NIGHT.

c. @. Bioyd. formerly a member OF
the Canon City Fire department, but
for the last three months associated
rs an assistant OF Captain c. II. Bald.
win at the prison road-making camp
in the Poudre river canon In Larimer
county. twentysevcn miles west OF
Fort Collins. came home Sunday night
and will be assigned to other work
by Warden lyman OF the penitentiary.
Mr.. Bioyd says there are at present
fifty-two convicts working under
Captain Baldwin on the Poudre canon
highway, but that the number will
shortly be reduced owing to the fact
that SO many men cannot be used to
advantage because OF the narrowness
OF the canon. which is only twenty.
seven feet wide at the place where
the camp Is now located.

WHAT PILLS ARE EXPECTED TO

The best tonic for the home-maker
and mother OF family is new clothes
There is not merely Joy but real
health-giving qualities in a new hat Or
gown. Too many times the mother
says anything will do for me" 50
often that the whole family comes to
believe it. The woman who knows
she is becomingly dressed will carry
herself erect and walk with a certain
spring and elasticity impossible to the
shabby or dowdy woman.
The problem OF being well dressed
is not matter OF having more money
to spend for clothes so much as it is
one of knowing how TO spend the
money already available Study your
good points and emphasize them;
study your defects and conceal them
as much as possible.
In any garment comfort must re the
first consideration. No one can look
well in costume that is not comfort
able. but some women do not discri-
inmate between comfort and unsdi-
ness. Older women should always
avoid extremes of fashion. Short
skirts are comfortable. and becoming

figure. but the mature woman is like
" to be stout, so she will find a
skirt two inches from the ground

members of the family to convince
