CONSERVE TEA
AND COFFEE
Try Different Drink at
Meeting
Neither coffee nor tea were serv-
ed, as
erv-ed,'as is the usual custom, at the
quarterly meeting of the local Ladies
Aid, but an excellent beverage was
used, and the guests commented
upon its delicious flavor. The presi-
dent explained that the ban on tea
and coffee was fn deference to the
request of the Government. Express;
ing satisfaction at the success of the
experiment, the chairman said
Postum,—the beverage used,—bad
taken less sugar than would have
been used for tea and coffee. It had
cost less than either tea or coffee and
so was a saving to the treasury, as
well as a saving on tea, coffee, sugar.
Whethet it's a meeting of
a society or a meal in your
own home, Postutn provides
the easy way to conserve tea
and coffee. Grand, hearten-
ing flavor—economical—SO
easy to make.

haps Prepare For
Attack On Siberia
Russia Ready, Says Harrl'
son Forman in, New York
Times •
It ie generally admitted that
current expectations of a probably
imminent Japanese Megaton . of
Siberia may .arise in good mea -
euro from wishful thinking in the
hope it would make available ur-
gently needed air bases for the
'United Nations in Siberia. On the
other hand, the Japanese, who
leave long looked upon Russia as
the hereditary enemy which must
some day be decisively dealt with,
realize even more keenly today
that all their recent expensively
purchased Peelflc conquests will
be wholly nullified so ' long as
Japan proper remains vulnerable
to a short range, determined at
tack from the Siberian mainland.
The first stage of the Japanese
Plan for hegemony, the "Greater
East Asia Co -prosperity Sphere,"
may be aid to be already complet-
ed, namely, the conquest of Brit.
let and American territorial and
commercial outposts such . aa
Shanghai, Hong Kong, the Philip.
pines, Malaya and Burma.
This leaves four principal the .
atres remaining for Dai Nippon's
next concerted action, namely,
India, Australia, China and Siber-
la. The monsoon semen which al-
ready
lready has started in India must
discourage action there, at least
for MIs next several months.
« * •
As for Australia, it would ap-
pear that the Coral Sea defeat hes
' delayed Japanese invasion plans
there for time enough to enable
sufficient American aid to reach
the Antipodes to make invasdnu is
that direction extremely hazard-
ous.
For a while it was believed that
China had been selected for an
all-out military drive, but with tits
Yunnan push petering out at the
Salween river and the current
Chekiang -Mengel action revealing
itself as designed at most to clear
the rail route from Japan via
Korea, Manchuria, China, Indo-
China, Thailand and Malaya to
Singapore, this leaves only Siber-
ia where the next large scale
military aggression could be con-
templated.
But the Soviet will not be caught
napping. Parental squabbles with
the Japanese long ago necessitated
a decision to prepare for the in- '
evitable showdown in Siberia.
From the Russian -Japanese war of
19.04 the Russians learned bitter
lessons of the difficulties encoun-
tered by the supply services of au
army in the field operating 5,000
miles from European bases.
Even though the TraneSiborian

ANSWERS
1. No: Allow your partner to
play the balls that come to him,.
even if he is less skillful. It is
exceedingly rude and' poor sports-
manship to cut in front of him
to piny balls that are directed at
him,
2, Yes, always.
3. At the upper lefthand sides
of the plates.
4, Smile and bow to them if'
she catches their eye, but allow
them to make any further ad-
vances.
5. "Mr, , Johnson, this is my
husband."
6, This does' not necessitate': the

October Ploughing
Match Postponed
General Manager J. J. Carroll
of the Ontario Plowmen's Associ-
ation, announced following a
meeting of the executive last
week, that the International
Plowing Match, scheduled for Oc-
tober 18-16 in Huron County, had
'been cancelled. The decislon to
postpone, the match was made in -'
an effort to co-operate with the
Dominion government in the col-
servation- of tires, .gasoline and.
man hours.
it will be the second binge in
29 years that the international
match has been postponed. In
1918, the match was postponed
on a week's notice because of
an influenza epidemic. T he
matches started in. 1913 with 32
entries and a few hundred spec-
tate= andgrew steadily until the
record match near St. Phomas in
1940 when there were more than
900 entries and an estimated at-
tenclance of 175,000.
"Fortunately the Association
Inas 80 brandies andthe board
has recommended to the officers
that they organize their own
matches this fall, lie so much de-
pends •on them," said Mr, Carroll.

28th Anniversary
Of First World War
An anniversary passed without
notice in warring Europe on July
28. It was the Austrian declara-
tion o3 war on Serbia 28 years
ago.
Austria, dissatisfied with am-
ends Serbia was willing to make
for the assassination of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo,
took the first belligerent step in
a conflict whcih became the First
Great War and which ultimately
resulted in the dismemberment
of the Austro-Hungarian mon-
archy.
The Archduke, heir to Franz
Josef's throne, and his wife were
slain by Gavrilo Princip on June
28, 1914, on a street in Sarajevo,
where Franz Ferdinand was mak-
ing a state visit.
On July 23, 1914, Austria pre-
sented an ultimatum listing sweep-
ing demands. She insisted on a
purge of all elements in Serbia
hostile to the Hapsburg monarchy,
and demanded that Austrian offi.
cars be allowed to conduct the
purge.
Serbia made far-reaching con-
cessions, but they were inadequate
to Austria, and war was declared
July 28, 1914, a month after the
assassination.
In the meantime, the Japanese
have been paralleling the Siberian
development with intensive, top -
speed preparation of Manchukuo
as an invasion -base, Manchukuo
possesses the most elaborate net
work of railways in all Asia, rail-
ways wholly unwarranted from
the economic standpoint.
The offensive intention of these
cominunications may , be noted
from the fanshaped character of
the railways, arrowloag like spread
fingers of the hand toward the
Soviet border.
To counter this threat, the Rus-
sians, recognizing the difflouity of
garrisoning and patrolling the en-
tire length of the 3,000 -mile border
between Manchukuo and Soviet
Russia have decided to concen- •
trate on a chain of Strongly fortt-
fled defence posts. Subterranean
airdromes are scattered about, es
pecially in the seaboard "appen-
dix" of Siberia, extending back
from Viadivostock as well as Kam-
chatka, Sakhalin and neighborhood
islands, all within easy flying dis-
tance from Alaska,
On Komandorski—meaning Com-
mander—islands in the Bering Sea
off Kamchatka there is a well-
developed sebinariue .-base. Oppo-
site Sakhalin on the mainland,
Nikolaesyslc and Soviet Harbor are
being developed seaports, with rail
,service planned to connect them
'with the Tines -Siberian eastern.

What Science
Is Doing
SPONGE IRON
A strange wartime substitutd
was in the making last week—a
substitute for scrap iron and
steel. Itis called sponge iron,
and the U.S. Bureau of Mines
has decided to risk $500,000 in
hurry -up development of the
hitherto unpractical process by
which it is made.
To make sponge iron, ore is not
smelted. It is mixed with. pul-
verized coal (natural gas can also
be used) and coke, then fed to a
large rotary kiln. When the kiln
is heated to 1,800 degrees F.,
the powdered coal first robs the
ore (iron oxide) of its oxygen, .
then turns into gas, leaving fairly
pure iron granules which have a
spongy texture. This stuff can
then be 'fed to the steel furnaces.
Steelmakers watch the project
with contending doubts and hopes.
If sponge iron can be made, it
will head off a decline in steel
production caused by the ominous
shrinkage of U.S. scrap iron re-
sources. It may also cut the cost
of steel by as much as ifs a ton.
In the last 90 years, the steel
industry has spent millions in
futile efforts to snake sponge iron.
Catch in the process is selection
of an ore which can yield high-
grade sponge. Plants in Sweden
and Finland are now turning it
out profitably.
Until this summer, scrap: iron
and steel have always been abund-
ant, so steelmakers have relied
on them for, 40 to 60 percent of
the charge in their furnaces. But
now the U.S. needs scrap and
needs ib badly because there are
not enough; (1) open-hearth fur -
nacos to produce steel at the
slower rate required when higher
percentages of pig iron are Used,
(2) blast furnaces, to make pig
for the steel. The furnace handi-
cap will be overcome if the sponge
iron process can be perfected,
since sponge iron plants can be
built mole quickly and cheaply
than new blast furnaces, and are
cheaper to operate.—Time,
Pte. folies had been in the
Army a week when the sergeant
• "What What tie you think of the

"I. , may hire it alter e while,"

Have You Heard?
Wife: "1 wonder if 1'Il ever
live to be a hundred.'
Hubby: "Not if you remain
forty much longer, dear.".
"But I thought—" began the
typist meekly,
"It's not your business to
think," snapped the manager.
"Just you take down what I say,
word for word, and keep your
own ideas to yourself."
So that afternoon the following
letter was brought for him to
sign: "Dear Mr. Browne, Write
it with an 'o'. Pure swank -hie
father was a gardener. With re-
gard to your letter of, whatever
date it was, I can quote you the
following prices. Hi 1 Thompson!
It's that outsider Browne. How

Johnny: 1 dont know. I

Ile had . just been made the
happiest 'man alive and went into

Re picked up a nice looking
diamond ring.
"What's the price' of this one?"
he asked.
"'khat one is one hundred guin-
eas, sir," replied the jeweler
;.gently.
=The young man looked startled
and then he whistled.
He pointed to another ring:
"And this one?"
"That, sir," said the jeweler,
more gently, "is two whistles."
Medical Officer: "Colne,
come, man — you wouldn't
come to me with, a complaint
like that in civilian life."
Recruit: "No, doctor—I'd
send for you."
The new Land Girl was doing
her best, but she was evidently
finding everything on the farm
very strange. '
Having had an incubator ex-
plained to her, and been asked if
she fully understood it, she put
her head on one side and, with a
puzzled look, replied:
"Yes -but where does the lien
sit?"•

HOW CAN l?
Q. How can I make a lotion to
prevent sunburn?
A. By mixing two ounces of
water and ten drops of glycerine;
add a little perfume and dab this
on the skin with a • soft cloth;
leave on five minutes; then wipe
off very gently.
Q. How can I keep watercress
fresh and crisp for several days?

washing and picking, it is drained
and put into a heavy bag in the
refrigerator. Keep the bag in the
moderately cold section.
Q. How can I destroy chiggers
on the lawn and bushes??
A. By the liberal use of sul-
phur, ,applied with a dust gun.
On lawns, of course, the chiggers
will disappear if the grass is
kept cut.
Q. How can I prevent dirt from
getting under the edges of the
fingernails while gardening, or
doing other dirty work?
A. Rub the ends of the fingers �
over some candle wax, taking care
to get it well under the nails.
When the work is completed ansl
the hands washed, the ,nails will
be as clean as ever.
Q. How can I prevent perspir-
ation stains on a hat band?
A. Fold a strip of cellophane
and place it under the inside hat
band. This will prevent perspir-
ation and oil from staining the
outside ribbon or band.
