ee PRE ATE FRETTER Ordinarily you use at least one bar of 'laundry goap every week-~moré than fifty bars in a year. That's twice as many as you need, for Tay- ~tor's Borax Soap goes twice as far as any other soap. = X - 2 Please prove this for yourself--we invite the test. Try one bar of this soap with one bar/of any other. See which soap lasts the . longestedaminemhich-is thwcheapesi>= Js so We know what the result will be, for we have made this same test many times over-- . our poap lasts twice as long. Tghods Sip Don't, think that all soaps are alike--there is a won- derfisl difference in Taylor's Borax Soap. - Let us show you some of the ways ia which this soap differs from others. First we ise only the purest cocoanut oil from the Isle of Ceylon. Then we boil it doubly long and mix in the borax. While boiling we run thousands of gallons of clean water through the soap which carries away all impirities, We require twenty-one days'to make a single cakéy, The labor of more than 200 people is needed. We crush every bar under a weight of 30 tons to press out the moisture. We put every bar through an ageing process equal to standing six ° months in your pantry. So you don't have to age this soap. { When finished the bar is hard and firm, fo it wears much longer. The borax softens the water which also reduces the amoiint of soap by almost half that ordinarily required. i This pure soap is utterly harmless to the skin--it leaves the hands whiter and softer than ever before. If it is so harmless to the skin, then think how harmless it must keXo the clothes, This soap comes to you absolutely pure with thd creamy tint of the cocoanut oil, It lathers with the greatest abundance . and leaves the clothes as pure and white as the foamy suds itself. Try a'bar this day--it costs no more than common soaps but does more than any soap you have ever known. | which Have been at Banff, | will, now Be nefer 1 of buffaloes in Buffalo Park, Wain: | wright, .Alta., has | blo i | small group of twenty SHOE POLISH vair slioes +> \ minute bie-§ 9) Always the Makes care but the work of a fore yon ves itd go out. quickest and blackest. lLLeath food and waterpros It would cost 50% miore to build your barn today than 10 years ago.

Canada Has 'the Largest apd Only Considerable Herd in t World--The First Round Up Two Years Ago.* Canada has now the largest, indee@ the only considerable, herd of buf- faloes in the world, and the stirring and even dangerous work has accom- anied the assembling of that herd. | ixcept for about one hundred and w all been secufed , herd owned by Michael Pa- ontana. Pablo's 600 or 700 were the outgrowth of a purchased thir- ty years ago from "Walking Coyote," a Flathead Indian, returning from a zreat buffalo hunt in southern Alber- from t buffaloes | ta, so that Canada now secures her | own, with interest, on payment, of rouse, of a considerable sum in cash, i200 per head. Two years ago the first round-up of he Pablo herd commenced, the eap- ivéa Boing shipped to Elk Island 'ark, #t Lamont, Alberta. The ground ere wis unsuitable for a.large herd, nd the enclosure toa small, 'so the rovermment secured a new park of 07,000 acres at Wainwright, on the iraitd Trunk Pacific, 100 miles or so ast of Edmonton. To this point 340 yuftploes were removed from Lamant few weeks ago, now to be joined by ¢ fresh from the lgtest round-up. in ontand. Adventures and dangers, vith narrow -escapes from. death, jarked almost every day of the ound-up. The animals ran wild over country fifty miles in extent. Riders hased them to the valley of the Littl Jitter Root, then into a lame which id*to the Pend D'Qraille River. Tha thepeswam this and entered a large. oral, fgom which they were driven nto a smaller enclosure. When the ourding-up WAS finished, they were loaded into cages on wagons and haul- 'd 36 miles to Ravalli, a railway sta. tion on the Northern Pacific, apd hen entrained for Canada. Every now ind again a buffalo could stand he hounding ne longer, and turned mn his aggressors, resulting in snch in- sidents as the impaling of Johnny Decker"s horse, and the carrying of Jorge and rider on a buffalo's horn cross the corral. The Canadian Girl. In the first instance, we must ad- mit that the French-Canadian girl has remained quite aloof from her more fhodern sisters, and is in many respects like the Evangeline whom Longfellow deseribed, the dark-tress- 1 gentle Acadian whose love-story began in the far-off days when Grand- Pree had neithér bolts nor bars. La petite Canadienne is a conservative, in fact, who follows her great-grand- mothers' ways, -and. is akin to the She is, ih "THe Girl's Realm, wentle, industrious, and vivacious, .a levout daughter of -Mether Church, ind usually gives herself at a very wirly. age 16 a youth. who is as' fond is herself ofithe ways of their fore- 'athers. In Quebec and the provinces ong the Atlantic may be found nany a Marie, Josephine, or Jacque- ine, who.might have given the New England poet the model for his _ill- 'ated heroine. To he British world, however, the Canadian girl belongs to he English-speaking majority of the Jominjon, "and to her we are willing o give exhaustive attention. In con- ection with her qualities, it is al- nost impossible to avoid internation- i] comparisons, for the visitor from he United States finds points fot livergerdce, while - the English guest 4 likely to pronounce the Canadian ut] Very Amgrican.
