INDIAN BASKET WEAVERS."
Women Work All Winter to Bring
Products to Market in Spring.
As soon as the roads are fit for
foot travel the Indian women will
come from -their homes, bringing in
wondrous creations in basketry and
quill work. Throughout the win-
ter the women spend their days :and
evenings working on their basketry.
It takes practically .a year to
gather, prepare and weave baskets.
From one spring to another the
woman is gathering sweet grass,
basswood bark, black ash, hedge-
hqg quills and white birch baric for
her work, sometimes having to go
miles into the woods to peel the
bark, :slay the hedgehog or gather
the grasses from some wayside
creek.
The sweet grass, which isa wild
fragrant reed grass and grows on
the banks of creeks and ponds, its
gathered in the fall. Before it can
° be woven or sewed into baskets it
has to be rolled across the hot sur''
face of a stove. When it has been
sufficiently rolled about and ab-
sorbed enough heat to make it suit-
able for her purposes, the woman
ties a knot in one end and hangs
it head downward upon. a. nail on
the outside wall of her house, or
hooks it over a tree branch in the
sun. This grass has been used by
the Indianls for generations, and
,although sone commercial 'basket
manufacturers have begun its use,
their wares do not have the wearing
quality of those made by the Indian
women basket weavers, because it
is not dried by hand, and thus loses
its flexibility.
Ot`he'r• ' work done by these In-
dian women is of white birch bark
curiously eanbroided and embel-
lished with hedgehog quills. These
re,cepbac es. are trimmed with bands
of sweet grass) and tasseled off with
a fibre made of basswood bark.
This fibre, which • resembles coarse
yarn, is made by boiling the bark
until of the right consistency, then
drawing it through a. hole in a bone
or stone until it is twisted into
strands. It is then dried in the
sun and when dried is ready for
braiding or for whatever purpose
it le to be put.
Black ash is the wood material
used for basketry, This lash is first
pounded with a dull implement un-
til it begins to split. A heavy knife
is then run ander the strips, care-
fully removing them in the desired
widiths. When they are needed they
are first laid in a bucket of waren
water, which softens them so they
can be woven without breaking,
Her hedgehog quills are dampened
by placing them in a basin of waran
water while She is working. Her
bark she puts into a warm oven.
Frequently the finds misty weather
suitable to basket weaving and
takes her materials outdoors, sit-
ting on the ground es she works.
Several of her neighbors will bring
their work into her yard and the
three or four of them chat while
they weave, ignoring the mists en-
tirely,
One Brings On Another.
r!I don't see how there ever catnse
to be so many words in the world 1"
exclaimed a girlwho wasstudying
her spelling lessons.
"Why, ,sells," said her brother,
"they come through folk quarrel-
ling. Then, you know, one word
always 'brings on another."
llTessage of Hope
For All Women
MISS MARY SABOURIN TELLS
HOW SHE FOUND HEALTH.
Suffered for Three Years and Could
Find No Lasting Relief Till 'She'
Used Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Thurso, Que., May24th (Special).
Tired, run-down women.can read a
message. of hope in the statement of
Miss Mary Sabourin, an estimable
lady living here. In a statement to
the public Miss Sabourin says
"I was a sufferer for three years.
I was always tired and nervous.
My sleep was broken and unre-
freshing. I was troubled wibh head-
aches and pains in my back. I had
heart flutterings to add to my anx-
iety.
"I was treated by adoctor and a
specialist, but nothing seemed to
do me any lasting good till I
started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and I took just three boxes of
them."
Nine -tenths of women's troubles
c•om,e from sick Kidneys. Sick kid-
neys fail in their duty of straining
the impurities out of the blood.
That means that poison and disease
is carried to all parts of the body.
The remedy is to cure the kidneys
with Dodd's Kidney Pills. If . you
haven't used them ask your neigh-
bor 'about them, Nearly every
family in. Canada is using or had
used Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Computing the Weight of Cattle.
There are many rules for esti-
mating .the weight of cattle by
measurement, but one of the .au-
thorities on the subject says that
"There is no rule that comes near-
er than good guessing," and that
"no two animals will weigh alike
according to measurement."
The same authority further re-
marks that a rule, as good as any,
is to find the superficial feet by
multiplying the girth, just behind
the shoulder blades, by the length
from the fore part of the shoulder
blade to the root of the tail.
Thus an ox girthing 7 feet 9
inches, and (measuring 6 feet in
length, would contain seven and
three-quarters times six, or forty-
six and a half superficial feet. For
cattle, grass fed, the following is
given_as the weight per superficial
foot:
Girth Iess than three feet—ll
pounds; girth three to five . feet
f6 pounds; girth five to seven feet
—23 pounds; girth seven to' nine
feet -31 pounds.
Thue the steer, as per above
measurements, should weigh 46.50
by 31, or 1,,441 pounds, gross. Un-
der this rule it is usual to deduct
one pound in twenty on half -fatted
cattle, from fifteen to twenty
pounds on a cow having .two calves,
and if not fatted an equal .amount:
The author of this rule suggests its
use only when the scale is wanting,
•as the scale is the only true stand-
ard.

WHEN DINNER COMES
One Ought to Have a Good Appe.
tite.
A good appetite is the best sauce.
It goes a long way toward helping
in the digestive procelsts, and that
is absolutely essential to health and
strength.
Many persons have found that
Grape -Nuts food is not only nour-
ishing but is a great appetizer, and
children like the taste of it and
grow strong and rosy from its use,
It is especially the food to make
a weak stomach strong and create
an appetite for dinner.
"I am 57 years old," writes a.
grandmother, " and have had a
weak stomach from childhood. By
great care'as to mydiet l,enjoyed a
reasonable degree of heallth, but
never . found anything to, equal
Grape -Nuts as a :standby.
"When I have no appetite for
breast and just eat to keep up
my strength, I take 4 telaspoonifuls
of Grape -Nuts with good rich milk,
and when dinner comes 'I am hun-
gry. While if I go without any
breakfast I never feel like eating
dinner. Grape -Nuts for breakfast
seems to make a healthy appetite
for dinner.
"My little grandson was sick with
stomach trouble during the past
summer,and final) we cut him on
y 1
Grape -Nuts. Now he is growing
plump and well. When asked if he
wants his nurse or Grape -Nuts, he
brightens up and points to the cup-
board. He was no trouble to wetan
at all—thanks to Grape -Nuts."

Halifax Sends Out a Message of Help
to Many People,
Halifax, N.S., Dec., 15.—Wheu inter-
viewed at her home at 194 Argyle St.,
Mrs. Baverstock was quite willing to
talk of her peculiarly unfortunate case.
"I was always 'blue' and depressed,
felt weak. languid and utterly unfit
for any work. My stomach was so
disordered that I had no appetite.
What I did eat disagreed, I suffered
greatly from dizziness and sick head,-
ache and feared a nervous breakdown.
T1pon my druggist's recommendation
T used Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
"I felt better at once. Eyery day T
improved. In six weeks I was a well
woman, cured completely after differ-
ent physicians had failed to help me.
It is for this reason that I strongly
urge sufferers with stomach or d'ges-
Uive troubles to use Dr, Hamilton's
Pills."
Dr. Hamilton's Pills strengthen the
stomach, improve digestion, strength-
en the nerves and restore debilitated
systems to health. By cleansing the
blood of long-standing impurities, by
bringing the system to 'a high 'point
of vigor, they effectually chase away
weariness, depression and disease.
