Ten Poznters On
Warding Of Colds
Nothing makes a person feel
iraore aged than a bad cold and
these recurrent maladies lower
the state of health and set the
stage for more serious illness.
We should do everything we can
to avoid them.
Here are a few simple rules
q;athered from many sources,
writes Josephine Lowmn in the
Toronto Globe and Mail:
1. Eat simply. Do not stuff,
end avoid overindulgence in the
carbohydrate foods.
2. At times of mental and
-emotional stress watch out for
n cold..
3. Don't keep your house too
hot or too dry. Don't dress too
warmly. Take cold showers and
salt rubs if you react to them
happily. -
4. Avoid loss of sleep. When
you can't help it, then make it
es,„„np the next night. Many nights
when you are shortchanged on
sleep will almost surely find you
with -a cold.
5. Eat enough of the alkalin
forming foods so that your sys-
tem will not be too acid.
6. If you are subject to sinus
or ear trouble, wear a hat when
you go out into the cold.
7. Gargle with cold salt water
daily. The salt is a disinfectant
and the cold water conditions
the membranes to damp air.
8. Spend as much time as you
can in the sun and take halibut
or cod liver oli in the winter
time. Give special attention to
your v'
'9. Drink eight glasses of wat-
er a day.
10. If you have fever or a sore
throat be sure to see doctor. Neg-
lected colds may become serious
and early advice will save trouble
later.
The value of work performed
by power laundries and cleaning
.and dyeing establishments in
Canada .during 1039 totalled
$22;926.,474.

Boxcar Houses
Smallest Library
The little town of Colmer,
N.M., population 75 persons,
claims to have the smallest lib-
rary • in the world -the only
library in a boxcar - and the
only library paid for with pen-
nies. Several women launched
a drive for a mile of pennies
to build a library. With the Pen-
nies they purchased a, boxcar,
moved it to a vacant lot, and in-
stalled some books. Today the
library has more than 1,700 vol-
umes.

TELEVISION RESEARCH
COSTLY
Although television may ap-
pear to be meaking slow progress,
a vast amount •of research is be-
ing done in this field. This is
indicated by the report of the U.S.
Federal Communications Com-
mission that more than $3,000,_
000 is to be spent in research by
those who received the ten licenit-
es for experimental television
work last month. This brings the
total to $3,000,000, the remaind-
er having been spent on more
than thirty earlier licensed pro-
jects.

SEWAGE GASES DRIVE
BUSES
Stockholm is producing some
of its own motor fuel from an
unusual source: its sewage -dispos-
al plants are designed so methane
gas can be recovered from their
operations. Each of the disposal
plants produces 3,500 cubic met-
ers of methane every twenty-four
hours. This is compressed into
steel drums and'.is now being
used as motor fuel for forty
buses. One .cubic meter of the gas
is the equivalent, in power pro-
duction, of 1.8 liters (about two
quarts) of gasoline.

BLACKOUTBY LIGHT
The blacking out of :a city for
air raid protection without pull-
ing down .a window shade is pos-
sible by use of lighting experi-
ments being .conducted at Sche-
nectady, N.Y.
By putting one color light
against another in the window
glass scientists hope to neutralize
or "black out" the rays so they
are invisible, or nearly so, frim
the othee side of the window.
Goose's Breeding
Ground Found
A mystery in North American
ornithology has been solved with
the discovery of the breeding
grounds of Rose .goose in the
A retie,
For 80 years all Arctic explor-
ers and hunters have sought the
breeding grounds. Two I-Iudson'ts
Bay Company post managers, An-
gus Gavin and Ernest Donovan,
were successful this past summer.
They found the birds nest on
Wands in an unnamed lake at the
head of an unsnapped tributary
of the Perry River, about 25
miles southeast of its mouth in
Chester Day, Queen Mande Gulf
on the. Arctic Ocean.
Production of motor vehicles
in Canada during the first ten

units, including 87,659 passenger

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. When you are a guest in a
home, where the habit seems to
be to keep the radio on all the
time, would it be all right to ask
that it be turned off?
2. What is the proper way to
use a finger bowl?
3. Should one ever ask per-
sonal questions of acquaintances?
4. Isn't it wrong for a per-
son to thrust words of condol-
ence upon you when this person
kows that you would rather pre-
fer not to discuss your sorrow?
5. Is it good form for a per-
son to talk at Iength about his
health?
6. How long should a bride
remain at her wedding reception?
Answers
1. Yes. Do not hesitate to do
so. This is a habit which is very
annoying to guests, as well as to
neighbors, and also inconsider-
ate. 2. Dip the fingers of one
hand at a time, not both together,
into the water; then dry them
with the napkin on the knees.
3. Never. The Majority of
people resent being asked per-
sona questions. 4. Yes. As Ros-
aeau says, "Consolation indis-
creetly pressed upon us, when we
are suffering under affliction,
only serves to increase our pain,
and to render our grief more
poignant." 5. No. This is very
tiresome to the persons who must
listen and show interest. 6. Not
longer than two hours.
Shrewd Farmers
I'm often shocked over hoe:
little I remember of all I was
supposed to learn in school writes
Fred C. Kelley in "Your Life
Magazine." About all I recall
from a course in economics is one
Iittle paragraph in which the
author sought to illustrate how a
plan intended to accomplish one
thing inay often have an entirely
opposite effect. In a western
county wolves were destroying
so many sheep that a 'reward of
$5 a head was offered for every
wolf killed. The result was that:
shrewd farmers started to l:;sl"**
wolves."
Indian Crafts
Make Progress
Progress in Indian handicraft
industries on reserves in Eastern
Canada is reported by the Indian: .
Affairs Branch, Department of
Mines and Resources. Many tradi-
tional arts and crafts have been
revived, and the sales• of theft' "
handicraft products are tending to
make the Indian people More self-
supportiug. As a step towards the
extension of these home industries
among the Indians of Western Can-
ada, six Iudlian workers from On-
tario and Quebec are at present
taking part in a demonstration of
Indian handicraft at the Winnipeg
store of the Hudson's Bay Com-
pan'Jlui
USEFUL ARTICLES
Articles on display and for sale
at this exhibit include baskets,
wood carvings, woven and knitted
goods, and other Indian -made mer-
chandise. The tribal custom of
meking beautiful articles from
splints pounded from black ash
log; and woven with sweet grass
from the marshes is being demon-
strated by noted basket makers.
Although their craft is an ancient
one, these Indian wa:kcrs have ad-
apted themselves to making artic-
les which are useful today. These
include sewing stands, work bas-
kets of all types, knitting bags,
waste baskets, shopping. boxes,
fruit trays, and other similxf items.
For the children there are tiny
cradles, papoose dolls, canoes,
tomahawks, paddies, paper knives,
bows and arrows, and other artic-
les.
