Thus they lose a lot of the milk that should be going into the can, at the end of the lane and making their milk cheques bigger. MILK IS GOOD.FEED FOR CALVES • but IT CAN BE REPLACED 160% BY. Shur-Gain Calf Starter Hello Homemakers! August and it's time to get rid -of those prevalent 'ests! Flies and mosquitoes in partic- ;liar combine to make life miserable for not only those on holidays, but al- so for those who toil and sweat at tome in the summer heat. Some of the informative pamphlets issued by well-known manufacturers ,of insecticides point out the safe use of their products. The base of these new :mixtures is a chemical with a long name we glibly call D.D.T, There is a D.D.T. bomb on the mar- ket now, a petroleum mixture in a con- tainer, which if put in a closed room for '7 seconds will kill the insects im- mediately. In powder form the D.D.T. insecti- cide is very effective too. However, it takes time to act and is generally combined with pyrethrum or some other vehicle. This mixture should be put in cracks behind cupboards and places where the cat or ()flier pets will not eat it. The manufacturer of a paint insect killer recommends the product for 2 or 8 months. You spray it on surfaces or brush it on painted walls and screens, These pest destroyers are not in- jurious to use. However, for the best effect do one room at a time, Cover any food, put the baby in another room, remove the house plants and the canary. Close 'the room for a minute after you've used the D.D.T. By the way, don't use the D.D.T, barn spray for the job in the house, It usually contains kerosene or an• oil and may leave spots on fabrics. Follow directions .on the labels. Use an insectitude and you will enjoy more leisdre hours having rid the house of pesky flies. cum has several, examples of corundum in its cases, among them. a ruby. Rubies come essentially 'from ,the Orie,ntal countries. The famous mines at Mogok in Upper Burma produce.the finest quality. Here rubies occur, in a granular limestone that formg the sides of the hills. These limestone outcrops,, erode in time through weathering, and quantities of rubies are washed down with deposits of clay attd gravel butt°, the adjacent river beds. A handful of pebbles from the river gravels shows all colours of the rainbow, because among them are to be found not only fragments of the many, coloured cor- undum gems, but also spinels ,and tourmalines. Generation after rgener- ation of natives have sorted these gray els„being rewarded with an occasional deep coloured ruby. The highest stan- dard • of colour is a triiepligeon blood quality which is ,a. shade of red with a. slight mixture of purple.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS. Q:-I bought an 11 quart basket . of Montmorency cherries for 33,20 in rtrof Norfolk Countyana 11,6 s fruit tems dwelse Pounds, Was I overcharged. A:—.From yotir letter it would appear you bought the Cherries from a pro- ducer whose ceiling price in Nor- folk is $3.36. No difference in max- irnu nt. prices is quoted for stemmed and destemmed fruit in our regula- tions, Q:—Can you tell me the maximum in- terest a pawnbroker is allowed to charge on a 30 day loan? A:—The Wartime Prices and Trade Board does not have a regulation governing thiS subject. Federal and Provincial pawnbrokers' laws do lim, • it. the ,interest rates. Q:—Does the Prices Board have any control over rents of a small prop-, erty in a township where time owner makes a living? Also 'does it control tourist home rates and housekeep- ing rooms for service men? A:—If the tenant of the small prop- erty in the township is a farmer and makes his hiving from the farm the Board has non control over the rent, If the .landlady of a tourist home-or housekeeping rooms furnishes..every- thing, that is the bedding and linen, and does the laundering of these, she can fix .her own rates.' If the tenant considers that the rates are too high he may apply for a reduc- tion to the' nearest office of the W. P.T.B. The rates must be corn-, parable to rates charged for similar accommodation in. the same neigh- borhood. Q:--I understood that priority certi- ficates for new• cars were cancelled..

Simple cold drinks like lemonade or orangeade are very much improved by the addition of a few fresh berries or berry juice. The juice of seasonal berries may be used to make cold, ap- pealing summer drinks, Cold drinks that are also nourishing may be pre- pared with milk and children who do not like milk alone may like 'it if it is disguised with another flavour.
