It was a minor accident, a man went through a red

“Your Honor, I was listening1 to Information Please
on the car radio and after a lot of difficult questions they
asked the four experts to suddenly close their eyes and tell
what color of necktie they were wearing.
“Franklin P. Adams and John Kiernan and the others
closed their eyes and they couldn’t remember what tie they
had on.
“I was playing along1 with them trying to answer the

LIQUOR, FIREWATER,
GUNPOWDER
Liquor, (“firewater”) and gun
powder were closely linked in
pioneer days in Ontario. We
speak today of alcohol being a
certain percent “proof”. Before
there were official standards men
wanted to be sure that their
liquoi’ had not been diluted. They
disliked paying for water. So they
would wet gunpowder with the
liquor and if it would light and
burn, the liquor was “proof”. To
day, by law, proof spirits, or 100
per cent proof, contain one-lialf
their volume of alcohol. This
property of burnjng gave rise to
the hame “firewater”’. This liquid
that burns and that is used as a
fuel to run motor cars sure
ly is a dangerous drug to put in a
beverage. It inevitably ontets the
blood stream and eventually gets
to the brain,—-Advt.

Any poultry operator wants to produce eggs at the lowest
possible cost. This means having a good type of bird and using
good management methods.
It also means feeding a good ration because the cost of feed
represents a large part of the costs of- egg production. That
is why many poultry operators are swinging to SHUR-GAINT
Super Laying Mash for their flocks this season. Since this new
type ration is a “high efficiency” feed it takes less to produce
a dozen eggs than on ordinary laying ration.
Drop in soon and ask about SHUR-GAIN Super Laying Mash
for your flock.
