Rarely Diluted -• Unless ordered to do so, do not dilut° cough syrups' with water. les- ually.the-obiect of the syrup is to lubricate the sore parts and through its soothing qualities stop' the cough- ing.

Don't fail to plan your meals in advance so' that leftovers may serve as family lunches. Don't hesitate at the extra trouble a cheaper cut of meat entails to make it appetizing and tender. Keeps Them Better It is safer to pull off your gloves over the hand, not by tugging at the finger tips, This latter method breaks the stitches and spoils the shape of the gloves. Labeled It is wiso to write your name and ar'dress on each parcel you purchase if you are in town for an orgy of shopping, Then you stand a big chance of it being returned to you in case you ,carelessly leave it at a counter. • • , An Improvement et If your brick fireplace has become darkened with age and the white Ines are a dirty gray, try painting the white lines with a, black lacquer, tieing a small pointed brush. You will be delighted with the modern, e'ean-looking fireplace when, you are finished, . • The Neighbor's Child When in doubt as to whether- to give the neighbor's child a cookie or net, don't give it. Modern mothers me most particular about their ehul- dren eating between meals anti usu- ally the child will itefuse with long- ing in her eyes. Give her something to play with instead when she conies avisiting. Softened Butter A. gond way to soften the butter on these cold mornings is to rinse a Small basin in very hot water and invert it over the butter, Allow it to stand until the butter is soft enough for spreading. .

Bastin Don't knot the end of your thread when basting. Start by malting two stitches in the same place. This will hold the end„ of your thread suffic- iently and when you pull out your lbastings there will :be no :forgotten knot to make holes along the lines of basting, OCTOPUS .ADD VARIETY IN' CANADA'S TI SUING Perhaps few Canadian are aware of the fact but the octopus is atnong the fishes taken in the commercial fishery in the Pacific const waters of the :Dominion. Therels a wonder- ful variety, indeed, in Canada's fislt- eries resources. In 1928, to cite some recent figures, British Columbia fishermen landed over 55.000 pounds of the strange looking, eight armed octopus and in 1929 more than 28,- 000 pounds. The :fish fere eaten chiefly by Orientals in the prgviilce and bring between five' anti ten cents a pound on the market. No fishing for. octopus aloneis car- riedon but the fish are the inciden- tal product of other fishing opera- tions. For the most 'part, they 'ere taken in the net of. small ,draggers. Over 3,700 pounds yf cagier was produced in: Canada last yeer i;rom sturgeon roe. It's market value was 'dollar' a pound. THE CLINTON-NEWSRECORD LONDESBORO. Mrs, Elizabeth.

AT NEW }IIG}I LEVEL Output up to November 1st Well Be- yond Total for Full Record Year. 1920,—Satisfactory Runs of Sockeye- Gratifying Feature of Season, With a pack which will • probably total about 2,175,000 eases, the Bri- teat Cniunvbia production of canned salmon it 1930 is setting a new re- cord for. the province. Fig'usec covering production lip to November 1 show that 'slightly more than 2,139,000 eases lied been canes tied, or approximately 817,000 cases more than were put up- in the cor- responding period of 1929 and some 74,000 cases mote than the total out- put in 1920, the year, of previous re- cord pack. Reports for subsequent weeks should make the 1930 pack approximately 2,175,000 cases. Statements forwarded to the Do- minion Department of Fisheries by .its chief officer in British Columbia the Chief Supervisor •of Fisheries, Vancouver, show that the 'unprece- dented production this year has been mainly tear:cable to the remarkable abundance of pinks and the gratify- ing ratifying runs of. sockeyes. The endue - tion of canned pinks up. to Novem- ber 1, totalled nearly 1,091,000 cases, of almost 200,000 cases above the re - (lord., output .for the full year 1920. The sockeye, tans ' to all the, principal areas have been very satisfactouy this year, producing 463.867 'cases— the best' showing sine° 1915.

While all the sockeye areas have had satisfacte y runs, this condition was especially notowothry in the Ness, Skeene, arid Fraser areas, The runs were considerably large), than in 1925 and 19263 which ,play ` be considered the "brood" years.

The service fills a want in the lives of prairie dwellers who are far removed. from Library centers and'hundteds of letters Are received at the library of the provincial gov- ernment each year, testifying to the appreciation which the recipients of the libraries feel for the service: In 1915 there were eight libraries in circulation while December of this year finds 1383 in use, with 150 new applications oil the file. In the early days of -tlie' Northwest when settlements were isolated, dis- tances great and transportation dif- ficult, the need for readinganatter was.•very•great. Some -pioneer fame ilies brought with: them: a few. cher Jelled volumes and these were begged and borrowed, and passed' from ,hand. to hand, until nothing was. .left ex- cept tattered remnants. The long nights of winter, when the coyote howled through the frosty stillness, and tate boards of the buildings cracked like pistol shots,' were in- supportable without sontething to read and it is snail wonder that nffany a prairie wife felt her season trembling from the fearful monotony and loneliness of the situation. It is significant that one of the earliest activities of the National Council of Women, which was or- ganized in the early nineties by the Countess of Aberdeen, consisted of efforts to aid the people suffering front this condition. As the country settled the demand for library ser- vice became more insistent and in 1911 action was taken by the, provin- cial government of the province in respect to travelling libraries and a policy of book distribution was in- augurated No such service has been attempt- ed by any other province in the Do- minion except British Columbia. The work or the teavelling library is sugmented by the open shelf Library. The latter is a students reference library and specializes on social and economic questions, science and Phil- osophy, history, travel, biography,. arts, religion and kindred subjects.
