Readers ask: "Can this blemish be permanently removed?" The best method is, it is generally recognized, electrolysis treatments, which must; however, be carried out by competent. and expert operators tb be really e- lective and harmless, And even, elec- trolysis does not ensure non.recur- ranee of the trouble .`on other parts. Thereis, too, a special wax which as simple to use and which helps to retard the growt),i. It is a slower pro- cess but has the merit of privacy as it can be used in the home: Many correspondents ask if perox- ide curtails growth. It does not. It is simply a bleaching agent. If you have merely aaslight growth on the face,. a bleach is probably all you require, so try this one: Mix three table- spoons of peroxide with six drops of ammonia. If'your skin is very tender, add another tablespoon of peroxide, Apply with a clean piece of absorb- ent cotton and allow to dry on the face. Many women believe that soap's and cheams cause superfluous hair. Really good creams and soaps will never cause hair to grow, but you don be quite free from worry on this srore by always washing with gentle palnxolive sodp, and by using delight- Cul,Ttu'ee-Purpose rream.

Heaven's Artillery "Like a flash of lightning)" is a common descriptive phrase, but it is doubtful whether many of us fully realize what we are saying when we use it. Scientists, who have successfully, analyzed the flash of lightning with high-speecl cameras and other appar- atus, reveal that it is a much more complex phenomenon, than was once thought. The lightning flash begins with a short, luminous "dart." This dart travels ab 5,000 miles per second, ionizing the- air, and thus making it electrically conductive for the main flash, Immediately the dart reaches the earth, the main lightning flash, traveling at an average speed of 28,500 miles per second, soars up- ward along the path made by the dart, This main flash resembles a soaring flame and often casts out branches as it ascends, All this electrical activity is measured in thousandths of a sec- ond; The unaided human eye is able to register its stages only as one continual flash. The unleashing of the terrific en- ergy contained in a lightning flash causes some amazing things to hap- pen to objects and being unfortun- ate enough to be struck. It sometimes 'acts like a thief, . A man drinking from a mug suddenly had it snatched from his hand by a flash of lightning which then depos- ited the mug, undamaged, in a near- by courtyard. A hymn book was torn out of the hands of a choirboy and destroyed. The needles were 'stolen" out of the hands of two ladies who were sitting quietly knitting. An even more surprising trick THE SEAFORTH NEWS was played by lightning on a girl who was sitting at her, sewing mach- ine with a pair of scissors in her hand. There was a brilliant hash of light, the scissors were spirited away and the girl found herself sitting on the sewing machine( But lightning is not always so gentle. One man with a fine beard had It taken clean off, roots and all, so that it never grew again, Men have received a direct stroke from lightning and have been cleft in two as though by a gigantic axe. Some- times when a body is Struck it is completely dried up so that, although appearing to be intact, when touched it falls to pieces, The enormous power of lightning can be gauged from its .. effects. It once .struck a mast weighing a third of a ton. In an instant the mast was shivered into tiny fragments, and the debris covered the deck of the ship like rubbish from a carpenter's shop. Another wooden ship was literally cut in two and sank in three minutes. When a church belfry was hit, lightning tossed a lump of stone weighing one hundred and fifty pounds on to the roof of a building. nearly 200 feet away. Hard stone is pulverized to powder, and glass win- dows vanish 'instantaneously when lightning is on the rampage. The sudden and intense heating which occurs along the path of the lightning discharge results in some strange effects. When trees are sturck the almost instant volatiliza- tion of their sap causes it to explode like dynamite and shatter the tree. Pictures hanging on walls, some- times crash to the ground because lightning melts the nails holding the frames together. Gold chains have been evaporated while being worn around people's necks, and once a flash of lightning fused a watch and chain into a single lump in a man's pocket. Yet with all its destructiveness, lightning sometimes plays the Good Samariton. It once struck a field of potatoes and cooked them all to a turn, Ithas brought birds out of the sky and deposited them half -cooked at thb doors of grateful peasants. Lightning once knocked a man un- conscious, but when he woke up he was cured of the rheumatism from which lie had sufgered for years. And the whole earth is indebted to light- ning for'lnany millions of tons of fertilizers which it manufactures from the atmosphere, and causes to be deposited over much of the earths surface each year. The chief danger from lightning is fire. It is the sixth mot frequent cause of fire and is responsible for nearly half of all forest fires, But the individual chance of being struck. are about 0210 in a quarter of a mil- lion, and the chances of being fatal- ly hit are one in a million, Household Storage of Fruit and Vegetables The art of making hte products of the garden go further than ever be- fore is an important item in Canada's war effort. Although the farmer end the professional market gardener are experts in the storage of fruits and vegetables, the urban and the sub- urban householder with a garden or other vegetable plot does not as a rule possess the, requisite knowkledge or facilities for the proper storage of. the fruits of his labor. With com- paratively little trouble, however, and the application of a few simple prin- ciples of storage, much can.be done towards the successful hoidinf of fruits and vegetables produced in the garden. In order to give information on the subject, and, incidentally how to adapt the basement in the house- holder's dwelling or other building for storage, the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture has issued a publication on "The Construction and Operation of a Home Storage for Fruits and Vegetables" (publication No. 743) prepared by W. R. Phillips, Division of Horticulture. w THIS NEWSPAPER (1 YEAR) and THREE GREAT MAGAZINES FNor soth Newspaper $2.5U Newspaper and Magazines GROUP "A" -Select One (] Better Homes & Gardens 1 Yr C] True Story Magazine 1 Yr i] Photoplay-Movie Mirror 1 Yr [] Woman's Home Comp 1 Yr (] Sports Afield i Yr [] Magazine Digest 6 Mos.
