This is a rank injustice to the versitile and healthful lemon, which had uses that are almost unlimited. First of all a tenon bracer is a splendid regulatory drink. This consists of a glass of hot or cold water with the juice of a lemon and a quarter or half teaspoon of bak- ing soda (bicarbonate).

First Day At Your First Job Take Your Time And Don't Expect Too Much Mcstt people feel pretty small their first day at work, But a little forethought helps a lot. Make a new resolution before You set off, Don't cling limpet fashion to the people who befriend you, Because you are sure to be sorry afterwards iP you get too confidential right away. Dont plan always to have lunches with your first-day friend. Don't grnm'ble about the cloak- room or office, saying you're used to very different goings-on at home. Or if you are impressed, don't give away that you never expected any- thing so grand. Don't join office clubs till you've had a chance to Mud out if you'd enjoy therm, Don't go gay your first week.

Best way is to laugh them off. • FASHION • FLASHES Apparently scheduled for revival this spring is the young -looking "baby blouse" in batuste and sheer, I ncaae you've forgotten it—which isn't likely—it's the blouse with lit- tle round; Lace -edged collar, and Pin tucked yoke. Nas-v ';abandine trousers, or nar- row -tapered downhill styles, also natural, sight gray or white cotton -windbreaker and visored cap to Match one or the other, a bright flannel shirt or turtleneck sweated —that is the favorite of the skier at Sun Valley, Idaho, this season. A new feature is handbags made of rough straw brain., often inter - plaited to give spiky surface. Some of these, for resort wear, are like baskets with handles, but one of the smartest is a navvy town bag in plain rectangular shape with thick base and aheavy gold chain around it near the top, simulating drawstrings. Both, tulle and braid. are used in formal bags as well as a. small round cocktail model of black lac- quered satin ribbon worked to sug- gest petals. Several town bags for summer costumes are made of gros- grain, ribbon, one et them elabor- ately studded by large round motifs covered with the same grosgrain that makes the square basket weave bag. The town coat this season will be fitted, flared but generally In a modlfled way, •squares as to shoul- der, o2temest collarless and always distinguished by some kind of "softness," Another popular type of coat will be the little dressmaker navy town coat with fresh white touches. Fit- ted and basically slim as the sil- houette with kind of complicated (but always simple looking) detail, Bengaline is with us again. This is a heavy 'fabric, with "filled" crosswise ribs. Tt has body and a certain amount of stiffness to the hand, comparable to a tailoring cloth. The, size of the ribs, also called "wales," may vary from fire to coarse.

KNOW YOUR NEWSPAPER The Rural Municipal Clerks Rural municipalities are not par- ticularly renowned for the salarles that they pay their clerks, and yet many a municipal oounbil would be completely at sea and would en- counter multrlfarious 'difficulties and obstacles if it did not have a clerk upon whom to lean for guid- ance and advice. Moreover, the clerk who addresses himself ser- tously and conscientiously to the responsibilities of his o2fce can have comparatively Httle time to devote to his private affairs, be- cause those responsibilities have been vdslibly increased within recent years. There is a popular misoonceptien of the municipal clerk as an indi- vidival who takes minutes of council and committee meetings, attends to minor correspondence, and, these duties, completed, goes back to his home to s*11 at ease in. his armchair and draw his salary. But a clerk's orate is. not such a sinecure by any means. With. those who take their duties seriously, it is almost a full- time job for which naually only parttime pay is given, The clerk is expected to be thoroughly fam- iliar with municipal law, a working knowledge of which may only be acquired. by dint of study and long experience, •Since municipal coun- cillors rarely possess such know- ledge, he has to be at the deck and call of his councillors to keep them out of trouble. He must also be familiar with every nook and cranny of the municipality, which may be perhaps a hundh-ed square miles in extant, and know most of the people within, its borders. And he must be constantly accessible to those people when they want something done, The relief problems of recent years, coupled with the details in- volved in various pieces of social legislation that have come into force, have visibly added to the duties of arunicipal clerks. When a rural family finds itself in such need that relief is' reguired, it is to the clerk that he goes, and 1t is usually the clerk who is entrusted with the necessary investigaton of the creumrstantes of the apgrlhcanta, When It la an old age pension or a mother's allowance that la sought, it is again to the cleric that a•ppli. cation is often made, and he is the of0.cial who arranges papers and makes investigation.. There are, in addition, numerous repoltts that must be prepared, the work of other municipal officials that must be scrutinized, and countless details of adminsdtration that mtlat be ar- ranged. Of these the average rate- payer knows little or nothing, nor does he know how often• the clerk has to sit up at night that his work may kue completed. Township clerks write reams of corresrpondeauce;, travel hundreds of miles, sometimes work early and late, that their duties may he sat- isfactorily performed, Not always do they receive either pay or recognition in conformity with such work, and the people who some- times think the clerk has a "soft job which, ought to be handed around would find Sierra:Sites saiily mistaken 11 by any chance they should find themselves occupants of that ;' all rm. --Brockville Recorder and Times.

Atter two or three days at these temperatures, funs are exposed to 45 to 50 degrees F. temperatures, It was found that the duplication of this process two or three tames kill all moths, eggs and larvae.
