WINNIPEG, MANITOBA,
THE GREATEST WHEAT
MARKET ON THE CON-
TINENT
hemarkable yields of wheat,
OATS, BARLEY AND FLAX IN
WESTERN CANADA LAST
YEAR.
Figures recently Issued show that
the wheat receipts at Winnipeg last
year were 88.269,330 bushelB, as com-
pared with the Minneapolis receipts
of 81,111,410 bushels, this placing Win-
nipeg at the head of the wheat re-
ceiving markets of the continent. Fol-
lowing up this information It is found
that the yields throughout the prov-
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, as given the writer by agents
of the Canadian Government sta-
tioned in different parts of the.States,
havo been splendid. A few of the
Instances are given:
Near Hedvers, Sask., Jens Hortncsa
threshed ubout 50 acres of wheat, av-
eraging 29 bushels to the acre. Near
Elphmstone. Sask., many of the crops
of oats would run to nearly 100 bush-
elB to the acre. A Mr. Mulr had about
200 acres of this grain and he esti-
mates the yield at about 60 bushels
per acre. Wheat went 35 bushels to

A Dry Wash.
Representative Livingston of Geor-
gia, who. disgusted at the bath-tub
debate in the house recently, proposed
that a little money might be made by
renting the bath tubs out, said recent-
ly, apropos of this subject:
"We are now a good deal like Bill
Sprlgglns on a zero morning.
"Bill's ralet entered his bedroom
one January morning and said with a
shiver:
"'Will you take your bath hot or
cold, sir?'
Thank you,' said Bill; Tl^take it
for granted.'"
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great Im-
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals, la the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength aa a stlffen-
er makea half the usual quantity of
Starch necesaary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

Many Practical Waye In Whleh They
May Be Utilised—Exeellant for
Cutting Out Dreae PaV
terns.
Housewives are telling ua that the
roller shades of today are fragile and
abort lived compared to the substan-
tial Holland ahades we all bought a
decade ago. The spring breaks too
easily—a single snap or Jar when set
too tensely will rupture It—render the
whole shade uaeleaa unleaa you care
to bother with meaaurements and aup-
ply a new roller to auit When the body
of the curtain ltaelf la a little worn
and punctured It doesn't sedm to pay.
The ahade la a discard and the waate-
fulneaa apparent.
But there are aeveral practical uses
for window shades that are past ordi-
nary uae—the cheap paper onea as
well as those of standard material.
The latter la excellent for cutting
out dreaa patterns that you wish to
preserve agalnat the ravages of time
and conatant handling.
Bealdea being strong and easily
rolled. It yields readily to the preaaure
of hot flatlrona, thus having the ad-
vantage over the flimay delicate tie-
sue paper In which most patterna are
offered for aale. When smoothed or
Ironed out on dress goods for cutting,
It "staya put" and requires less pin-
ning and readjusting. Some dress
patterns, entirely out of the province
of fads, are good for years when cut
out of something more durable than
newapapers or the like. Foundation
sleeve patterna, glove fitting waist,
and princess patterna would easily fall
Into thla claaa.
There are few abrupt changes In
the at/lea of aprons, underwear, in-
fanta' clothea, and the like, and here
again one pattern cut out of aome-
thlng atout and durable may aave you
much ahopplng.
Holland window shade material also
makea excellent stencils for practical
uae as well as for preserving the pat-
tern. And a little of this Is generally
on hand when the regular gelatin pa-
per Is not available.
One housewife haa used old win-
dow shadea In a more Ingenious way.
Being too narrow for any of the win-
dows In her new home, she had one
of them fastened under the pantry
ahelf, where It could be drawn down
waate of time than turning the leaves
oooking recipe came to hand that par-
ticularly appealed to her she would
draw down this shade and paste it un-
der the proper heading. It la far
handler than a cookbook, for she can
run her eye over the whole rapidly
and spot the recipe required with less
eommodlously. Whenever a good new
of a big cookbook entails.
Intact parts of this window shade
material afTord a good foundation for
acrapbooks or more particularly books
In which to keep your embroidery and
crochet patterna. Cut the leaves of
average book else, and punch several
holes down the edge large enough for
fish cord or baby ribbon to pass
through. Lace back and forth across
the back edge through opposite holes
to get a fairly secure binding. It is
better to sew your samples or pat-
terns to the leaves than to keep them
lying loose. Then you will always
know just where to find them instead
of going through the whole collection.

" For twenty-fline years I have
been at intervals a great sufferer
from rheumatism. During that
time, no telling how many gal-
lons of the various kinds of lini-
ments and oils I have used and
with but little relief. Recently,
I was confined to my bed help-

and used it with such satisfactory results that I sent for two large bottles,
and I have up to this time used about half a 50 cent bottle with splendid
success."—James Hydb, Beebe, White County, Ark.

brought on rheumatism in the sciatic nerve. I had it so bad one night
