SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
With the approach ofwarmer wea-
ther, that bane of many women; sup
erfluous hair, will become an incrsas-
ing problem, for warni weather in-
CI•eases its growth, even withsome
women not. normally subject to it.
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-

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.
