WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All Insurmount
able if They Are Properly
Approached.
The main clifflcul.y in making a va
lance is to keep it in place without
putting tacks into the furniture or
having it on narrow strips that pull
out from under the mattress. One
woman has hit upon a plan of having
heavy unbleached sheeting cut just
the size of the bed, or a little within
the line of the sides. The sheeting is
shrunk before being used. The va
lance is sewed to it on each side and
across the end.
The cover is then spread over the
springs and under the mattress,
which holds it firmly in place. If the
valance is of thin material, that needs
frequent washing, it is a good idea to
put it into a narrow band, provided
with buttonholes at intervals close
enough to prevent sagging. Buttons
are sewed to the sheeting in places to
correspond.

To Clean Felt Hats.
First, all the trimming is removed
and the felt given a thorough brush
ing. From a hardware dealer pur
chase, for a few cents, a sheet of the
finest sandpaper made. Out into
piece around a convenient-sized block
of wood, begin sandpapering the hat,
being careful always to rub in the
direction of the nap. Continue this
process, using a new piece of sand
paper when necessary, until the felt
begins to 'ake on a new and clean
appearance When the felt becomes
clean the nap is slightly dampened
end the felt pressed with a moder
ately hot iron.
The Newest Tea "csies.
Quite the newest tea cosies are
fascinating creations heavily em
broidered in an open pattern to show
off a silk lining of a gay color. That
the cosey may fit over any sized tea
pot, even the most capacious, it has
end pieces let in.and these are of
plain s*\en, unadorned like the rest,
go tliar here the colored lining does
not show through. The seams of the
cosey are covered by a handsome
white cord, artistically knotted here

DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY
Pretty Things That Will Properly Set
Forth the Apartments of the
Little Folks.
So many charming things are made
for the nursery nowadays that it is
a delight for young mothers to set out
to furnish the apartment devoted to
the little folks.
Sets of basin and pitcher in neat
enameled stands are decorated with
Kate Greenaway figures.
Bassinets like large market baskets
having stout handles and lined with
silk and lace, are very convenient with
silk and lace, and very convenient
when moving the wee baby from room
to room.
A ftand of enameled wicker has
four trays for holding baby's clothes.
It is very compact when shut, but
when required these may all be open
ed at. the same time by pushing out
different ways.
Small clothes-trees of white painted
wood are copies in miniature of what
the grown-ups use.
A basket, with compartments to
hold six small bowls, is handy when
dressing the infant. The porcelain
bowls are marked safety pins, sponge,
soap, nipples, etc.
Some Uses for Matting.
Straw matting may be put to many
uses besides the conventional one of
covering floors.
Table covers may be made of the
fine, closely woven .Japanese matting,
hemmed at each end.
As a fnifli to the lower part of a
wall matting which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is
a change from the more usual cover
ing.
Sc-ttee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with fine, pliable kind
of matting, to match the strii on the
porch floor.
Window shades and awning to keep
the sun off, which are tied back or
rolled up when not in use, are also
practical made of matting.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top, which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
porch beam.
Bordered Foulards.
There is nothing smarter and few
things more handsome than the new
bordered foulards brought in for
fpring. Many of the most attractive
pieces have borders that take up
more than twenty inches of the forty
five or forty-six-inch width of the silk.
These wide borders usua..y have a
band of solid color four or five inches
wide at the edge of the piece. The
rest of the border may be of Per
sian design in lovely green, blue,
rose, lavender, gray or other color
scheme to harmonize with the ground
of the rest of the silk.
Empire Waist Line.
The straight, narrow lines not over
accentuated and the shortened waist
line are very pretty in the one-piece
trotting frocks of linen, silk, etc.,
which are being made for southern
wear, though the empire waist line
must always be handled very care
fully in connection with a street
frock if it is not to give the frock an
air suitable to the boudoir rather
than the street.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1911.
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA,
THE GREATEST WHEAT
MARKET ON THE CON
TINENT
REMARKABLE 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 bushels, 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,
have been splendid. A few of the
Instances are given:
Near Redvers, Sask., Jens Hortness
threshed about 50 acres of wheat, av
eraging 29 bushels to the acre. Near
Eiphmstone, Sask., many of the crops
of oats would run to nearly 100 bush
els to the acre. A Mr. Muir had about
200 acres of this grain and he esti
mates the yield at about 60 bushels
per acre. Wheat went 35 bushels to
the acre on the farm of Mr. A. Loucks,

,o the acre ran, on the average, from
J6 right up to 40 bushels per acre,
while oats in some cases yielded a

and the wheat averaged about 40
bushels. Spohn Bros., four miles
southwest of Strome, had a splendid
grain yield of excellent quality wheat,
grading No. 2. A. S. McCulloch, one
mile northwest of Strome, had some
wheat that went 40 bushels to the
acre. J. Blaser, a few miles south
west of Strome, threshed 553 bushels

Education vs. Instinct.
Jacob Wendell Jr., who plays the
part, of the dog In Maeterlinck's dra
ma, was dining in a restaurant recent
ly when a inan, recognizing him as the
actor, approached and said:
"Pardon me, but you take the part
of the dog in 'The Blu£ Bird,' do you
not? Of course, you don't know It,
but I can really bark lots more like
a dog than you."
"Well, you see," answered Wendell,
"I had to learn."—Success Magazine.

BLOOD HUMORS
It is important that you should now rid your
blood of those impure, poisonous, effete matters
that have accumulated in It during the winter.
The secret of the unequaled and really wonderful success of
Hood's Sarsaparilla
as a remedy for Blood Humors is the fact that it combines, not simply
sarsaparilla, but the utmost remedial values of more than twenty ingre
dients —Roots, Barks and Herbs —known to have extraordinary efficacy
in purifying the blood and building up the whole system.
There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla, no "just as good"
medicine. Get Hood's today, in liquid form or tablets called Sarsatabs.
