New Upholstery Canda Cloth Combines Suede - Like Smoothness With the Utmost in Utility The old adage about beauty Ve- in ing only skin deep is completely disproved by the advent of canda cloth — a new, revolutionary up- holstery fabric developed this year VA already marked for wide adop- non by car owners. It appears that canda cloth re- conciles two diverse viewpoints, namely: the strong desire for the beauty and smoothness in uphol- stery and the equally strong desire for ruggedness and long life. Now these two preferences find a com- mon ground, for• the introduction of cauda cloth makes available not only beauty and silken smoothness but enduring service as well. Wash With .Soap and Water The new Ganda, cloth combines all the beauty and durability of the ,fine mohair velvet with the best features of other types of uphol- stery. The result of intensive re- search and study of car owners' re- quirements, this revolutionary fab- ric has a smooth, suede -like sur- face whichis as handsome in ap- pearance as it is soft and comfort- able to ride upon. It can be kept hest. indefinitely, for it can actual- ly be washed with soap and water, and its durability will provide years of service equal to that of the finest velvet, It is probable that cauda cloth has a fine future ahead of it, Car owners have long wished for such a fabric -- a fabric, moreover., that is inherently distinctive, yet rug- ged as any upholstery material so far available.

UNKNOWINGLY HAVE T. E. Tuberculosis is much more prev- alent than generally supposed. A great many have the disease and have no knowledge of the fact. This was revealed in an extensive series of medical examinations made on the students in the Uni- versity of Chicago. It was found that I3/a per cent. of the students unknowingly had the disease and it was advanced to the point at which a clinical determination of its presence could be made. MEASURES BREATH OF LEAF An apparatus has been invented in distant East Africa for measur- ing under natural conditions the rate of breathing of a single leaf. The apparatus, "an important contribution in the investigation of plant physiology," does its work by measuring continuously and au- tomatically the differences in wat- er content between two different streams of air. PAINLESS DENTISTRY A new drug has banished pain from the dentist's chair. To -day, every major dental oper- ation, can be performed, without the least pain to the patient. The drug which makes short work of pain has this chemical name: para -amine, mono-isobutyl benzoate hydrochloride. Beefsteak Can't .Abolish Shiner Government scientists last week aimed a knockout punch at the idea that a piece of raw beefsteak is a fine remedy for a black eye. If you're unlucky enough to ac- quire a "shiner" and some one provides beefsteak, the scientists said the thing to do is to eat the beefsteak—and apply a cold coin- press t,0+ your eye. How Can 1 ? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.—How can I prepare a rem- edy for excessive perspiration? - A. --Bathe the parts daily and then apply a lotion consisting of two teaspoonfuls of, powdered al- um to one pint of water. Follow by dusting with a powder made of one ounce boric acid and ten p''insof salicylic acid. ow can 1 refreshen wilted vegetables? A,—Add a slice of lemon to a pan of water and soak the vege- tables in it for about a half hour. This is particularly effective for spinach, lettuce, and parsley. Q.—How can I •make use of a soapy dish water? A.—It is claimed that soapy dish water thrown on the rose bushes will make them thrive.. Q.—How can I prepare a good roast meat sandwich? A.—Use the following: Diced cold roast meat, 2 tablespoons pea -y nut butter, ` 3 cup finely ground' . raw carrots, salad ,dressing, salt, and lettuce. Whip the peanut but- ter with salad dressing until creamy, then add to the salted car- rots and meat. Q.—How can I treat sunburn if I have no lotions or salve? A.—Spread butter lavishly over the burned parts and it will prove an effective first aid. FARM PROBLEMS (Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, assisted by other members of the faculty of the O.A.C.) Q.—Would you please tell me if bad silage that you throw out of the silo odd tinges through the win- ter months, it bad for your ground to spread as manure, and also if you could use it to mulch grapes or peaches when you have quit working them for the season to- wards the end of July without it doing any harm? A.—There is no reason why de- cayed silage should not be used as manure. It will supply a good quantity of Organic Matter, and the temporary Acidity which it may have carried while in the silo will be quickly corrected when it is exposed to the air. It should be satisfactory as a mulch for Grapes and Peaches when you have ceased to cultivate them. "H. H.—Lin- coln Co," Q.—Could you please give me any information regarding sowing Salt on root -ground? I am put- ting Turnips on Sweet Clover pas- ture land. This land is high and bad for drying on it. S have it covered with manure. How much Salt should I sow per acre? Would it be alright to sow fertilizer along with the Salt? I will finish the field with Barley. How would it do to mix Salt with the fertilizer • for the Barley? A.—In answer I wish to -say that , there is no argument for the sow- ing of Salt since Salt does not sup- ply any element of plantfood. The only thing it does is to liberate a small amount of Potash from the soil. The same amount of honey invested in Potash Salt such as Mu= riate of Potash will give much lar- ger returns since the Potash car- ried by the Salt is used directly by the crop. Issue Nos 36 — 9 SCOUTING Boy Scouts, Wolf Cubs, Girl Guides and Brownies of St. Cath- arines, Merritton, Thorold, Port Dalhousie and Niagara -on -the- Lake, combined for a Scouts' and Guides' Own church service at Montebello Park, St. Catharines. Led by the Salvation Army band and colour parties. bearing many hags, the youthful procession made an impressive spectacle on the way to the park. The service was con- ducted throughout by Scout and Guide leaders, the chief address being given by District Scout Com- missioner Il. G, Morrow. A demonstration of methods of rescuing unconscious persons from a burning house was put on by each patrol of the Stratford Bap- tist Scout Troop, to mark the pre- sentation of the Scout Fireman's Proficiency Badge to Troop Lead- er Sylvester. "The Boy Scouts showed in that work what an effective body for service to the community the Boy Scout Movement is." The com- ment was that of Fire Chief Lanlpman of Welland, Ont., upon the work of a bucket brigade of Scouts of the "Stop 19" Troop in attacking a fire in a cottage dwell- ing. The efforts of the Scout fire fighters confined the fiaines to the dwelling until the arrival of fire- men and apparatus from Welland. A Scout Group charter has been. issued by Quebec Provincial Head- quarters to the province's farthest - north unit, 600 miles from Mont- real on the eastern shore of James Bay. The new Scout Troop and Cub Pack are made up of Indian boys attending St. Phillip's Angli- can Mission School at Port George. A demonstration of bandaging for fractures, the carrying of un- conscious persons and other first- aid work was given by a team of four Boy Scouts at a meeting of the Womens' Institute of St. Mary's, Ont. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1 1.—What is the correct way to give a tip? 2.—May a fork handle rest on the table, with the prongs on the edge of the plate, when not in use? 3.—What is the correct saluta tion when a;woman telephones an- other woman of her own social po- sition? 4.—What does it indicate when a person misspells five or six words in a letter? 5.—Isn't it discourteous for a motorist to drive through a funer- el procession? 6.—When a woman is playing golf with a man, who should pay her caddy? ANSWERS 1.—A. tip should be given quiet- ly and courteously, without show- ing the least display. One who 'gives a tip in a conspicuous man- ner invariably does so to impress those who are watching. 2. Never. The fork should rest on the plate, the prongs pointing upwards. 3. —"Mrs. Baker? This is Dorothy Moore." 4.—It indicates both neg- ligence and laziness. Every desk should contain a dictionary, and it takes but a minute to consult it. 5.—Yes; he should be patient and wait, even if in a hurry. 6.—The woman should pay her own caddy.
