STRAPS.

Straps are used to restrain the full
ness in many of the new winter coats
and skirts. Sometimes there are two
straps across the back Of coat where
the full skirt flares from the waist
section. Sometimes there are straps
across the front of the skirt to hold
in the fullness below the waist, and
sometimes they are used for the same
purpose on the hips. They are
stitched usually, and give a very
smart finish

FURs AND FUR SUBSTITUTES
Graceful, Becoming Models in Both
Winter Has Made Change
In the Styles.

Winter sees a decided change in
the STYLE of the newest wraps and
stoles made in furs or fur substitutes.
Last year the majority of the stoles
were quite straight in shape. the
widths varying from eight or nine
inches to considerable proportions,
but now the old-fashioned pelerine or
small cane promises to be most popu-
lar.
Carried out in soft musquash. seal,
coney, ermine or other fur many OF
these models are very graceful and
becoming.
Some beautiful examples of shaped
shoulder scarfs seen lately were made
of broadtail or black ponyskin, as
supple and silky as satin, trimmed
with effective touches of taHeta or
velvet. in some cases with another fur
introduced around the neck or deco
rating the ends.
For those. however, who find these
real furs too costly the new makes
of ponyskin and broadtail cloth an
swer most admirably. Those manu-
featured furs are such faithful copies
of the real article that in many IN
stances it requires an expert to dis
crininate between the two.
Those who require an up-to-date fur
wrap at a moderate cost cannot DO
better than copy the real furs in fur
cloth. This is by no means a difflcuit
proceeding, as the far cloth can be OBJ
tanned in wide widths that can readily
be draped in graceful lines.

terial it is as we'll to add an interim

MAHITOBA'S AGRlcUL TURAL
INDUSTRY
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN
THAT PROVINCE DURING THE
PAST FEW YEARS.


The past year has shown that the
Province of Manitoba, the Premier
Province of Western Canada, stands
out prominently in point of wealth in
her agricultural productions. Mani
toba had an excellent yield of wheat
IN 1914, the oat crop was not so good,
and with the high price received. every
farmer was placed in a good financial
position.
For some years, as is probably the
case in all new countries, Manitoba
went largely into the growing of
grain, and while this paid we'll for a
time, 1t was found that having to pur-
chase his meat, his milk and a num-
Der OF other daily requisites, the farm
ala not pay as ii should Now, there
Is another side to it. Fodder crops
are grown. cattle are being raised,
cheese factories and creaneries are
established, and the result is that the
financial position of the farmers of
Manitoba is as strong as that of those
IN any other portion of the continent.
Scarcely farmer today but has real
lzed that the growing of grains alone
mas a precarious side. and that posi-
1--WE security can only be assured by
diversified farming, and securing the
latest modern and most economic
methods. Therefore timothy, clover,
aifalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are
universally grown. Most wonderful
success meets the efforts of the farm
ers in the cultivation of these grasses,
and the yields compare favorably
with those of many older countries,
While In many cases they exceed them.
1t is worth while recording the acre
age OF these crops this season as com
pared with last, because the figures re-
nect the remarkable progress that is
being made in dairying and in the
peer and pork industry. In 1918 bronze
grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye
grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on
1872 acres. clover on 1928 acres, al
falfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on
2O,223 acres. In 1914 the respective
acreage under those crops were 25,444
acres, 27,100 acres, 165,990 acres, 7,2l2
acres, and 10,250 acres and 80, 430 acres.
Alfalfa particularly is coming into its
own, the acreage having been more
than doubled last year
1t is simply the natural process of
evolution from the purely grain farm
ing which Manitoba knew as the only
method twenty years ago to the more
diversified forms of agriculture that
is responsible for the development
along these other lines in this Prov
ince. Alberta is coming to it at an
earlier stage than did Manitoba. Sas-
katchewan, too, is following rapidly
in the same direction
Then, as her fodder crop and root
crop acreage indicate, there have been
increases in the holdings of all kinds
of live stock during the past twelve
months, according to the correspond
ent for the Toronto Globe Beef cattle
number $4,000 head this year, as
against $4,000 last year; milch cows
are 160474 head, as against 157,963
head; pigs number 325,00 as against
248,000; sheep number $4,000, as
against $4,000; and there are 1926, 900
horses, as compared with 100000 at
this time last year. These are the
latest Provincial figures, and they
show that despite the great effiux of

Says Sulphur
 Drives Eczema
 From the Skin
USE LIKE COLD CREAM TO IN. STANTLY STOP ITCHING AND
 CLEAR THE SKIN

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol- ogist, just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream will Soothe and heal the skin when irTitated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applica- tions the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold sulphur cream and apply 1t to the irri- tated parts the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years common bold-sul- phur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutan- eous affections by reason of its para site destroying property. It is not only parasitictdal, but also antipruritic, an- tiseptic remarkably healing in all irri- table and inflammatory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a permanent cure it never fails to in- stantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

There were three classy vaudeville acts on the programme for the last of the week at the Auditorium, and good sized audiences were in evidence at both afternoon and evening per fornances on Thursday. Kennedy and Farnsworth headed the bill in a singing, dancing and character chang ing skit that won a big hand for them. Don Romaine, the triple voiced singer, shared a good part of the applause, and Jennings and Wilson, who are comedians, kept things humming with their funny little songs and up-to-the- minute jokes.
 Weights and Measures, master piece in two reels. in which Warren Kerrigan. the noted movie artist, takes a prominent part, was the feature film. The Man of Her Choice, a strongly dramatic film. the scenes of which are laid among the rocks and barren shore of an unihabited island, came in for a good deal of attention. and Bess the Detectress, a comedy film, brought down the house.

LEBANON MAN THREATENED
 WIFE WITH A PISTOL.
Samuel Latender Arrested at His
 Home-RevoIver Under the Bed. >

Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin went to Lebanon Wednesday night, where he arrested Samuel Latender on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. Complaint was made to Sheriff Sidney A. Brown that Laten- der was threatening to shoot his wire and that no constable or sherin could be found in Lebanon. The complaint was received about 10 o'clock and Dep uty Sheriff Martin left immediately by automobile, arriving in Lebanon about 12 o'clock.
 Armed with a warrant sworn out by Grand Juror Kneeland, Deputy Shertff Martin went to Latender's home,where he found the man in bed. Latender was immediately placed under arrest and a search revealed a revolver un- der the bed.
 The complaint was made by Mrs Latender, who said that her husban had threatened to shoot her several times, because of a disagreement over their daughter living in the house.
 Latender was presented before Jus tlce of the Peace Blakesley shortly after midnight and the case continued until Friday. Oct. 2. Bonds were fixed at $200. in default of which Latendel went to Jail, being committed about o'clock Thursday morning.
