and am .not able to, go out. J am
suffering 'much. I have a grown-up
daughter. I 'don't imagine that you

Tie square milk bottle, saving from 20 to 50 per cent. in refrigerator
storage space, will be introduced into Canada when certain faults
have been removed. A spokesman for The Borden Company Ltd.
recently stated that chief "bug" blocking its use in Canada was
inability of square sboaulders to withstand pressure when milk
freezes, but that his company was working on changes to eliminate
this fault. The square bottle is now in use in sections of United
States where 'env temperatures are not a problem. Here Holly-
wood starlet Dusty ,Anderson demonstrates the compact feature
of the square bottle.
