llav a You Heard
At the conclusion of a dispute
with his landlady the lodger re-
marked icily: "I presume you will
allow me to take my belongings
with me when 1 leave your house?"
"I'm sorry," said the landlady,
"but your other collar hasn't come
back from the laundry yet."

The furious diner bellowed to
waiter: "What's the matter with
you, pian? I began with fish and
now you've brought nee soup.
Surely you know that soup comes
first?"
"Yes, sir, quite, sir," said the
waiter, in a whisper, "but between
ourselves,- sir, the fish couldn't
wait any longer."

Two friends met in the street.
,One of them remarked on the dirty
state of the other's hands.
"Why," he exclaimed, "your
hands are covered in soot."
"That's because I was down at
the station seeing my wife away,"
-replied his friend..
"But how does that .act your

Man Trains Dogs
By Biting Them
Joseph W. Lawler, bartender
and dog trainer of Waltham,
Mass., can't see why it should be
news when a man bites a dog -he
does it almost every day.
Lawler, who trains dogs at a
farm in Weston, explained that his
method of curing a vicious dog
was first to let the dog bite him
and then bite the dog right back.
Sweet peas were first grown
successfully in 1700 by Dr. Uve-
-dale, an English schoolmaster.

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE

MODERN ETIQUETTE t
1. When a ,nan and a woman
are engaged to be married, isn't
it permissible for them to kiss in
public, and otherwise show their
devotion?
2. Is it necessary for a pian to
thank a woman for a dance?
3. In which hand should the
fork be held when conveying food
to the mouth, and the knife is not
required?
4. Isn't it a
breeding when a
asked a question
teous reply?
5. When a man brings an unex-
pected guest home to dinner,
should the wife apologize for the
scanty meal?
6. What is the minimum that
one should tip a waiter in a dining
car?
1. No. Such demonstrations
should be reserved for their pri-
vacy. It shows very poor taste
for them to display their love in
public, and provokes unkind com-
ments and criticism among their
associates, 2. Yes; at the end
of the dance. If it has lasted only
one minute, or thirty, the man
should say "Thank you." 3. The
right hand. 4. Yes, decidedly so.
A well-bred person is always cour-
teous in his manner of speech.
As the old proverb says, "Civil,
obliging language costs but little,
and doth a great deal of good."."
5. Never. She should serve exact-
ly what she has on hand, without
the least apology of embarrass-
ment. 6. Fifteen to twenty-five
cents.

SCOUTUNIG
One of the summer's ou'tstand-
ing examples of Boy Scout first
aid work was that rendered by two
St. Catharines lads when 31 pas-
sengers were injured in the teles-
coping of two electric interurban
ears. Among the first on the scene,
Scouts Gordon Clarkson; 16, and
Wilfred Locking; 15, helped pas-
sengers through the windows, then
proceeded to give first aid'. Tour-
niquets were applied to the severe-
ly cut legs of a motorman, then
the injured passengers were as-
sisted to a nearby faring and ban"
daged with torn -up sheets, pillow-
cases and towels supplied by the
farmer's wife. •

Quebec Leads Dominion in the
Cases and Deaths
Quebec leads all other provinces
in the number of tuberculosis eas-
es and the deaths caused by the
disease, Dr. J. E. Dube, presk:ent
of. the Bruchesi Institute, sale. last
week in Montreal.
Canada Slow Combatting It
Dr. Dube pointed out that sever-
al new sanatoriums have been •op-
eni3t1--in-tike province rGatioF.,:hnt. •
there was still a great need `for
beds. Quebec abounded in workers
but lacked money for the work he
said.
A campaign against tuberculosis
had been conducted in the United
States for the past 40 years with
decided progress, Dr. Dube stated.
In Canada, progress had been a
lot slower, thus failing to check
properly the heavy annual death
toll.
How Can I t ,
BY ANNE ASH' EY
Q.—How can I keep cheese
moist?
A.—Wrap it in cheesecloth that
has been wrung out of vinegar.
When the cloth becomes dry,
moisten it again.
Q.—How can I make a good
cleanser for brass, copper, and
pewter?
A.—A good cleanser is a mix-
ture of salt with an equal quantity
of flour and vinegar. Apply a
paste made up of these ingredi-
ents and allow to remain on for
an hour; then rub off. Wash with
water; then polish.
Q.—What is a good headache
remedy?
A.—A remedy that is often ef-
fective is to lay thin slices of a
raw potato across the forehead.
Or, place a pinch of salt on the
tongue and allow it to dissolve;
then in about ten minutes t•
ake a
drink of cold water.
Q.—How can I improve the fla-
vor of tea?
A.—Add a small piece of dried
orange peel, that is kept in a glass
jar, to the teapot before pouring
in the boiling water.
Q.—How can I remove a blood
stain from silk material.
A.—A blood stain on silk mate-
rial can be removed easily if a few
inches of white sewing silk is mois-
toned on the tongue, rolled into a
ball, and then rubbed on the stain
gently.
Q.—How can I keep pumpkin
for a long time?
A. ---Pumpkin should be dried if
one wishes to keep it for a long
lime. Cut it into thin slices and
place around the stove to dry. Be-
fore using, soak for an hour or
two, then cook in the usual man-
ner.
BELIEVE STARS MUCH
NEARER
Discovery of a special bending
of starlight near the time of sun-
rise and sunset, due apparently to
peculiar waves on the top of the
earth's amtesphere, has been an-
nounced at Columbia University.
The discovery affects the basic
measurements as astronomical dis-
tances. It shrinks the estimates of
the size of the Milky Way, and in-
dicates that many stars familiar to
the naked eye are two or three
times nearer than has been believ-
ed.
About 5,000 stars are affected.
GERM -KILLING LAMP
A new germ -killing ultra -violet
lamp which eventually may be
used in hospitals and air conditi-
oning systems, has been develop-
ed by General Electric research
engineers.
A series of investigations show
the lamp will kill all bacteria in
113 cubic feet of air per minute.

There is only one *ay to keep

clean and cool, The milk as pro-
duced by the cow 1s practically all
free from bacteria, and will keep
for a long time if not allowed .to
become contaminated with ham'
ia from the air, dirty utensils, or
other sources. One should -sap in
mind that bacteria are everywhere
and that it is very hard to keep
them out of anything that ono is
handling. When th bacteria get
into the milk they grow and act on
the milk sugar, forming lactic acid
and thus causing sour milk.
Use Sterile Utensils
if you take the milk as the cow
produces it and handle it in such
a manner that the bacteria count
is low, you can keep it sweet for a
long time by keeping it at a temp -

When little three-year-old San-

buildings of a modern city. She

had to do something about it.
So with the aid of a neighbor
he decided to blast.
The huge rock blew into pieces
and left a crater in the ground. The
noise starteld hundreds of persons
in the township, and started a rusk
to the telephones.
