 1t is not to be despised But
money is as often a curse as it is a
blessing.
The greatest, purest happiness is
not confined to the circles of the rich.
Every once in a while the curtain
is drawn aside and the public gets a
glimpse of the life of the wealthy.
Not infrequently there is revealed an
amount of infelicity which is painful
to contemplate
Money, which they possess in plen-
ty, has been only source of unhap-
pinesS to these people.

SMOOTHING
WRINKLES
Now Done By
EIeCtriCity.
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

M ANY women are taken by sur
Vu prise by 4 sudden, or rather
premature appearance of aging
upon their faces and worry themselves
nearly sick over it, never for one min
ute considering that it is to be at
tributed to nothing else but the food
consumed
If 20 eat food that does not agree
with your system, your digestive or
gans will never do their work proper
ly and the consequence will be in all
probability be lines and an aging of
the face, long before you are old
enough for this manifestation. The
first step I would suggest is to take
complete change in diet.
Much to the DISGUST of the Ameri-
can woman, it is a fact that her com
plexion is not her strong suit: quite
the contrary, she ranges way after the
English, German and Scandinavian
women, as far as thi1 is concerned.
True, the American eats only three
meals a day, but three square Ones"
beginning with breakfast, which in
every other country would make a
good-sized dinner. What other ma
tons would ever dream of such a
thing? Meat for breakfast, and the
worst about these hearty breakfasts
is that one does not take the time to
digest them properly, nor is the food
properly chewed and the result is
acute indigestion and cloudy,
blotchy skin
The Southern woman with the beau
tiful, clear, spotless complexion,
would snap her fingers at a breakfast
consisting of all sorts of meat, eggs,
coffee and other Northern essentials
all she wants is some nice fresh
fruit-an orange, or 4 peach or two
a bit of fresh bread with butter and
a cup of milk or chocolate. And this,
possibly with the addition of some
simple, nourishing breakfast cereal,
would be plenty for any woman, and
will be certain not to have any dis
advantageous effect upon the skin OF
anyone.
The beauty experts have now de-
vised a method of getting rid of wrin-
kles by means of the electric iron.
Here is the plan:

CONQUER YOUR PET HABI7
BY ANNETTE ANGERT.

G MALL habits and mannerisms be-
- token good or bad breeding.
1t is hard to cure ones self OF
everyday mannerisms, but it can be
done if you keep at it perseveringly.
Take for instance. the habit of
yawning in public without making any
attempt to conceal your widely opened
mouth. No man or woman no had
any claim to good breeding would
think of doing such a thing. Not only
Is 1t extremely unbecoming to stretch
your mouth from ear to ear, but it is
not pleasant sight for other people.
Or course, you can't keep from
yaWning, but you can place your hand
over your mouth when you do yawn
Another rude and exceedingly ag-
gravating habit is that of interrupting
conversation, taking the words out of
peoples mouths and carrying on the
story yourself. Wait until the other
person is finished, and then have your
say.
l. know a woman who always
breathes right into your face when she
talks to you. If you move back she
moves a step closer. 1t gets on your
nerves until you almost give her a
good, vigorous push.
A very Objectionable habit in wom-
en- is that of crossing their knees 1t
id unladyiike.
To walk out of a restaurant with
a toothpick in your mouth or use a
toothpick at all is the very acme of
ill-breeding.
Don't talk at~the top of your voice
about your own private concerns
when in public; the public is not in
terested and prefers to read its news
paper in peace.
There is another very annoying hab-
it that is common to a great many
people. 1t is the habit of asking ques-
tons and not listening to the answers,
which necessitates asking the same
question three or four times.
1t is a habit that makes a man
push past a woman getting on or of
a car. He does not save ten seconds
by his rudeness, but he is so in the
habit of pushing his way along that
he does it mechanically.
A very good-looking woman of my
acquaintance has habit of pinching
her nose. 1t is very nice nose, but
she makes it fiery red about half the
time by her pinching. She does not
realize ho- often she does it, and
eventually it will spoil her looks
It's no use saying that you can't
cure a habit like any of the small ones
mentioned You can If you exercise
your will power. 1t won't take long;
just keep it continually on your mind,

~ HE modish evening gown at pres
ent is highly colorful and pic
turesque. 1t is draped in the
lost attractive manner and fashioned
of the loveliest fabrics the loom can
weave.
Brocades in the most wonderful de-
signs, frequently outlined with threads
of gold or silver, are used extensively
to fashion evening gowns.
White silk brocaded in silver was
fashioned into a gown with soft skirt
draperies. The corsage, beautifully
ornamented with embroidery of crys-
tai and silver beads, had bands of
tulle outlining the decollatage and
sleeves which were formed of chiffon
puffs.
At the opera this season the lovely
poppy pink and red, citron yellow,
madonna blue, eggplant purple and
malachite green are much in evidence
though many fashionable women cling
to the white embroidered with gold
or silver, or black deliberately beaded
with crystal anC pearl beads.
A gown which attracted attention
was fashioned of poppy-pink satin
brocaded in gold. From either side
of a box pleat, which extended the
entire length of the front, a semi-pan-
nier drapery fell below the knees.
The low bodice of brocade was veil
ed with a deep collar of filmy gold
lace, and the undersleeves were of
fesh-colored chiffon.
Another striking gown noticed the
same evening was of silver brocade
with a tunic drapery of black net en-
broidered with silver and rhinestones.
The lace partly wells the bodice and
forms the short sleeves, which are
left open to show the arm to the
shoulder, but are caught at the bot
tom with a silver ornament
Outlining the decolletage is a trellis
arrangement of rhinestones The one
bit of color introduced is a fame-col-
ored belt decorated with a rhinestone
ornament in front. In the back the
velvet forms long sash end, with one
outstanding loop on the bodice.
Many smart evening gowns are
trimmed with narrow bands of fur

massage with some good skin food,
over which a damp cloth is spread,
and then, with a warm-not hot
electric iron proceed to iron out the
wrinkles. This is a new form of
steaming the face, and very much
improved one, as it will prove good
deal more effective than ordinary
steaming.
If the wrinkles are very deep set,
the face must undergo a complete
laundering process. 1t must first be
washed with hot water and soap, then
lather the face with thick soap jelly,
after which rub it with the finger tips
into the skin. After one is through
with this, the tough outer skin has
been removed and the coloring is ex-
quisitely delicate.
Next comes the pressing. The cleo
trio iron, which must be kept at a
steady even temperature, will, it is
claimed, work absolute wonders on
the skin, pressing out all the wrin-
kles and burrows as though by magic.
The woman who grows fat may tenn
porarily lose her wrinkles, but as
soon as she engages in trying to re-
duce her weight the wrinkles will
show, and show plainly, merely for
the reason that she did not know how
to treat her face while reducing flesh

like this, daily bathing the flesh with
benzoinated facial wash, acting as an
astringent, tightening the cuticle and
preventing the gathering of the wrin-
kles. bag of pine needles thrown
into the bath will also prevent the
wrinkling of the skin.
With all these remedies and pre-
venting and curing methods the face
ought to grow prettier from day to
day, or, at least, should stay pretty
for an indefinite time, and there no
longer is an excuse for bad complex
ion and wrinkles, as they can be SO
easily removed
A woman certainly not only has the
right to make herself as attractive as
she possibly can, but she ought to con-
slider it a duty, LONELINESS no longer
being an affection against which one
cannot fight, but, unless there are
grave organic reasons, sheer neglect.

NEW MOVE IN CANADA

E m n t n, Alberta, April H.
What may be forerunner of a new
move in Western Canada is sensed
by politicians in the pledge incorpor-
ated in circular letters, distributed by
the Rev. w. G. w. Fortune, secre-
tary of the Alberta Temperance and
Moral Reform Association, acting un-
der the direction of the Committee of
One Hundred.
The plan is to work only for the
election of men who are unalterably
opposed to the liquor traffic. The
pledge follows:
I solemnly pledge myself, in the
presence of my fellow men, that so
long as the liquor traffic exists in the
Province of Alberta, I will renounce
my party ties and affiliations, of what
ever kind they may have been, if nee
essary, and will stand firmly by vote
and influence with the Committee of
One Hundred, for the election of
competent men to the legislature.
Mr.. Fortune reports that many are
signing the pledges.
