"OH, yes it can" lot of people thought.
And so they tried it. But those people were
wrong For to initiate Canada Dry" is as
impossible and futile as trying TO gild the
lily. 1t can't be done.
Why? First, because this ginger ale is
made from the purcSt ingredients. Second,
because it contains high grade Jamaica
ginger. Third, because this ginger ale is
blended in an exact proportion TO produce

But most important of all--thc formula
from which Canada Dry" is made is

ultimately rests the reason for its marvellous,

Hold Ostrich Plumes
for Return to Favor

If feathers ever come back into IA
vor many poor man win make a for
tune. There are still many ostrich
feathers in storage at customs ware
houses in Britain. The plumes were
left on their owners hands when the
fashion changed.
Some of them would have been ex-
tremeIy valuable 20 years ago. Now
they can be used onlyin making cush-
ions or busters, while a few of the
smaller feathers are sold each year to
dressmakers for the costumes OF de-
butantes who are to be presented at
court.
The fact that synthetic feathers are
now being made causes the value Of
the real ones to depreciate stillamore.
Yet number of dealers believe that
feathers will come back soon, and are
determined to keep the rarer piumes
till they do.--London Answers.

Home Always Big Asset.

The satisfaction of life and con-.
tentment with government in any CIV
ilized country are measured largely
by the extent of home ownership.
Anything that endangers the welfare
Of the home endangers the welfare of
the government; contrarily, anything
that aids in the development of the
home. makes for stability of govern
ment..
Frequently the only asset of much
value in mans estate. which he
leaves to his family, is a home. and
this is often sufficient to carry the
family through. A home is the best
security against poverty in old age.
The desire, to own a place of your
own is the most common desire of
man.

Wisdom in Spending
When Building House

The reasonable economies in home
building should start at the very be-
ginning. First, commission a compe-
tent architect to plan your house. To
use common expression. lay the cards
on the table, tell him exactly what you
want to pay and what you want in
your house.. Let him tell you about
the materials he plans to use and then
have him diagnose the case. The
average architect really takes as much
pride in producing good house as
he does in the money received, and
you can rest assured that he would
rather lose some, money in commission
and turn out good structure than
the other way about. declares writer
In the Philadelphia Ledger.
He really has the interest of your
house at heart, and when he makes
suggestions it is not because he wants
You to do something you don't want
to do; 1t is only because he thinks 1t
is for your best interests.
You can't make silk purse out Of a
sow's ear, as the saying goes, and
You can't get well-constructed house
out Of poor materials. Spend wisely
and well, and you will find that when
the house Is completed twill measure
up to every expectation and then
some.

interested and small appropriations
made possible importations through the
next ten years until. in 1902, when the.

Lapland. Doctor Jackson's early inter-.

by report on the Industry there made
by the professor.
In pursuance or Professor Ander-
sons advice, Lapp herders were en-
gagged 10 replace sSiberians as in-
& structors to the Eskimos. Each was
lent 100 animals from the government
herd for period OF years, at the end
OF which an equal number of reindeer
were required to be returned to the
government. The Laps were permit

Consider Harmony in
Selection Of Coicrs

Selection OF the colors for tile ex-
terror Of a: house requires careful
study Of surroundings. Houses which
stand out prominently respond best to
the most simple treatment. Neutral
grays or drabs, with lighter gray or
ivory white for trim, give satisfactory
results. Ornamental work OF all
kinds should be kept in harmony WIN
the body color. When a house hides
among the trees and shrubs. light coll
ors come into their own. Bright coli
ors on an exposed house give bare
look.
When houses are grouped closely to-
gether the colors of those nearby must
be considered. If the house next door
is yellow, yours shouldn't be bright
green. Don't try to make yours differ
ent. It's up to you to do your share
to make both houses appear to best
advantage. If you painted yours a
creamy gray. body color with ivory
white trim and green roof, you would
be doing well by yourself and your
neighb0r. Two wrongs In color Sc
lection never make right.
A house between two others painted
in strong colors should adopt neu-
trail hue. Try to make your color
blend into or bridge over the other
two colors. There are many ways in
which color questions can be solved,
but it Is best, to look carefully before
you choose. An atrociously colored
house is more than an individual mis-
take-it is crime against the good
taste Of neighborhood. Cleveland
