Girdles also offer another possibility for freshening dresses, The girdle is an important feature of the dress . at 764I—;629 For a Combination of Materials present, and there are many charming styles, varying from the very nar- row apron -string girdle hanging with long, loose ends, to the wide girdle which is arranged artistically in a soft, crushed effect. Wide ribbon girdles are very often seen. The use of ribbon as a dress trim- ming is also quite a novelty. It is used to finish the new collarless necks and sleeves, and also trims the skirts family. "To my family," the will runs, "I bequeath friendships many and num- erous in the hope that they will be cherished and continued. True friend- ships are the most valuable of our To vary the monotony of the per- fectly straight -up-and-down dress, there are several nliw models of which one is shown in the sketch. The waist is cut in sections, permitting the use of two materials . The skirt shows earthly possessions, more precious the new puffed effect at the lower than gold, more enduring than marble edge, with the draped panels confined palaces, more important than fame. As Henry Drummond has well said, 'Friendship is the nearest thing we know to what religion is!' " The family that inherits such wealth is truly rich, But it is a legacy that must be used if it would be preserved. Friendships cannot bo locked away in safes or loaned to historical exhibits and museums, Like love and faith and courage, they belong to that in- tangible. treasure of the soul that must be kept from destruction by constant' service. It is not alone material things that "rust doth corrupt." How many of us have let slip through busy or careless fingers the beautiful and glowing friendships of our youth? We did not mean to do it; indeed wo have often regretted the loss until as the years pass, the•re- gret gradually fades away. And if that is true of our own friends, how far more true of our fathers' friends! Yet there have been families where .friendships have passed down from' tallier to son for several generations. There is food for thought here. How many fathers are building up fine and loyal and serviceable friendships that they can with pride and gratitude be- queath to their sons? How many mothers are storing up nice treasures for their daughters2. The question does not end there, Iiow many young people of to -day are 'fitting themselves to receive such' legacies? How many in all the varied and urg- ent calls of life are heeding thet chal- lenge to make themselves worthy of friendships by being loyal and fine - tempered and generous friends them- selves? "A man that hath friends," tht3 old Book of Wisdom declares, "must show himself friendly"; and again, "Thine own friend .and thy fathor'a friend) forseks not."

These Valuable Fur -bearers Can be Successfully Bred. While fox ranching is the most im- portant and best known branch of domestic fur production, the roaring of various other valuable fur bearers will probably occupy a prominent place in future fur -farming develop- ment. The experience of Mr. E. L, MacDonald, of Halifax, demonstrates that mink can be successfully bred in captivity. "In the spring of 1914, I decided to try if some success could not be at- tained with this highly nervous and delicate animal, and bought two pairs from a rancher. As one of these had been injured when caught it died shortly afterwards, but after some dif- ficulty I was able to purchase anoth- er female. In the spring of 1915, I had fourteen live minks, but unfortun- ately on account of not separating the young of one of the families from the mother soon enough, I lost the mother. In the spring of 1916 I had forty-six to take care of, and, profiting by my experience of the year before, was able to save all of them and this year, with no bad luck, I will probably have one hundred animais. "If their surroundings are at all natural, with the proper care in feed- ing and a little judgment in the mat- ing season, I can see no reason why anyone so inclined, cannot raise mink both profitably and as a pastime. "I find the ranch -bred mink are more contented and much larger than the wild ones, and believe the regular feeding is conductive to better fur; be- ing larger, of course, the animal is more valuable from every standpoint. "The dens should be large enough for them to play in, and as natural as is possible, although they are animals that do not require any luxuries if their house is dry and aleaa." Get Careless. "A man who never made a mistake never made anything," said the Wise One. "Yes," agreed the Boob. "But a lot of chaps who believe in that get careless and never make anything but mistakes."

Dogs pass! easily where no man could hope to get through olive, and the way they can! be trained to take out a message and bring back an answer is little short of ; marvellous. They seem to catch the; real martial spirit, and cases are num- h erous where dogs have struggled home though grievously wounded and died after completing their task, In the Vosges and the Argonne a dog is indispensable to the sentinels. To show what a difference they make, lin instance is given of two regiments relieving each other alternately in a dangerous sector. The one which made liberal use of clogs never Lost it sentry, and time after time Were able, owing to their clogs, to surprise enemy patrols and to snipe sentinels, The ether, who had no dogs, lost seven sentries in three clays. Some of the smartest surprises in the war were possible only owing to the assistance lent by dogs. Sheepdogs of fifteet months to two years of age are the best, and they undergo a training according to the capacities they develop. Petrol and scouting dogs work indiscriminately with any detachment, but liaison dogs must always be kept with the man who taught them their work. Nearly all the dogs used were pre- sented to the army, and weekly reports are made to then' old Masters as to the prowess they have displayed, and how they'are faring.

Lack of Windows an Incentive to Dangerous Praetlees In any statement of buildings de- stroyed by fire, barns and stables oc-, cupy a prominent place, One of the chief reasons for Otis is the neves. nary use of lanterns and other lights. In many barns ar'tideial light must bo used at almost all hours, with the re- sultant element of danger, We have in mind a splendid farm building, well built and kept in good condition, with the surroundings neat and tidy. It is, however, lacking in one essential --sufficient windows to provde light for the interior. With closed doors this barn would be al- most carnplotely dark, and hence the incentive to light a match, There is nothing more dangerous^ than a light- ed match in a barn, with, probably, loose straw or Lay on the floor, and everything as dry as tinder. Daylight is one of the cheapest of our natural resources, and it is easily transmitted. While making use of daylight, farmers will at the same time remove n very serious element of fire danger --a cause of fires in barna and stables which can only be charg- ed to pure carelessness, teacher s Not Lost One Day In A Year Mrs. Roger Gives Credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills. -- pRO1l'IT-MARINO NEWS AND JOB Ofaoee for sate in good Ontario Before that She Suffered from Sciatica, towns.

B.,; Mar, 19th (Special). Mrs, jos, Roger,' the popular teacher here, is fully re- covered from a long siege of sciatica,' neuralgia, and other troubles resulting from diseased kidneys and has made a statement in which she gives Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit for her cure. "My trouble came from a strain," Mrs. Roger states, "and I suffered for thirteen months. Backache, heart flutterings, sciatica, neuralgia, dizzi- ness and failing memory were among my symptoms. When the doctor I consulted failed to do me any lasting good I decided that my kidneys were the root of my troubles and decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I took twelve boxes in all and you may judge of the results when I tell you that I have not lost a day's work as teacher in the last year. "I can say that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done all for me that was claimed for them." Others of Mrs. Roger's symptoms were nervousness, that tired feeling, irritability and a dry harsh skin that itched and burned at night. They all carne from diseased kidneys and all vanished when she used Dodd's Kidney Pills.
