Have You Heard
Patrick was accused of stealing
a neighbor's pig.
"Well, now, Patrick," said the
judge, "when you are brought face
to face with Widow Maloney and
her pig on Judgment Day, what
account will you be able to give
of yourself when she accuses you
of stealing?"
"You said the pig would be
there, sir?" said Pat. "Well, then.,
I'lI just say: 'Mrs. Maloney, there's
your pig'!"
were drawing your last breath,"
the chances are you should have
said "Maybe you're right" and just
thrown the offending lipstick into
the waste basket.
Better Able to Judge
Perhaps just because men don't
know "what they are wearing" and
what is "smart this season" they
are better able than women to
judge whether a color or a style
becomes one particular woman.
Thee, too, remember that hus-
bands' are extremely critical. After
all, it Is their wives who either
look beautiful and are a'credit to
them or who miss the mark and
are not.

"I don't like to refuse you,"
said the colonel, "but I've just re-

Pay Attention To
Advice of Spouse
A Woman Needs to Pay Heed
To Her Husband's Criticism
Of Her Looks
The woman who turns a deaf ear
to her husband's suggestions about
her looks or clothes may be ou the
wrong track. And that is not just
because it behooves a woman to
cater to the taste of the man in her
life.
It is also because a man, if he is
interested enough in bow his wife
looks to notice and comment -
can be of great help to a woman in
reading out just what things are
tor Tien, and what things are not.,

band's "That lipstick is ghastly. It '

How To Keep
A Cat Happy
Every self-respecting cat likes
to keep her claws in the ftnset
condition -even the apartment eat
that seldom gets a chance to
scratch a tree. Give her a sturdy,
short post, with the bark left on,
mounted upright on a firm base,
and you'll save money on slip-
covers and upholstery. An old
throw rug or piece of discarded
carpet which she will soon dis-
cover is her very own will keep
kitty contented, too.

Q. How can I test the purity of
the. air in a room?
A. Pour some lime water into a
glass. If a thin, white scum forms
on top, there is an excess of car-
bonic acid in the air and a need
of more ventilation.
Q. How can I make a good sub-
stitute for baking powder?
A. Mix 3:: -teaspoon of soda with
1y,$ -teaspoon of cream of tartar.'.
This solution is equal to 2 tea-
spoons of baking powder.
Q. How can I whiten and purify
a sponge?
A. Soak the sponge in milk and .
thoroughly rinse in warm water'
with a little carbolic acid,
Q-. How can I cause coal to barn
better, and also produce less soot
in the chimney and flues?
A. A suggested treatment is
that as soon as the coal has been
placed in the bin, pour a strong
solution of salt and water over it.
Wait until ` the coal has drained
before using, as wet coal has a
tendency to burn out the grate
bars and fire -pot.
Q. How can I prevent soap from
entering my eyes when giving my-
self a shampoo?
A. Before the shampoo, grease
the area around the eyes with
vaseline or cold cream.

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE.
1. How should a maid hold a
dish as she presents it at the table?
2. Should a man hand his coat
to a woman to hold while he dosis
it?
3. When a young woman is in-
traducing herself socially, should
she say, "I am. Miss Gibson," or
"I am Edna Gibson"? • +
.. • - �� ar;�.lian- .__..�a.�,lc� 1;urieN..T�
Other's opinion is it permissible to'
say, "No, • it is nothing of tha
kind," or "That is where ybu are
entirely wrong"?
5. Is it customary for a house
guest to bring his hostess some
kind of gift?
6. What would be the very
smallest menu one should have for
an after -theatre supper?
Answers
1. The dish should be held that
on the palm of the left hand, and
presented at the left of the guest.
If the dish is hot, a napkin can be
used as a pad underneath. 2. He
might be privileged to do so if
one arm is paralyzed, or he is suf-
fering severely with rheumatism.
Otherwise it would be a very pre-
sumptuous gesture. 3. She should
say, "I am Edna Gibson." 4, No;
a well-bred person will never
make such blunt contradictions.
One may say, "I don't believe I
can agree with you," or, "Well it
seems to me (so and so)." 5. Yes,
It is often done, but not absolute-
ly necessary. The bread-and-but-
ter letter is really all that is ex-
pected and required. 6. One hot
dish, such as chicken a la king or
creamed oysters, a nice salad. and
coffee.
SPROUTED GRAIN HELP.,
RESIST INFECTION
Sprouted grain is seen as a pos-
sible contribution to alleviating hu.
marl ills by aiding resistance to in-
fectious disease,
Dr. Osear Erf, head of testing
and research at Ohio State Unie
Versity, asserts that a "germin-
ated seed diet tends to make hu-
man beings, as well as animals, lege
susceptible to tuberculosis, ranee -
tis and undulant fever."
Experiments on cows, fed on a
diet of sprouted grain, show that
their productive life span has been
increased almost one-fourth of
their total life.
RIB REMOVAL. AND
BLOOD PRESSURE
Yielding part of a rib may bring
relief from high blood pressure.
Dr. Max Peet of Michigan Uni-
versity told the Kansas City South-
west Medical Clinic he has found
the best treatment is removal of
part of the 11th rib and cutting
of nerves con-tected with blood
vessels that lead to the kidneys.
He said the operation is not a
"cure-all" for the disease but that
of 194 patients so treated in six
years '76 per cent. had gained com-
plete or almost complete relief
from symptosis of high blood
pressure and 46 per cent. had
shown. definite improvement.

Six cubicles without doors have

Principal of Queen's University
Expresses Doubts About The
Absence of Hard Work in
Today's Schooling - Mould
To Individual Needs
Expressing doubts whether the
present educational system was en-
tirely justifying itself and assert-
ing that only through education
can permanent peace come to the
world, Dr. R. C. Wallace, principal
of Queen's University, in an ad-
dress at Montreal last week declar-
ed that education needed to be lots
more closely moulded to individual
needs. But by making education
more interesting, valuable discip-
line to the mind was lost. Educa-
tion would ultimately make people
hate, not other people, but things.
Then they could destroy the evil
things, not the people themselves,
and wars would end, he prophe-
sied.
Peace Through Education
Dr. Wallace said that the pur-
pose of education was "the devel-
opment of those qualities with
which nature has endowed each in-
dividual, and also to add to that
body of men and women -whose
business it is to help in the great
task of moral, social and spiritual
regeneration of the world in which
I
we live."
I fie thought that up to now, edu-
cationists alight have failed just
through malting education more in-
teresting, in that it had become
less exacting than a generation
i1 ago.
"it takes really hard work to dis-
cipline the mind, and yet somehow
we seem to have forgotten that it
mist be done," he declared.
