The very next thing that every one
thought about, as soon as the noise OF
the peace jubilee died down, was
something new to wear. There was
an immediate reaction in the matter
of dress, from the econOmizing that
the war inspired, from the rather Sc
date colorS and plain styles-from do
Ing without-to just the other things.
DreSsmakers are overwhelmed with
work and all women with one accord
want some new and pretty clothes.
This is the most natural feeling in
the world since clothes are our uni
versal means of expression and we
must dress up to the joyousness of
having our victorious soldiers home
again.
Wraps and coats of cloth or fur, or
both combined, have been made in a
great variety of styles this season.
Originality in design has been fea-
ture of the styles so that a new
conner among them must be of SUI
perior quality and very unusual de-
sign to meet the high standards al
ready set. Here's a new wrap, a
unique combination of coat and cape
that invites comparisons. 1t appears
to be of a heavy jersey cloth but one
can visualize it In other soft coatings
as velours or pompon cloth. 1t is
a sleeveless short coat hanging strait
from the shoulders. 1t is turned up
about the bottom and forms two deep

Bored by His Elders.

William Robertson Smith, who later
became one of the most learned Bibli-
cal scholars of his day, was a
very precocious child. Talk was q
passion with him, declare his biog-
raphers, but even in his very early
years he insisted that it must be good
talk. Nothing wearied him more than
to listen to the conversation of the
company that came TO his fathers
manse when it was not of the improv-
ing sort, especially if he had to sit
silent himself, according to the rule
then strictly enforced on children. On
one of these occasions, when a rev.
erend collegiate had stayed long and
after having prosed mercilessly. had
at length left, Willie is said to have
drawn his stool up to his fathers knee.
"And now, papa he said, looking up
with an air of one whose endurance
is at an end, 'let us have some ration

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR CRIPPS.

It has always seemed to me that DR..
Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when list of Americas
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at small
price. He did not follow the usual CUSTOM
Of keeping the ingredients secret, SO that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name OF
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue
cessful remedies Is known as Or. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar
coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves
of aloe, root of jalap- things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no bad after-efects, as so many
pills do. Very often they make person
who takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines of
hard, decayed and poisonous matter that
accumulates when one is costive. If you
are constipated, by all means go to your
druggist and get some of DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be
the very thing your system requires to
make you well and happy.

In an official announcement issued
10 the 1854 chapters and 100000
members, Mr.. Dawson says:
1--WE must labor in cooperation with
the National Red Cross and relief So
cieties of other nations to the end
that not alone the heart of America,
but the heart of all mankind, may be-
come modified on behalf of suffering
humanity.
"While, therefore, the plans of the
American Red Cross in this direction
cannot be formulated specifically in
advance of the general relief program
Of the allied governments, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is nevertheless planning
TO develop its permanent organization
in this country upon a scale never be-
fore contemplated in time Of peace.
STUDY is being given by the ma
tional organization, not alone to prob
lens Of international relief, but to
planS in this country for enlarged
home service, the promotion of public
health education, development of nurs-
Ing, the care and prevention of acct
dents and other correlated lines which
may contribute to the health and hap
piness of men, women and children.
For the completion of its war
work and for the institution of its
peace program, the Red Cross is for
tunately in a healthy financial condi-
ton. What the American Red Cross
needs now is not so much contribu-
tons of money, as the continued devo-
ton and loyalty of its members"
In the last sentence was the key
note. of the Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call--an appeal for continued support
through membership rather than call
for funds.

of clinging together. Possibly a few
little snap fasteners help out.
The coat makes a support for a

There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds Of thousands Of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much of each.
The government OF the Dominion OF
Canada has no land for sale, but with
in the boundaries of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres Of choice
land owned by railway and land COM
panies and private individuals. 1t
holds no brief for any, nor are any
of them clients. But it is to the in

is with the purpose of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Can
ada, especially Western Canada, pos

| fact. The purpose is to place before
| the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in

ada, to any portion of the three prov
inces--Manitoba Saskatchewan and
Alberta-specially indicated in this
work, is but trifie compared with the
benefits that personal inspection may
give. Therefore the advice is to do
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
| for giving the country a thorough and
careful examination. 1t may be that
| you wish an improved farm, all ready
for occupation and cultivation; you
may want raw prairie, which only re-
| quires blowing and the other prepara-
| ton necessary for seed bed, leaving
1t to yourself to erect your buildings,
sink your well, prepare your garden,
and ascertain how close you are to
school, church, town and market. You
may wish to go into mixed farming,
combining the raising of stock with the
growing of grain. In this case you
will look out for some shelter from
sun, wind and storm, and want farm
portion of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with it. You may make this out of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure partially wooded lot,
where water and pasture are already
at hand. You may wish to go into the
raising Of cattle, or sheep alone; then
you will care less for the open prairie,
but select something that may cost you
less in the more northeriy districts.
No matter what you may want, unless
it be land upon which to grow cotton,
bananas or other tropical or semi-trop-
ical products, your inspection trip will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any
literature you may read advises you.-

Natural Nutria.

Natural nutria is much used on
childish costumes this season. It is a
pretty fur, something like natural
beaver, but not nearly as expensive. 1t
is made up into fetching little cravats,
collars and caps with round childish
muffs to match, of course. A muff is
just the indispensable completing
touch to any wee maids winter cos
tune. Little caps in the rakish fore
and aft shape of the overseas army

matched by collars and muffs.
