YOUR ALARM CLOCK
By C. S. Enders
Clocks and watches are so common
hat one seldom stops to consider their
eal value, and how much they actual
-
y do mean to us. If all the faithful.
imepieces in Canada were anddenlyto
ease running, the result can bo bet•
er imagined than described. And if
t were not for the thousands of alarm -
locks which "tick" faithfully all the
ight and then ring merrily to warn
s that time for slumber is at an end,
ell- there'd likely be many setas•
rophee in the business world first
°ruing!
It is sometimes advantageous to
ave a number of alarm -clocks about
he house. One of them makes an ex-
ilent timekeeper for the kitchen, and
he alarm feature can be used to tell
hen to start the meals, or call out
he time whenthe bread or cake should
e taken out of the oven. Another in
the bathroom enables the man of the
once to figure train -time to the min-
te, while he is shaving, and he'll most
kelt' be on time for breakfast, too!
Alarm -clocks may be used to advent -
e in the library, the'living-room or
the ,garage; one installed in each of
e various buildings, .such as the
airy, tool -house or barn, enables the
usy farmer to tell the time without
topping to consult his watch. On the
business -man's desk it has a Place,
bile in the factory it may be used to

f the uses for your alarm -clock. As
ou discover others, peculiar to your
eeds, the clock will become more and
ore serviceable to you.
My, How We Abuse Them!
Alarm -clocks suffer abuse from the
average owner, and this abuse often
gists them to the limit. Perhaps it Is
°cause of their usual faithfulness
at they are so badly neglected. But
hatever the cause, it is certain that
e life of an alarm -clock may be-great-
prolonged
e-great
prolonged by proper treatment.
For instance, changes in tempera -
re are very injuriouv to the reechan-
m. Your clock is in a warm room
11 day. At night you wind and set it,
en open the windows. You can hard -
expect your clock to adjust itself to
any kind of weather—zero-cold or the
damp night air --and ring exactly on
the dot the next morning. And yet,
hese are the conditions under which
ost alarm -clocks must serve, and of -
en they stand up better under the
train than higher -priced clocks. Bear-
ing in mind these facts may make ns
bit more tolerant when our faithful
farm -clocks vary a few minutes in
me...
Probably you've never thought of
your alarm -clock in just this way be -
ore. It's a pretty useful member of
he household, isn't it? And so inex-
ensive, tool So much so, in fact, that
any people consider It a sort of

Flies multiply as they have oppor-

Therefore it Is important to prevent
breeding places such as manure piles
and to starve them by covering food
and garbage. Absolute cleanliness
and the removal or destruction of any-
thing in whleb4iios may breed or feed
are essential.

to starve them than to swat this dan-
