CANADA'S NEW
DEVELOPMENT
After the War a Period of Pros
perity.

It is evident that the Government of
the Dominion in its programme of re-
construction and development is un-
dertaking a work of tremendous i'm
portance. There will be available the
labor for work that has been silent
since 1914, and the rehabilitation of
this labor will entail the thought and
energy Of most capable heads. The
transition period from war to peace
will be rapid and thorough, and, in
stead OF Canada sinking into a state
OF lethargy, there will be a continued
period Of wakefulness that will give
employment to the unemployed, and
render to the capitalist and producer
ample return for his money, effort
and enterprise.
The agricultural potentialities Of
the great Canadian West possess illim-
table acres of the best of soil, capable
of producing millions of bushels of
the best Of grain. The cost of grow
ing this is lower than any place on
the continent. There will be a greater
demand than ever for these lands, the
consequent production will be heavier
and the profits attractive. Cattle
industry will be one Of the chief de-
velopments, and the encouragement Of
It will lie in the continued high prices
that beef products will bring. Euro.
pean countries have been depleted of
cattle, and the demand for beef, cattle
and dairy products will tax the efforts
Of the producer for years to come.
Western Canada offers unequale,l
opportunities for development in this
line.
In the Canadian West plans are be-
ing laid for the development Of cleo
trical power which can be produced
cheaply. There is an abundance Of
coal and water power that could be
used in developing this useful energy.
What cheap power produced in this
way will mean to the farmer and de-
velopment of Industrial enterprises
cannot be estimated in figures.
More extensive development Of the
water power at Niagara, on the st.
Lawrence and at waterfalls all over
the country, is ready to be launched
Peace will see new mine fields
opened up, and it is equally certain
that shipbuilding, railway equipment,
steel production, and many of the in
dustries will go forward with
bound.
Canadian industries will be required
IN the reconstruction Of Europe, and
already the Canadian Government has
sent across the seas a commission for
the purpose Of securing orders. Cam
ada took an early and prominent part
n the war, and in the days of peace
will be found equally active. She feels
hat by the valor and loyalty Of her
people she has earned a large share
# the business and prosperity that
will follow the war period. and she
proposes to get it.-Advertisement.

Care in Small THINGS.

1t may be stretching It bit to say
that the woman is hopeless who wears
IN expensive frock and carries a cheap
or shabby pocketbOOk. But it never
theleSs is true that the success Of an
outfit does greatly depend on just so
small thing as pocketbOok or hand
bag, If you prefer. These little things
are, after aE, the telltale signs Of the
woman who studies harmony not only
IN her dressing but in her life as we'll.
For care1essness in one way leads to
carelessness or thOughtfessness In 9TH
er directions. There Is marked ten
dency toward smaller handbags. This
may be due to the fact that the ma
terials from which the new bags are
made are In most cases very expensive
and elaborate. Were these bags made
large, they would have the appearance
Of Overriding it, and that would not,
at present, do Mt all.

HINTS FOR THE H0USEKEEPER
Baking Custard-To Give Blankets
Nice color-NaiIing Blinds on RoI-
lers-lmproves Meat Flavor.

When making baked cuStard, if
the milk is warmed before adding the
eggs no water will settle in the bottom
Of the baking dish.
After washing blankets in the usual
way, leave them overnight in bath
Of cold water:
When mailing blinds on to rollers,
slip the roller into the hem, then lay
a narrow piece Of tape along before
putting in the nails. This will effectu-
ally prevent the blind from being torn.
To prevent milk from scorching,
cover the bottom of the saucepan with
water, and let it get scalding hot be-
fore putting in the milk to boil.
A little vinegar added to the wa
ter in which bacon or ham is boiled
improves the flavor of the meat.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
How to Clean Old NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Black Velvet-To Obtain Bettes
Flavor to Fish.

To clean old jewelry, make a lather
Of warm soapsuds and add to it half
a teaspoonful Of sal volatile brush the
jewelry in this, afterward polishing
with an old silk handkerchief or piece
Of washleather.
To revive black velvet, hold the ar
ticle pile side up over the steam of
nearly boiling water to which little
ammonia has been added. Brush and
iron on the wrong side.
To make good shaving soap, save
all scraps of good toilet soap and put
them into a little jar, just cover with
water and place in the oven till melt
ed.
When frying fish, sprinkle little
salt in the fat; this gives the fish
much better flavor.

REMEMBERED
g
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

1.-THE heart is hard in nature and unfit
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both. that Is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust off his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without d very good reason for
It Making new acquaintance is usu-
niIy an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintance until they BIOS
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy, is different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them 90 their homes to dine, to
theater party; or merrymaking-
they are still acquaintances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand it.
Many one has counted up hundred
So called friends today. But if adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for sOlace and cheer.
Not one pair Of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, If one is sud-
denly bereft of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintance
find it easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its hallowed
memories.
A woman will remember every detail
Of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed Of him at first
sight She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour Of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought It
quite Unexpectedly about.

buttons, and has an immense collar
that does sentry duty in guarding the
neck. The undersleeves are made of
sealskin. They protect the arms,
which emerge from long slashes cut
In the cape at the waistline.
There is another cape which has no
visible opening. 1t is merely an i'm
mense circular piece of sealskin,
which slips on over the head through
an Obl0ng opening at the neck and
even this aperture is speedily covered
by an immense collar of kOlinsky.

Those Trick Sleeves.

One Of the interesting features OF
this seasons wraps Is the number OF
"trick" sleeves developed. There
seems to be a mania among coat de-
signers for making sleeves that button
or hook in two or three different ways.
For example, a coat Of black satin,
banded to the knees with Hudson seal,
has a sort of bolero bodice of fur,
with underneath full length plain
sleeves of satin. The fur sleeves may
be fastened over the satin sleeves If
desired, or left unfastened so that the
Cur part is turned into round, waist
length cape at the back.
