Dr. X. T. Nicholson, of Philadel- phia, describes how this has enabled children threatened with twisted limbs to grow straight legs and normally -shaped feet. -0- DRUG REDUCES CLOTTING Partial success in preventing co- ronary thrombosis, a fatal clotting of the heart's main artery and a common cause of death, through use of a compound called heparin is reported by Dr. Charles H. Best, of Toronto, co -discoverer of in- sulin. QUICK SPRAIN CURE A quick hypodermic cure for sprained ankles and knees has been discovered. Novocaine is injected close to the sprain. It relieves the pails f moving the joint and at the same time helps injured tissues to recover quickly. The sprained part is bandaged tightly and, instead of being ord- ered to bed to rest, the patient is told to get up and walk around. -0- EAR DRUMS SHIFTED A surgical operation which moves the ear drum to a new, artificial opening into the inner ear is being found successful in ending some types of deafness. An opening is made in the ear just above the funnel where peo- ple stuff cotton when they have earaches. The new entry is about at the first coil of the "shell" around the funnel, Farm Forum Conducted by id Mind reader Autumn Dangers Menace Motorist Take Particular Care In Drive Ing Over the Highways At This Season Q. 1 have never kept chickens before, and I have a notion that the manure, if kept dry, is a valu- able by-product, at least worth giv- ing a little attention to. Am I right? Speaking roughly, after reading your letter I would say ,chicken manure equalled a 1 e- 1ee fertilizer. If dry, could it be used as a side -dressing on grow- ing crops? What is the value of chicken manure compared to the snanuee from one horse and one cow, nixed and looked after well? "LW.P,-Middlesex Co." A. The analysis of chicken man- ure would run about 1%4/5 formula. Chicken manure is es- timated to have a value of $4.16 per ton while a mixture of horse for dairy cow manure would have a value of $2.28 per ton. From ithese statements you will see that you are right in assuming that chicken manure is a valuable by - ',product. It should bo stored so that rain and snow will not wash through it, Canadian domestic exports for the eight-month period. ended An - gust 31, 1939, totalled $663,000,- 000, which is a gain of $121,500,- 000 over the same period the pre - Viols year.

Warning is being given by the Royal Aut .nobile Club of Canada to all motorists of the dangers that are inherent in autumn. Drivers are advised by George A. McNamee, manager of the R. A. C. to take particular care in driving over the highways at this time be- cause there is nothing, with the exception, of wet clay. that is more treacherous than a bed of wet leaves on the smooth surface of the road. With the high-powered cars in rse today the danger of skidding through emergency brak- ing is much increased as the loose leaves prevent the tires from get- ting ,the proper traction. Rainy Weather Is Bad Warning is also given that soft shoulders are very dangerous at this time, because of their lack of stability in rainy weather. A fast travelling car getting off the edge of the paved surface is almost bound to get out of control in the soft shoulders and land upside down in the ditch. The club p out that early darkness, slippery pavements, de- ceptive shadows, rain, mist and possibly early snowfalls, all call for extra vigilance in driving, not only to ensure the safety of the passengers, but 'iiso of pedestrir •• a and particularly children who are using the streets and highways to go to and from their schools. How Can 1 ? BY ANN ASH SY Q.--Ilow..can I tighten the blades of a pair of scissors, which have become loose? A, Try pressing a hot poster or solder iron on each side of the rivet which holds the blades. The rivet will expand and fit the hole, which tightens the blades. Q. How can 1 prepare a good fruit cocktail? A. Use one cup or orange juiee, four tablespoon' of lemon juice, and three tablespoons of honey- flavoured syrup. Mix these ingre- clients and serve with ice -in cock tail glasses. Q. How can I prevent moisture, from forming on my eyeglasses when going from a cold into a. warm atmosphere? A. Moisten the' tips of the fin- gers and rub them over a cake of soap; then rub them over the lens, and polish as usual. Q. How can remove ink stains.` from white goods? A. ei solution to keep on hand for this purpose is 1 ounce of each of sal ammoniac and salts of tar- tar. Put into a quart bottle half - full of water and shake well for several minutes. 'Then fill bottle with water, shako again and cork. Soak the goods in this solution and then wash. Q. How can I prevent the: threads in rag rugs from loosening when shaking them? A. Hold the rugs by the sides instead of the ends when 'shaking them. All the pull is on the threads joining the rags when holding them by the ends and the ru:, will wear out quickly, as it loosens the threads. A Little Warsaw Boy Saves His Pet Canary Among the pitiful sights attending the bombing of Warsaw by German planes was that of this Iittle boy with his pet canary, the only thing he managed to save from the ruins of his home, in which 10 persons were killed. Photo was taken just before Nazi occupation of Warsaw. t.•.• •.11..11•• Modern E tiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1, When at the table and some- one asks you a question while you have hod in your mouth, should one answer promptly and try to ntanege the food at the same time? 2. What should a girl do at a party when an inebriated guest insists upon kissing her? 3. Isn't it discourteous for a motorist to blow his horn when waiting in a line of traffic that is slow in moving? 4. Is a person who is very talka- tive usually a bore to others? 5. When giving a theatre party, what is the procedure of going down the aisle? 6. Should a person place his napkin on the table while the meal is ie. progTess? Answers 1. No. Wait until the food has been swallowed, Say, "I am sor- ry," then answer the question. This is much better than saying, "Blob-b-u-rr-gr-um-p-f." 2. Tell this guest frankly and positively, without displaying anger, that his actions are objectionable. If he persists, speak to your host or hostess. 3. Yes. It is discourteous,. rude, and usually ineffective. A well-bred person will always show patience in such instances. 4. Yes. Loquacity is a habit that one should strive daily to overcome. Feltham defines it thus; "A talka- tive fellow may be compared to an unbraced drum, which beats a wise man out of his wits. Logue,- city is the fistula of the mind - ever running, and almost incur- able." 5. The host or hostess should go first, followed by the guests in the order of seating. This avoids confusion.6, No; not until leaving the table. More U. S. Tourists Than During 1938 Number Entering Canada $n First Eight Months of 1939 Shows Increase Tourists entering Canada from the United States during the first eight mouths of 1939 totalled 11,- 968,905 compared with 11,838,379 in the same period last year, the mines and resources department reported at Ottawa last month. And while declines were registered all during the first five months of the. year, these were more than offset by the increased movement iu the months of June, July and August. The tourist traffic reached its peak iu July and August when 6;082,257 tourists from the United States en- tered Canada compared with 5,740,- 512 ,740,512 in the same two months last year. Says Girls Don't Like Farm Life Prof. Drummond of O. A. C. Declares Women Prefer The Comforts of the City It is far more difficult now for a farmer to get a, bride than it is for a city man, according to Prof. W. M. Drummond, of the Ontario Ag. ricultural College. Ho gave his own views to the civic farm placement committee in Toronto last week. Farm Wives Hard to Find He said women preferred the comforts of urban life to the heavy work of a farm wife, There is not the same attraction about taming fora woman as for a man and the rural marriage problem is further intensified because so many young girls leave the farm for city work, Prof. Drummond estimated three girls left rural homes for every farm lad who went to the city. Canada's War Role Greater Visiting Economist Predicts Technicians Will Be Train- ed Here If war comes to its fullest and grimmest extent to the countries of Lampe, With bombing planes dropping death 011 cities, on factor- ies and on universities, 'Canada may play an even more important role in the fight against Iditlerism than she is already scheduled to play, according to D.r, Michael Heilperin, Polish -born eeonc is authority, who is in Canada at the present time. To Train "Brains of War" Canada is already likes, to be- come the centre of arms and mun- • itions, production. It has already been selected as the training cen- tre for the war fliers of the Brit- ish Empire. But it may, according to Dr. Heilpea'in, also become the training place for the "brains" of the war. "I mean by this," he explained in an interview at Montreal .last week, "that wartime ooudtions may make it impossible to turn out technical men - engineers and physicians, particularly. ::Middle -Age Spread In Pigs Deplored 320,000 pigs of Victoria, Aus- tralia, must slim if they are to be in the export fashion. A Department .of Agriculture bulletin informs growers that the export trade demands long lean pigs and that they must conform to the "exacting demands of the United Kingdom pork and bacon trade." With the bulletin goes two pcitures of carcases, one long and lean showing a meaty cut and the other short and excessively fat. The idea is to catch pigs just be- fore that expansive, idyllic period when they develop the middle-aged spread. Have Y?u Head "Heard the news? Bill is in hospital." "What happened?"

Unusual in itself is his lengthy service, but Otis has overcome a physical handicap that threatened the end of his teaching career, Last year Otis had his larynx removed. The operation deprived hint of use of his vocal chords and made breath- ing possible only through small Bole in his throat, Undiscouraged, Otis learned to talk through an ac- coanplishnient rare in medical cir- cles.
