temperamental nuisance
’ “Temperamental” is a good word f°r it generally describes those
: disagreeable people who al‘e one-half ternpex’ axid the other half mental,
‘ and who make their own selfishness an excuse for plain tantrums. Now,
at any rate, there is just no place for super-sensitive folks who go about
intruding their touchiness and obstructing the forward march of the
• general good. Everyone is contending with re-adjustments in the domestic
set-up, many are bearing loads of anxiety regarding thexi’ loved ones who
; are in danger, the whole pattern of life has to he re-cut, and so tempers

Almost all serious people, who ai’e
interested in maintaining Christian
standards of living, are deeply dis
turbed by the conditions universally
prevalent. Every small town and
perhaps the largei’ ones, have the
problem of churches of several de
nominations, all of them half-filled.
This is no place to discuss the rea
sons that this is so, but the fact
remains that the overhead entailed
in supporting so many different

The R.A.F. is dropping a new type
of bomb over the occupied countries

The hydro has something to say
about those lamps that have two or
three sockets. It says just use one,

hundred-watt lamp gives as much

less cost of current and fewer lamps

PRESERVING BLANKETS
A blanket that has worn thin
may be preserved to 'many more
years of service if strengthened in
the following manner. Of light
weight unbleached cotton (we used
sugar bags, well bleached) make
a lining that is slightly larger than
the blanket, about 5 inches on all
sides. Put this in a frame, lay on
the blanket, leaving the spare goods
to turn over the edges. Now quilt
fairly closely, hem down the extra
width to reinforce weak edges and
you have a nice warm coverlet. Of
course the blanket could be covered
on both sides but the extra weight is
not desirable.**

National War Labour Board
GENERAL ORDER
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics has found that
the cost of living index number for January 2,
1943, is 117.1 (adjusted index 116.2) as compared
with the cost of living index number for July 2,
1942, of 117.9 (adjusted index 117).
The Wartime Wages Control Order, P. C. 5963,
provides in Section 48 (iv):
“the amount of the bonus shall not be
changed unless the cost of living index
number has changed one whole point or
more since the last general order of the
Board requiring an increase or decrease in
the amount thereof.”
The index number not having changed by one
whole point or more since July 2, 1942, pursuant
to the provisions of P. C. 5963 as stated, the
National War Labour Board orders that the terms
of its General Order dated August 4, 1942, shall
continue to apply for the period February 15,
1943, to May 15, 1943, subject to the right of
employers or employees to apply to a War Labour
Board for authorization of payment of such an
amount of cost of living bonus as a Board may
determine to be “fair and reasonable,” under the
provisions of the Order.

is to be carried on successfully, new!
members are needed to take the

to higher service and of others who
are unable to carry on the work in
which they have been interested in
for so many years. She suggested
that a membership committee be
formed in each society, and that the
home helper secretary, and the wel
come and welfare secretary be added
to this committee. “Let us not sit
back,” said the speaker, “and say we
have done all we can. If we put first
things first, we can rely on God for
guidance, and there can never be
any more important woi-k. than

Bilious Attacks
Liver Complaint
Biliousness is .just another name
for a clogged or sluggish liver. It
is a very common complaint, but can
be quicldy remedied by stimulating
the flow of bile. This softens tlio
accumulated mass, the poisons are
carried out of the system, and the
liver and bowels are relieved and
toned up.
Milburn’s Laxa-Liver Pills quicken
and enliven the sluggish liver, open
ing up every channel, by causing a
free flow of bile and thus cleansing
the liver of the clogging impurities.
They are Small and easy to take.
Do not gripe, weaken or sicken.
