Dramatic demonstration of Frigidaire conveniences. ...Souvenirs to rail visitors Make it a point to pay us a visit during the next few days. For we are celebrating Frigidaire's fifteenth anniversary and have arranged a special program that you won't want to miss. An'iong other things we are giving a dramatic demonstration of the enduring qualities of Frigidaire porcelain. We are showing that it withstands heat, hard knocks and scratches --that even lemon juice cannot.. stain the acid -resisting • porcelain interior. And, in addition, we are showing how the Cold Control speeds freezing—how the Hydrator makes even wilted vegetables fresh—how the Quickube Ice Tray releases ice cubes with finger-tip pressure. There are souvenirs for all who attend, and a very special anniversary offer to those who purchase now—including terms of $1O down with the !Valance arranged to suit your convenience.

Listen for an Important Announcement .y WINGHAM UTILITIES COMMISSION Wingham Ontario Pastures are Important Studies in the cost of milk produc- tion carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Dominion Department of Agriculture at Nappan, N.S., show that the cost of producing milk dur- ing the summer months, June to Oc- tober, dropped from the seven year average of $L25 per cwt. to 52 cents w per cwt. this year, This strinking re- duction is attributed to low feed costs and increased volume of milk produc- ed.

J. COLE —GENERAL MERCHANT Belgra ve, Ontario mer feeding to maintain a maximum milk production is good pasturage. This can be best obtained through the proper use of fertilizers and the ex- ercise of care in grazing, keeping in mincl at all times the maintaining of a heavy growth of fine grasses and clover. Truck Exhibits Out The truck exhibits and exhibition trucks operated at many points throughout the Dominion by the Ex- perimental Farms Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture are proving both popular and effec- tive. This season will see a total of fifteen in operation. Just recently truck/ exhibits were completed and put in operation at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, Que., Charlottetown, P.E. I., and Lacombe, Alta. They are equipped with panel features, each devoted to an agricultural problem of special interest or concern in the ar- ea in which the truck operates, With some trucks tents are supplied and interesting exhibits pertaining, to all the branch of farming activity are in- cluded. • Expert Furrier at King's. Come and .see the new styles on Friday, August 28th King Bros. Witigham sassosiesta World, -Famous Diamonds From Golconda Region The only diamon4 known to the axz- eients came from the Golconda inine$ of India and the nearby mountains, The Great 'Mogul and the Koh-i-noor, oldest of all known diamonds, and the scarcely less famous Orloff gem, each With a history reeking with roanariee, Were found in this region. The Koh-1-noor, also known as "The Mountain' of Light," is said to have been discovered 4,000 or 5,000 years ago, says Gas Logic, It was kept safe at Delhi until the Persian invasion of India in 1739, when the, Persian con- queror craftily gained possession of it by exchanging his turban for that of the dethroned Indian ruler, in whose headgear the diamond was concealed. IFinaily, after passing from ruler to 'ruler, the Koh-i-noor was presented to Queen Victoria in 1849, and it is now in the British royal treasury at Wind- sor castle. The Great Mogul diamond, of 240 'carats, figured in some of India's worst revolutions, hut disappeared from sight when the Persians conquered India two centuries ago. The greatest of all diamonds is the Cul]inan, now officially called "Star of Africa." Weighing 3,025%, carats, It was found in South Africa in 1905. Of the' more than hundred stones cut from it, the largest, 5163 carats, is in the British scepter, while the second largest, 309, is in the British crown. Light Year Illustrates Immensity of Creation Concerning the dateless history of 'creation, I need to invoke but one illustration. Astronomy, by its mar- velous optics, is now able to descry in the depths of space material sys- tems whose rays require at least a million light years to reach our earth. What is a light year? Remember, a ray of light moves at the amazing rate of 186,300 miles in every second of time.. Now, multiply the seconds into minutes and days until you reach a full year of seconds, then you have a light year. Then think, if you can, that it has taken a million of such years for the light of some discovered systems to reach our earth. But still the real fact to remember is that the light in which we see these far -distant worlds is itself a million years old. We do not see these realms as they are today, but as ‘they were a million years ago. And yet this is but a mere fraction of an hour in those infinitely far-flung ages which might take ns back to the beginnings of creation.— George Preston Maine. I Early Salt Tax The following excerpt is taken from the "Travels of Marco Polo": "We shall now speak of the revenue which the grand khan draws from the city of Kin -sat and the places within its jurisdiction, constituting the ninth di- vision or kingdom of Manji In the first place, upon salt, the most produc- tive article, he levies a yearly duty of 80 tomans of gold, each toman being 80,000 saggi and each saggio fully equal to a gold florin, and consequntiy amount to 6,400,000 ducats. This vast , produce is occasioned by the vicinity 1 of the province to the sea and the I number of salt lakes or marshes, in which, during the heat of summer, the 1 water becomes crystalized, and from whence a quantity of salt is taken, sufficient for the supply of five of the other divisions of the province." Custards Long Popular "The cream of all pies is the cus- tard pie, known to history and litera- ture since the days when Shakespeare `taught us how to tame a shrew in 2594," writes Frank H. Vizetelly, dic- tionary editor. "Quaking tarts and quivering custards were favorite dishes Under William and Mary. Unlidded Custard pies, filled with eggs and milk, were known as egg pies when the prince of Orange was invited with its good spouse Mary to cross over to gland and govern the country, and they brought along with them their custards and jellies, together with the :dictum that man is ruled through his stomach. Custard puddings did not come in until 'a century later when Iitrs. Raffald told the English house- keeper how to make them boiled in .7611.' —Detroit News. Petroleum Lofts Known Use of petroleum dates back to the beginning of history. It is one of the oldest natural products used by man. It was as a curative for man's illness that petroleum principally appears in legend and early history. I The people of ancient Japan and China, Judea and Persia used pe•, troleum in a primitiveway centuries before the Christian era, Noah's ark was caulked with a form of petroleum gathered from the shores of the Dead sea. Job told of a rock which "poured me out rivers of oil." Nehemiah is supposed to have used oil for altar fires—he called the substance "Nop- thar," from which the present word "naphtha" was derived. --Detroit News. With the Passing Years The tinned States public health service says that the shrinkage of tis- sue which accompanies old age is probably the result of several facto%, among which may be mentioned inad- equate, nutrition of cells, diminished internal reeretions, such as secretions fro% the pituitary and adrenal glands, The rens of the tissue probably die oft from leek of proper metabolism of an the vital activity of the body in the in - tete et food, discharge eI :waste pro. *to, 11tH ar If baby ha.
