Q. How can I soften and clean
leather?
A. Apply a mixture of one
part vinegar to two parts linseed
oil.
Q. How can I bleach white.
clothes?
A. Try this idea. Save all your
egg shells for a week, and on
washday put them into a salt bag
and place in the boiler, with the
white clothes. The lime contained
in the shells acts as a splendid
bleach, and the clothes will be
snowy white.
Q. How can I restore pearl
buttons to their original bright
Bess?
A. First rub the buttons with
a little olive oil to take away the
blurred appearance. Then sprinkle
with nail powder and rub well
with chamois skin.
Q. How can I clean •baking
dishes and pans?'
A. Soak the dishes and pans
in hot water to which washing
soda has been added. Use one
tablespoon of soda for each quart
of water required to fill the ar-
tiele.
Q. How can I pull threads
from linen nlnch more easily?
A. Before attempting to pull
the threads from Iinen, run a
damp cloth along the line where
the thread is to be pulled. It will
pull out much more easily while
the cloth is damp.
Maly Ways
Of Helping
The Porcupine Advance'recently
devoted a leading article to an in-
cident revealing at once a nice
touch' -of kindness and indicating
how every one may do something
toward helping war work, A local
doctor .picked up five hitchhiking
soldiers, Sensing that they were
hungry, he stopped at a Chinese
restaurant and invited the men to
eat. And how they ate!
While` heaping on more food, the
doctor made a mental calculation
of the cost. At least 75 cents a-
piece. But the Chinese attendant
had been sizing up tht. situation;
also calculating; and his charge
was 16 cents each for filling the
hungry niers. The ensuing dialogue
carries a moral:
"Fifty cents each?" asked the
doctor. "That is more than reas-
onable. It's generous!"
"Not 50 cents each! Just 15 cents
each!" replied the Chinese.
"But 15 Dents would not begin
to meet the cost of meals like
that," the doctor commented.
The Chinese's final reply as he
insisted that the pries was only 15
cents was this:
"The soldiers do their bit, You
do your bit. I do my bit,"
Here were seven teen --.five sol-
diers, a doctor and a restaurant
keeper -each in his own way
"doing his bit." Incidentally, there
is revealed also an example of the
hospitality of the North Country,—

Australia Doubles
Her War Program
Prime Minister Arthur Fadden
has announced that Australia's
1941-42 war' program will be
double that of last year. He, said,
however, an increased' `budget
would not affect Australia's fin-
ances a great deal because sub
'stantial lease -lend assistance is
expected from the United States.
In the second last war budget
a half -cent postage tax was 'im-
posed on each article and tele-
phone rentals and call rates were
increased. Pay for the armed
forces was, also increased by 16
cents' a day -782 cants in some
cases.
He said the new budget will
allow for essential war equipment
not produced in Australia and
that despite aid from the United
States, the total war expenditure
is expected to be 'about "
$
651
, -
00 >000 compared with -$510-
000,000 last year.
Of the estimated $651000,000
expenditure, $480,000,000 will be
spent on Australia's own war
program and $171,000,000 for
overseas expenditure.
Air Training Plan
Will Be Doubled
Air Minister Power disclosed
recently that the British Com-
monwealth Air Training. Plan will
be extended' until the number of
schools and airdromes already
constructed is almost doubled.
He said that:
1. An exclusively French-
Canadian squadron will be estab-
lished overseas under a French-
Canadian- leader as soon as
enough French-speaking person-
nel are obtained.
2. Aviation offers young (nen
an "almost unlimited field of ae-
tivity" and after the war aviation
will make "undreamed-of strides
in our country."
3. Quebec will be called upon
to play a "highly important part"
in organization of air transport
of the future; alreadythe prov-
ince is the terminal of trans-At-
lantic flights,
„.4. The few unfinished schools
previously planned for the air
training plan will be opened with-
in the next three: weeks,

Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE •
1. If you are introduced 'to
a person for the second time and
he or'she doesn't seem to remem-
ber the introduction, what should
you say?
2. What phrase shonld be '
used if one does not wish to use
R.S.V.P.?
3. Is it correct to serve a
wedding "breakfast" if the cere-
mony takes place at three o'clock
in the afternoon?
' 4. Is it bad form to applaud
loudly in a theatre?
5. Where should the candles
be placed on the buffet supper
table?
6. Should a hostess always
extend her hand to a man,; when
being introduced to him?
Answers
1. Don't embarrass the per-
son by saying, "Why, I met you
at such and such a place."aMere-
ly say, "Row do you do?" Nor
should you feel hurt or slighted
and accuse the person of being
a snob. It might just be forget-
fulness, something of which we
inc.all guilty at one time or an-
other. 2. If one prefers to use
English words, write "The favor
of a reply is requested." 3. Yes;
if the ceremony takes place be-
fore four o'clock the 1;efresh-
ments are spoken of as a "wed-
ding breakfast." This is an Eng-
lish term used for any daytime
wedding feast, 4. Yes. Ap-
plause that is protracted or too
loud is in very bad taste. And
if you happen to be the only one
applauding, it is time to stop. 5.
This depends upon whether single
candlesticks or candelabra are
used. An attractive decoration
is to place a single candlestick
at each of the fourcorners of the
centrepiece of flower. 6. Yes;
it shows friendliness and cordi-
ality,

Dominion Government Makes
Available Northwest Passage
By Air To Alaska
The "Northwest Passage By Air"
along which will travel military
and civilian aircraft of all sizes,
speed and power, has been made
available by the Dominion Govern,
ment in a season of hard work.
A flying journey of more than
2,000 guiles in British Columbia,
the Yukon and Alberta showed that
the chain of airports built in the
northland to Alaska now is ready
for use, although not completed,
Radio range stations have beeu

Airmen will be able to travel into
the Far North assisted by services
as complete as those on long.estab-

runwaysare already being used by
large machines, both Canadian and
American.
The fields were, built by the
Transport Department under ar-
rangement with National Defence
Departments Which had consulted
with 'Gaited States authorities.

At present, the only inconven-

THE "SULFA". FAMILY "
RAT CURB
Keeping ruts away from stored
grain with a "eltunlcy" smell that
makes them afraid, is the feat
accomplished by two chemists,
Leonard A. Ford of the lVIinne-
sota State Teachers' College and
Donald F. Clause,' of the Hub-
bard Milling :Company, says Tho
Toronto Telegram.
The two chemists were con-
fronted with the problem' of
keeping rats away :from stored
grain in sacks. They ,knew that
rats fear skunks and ferrets and
' will leave the premises these
predatory animals inhabit.
They knew also the chemical
basis of the strong, musky odor
of these two, animals. It is 'a '
compound ' called n-bbtyl mereap-
tan. So they tried it out, first
on the food of caged white rats.
The rats refused the food, be-
came restless and excited, and
even fought each other. They
would not toiich the food until
the odor had disappeared.
Then a search was made for a
substance which would hold the
odor for the longest possible
time. Best out of a'considerable
List proved tobe honey, which
retained the scent up to six
months, well in excess of the
time usually spent in storage by
grain and commercial feedstuffs.
The only rats with noses so
tough that they were not consist-
ently repelled by the n -butyl
mercaptan were those on a city
dump. The experininters conjec-
ture that these animals had be-
come so used to the mercaptans
produced by the natural fermen-
tation of garbage that the s'n-
thetic scent had relatively little
effect on them.

Value of Dollar
In Good Old irays
"Canadian Grocer" of October
12, 1.891, listed what a dol!Itr
would buy at that time says The
Financial Post. • The purpose of
the article was to indicate the
far corners of the world from
which the delicacies of the table
were drawn but at this distance
the quantities are even more in-
teresting.
For It dollar the shopper got
four pounds of beef, some bones
of the breast of mutton, a pound
and a half of fish, half a pound
of bacon, half a pound of butter,
four pounds of flour, a pound of
sugar, 20 pounds of vegetables,
some grapes, some oranges, tea,
coffee; salt, pepper and spice.
In all, the dollar bought 86
pounds of food, enough for one
week's 21 meals,
Today it costs approximately
$2 per person per week for food
in Canada in families with in-
comes up to $1,800. Today's
food probably has nruoh higher uu
tr!tion value,

Columbia salmon packers state.
Distribution of stocks in Can-

YOU HEAR
A Scotsman bought two tickets
for a golden ballot, in which the
first and only prize was a five -
hundred -pound car. When the -
draw was made the Scot won the
ear. •
His friends rushed to his house
to congratulate him. Theyfound
him with a long face and evident-
ly dissatisfied.
"Why, what's the matter?"
they inquired.
"Well, answered the new own-
er of the car, "it's that second
ticket that's troubling me. Why
I ever bought it. I can't think."
The wife of tl small farm-
er sold her surplus butter to
a grocer in a nearby town.
On one occasion the grocer
said, "Your butter was un-
derweight last week."
"Now, fancy that," said
Mrs. Farmer. "Baby mislaid
my weight that day, so I used
the pound of sugar you sold
me."
"Is this the speedometer?"
asked the pretty girl, tapping the
glass with her finger.
"Yes, dear," he replied.
"And that's the clutch?"
"That's the clutch, dauling,"
he said, jamming on his brakes
to avoid a fast -approaching lorry.
"But what on earth is this?"
she inquired, at the sante time
giving the accelerator a vigorous
push with her foot...
"This, dear," he said, in a soft,
celestial voice, "is ?leaven." And
plaiting up a ?tarp he flew away.
The Irishman was relating
his adventures in the jungle.
"Ammunition, food and
whisky had run out," he said,
"and we were parched with
thirst,"
"But wasn't there any
water?"
"Sure, but it was no time
to be thinking of cleanli-
ness."
A keen angler took a friend
for a day's sport. The friend
knew nothing of fishing, but de-
cide!] to try his luck.
After a long silence by the
banks of the stream, the novice
said: "1 say, how much do those
red things cost?"
"You mean the floats? 011,
they're cheap, Why?"
.I owe you for one. Mine's
just sunk."
"Do you have fits of giddi-
ness?" a doctor asked n
middle - aged, stern - looking
woman. "No, I don't," came
the snappy retort. "I'm a re-
spectable married woman."
Men of merrie England, as
long ago as 1190, curled their
hair and went hatless so that
their coiffures might be seen and
admired.
