Why Is So Good
For Relieving Miseries of
Childrens Colds
More than two generations ago-in
grandmother's day--mothersfirst dis-
covered Vicks VapoRub. Today it is
the most widely used home-remedy for
relieving miseries of eh-ldren's colds.
Andhqreis the reason . .
The moment you rub VapoRub on
the throat, chest and back at bedtime
it starts to work two ways at once-
and keeps on working for hours-to
ease roughing spasms, help clear con-
gestion in cold-clogged upper breath-
ing passages, relieve soreness
-Or tightness. It promotes restful sleep.
Often most of themisety of the cold
is gone by morning! That's why
VapoRub is so good to use when colds
strike. Try its

The British bacon market is particular. Nothing but the best—and that means
Grade A carcasses—will have a ch'ance in the post-war purChasing period. Dan-, '
wish bacon will be making a powerful bid to regain its former preferred position
with British importers. We've got to convince the British housewife that Can-
adian farmers can turn, out a uniformly sized, uniformly fattened, and uni-
formly graded type of Wiltshire side!

Co. and Mr. Spencer addressed the
Club. Re stated that he was quite at
home as lie was well used to hearing
the Lions Roar in his travels, Many
service Clubs had been, visited with
their demonstration, , He said that bis
address might be entitled "The Tele-
phone is at War". communications
were vital in wartime, "The Charge
of the Light - Brigade" might never
have happened had the Modern com-
munication systems been available.
He traced the transmission of signals
back to the primitive times when
smoke was used, Explanations were
given of the manner in which tanks,
trucks etc" were able to communicate
with each ,other through numerous'
channels controlled' by small highly
finished crystals. Some war machines
had as high as 80 channels available
and each could carry an independent
message without interference from the
others. Radar and radio telephone
equipment were essential with the
modern bomber.
During the first 21 days of the In-
vasion in Italy over 25Q miles of wire
was laid every day. The demand for
equipment was continuous and increas-
ing. Signals equipment piOduced in
Canada before the war was valued at
$16,000,000. Last year this had grown
to over $200,000,000 in value. Equip-
ment was being Supplied to Britain,
Russia, China, Africa, Australia, New
Zealand and Some to the United States,
New equipment was devoted 100%-to
war effort, The Bell Telephone Com-
pany had to get along on what equip-
ment they had before the war. Much
equipment had been reconditioned but
now they were scraping the bottom of
the . barrel. The shortage will likely
continue after the war as it will take
some time to convert to peacetime
needs. He felt that the small electri-
cal appliances 'would be first available
such as vacuum 'cleaners, irons, etc,,
these only required to be plugged in,
The telephone was much more oomph-
cated and would need connection to an
exchange. He closed his address with
the statement 'The Telephone is at
War". Lion Wilf, on behalf of the,
Lions expressed appreciation of the
Club for the informative remarks made
byMr. Spencer and also the kindness
of the Bell Telephone Co. in making
this demonstration possible.

Canadian fanners have a big investment in the bacon industry. There is abso-

competition. Canadian farmers can and do produce hogs every bit as good as
the former Danish hogs—and they have the added advantage of plentiful, low- ,
cost feed to offset the disadvantages of long transportation.
Comirtitive hog production rnea.ns that maxirnmn use must he macle of every
