HAVE
U HEARD?
The wife of a German work-
linan employed in a perambulator
factory tried to induce him to
steal a perambulator for their
baby. He refused to do this, but
agreed to purloin sufficient parts
to make a complete machine.
The great day for the assemb-
ly of the parts arrived. After
five hours the wife went out to
their back yard and found her
husband in a state of exhaustion.
"It's no good," he said. "It al-
ways comes out a machine gun."
The man who pokes fun at
a woman trying to drive
through a 12 -foot garage
door usually sobers up when
he tries to thread a needle.
The prison visitor was doing
her noble best.
"And what sort of a man are
you going to be when you get
out of prison?" she asked one
of the inmates.
"An old one, lady," replied the
convict, grimly.
A foreign diplomat once walk-
ed unexpectedly into a room
where President Lineoln was
blacking his shoes.
"Why, Mr. President!" he ex-
claimed superciliously, "do you
,black your own shoes?"
"Yes," replied Lincoln. "Whose
Ames do you black?"
Bernard Shaw is as past
roaster at the ready retort.
A young woman sitting next
to him at dinner remarked:
"What a wonderful thing is
youth!"
"Yes — and what a crime
to waste it on children,"
G. B. S. replied, sagely.

The ony town in the world
around which a game reserve has
been declared, is .Juba, in the
Sudan, which recently celebrated
its ninth birthday. Game usually

of Juba. Here it is possible to
meet lions in the streets, leop-
ards in your garden, and see but -

drome, The governor of Juba
once cause home to find seventy
elephants tasting refuge in a cor-

HEALTH
TOPICS

Consider Before
Before
Removing Tonsils.
There is substantial evidence that
in about 20 per cent of children
the tonsils are either enlarged or
diseased and therefore have an un-
favourable influence on the physic-
al development of the child. Suet
tonsils should he removed, says the
Health League of Canada.
The tonsils have assumed an im-
portant rble in the economy of the
child during the last 30 years. The
beneficial results following relilov-
a1 of tonsils in selected cases has
well justified the procedure.
It has been shown that markedly
hypertrophied tonsils and tonsils
that are repeatedly inflamed, giving;
rise to attacks of tonsillitis and
swollen. neck glands, frequently_ im-
pair normal physical development.
Wiheu such a condition exists after
four years of age.it is advisable to
have the tonsils removed, with the
expectation that at least 50 per
cent of children so treated will he
materially improved.
Take Out Diseased Ones
it is undeniable that the child
population of the country has ex-
perienced better physical develop-
ment with fewer interruptions due
to mild and prolonged illnesses in
the last 30 years. Infant mortality
has been reduced and fatal illness
in the school age occurs less often.
While the wide -spread application
of public health procedures such
as pasterization of milk, the safe-
guarding of water supplies and c'are
of foods, and the health education
of the public has had the most in-
fluence in this direction, it must
be admitted that eradication of un-
healthy tonsils has played a con-
siderable role in the physical im-
pr'ovement of the race.
The single question to be deter-
mined in respect to the tonsils of
a child is: Are these tonsils dis-
eased? If so, they should promptly
be renzoved--------

Canadian Furs
For The U. S.
Canada was the chief source of
supply in the imports into the
United States in 1939 of furs of
silver and black fox, badger,
beaver, marten, fox (other than
silver), muskrat, mink, otter,
skunk and lynx. The value of
the silver and black fox pelts
alone was $1,466,870 out of the
total import valued at 82,468,-
164. Imports of silver and black
fox furs into the United .States
for 1039 from Norway were
valued at $770,280; from the
United Iiingdorn, $178,151: from
Finland, $17,685, and from Buss
sia, $12,994.

ENOL FOR CANCER
Ensol, a biological product did.
covered five years ago by Dr. Bell.
dry C. Connell of Queen's TJni-
versity., Kingston, as a means 01
arresting cancer, has been found
beneficial iii a large degree by the
Ontario Commission for the leves-
tigatiou of Cancer IRemedies and
the eonrmission in a report issued
last month recommences its use in
company with other therapeutic
methods.
NEW TREATMENT FOR BURNS
Out of such a horror as the ex-
plosion of the German dirigible
Hindenburg at Lallehurst, N.J., in
1937, came a new method of treat-
ment for severe burns. The lives
of three of the persons involved
in the disaster were saved by the
administration of hormones from
the vertex or.covering of the ad-
renal glands which lie just over
the kidneys.
SNOW, ICE CARRY SOUND
The discovery in the wind-swept
Antarctic that porous, compaoted
snow and ice are excellent trans-
mitters of sound, was reported last
week by Dr. T. C. Poulter, who
was second in command on Admir-
al Richard E. Byrd's second expe-
dition to the Antarctic.
"During the construction of one
of our magnetic tunnels, extending
about 1,500 feet to one side of Little
America," Dr. Poulter said, "we
discovered that the porous, com-
pacted snow and ice were excellent
transmitters of sound and that fre-
quently from within the tunnel it
was possible to hear persons shov-
eling in the snow a distance of
nearly a quarter of a mile."
How Can 1?
SY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I test the waffle
iron to see if it is hot enough
for the batter?
A. One way is to put a tea-
spoon of water in the iron, close
it, and when the steam ceases
corning out, the iron is ready for
the batter.
Q. How can I treat scratched
furniture?
A. Several remedies are as
follows: Boiled linseed oil rub-
bed over the surface of the fur-
niture rubbing with camphorated
oil; rubbing with iodine; rubbing•
a shelled walnut on furniture
scratches and following with the
usual polish.
Q. What can I do when some-
thing has become lodged in the
throat?
A. When anything has be-
come lodged in the throat, it can
be carried down by swallowing;
an unbeaten raw egg.
Q. How can 1 perfume the
dresser drawers?
A. Get some pumice stone and
cut into pieces; then pour a few
drops of perfume on each lump
of the pumice stone.
Q. How can I cause paint to
adhere more rapidly to tinware?
A Before painting, rub the
surface of the tinware thorough-
ly with a piece of rough pumice
stone, or coarse sandpaper; then
apply a thin coat of shellac var-
nish, before painting.
Soy can Is G'.t.od
Food For Stock
Acreage Grown in Canada In-
creasing, Says Department of
Agriculture
Re:.ent increases in the soybean
acreage In Canada has resulted
from the large number of small
patches grown by individual farm-
ers for home consumption. In most
cases the rrop is grown to matur-
ity with the intention of feeding
the beans to livestock.
30 - 40 PERCENT PROTEIN
Soybean seed normally contains
from 30 to 40 per cent of protein
and compares favorably in feeding
value with other concentrated feeds,
such as linseed and cotton seed oil
meal, states the Division of Forage
Plants, Dominion Experimental
Farms Service. The growing of soy-
bean seed for feed will produce. at
a moderate cost, the high protein
concentrate necessary for stook
feeding and milk produ.ctton, The
amount et soybeans included in the
grain ration of dairy cows is usual-
ly around 15 per cent, but thie will
vary somewhat according to the
kind of hay that is being fed. The
beans should be mixed with the
other grain previous to grinding,
as the high oil content of soybeans
makes them difficult to grind alone.
Soybeans bay is about equal to.
alfalfa hay in feeding value, ac-
cording to both feeding tests and
chemical analysis. It is customary
to cut the hay at the time when the
pods are about half filled out.
Soybean straw from threshed soy
beans, while not high in feeding
value, has been used satisfactorily
as a roughage for wintering dry
cows and beef cattle. It is else
good roughage for sheep.
A Postage Stamp
Ten Inches Long
China has the biggest pestage
stamp of any country in the
world. Some time ago it issued
a stamp ten inches long and two
and five-eighths inches wide, the
cost of which is only ten cents.
Sending a letter with this
stamp is always a complicated
and lengthy process. One hands
the letter and stamp to the clerk
behind the post office counter.
He snips two inches off, and
hands this back as a receipt. An-
other portion of two inches is
kept in the post office as the of-
ficial receipt..
The remaining six inches are
pinned on the letter.. On arrival
at the office of delivery, another
two inches are taken off and re-
tained in the office file. Thea
two more inches are sent back
from the office of delivery to the
original post office, whence the
letter was despatched, to ahow
that it has been safely received.
Buried for thirty-six hours in
the debris of a four -storey house
in London, a dog emerged unhurt
from his ordeal.
