S. public health service.

People with greasy skins are batt- ling againt an unbecoming shine; even those with. dry or normal com- plexions find it hard work to keep their make-up smooth and matt in the heat of the sun. Shininess alone is bad enough, but the trouble does not stop at that! A shine indicates that the surface of the skin is very sticky, and dirt and dust accumu- late very easily on a sticky surface.

A very sceptical man frequently went fishing - but only because he liked to say they weren't biting. And he never used bait because he didn't believe anything would' grab It, anyway. Ono day came the big surprise. He oast his line, and there was a sudden jerk. Something grabbed that line and then started off to- wards the other end ot the lake. The sceptical man fought that fish all the afternoon. Finally he landed the biggest trout ever taken In those waters. Puffing heavily, he gazed down at his prize that nearly swamped the boat. "It's a lie!!" he snorted. And he rolled it overboard. Jerry: "It took me twelve lessons to teach Sylvia to try to swim" Terry: "Why, the little flirt; I taught het' in six."

"T h i s tournament, which is played over a magnifi- cent scenic 18 -hole course laid in the Athabaska Valley in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, promis- es to be the most successful yet staged over this picturesque course," he said. Grandpa gnashed his toothless gums indignantly. "There's far too much bad lang- uage used by the younger genera- tion," he wheezed. "Now, when I was a boy things were different -" "Well, said his grandson' 'I do think we are much better t y than in your time better than they were thousands ot years ago - even the babies swore in the olden days." "How do you make that out?" gasped grandpa. "Why, replied the youngster, "it saiys in the Bible that Joh cursed the dray he was born."

Brit •:; in Remix gyres Every Signpost Picturesque Course Representing the grand finale of the season's activities at Jasp- er Park Lodge, this week on the green has now become an insti- tution and ranks as the outstand- ing annual golfing event in the Pacific Northwest according to Mr. Van Wyck. "The tournament is exclusively for amateurs and all players take part in a qualify- ing round during the first two days. Women are assured of the same number of games as the men, with many opportunities for friendly matches. The men's To- tem Pole Championship Final is played over 36 holes; all other flights for both men and women are 18 hole matches." Round Trip Arrangements It is announced that arrange- ments have been made for all- inclusive rates over the Canadian National Railways for the bene- fit of golfers participating in this event. These rates cover round - t r i p transportation, standard sleeping car occupancy, seven days accommodation to the Lodge and return. Idea Is To Bewilder Ony Nazi Parachutists Able to Reach Ground Alive Any German parachutist who de- scends from the skies upon Britain won't know where he is for all the place signs in the Old Country have been crazed. Even the British often are not quite sure of their whereabouts. This is all because in recent weeks work has gone ahead to obliterate every indication of locality. NO STRANGERS KNOW THEIR 'WHEREABOUTS Generations ago sign posts were set up along the highways and the lanes, and these stood at their sta- tions until recently. The fingers of these posts bore Such legends as "To London. 10 miles" or "to Bris- tol, 5 miles," or, to take mote re- mote places, "To Moreton -in -the - Marsh,. 2 miles," or "To Ston•-in-the- Woold, 1 mile," All these have been removed. Then, too, all along the old high- ways stand milestones, which in the most rases have rested there for centuries. These, too, have been chipped out. S�4w bdsrmIn . a?

CAMPAIGN FOR HEALTH "At this time of Empire crisis, it calls on all Canadians to shake off that apathy, to fight it in others, and to join hands in a de- termined effort to make prevent- able sickness a thing unknown in the Dominion, to raise the na- tional standard of heatlh and ef- ficiency, and to make it possible for every Canadian man and wo- man to take a full share in our national war effort" so states the Honourable Mr. Justice Riddell, President of the Health League of Canada in "A Message to Can- adians in Wartime" printed in the current issue of the magazine "Health." Mr. Justice Riddell's message reads: "A few days ago, the Hon- ourable J. Harold Kirby, K.C., Ontario's Minister of Health, stated publicly that a concerted health programme at this time is of the first importance if Can- ada is to prosecute the war ef- ficiently. Sickness -Fifth Column "Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon this fact. Annually thousands of dollars are wasted, and thousands of working days lost because of sickness which is entirely preventable. This waste must be stopped and this con- dition rectified. Both money and man -power are needed now for the defence of Canada and the Empire. "Neglect of health is a "fifth- columnn activity no less than more open and more spectacular forms of sabotage; and ignor- ance of simple health rules can- not be allowed to excuse such flagrant neglect of common pru- dence. "The Health League of Can- ada has carried on an active and determined campaign for health during many years, , b nd has succeeded in accomplishing great things ; in spite of the ap- athetic attitude of many of our citizens."

He knew the value of a bawbee as few; others even of his countrymen did, and in a lifetime of trouping he put the knowledge to good use. His rules for thrift were pro- verbial in decades past. They might well be brushed up and brought to light now, w'r'ites Ann Rutherford, in the Stratford Beacon -Herald. Here they are, all ten of them, aro applicable now as when they were first pronounced: "1. Behave toward your purse as you would your beet friend. "2. View the reckless money spender as a criminal and shun. him company. "3. Dress neatly, not lavishly. A bank pays a higher rate of interest than your back. "4. Take your amusements judi- ciously. You will enjoy them better if you do: "5. Don't throw away your crusts -- eat them. They are as strength- ening as beef. "6•. It is more exhilarating to feel money in your pocket than beer in your stomach. "7. Remember, it only takes twenty sihillings to make a pound, and twelve pennies to make a shie, ling. "8. You can sleep better after a hard day's work than after a day's idleness, "9. Always get good value from. tradesmen. They watch they get good money from you. "10.
