the
Ninety-nine Years
Their Average Age
Six members of the family of
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mitchell, of
Iiierksdarp, South Africa, in the
last two gel-eratior-s have lived to
the average age of ninety-nine
years, their combined ages totalling
594 years. Two of them, both wo-
men, were centenarians. This is
claimed to be a world record for
longevity in one family.
Mitchell's grandmother, M r s.
Charles France, ot,Brucefield, lived
to be 107 yeaia old, and his grand-
• father on his mother's side died
when ninety-six years old. His
other grandfather, Sanies Mitchell,
lab contivzetor, was active when
ninety-eight years old and was
killed by the collapse of a scaffold.

How To Prevent
Moulds In Food
Mould growth in foods is not
usually dangerous. In many cases
the formation of mould In food in-
creases its palatability. For ex-
ample, some kinds of cheese, such
as Roquefort, Limburger, Brie and
Camembert, are eatenonly after
extensive mould growth has taken
place. The characteristic flavour
and snleil of these cheeses are due
to the substances formed by the
particular species of mould.*
What are moulds? They are
groups of tiny plants so small that
the individual structures, can be
aeon only with the aid of a micro-
scope. They develop from spores
which are similar• to tile seeds of
the higher plants. The .pore is the
reproductive element of one of the
lower organisms or plants.
Different Types
The commoner moulds go by the
names of Mucor, Penicillium or As-
perglllus. The white or slightly
woolly patches seen on the surface
of meat in cold storage is due to
a, mould or fungus known as the
Sporotrichum carate.
The spores or seeds of moulds
are hard to kill; they eau with-
stand unfavourable conditions for
clays and when given favourable
conditions suchas food, a temper-
ature neither too hot nor too cold,
moisture and in some cases oxy-
gen, will live for a long time.,

1940 Honey Crop
Well Below Usual
Estimates Show 21.6% Drop
From 1939 - 42% Less Pro-
duced in Ontario
The first estimate of the 1940
Canadian honey crop shows' a to-
tal production of 22,638,100 • ib.
This is 21.6 per cent less than
the 1989 crop of 28,873,100
pounds, and 23 per cent below
the average production of the
previous five years. Although
production was curtailed by un-
favourable weather conditions,
the crop on the whole is of fair
quality. A large- proportion of
the crop has already been mark-
eted at prices averaging 2 to 3
cents higher than for the crop
of 1939, and prospects are that
the entire supply well be disposed
of before the 1941 crop comes bon
the market,
PRICES AVERAGE HIGHER
Production was lower in On-
tario and Quebec and the Prairie
Provinces which are the chief
producing areas. The Ontario
crop, which comprises 42 per cent
of the total Canadian production,
is estimated at 9,5 million pounds
and is 2 million pounds, or 17
per cent, lower than the 1939
crop which was 11.5 million
pounds. The sharpest decline in
production was in Quebec where
production was only half that of
the previous year. The Manito-
ba crop was 80 per cent smaller
than the 1939 crop. On the other
hand there were increases in Brit-
ish Columbia and in the Mari-
time Provinces of approximately
26 per cent compared with the
production of the previous year.
Wealthy British
Buy Diamonds
Riches Locked Up In Gems
For the Duration
Mucic of Britain's wealth lies
idle in underground vaults when
it should bo invested he war sav-
ings, according to one of London's
foremost diamond merchants.
The anxiety of many wealthy
people to lock up their riches for
the duration has resulted In a dia-
mond boom, such as has never
been, experienced before at 13'atton
Garden, mecca of this internation-
al "currency." Since the Govern-
ment banned the exportation of
big jewelry, diamonds have been
in great demand by those who want
to salt away their wealth.
LIDS IN UNDERGROUND

In the vaults of one Louden sate
deposit company, which was bomb-

many millions of dollars had been
lodged, The vaults and safes hous-
ing this vast fortuue Were found
intact after the debris and wreck-
age had been cleared away.
Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. Isn't is bad manners to let
one's mind wander while some-
one is talking to you?
2. When a customer -in a shop
is buying' something, that is not
being worn the current season,.
shouldn't the saleswoman tell
her?
3. When giving a breakfast,.
for some friends, may it be serv-
ed in courses?
4. Shouldn't one be very care-
ful about joking, when in a
crowd?
5. .How should a member of
the Protestant clergy be address-
ed, if he does not bear a doctor's
degree?
6. Is it all right to answer a
formal invitation by telephone?
Answers
1. 'Yes. One should strive to
be a good listener, though it is
often difficult when the speaker
is an egotist, or describing in de-
tail his last operation. 2, It is
better not, unless the customer'
asks the direct question. 8. Yes.
4. Yes, unless you are well ac-
quainted with those present. La
Bruyere says, "Never risk a joke,
even the least offensive in its na-
ture, and the most common, with
a person who is not well-bred,
and possessed of sense to compre-
hend it," 5. Address him as Mn
Douglas. 6. No; a written reply
should be sent. p -
Force Must Back
Post -War League
Agrees Ottawa Branch of
League of Nations Society in
Canada
Any league, union or associa-
tion of nations which may bo
created after the war must have
the backing of force, it was
agreed at a recent meeting of
Ottawa Branch of the League of
Nations Society in Canada.
PUBLIC OPINION NOT ENOUGH
"There has been a swing away
from the idea that enlightened
public, opinion is sufficient as an
international sanction," said J.
M. McQueen, one of the speak-
ers, Mrs. Alexander Ferguson
said that "We will have to accept
the idea that public opinion is
not enough."
Senatoa Raoul Dandurand,
Government leader in the Sen-
ate, sent a message -to the meet-
ing expressing hope that any
draft manifesto prepared by the
society would be circulated to
the general membership before
final adoption.
"I would 'like very much to
study it because of its paramount
importanee," he said.

1 How Can :I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY'
Q. How can I prevent apples
from wrinkling while baking in
the oven?
A. Slit the skin in three or
four places with a :knife before
baking.
Q. How can I treat a dish
that is cracked, but not entirely
broken?
A, Boil the dish for about 45
minutes in enough sweet milk
to cover it. Any cracks will glue
together and become invisible.
The dish will stand almost as
much ordinary usage as when
new.
Q. How can I impart a bril-
liant polish to articles of cut
glass?
A. Add a little turpentine to
the water when cleaning then.
Use about one tablespoon to two
quarts of water.
Q. How can I keep rugs from
curling at' the corners?'
A. Sew a ,square of card-
board to each corner of therug,
and this will keep .it -from -curl-
ing. Painting the corners un-
derneath will also hold then
down flat against the floor.
Q. How can I remove a glass
stopper from a bottle, without
breaking it, when every method
seems unavailing?
A. Pour a little glycerine
around the neck of the stopper
and let it stand until it lifts out
easily. This may require a half
hour or sometimes a day or two.
World's Coldest Place
Soviet scientists have just dis-
covered that the coldest spot in
the world is neither the North nor
South Pole. That unenviable dis-
tinction, they, claim,: belongs to
01-Mekon, in Siberia. It is said
that water thrown from a buck-
et out of a first -floor window
freezes before reaching the
ground. But the inhabitants
don't mind at all; in fact they
complain of the "fustiness" in
Moscow!
At the other extreme is Death
Valley, California, wherethe
temperature of 134 degress Fa-
hrenheit was recently recorded.
This terrific heat is caused by the
valley being surrounded by rocks,
which hold the heat as the sun
beats down, and radiate it, mak-
ing Death Valley the most unin-
viting spot in the world. There
is no vegetation in the valley,
and no one has ever been known
to live there.
An acre of ground can, it is
estimated, provide sufficient veg-
etables for forty people.
• HAVE
fYOU HEARD?
A commercial traveller at a
small hotel ordered two boiled
eggs for breakfast..
The waiter who served him
brought three.
"Here," said the traveller, "why
have you brought me three eggs?
I only ordered two."
"Yes, sir," said the waiter,
smiling. "I know you ordered
two but I brought three because
I felt one of them might fail you."
"The best way to fight a
woman is with your hat."
"How?"
"Grab it and run."
A Spanish journalist at Burgos
submits an article to the censor.
One passage in particular worries
the official.
"I will refer it to my super -
fors," he says.
And he telephones:
"Hullo? Rome?"
A voice answers him:

"Oh, darling, look what's.

cake!" cried the young lady,
who Was learning to cook.
"Never mind, dear," said
her husband; "it may not be
a complete failure. Let's

Scotland provides another good
story; Little Jean one day turn-
ed to her another, who was a
widow.
"Mother," she said, " do you
really and truly love me?"
"Of course child," was the an-
swer, "Why do you ask?"
"And will you prove it to me?"
"Yes, if I can."
"Well, then, go and marry the
5man round the corner who has

Bring Skates, Too
With no restrictions ou American
citizens travelling' to and within
Canada and with favorable rates
of exchange, one of the beat sports
seasons in years is now under way,
Mr. Froward said,
"Some of the continent's finest
skiing territories radiate'fro,n Jas-
per village, Alberta," stated Mr.
Howard, "where -Cep to Eve' months
of the year powder snow condi-
tions, so desirable or good skiing,
may be relied upon." .Take the
Maligne Lake territory, for in-
stance, he said. On arrival at Jas-
per station in the early afternoon,.
skierstravel by motor car to Medi -
tine Lake, transfer to snowmobile
for a short trip across the lake,
then by team and 'sleight to Maligue
Lake chalet and be there in time
for evening dinner. "There is al-
ways plenty of snow 'in this high
country, kept fresh by periodic
falls of light powder snow" he stat-
ed, "and a competent sk1-lnstruc-
for is in residence at Maligue Lake
chalet."
Skiers should include in their
equipment a palled skates, as Mal-
igne Lake is also sthe ideal wiuter
setting for skating, stated Mr. How-
ard. "Skiers at the chalet may

by indulging in this enjoyable
sport for an hour or so in the even-

Correct Size Of
Furnace Is Vital
If Unit Too Small Home
Heating Costs Move Upward
Why does a furnace that is too
small for the house it's in con-
sume more fuel than one of pro-
per size?
Heating engineers say it is
literally true that an inadequate
furnace will burn more coal titan
a larger one that will do a better
heating job. The inadequate
furnace also is more liable to re-
quire repairs.
WASTE HEAT UP CHIMNEY
The small furnace must "work"
harder trying to heat the home.
As a result the firepot and grates
burn out sooner and nsust be re-
placed, -
When a furnace is kept too hot
the castings tend to burn out and
the metal slowly changes to iron
cinder. After that it will no trans-
mit heat as rapidly as one with
"live" metal, That means shovel-
ing in more and more coal and
getting less heat.
Each square inch of heating
surface gives off just so much
heat. If there aren't enough
square inches, nob enough heat
can be radiated to heat the home.
The waste heat just goes up. the
chimney.
