Have You .t 7 card A young girl at the University of Missouri recently wrote her mother, air mail special delivery, as follows: Dear Mother: Please send me money for a new dress immediately. Have had several dates with Jimmy and have worn each of my dresses once. We have a date tomorrow night and 1 must have another dress right away. If you don't send the money, pend a new dress.

He tried to get his partner. to do likewise. "1 can't do it, John," replied the partner, when the other's in- sistence became irksome. "Who'll do the weighin' if I join?" "Are these the largest or- anages you have?" asked Mrs. Brown, ofthe grocer. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the reply, those are only the large' size. We also have the larger, inam- moth, giant, jumbo, colossal and c uper-colossal sizes." -_0— The Bishop of Cologne was ar- rested recently. He had taken as text for a sermon: "The lie limps through the land." "Your sermon was against Dr. Goebbels;" he was told. "You know he limped." "Yes," replied the bishop; "but I didn't knew he lied." A newspaper account of the in- cident concluues: "The bishop is a free man." —oma Employer: "Say, boy„these aren't references:” Office Boy (trying for job): "Bo* I thought they would he better.

For usual street •wear a three - thread for heavier wear andtwo. thread for 'eveig.ing. Select the leg .size and length correct for your build. it's economical, too, to buy no less than two pair of the same color' and weight at a time and to wash hose after each wearing in a mild suds, rinsing and drying carefully. Chewing Gum Reduces Tension Serves As A Means of Relaxa- tion, Psychologists Report It has been suggested repeatedly that one of the chief benefits of smoking and chewing gum is their value as outlets for increased ten- sion. It has been said that most ha- bitual movements of the body re- present release of such inner ten- sion, says Dr. Morris Fishbein. Recently psychologists at Colum- bia University made a study of 20 people over a period of 20 days to find out just how much chewing served ..as. a ,means,, ot. relaxation. Bach.01 the persons concerned was `studied first while not chewing, se- cond, .while chewing ordinary chewing gum, and third, while al- lowing a flavored candy wafer to melt in the mouth. Decreased Ten Per Cent. It was necessary first of all to finer some measurement of tension or strain. This was done by watch- ing each one of the persons eon- cerned throughout a working day and recording restless' movements, In many of these subjects it was found that tension as measured by decrease of restless movements was clecreaso-d about 10 per cent. during chewing.. Studies were also made to deter- mine whether indulgence In suck a habit had any relations to fat- igue. Fatigue produces increased psychologic tension. When people are tired from over -work and over- strain, the use of tea and coffee seems to increase tension. On the other hand, it was found in these studies, chewing tended to de- crease tension. The amount of mus- cular elio'rt involved is hardly suf- ficient to increase fatigue. How Can I ?' BY ANNE ASI -i' EV Q. How can 1 relieve tired eyes? A.

What Sciange IS Dong VITAMINS HEAL WOUNDS Wounds heal more rapidly if the body is well supplied with ascorb- ic acid, or vitamin C. Sorno gen- eral observations have been made by surgeons that the wounds of persons who were receiving an ade- quate amount of vitamin 0 in their diet before operations for appendicitis healed in less than the average time, , . AND MIS:NTAL DISO1 DERS . The eating of a common vitam- in which can be purchased in pills at the corner drug store is being used as a treatment for extreme nervousness and a possible preven- tive of some forms of insanity, The vitamin, known as B-1. is not "a cure-all" for nervous dis- orders. However, it has already proven effective in the quick treatment of a number of physical and mental disorders.

FARM COLUMN QUALITY THE WATCHWORD "So long as there is a prospect of Britain being able to keep the trade routes open, we should not become ;too anxious to change our agricultural objectives in Canada. We will probably do most for our- selves and Britain • by - continuing to produce just what We have been producing, improving im- niediately the quality and step- ping up the quantity as the de- mand develoOs,"—Hon. J. G. Gar. diner, Dominion Minister of Agri- culture, at the annual dinner of the United Grain Growers at Win- nipeg. - --0— RED CLOVER SEED In order to identify 'red elover seed sold in Canada, seed .from South America, Italy, Africa, and Turkestan must have 10 per cent stained red; from the United States, one per cent blue; from Great Bititain, one per cent black, and all other imported seed, one per dant green.

Treatment; Community Job. Professor of Medicine at Mc- Gill,Asserts Physicians Cas - able of Ending Disease Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, and therefore a commun- ity problem, Dr. James B. Ross, F.R.C.P. (Eng.) associate profes- sor of Medicine at McGill Uni- versity, told the Kiwanis Club of Montreal recently. The treatment of a person open to tuberculosis was, he said, a community prob- lem, and not a personal problem between him and his physician. Not A Personal Problem The medical profession posses- ses enough knowledge about tub- erculosis and methods of hand- ling it to eliminate the disease. He Iooked forward to the time when, like typhoid, tuberculotsis would cease to take the heavy death toll that it now did. Since 1,900, deaths in the United States had decreased from 200 per 100,- 000 population to 43 per 100,000. In Quebec there were still 95 to 100 deaths per 100,000, as against 34 in Ontario and 22 in Sask- atchewan. Saskatchewan spent '76 cents per head on the control of tuberculosis and Quebec spent 41 cents per head. The Book Shell r"z:rx A GLANCE BACK. WARD" By E. A. HOWES This is the kind of book that starts the older folks "remember- ing back," and the young ones saying "My father told me that when he was a boy " The de- lighted reader will find here the Red Schoolhouse, with its long benches and scratching slates; the community church with its long sermon and old-fashioned hymns, revivals and church socials; con- certs of local talent, bees and dances; the cattle show, sugar - making; the old home .and domes- tic tasks. Dean Bowes, a familiar and well -loved figure in many parts of the Dominion, went from the Red Schoolhouse at Henry, Ontario to Cornell, Columbia and Clarke Uni- ersities. He has been teacher, school principal, and professor. Now as Dean of the College of Agriculture at the University of Alberta, he is recollecting the lively escapades and amusing 'an- cedotes of yesterday as he sits i>b • his study after dinner by a blaz- ing hearth.
