This is the year when it is smart to' look shabby, smart not to entertain lavishly, when it is smart to walk and not drive your car. The people who maintain their usual standard of Iiving are not patriotic. Many people have more money to spend now than they have had for many years. This is the time they may be tempted to purchase things which they will soon discover are just white elephants and of little use in their households. Although it is fun to spend money, war is a grim business and now is the time to save, not spend. There will be enough goody in Canada to go around only if people do not buy extravagantly but are careful in their purchases. Now is the time to save money for war savings' stamps, certifi- cates and bonds. Save money to win the war and when it is won and the industries again begin manufacturing for civilians -spend those savings and keep the wheels of business turning. Solve This One John Byrne, itinerant black- smith, confronted tire rationing officials with this complaint: Without tires he can't travel about to .shoe horses. Without sleet he horses can't replace auios. Without horses some army work will be held up. State of- ficials passed the buck to Wash- ington. as Modern Etiquette 1.

Have You Heard A reformer was watching a trench being dug by modern ma- chine methods. He said to the su- perintendent: "This machine has taken jobs from scores of men. Why don't you scrap that machine and put one hundred men in that ditch with shovels?" The superintendent promptly retorted: "Oh, better still, why not put a thousand men in there with teaspoon!" First Irishman: "Which would yez rather be in, Pat - an explo:ion or a collis- ion?" Second ditto: "In a collis- ion, because in a collision there yez are, but in an ex- plosion where are yez?" ' The discovery that a married couple in his flock were liable to quarrel upset the vicar. So he decided to speak seriously to the husband. "You know, my dear friend, that you and your wife should be as one," "As a matter of fact," replied the other sadly, "we are as ten." "How's that?" "Well, she's the one and I'm the naught." A. story just back from Europe is that Hitler, Goer- ing and Goebbels were out in a boat. It capsized. Question: "Who was sav- ed? Answer: Germany. A small boy returned home from school and told his father he was now second in his class. The top place was held by a girl. "But surely, John," said the father, "you're not going to be beaten by a mere girl?" "Well, you see, father," ex- plained Jahn, "girls are not near- ly so mere as they used to be." Young and inexperienced father (looking at triplets the nurse had just brought out)t "We'll take the one in the middle." Seeing an advertisement for a young woman to do light house- work, a city girl applied for the job. "I think the sea air will do MO good," she wrote, adding, "Will you please say in youir reply where the lighthouse le?" Professor: "What in the most potent poison?" Student: "An airplane, one drop and you're dead!" A Sense of Humor Saves A. Situation Stanton, secretary of war hi Lineoln's cabinet, told the story of the President's need for laugh- ter in the grim days of the Civil War, says The Toronto Telegram. On September 2, 1362, Stanton had received a peremptory call to a cabinet meeting at the White House. There he found Lin coin reading a book by Artemus Ward, a "very funny" chapter of which he read aloud. Having finished, Lincoln laughed heartily -alone. Undismayed, he went on with an- other chapter, and then asked: "Gentlemen, why don't :Cir laugh? With the fearful strain that is upon me night and day, if I didn't laugh I would die, and you need the medicine as much as T do." Then Lincoln, announcing that he had "made up his mind this paper was to issue," read to his colleagues the emancipation pro ciamation.

Made in Canada. What Science Is .Doing WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING ,,.. PAIN KILLED How some 200 surgeons throughout the United States etre successfully performing a pain- eonquering operation is described in The Reader's Digest for Janu- ary. Working like linemen on a far- flung telephone network, surgeons now operate on the nervous sys- tem itself -daring, delicate, mir- aculously effective surgery - to check the pain of incurable dis- ease or block the effects of hid- den ills that cannot be treated at their source. Every pain impulse, wherever it originates, must travel up the main spinal trunkline to the brain. When the pain cannot be elimin- ated at the source, the neuro- surgeon offers this recourse: in- terrupt the pathway of pain. A small incision is made at the point just before the nerves of the pain- ful part enter the spinal column. The patient is deprived of noth- ing but his sense of pain and temperature in that portion of his body. His tactile sense, or feeling,. is left whole. -0- ABOUT DOGS That old fable that dogs pant because they cannot sweat has been "shattered" by discovery of sweat glands in their skins, says the editor of The Lancet, British medical journal. J. G. Speed, an Edinburgh re- ttearcher, has found sweat glands In the skin of the lips, head, back, thorax, shoulders, thighs and pads of the feet, a finding previously reported by numerous other inves- tigators but apparently not gen- erally known. Nevertheless, the dog does pant, comments The Lancet edi- tor, adding that it would be in- teresting to know how effective the skin sweating is and whether all breeds of dogs are equipped with sweat glands in their akin. Absence of visible moisture on the akin may be due to efficient evaporation while the probability of water vapor enmeshed ht the hairs suggests the reverse, The Lancet editor states. Toujour Lamour Helen of Troy had nothing on Dorothy Lamour. Helen may have had the "face that launched a thousand ships," but Dorothy's ,got that one topped. What were t3 thousand Greek galleys corn- ed to a modern bomber? When tr othy went to the Glenn L. Martin aircraft plant to aid the Gale of defence bonds, officials kept her outside the gates. They said that any time a good-looking woman walks through the plant, it costs them 1,000 man-hours of labor. If Dorothy swished through the place, they said, it might cost them half a bomber. How about it Helen -can you see all right from way back there? � ti P�P�t' "IT TASTE GOOD _ SEM-'flGHt ?TIN $5 1/2-1.13."`{,,,©K-T0p Pocket Ti also tracked In ROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO H O W CAN 1?

The best plan is to baste the collars closely on a piece of white cloth. Then wash in sudsy water. This will prevent their stretching and tearing. Allow to dry, 'then rip from the cloth, and press with a warm iron. ritain Sets Record For Seed Producti©n Great Britain'` extensive ,sugar beet war crop has been harvested this year entirely from seed grown at home says the St. Thomas Times -Journal. Before the war, almost half of the coun- try's sugar beet seed came from abroad; the war has so developed home production that Britain will continue to support herself in sugar beet when peace returns. This year, with fewer workers and remarkably bad weather, she is producing a larger acreage of all kinds of vegetable seeds than The new improved Buckley Formula is all medication -no syrup- acts !aster on coughs and cold`-ylvea you note lee your money. But in was if: the sensing .. 41.2 ever before. The demand for them, when every householder ig "digging," where he can, "for vie. tory," is without precedent. The most popular seed is onion, with carrot, beet and parsnip fol- lowing closely. Moreover, the need for shipping space has ca::`ed a great increase in the save of seeds for animal feeding stuffs like mangolds, turnips, swedes and kale. Scientists and Government dee partments have co-operated with the farmers and distributors in setting up this year's record for British seed production. Told that it would take three months to get parts to repair his watch, a Londoner gave the watch teafriend in the Atlantic Ferry Serowe and got it back running perfectly in three weeks. The friend had it repaired in America. and flew it back on his next trip. SAFES Protect your BOOB` and front FIRE and THIEVES. We have a size and type of Safe, or Cabinet, for any purpose.
