BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I make a good mending cement? A. Mix 1 quart of wood ash- es, cup table salt, and en- ough water to give proper con- sistency. The dark appearance at first will afterwards turn al- most white. Q. How can I whiten the face and hands, and keep the skin soft and smooth? A. One method is to wash the face and hands once a day with pure white soap and warm water, then wash again in warm (not hot) buttermilk, or sour milk. Wipe lightly with a soft cloth. Q. How can I clean grease from stone steps? A. Pour on a strong solution of washing soda in boiling water. Then cover the stain thickly with a paste of fuller's earth and hot hot water, and allow to remain overnight. Repeat if necessary. Q. How can I remedy rancid butter? A. Soak the rancid butter for two hours in cold water, to which a large pinch of carbonate of soda has been added. Work the butter thoroughly, and then form into the desired roll. Q. How can I prevent silk thread from slipping in the needle while sewing? A. This slipping can be pre- vented, if after threading the needle as usual, one end of the thread is brought through the eye of the needle a second time. • HAVE YOU HEARD? An Eastern potentate, who wanted to know how many men were afraid of their wives, sent for all his married male subjects and commanded those who al- ways obeyed their wives to staled on one side. Seeing to his surprise, that a very small plan was the only one who did not do so, he asked him why such a puny individual as himself had a mind of his own. "When I left home, your Ma- jesty," explained the man, "I promised my wife .I wauld not go in any crowd." * * * Even if money grew on trees, it would still be the, smart birds who would get it. * * * The Highlander saw a puff of anti-aircraft smoke in the dist- ance and thought it was a para- chutist. He gave the alarm— and men turned out to search. They found frothing, so his of- ficer asked if he was sure of what he'd seen. "Have you no doubt at all in your mind?" he demand- ed.. "Aweel, sir," he replied, "I had nane till I saw hien gaun' up again." * * * A laddie from college named Breeze Weighed down by B.A.'s and M.D.'s, Cooling, eoothing Mentholatum in- stantlyrelieves the stabbingpain.Aaso for head colds, chapping, borne and bruises. Jars and tubes, 30e. tom MENTHOLATUM Gives COMFORT baily You're killing V yourself by degrees." * A woman's voice was heard from the steps of a crowded car: "Oh get in, dear; someone will give you a seat." The- next mo- ment two young women entered... The men in the car read papers sternly. Those who had none pre- tended to be asleep. The too -cer- tain woman glared in vain. The car went on for half a mile, then a man got off. "There's a seat for one," said the conductor. "Don't take it, dear," said one young woman, "some man will want it." In the moment of defeat she triumphed. * * * A small toy, sitting next to a very haughty lady in a street car, kept sniffing. "Boy, haven't you a handker- chief?" she asked severely. The boy regarded her sil- ently for a moment and re- plied: "Yes, I have, but 1 don't lend it to strangers." Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE ROBERTA LEE 1. Can a friendly letter be too long? 2. What is the proper thing to say when entering a strange of- fice and you wish to see Mr. Carter, an executive? 3. When giving an informal dinner, how should the invita- tions be issued? 4. When an introduction is forced upon you, and you know, from things you have heard, that you will not like this person, can one show here feelings by the manner of acknowledgment? 5. When a husband makes fre- quent business trips, should his wife, in her letters to him, be cheerful instead of relating every little thing that has gone wrong? 6. When a woman is dinner - dancing at a hotel, should she check her wrap? Answers 1. That all depends upon the contents of the letter. Between intimate friends, a long, newsy interesting letter is always wel- come. A letter relating troubles, aches, ills, and accidents is always too long, whether three pages or ten. 2. "I should like to see Mr. Carter. I am Mr. Marshall, of the Walker Manufacturing Company, Chicago." 3, One may write brief notes, or extend in- vitations by phone. 4. Never, An introduction will not obligate you to further 'recognition.' 5. Yes.' The helpful wife will make her letters bright and cheerful. 6. She may leave it on the back of her chair if she wishes. HEALTHI TOPICS .aertrw-w.a.�r.e +-r•at..a,.e..M-o.•f: Vegetables Are Very Important Do you eat enough vegetables? Valuable as they are in minerals and vitamins, vegetables must be ineluded in the things we eat. So states an article 'in the current issue of the magazine "Health," prepared by the nutrition commit- tee off the Health League of Can- ada. Not all vegetables are equally valuable from a nutritive point et view, the article points out. Some vegetables supply iron, others do not, We get Vitamin A from one kind of vegetable and vitamin C tram another. Cabbage, spinach and carrots are good sources of vitamin A, which is necessary to maintain normal vision and to prevent disease. Green cabbage is niu.cll richer in vitamin A than white cabbage. The outer leaves of cabbage are more valuable than the inner heart. Serve Two Per Day Without vegetables and fruit, people would be deprived of the important vitamin 0, which safe- guards us against scurvy. Tolna" toes, cabbage, turnips and potatoes are chief sources of this vitamin. Orange juice and tomato juice also. are good. Cabbage and green leaved vege- tables t..re valuable in their iron. Content, needed to prevent anaeolis. Dried beans are also good iron pro- ducers. At least two vegetables. should be served every day. Among the necessary body ma- terials are: proteins, certain. min- erals and vitamins. Proteins may be obtained from many sources, but not all are of equal value as body building material. Those ob- tained from meat and vegetables are superior to those we get from grain, vegetables and nuts, for ex- ample. Meat and fish, therefore, are advisable in our regular diet. The average man needs about 70 grams of proteins a day. Experts agree that a large portion of these should be drawn from milk, cheese, eggs and meat er fish. The follow- ing table shows the quantity de- rivable from each: 3 glasses of milk 18 grams- 1 rams"1 one -inch cube of cheese 6 grams 1 egg 6 grams 1 normal slice beef 8 gloms Total 38 grams The ether 32 grams will be ob- tained from others of our daily foods. He Confounded the Experts The veteran fishermen were all present, equipped with expensive tackle and the latest word in rods. In fact, the annual "big fish" competition of the Part Alber,ii, B.C., Tyee Club was in full swig:,. Then along came 16 -year old Tommy Turner with a cheap, borrowed bamboo rod and annex- ed the silverware with a 411 pound salmon. He also won him- self a very nice fishing boat, and the congratulations of the veter- ans, who being good fishermen ,,ore sportsmen to the core. Fish like the one landed by Tommy Turner are all in the day's sport, summer, fall or winter, on Can- ada's west coast. The Empress Hotel, Victoria, social centre of Canada's Evergreen Playground, is the headquarters far fisher- men, golfers and outdoor en- thusiasts generally. --Canadian Pacific Photo.

In a report before the American Public Health Association, three scientists of the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology demonstrated in pictures that the droplets of a sneeze or a cough speed through the air at the rate of more than a mile per minute and have a range of 30 feet or more. —o— NEW TREATMENT FOR • WOUNDS A new use for sulfanilamide, as i,.n antiseptic for wounds and in- fections, is reported in the proceed- ings of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. To make an antiseptic, the sul- fanilamtde is mixed with ordinary salt in solution, and applied either in packs directly on a wound, or by irrigation. Wayne Long, 13, of Herrin, I11., crossed the street to borrow an egg from a neighbor. Then he started home, but ran into the side of a moving automobile and was knocked down. The car ran over one leg, breaking his ankle. The egg in his pocket wasn't even cracked. New General Freight Mgr.
