How Can I?
BV ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I treat rougl
hands?
.A. Rub plenty of almond
cream into the skin just before
retiring, and then slip on a pair
of old loose gloves. If this is 11ot
effective, try using camphor ice
instead of the cream. •
Q. How can I treat scratched
an;,ilogany furniture?
A. Before polishing mahog-'
any furniture that has been
soh etched rather deeply, fill in
the scratches with tincture of
iodine. Then apply the wax or
poli h and the scratches will be
paaetically invisible.
t4. How cat: I clean out a dis-
co!':ed vase or cruet?
A. Pour a little household
aminenia in the container and
allow to stand for a while, Shake
thcraughly until: all the sediment
is loosened, alai then rinse with -
wz,rIu water.
Q. How ruts I most easily
wads the bear: pot, or badly
tailed casserole?
A. The bei` method is to .put a
handful of borax into it, fill with
hot, water an,, allow to stand in
the oven for a while. The brown-.
ed parts will then wash out very
ea, iiy.
Q. How can I put the cover
on my ironing board more
smoothly?
A. Before putting on the
cover, damper: it. Then when the
cover dries it `shrinks a little and
will consequently fit smoothly.
Survived Under Ice
Pulled teenier river ice after
falling iron' a darn, Truman
Wood, 66, of Napanee, Ont., tra-
welled many feet through the icy
water then bobbed up through a
Syrian hole hardly large enough
to permit his escape. He was
pulled out by fellow-workets and
after •recover;ng his breath walk-
ed home evithout any apparent
ill-effects.

Zebras Are Cheap ,
There is no market so unstable
as that for wild creatures. When
a writer last visited the headquar-
ters of a London, (Eng.) dealer
he was told he could have a fine
dromedary for $300, but would
have to pay $2,500 for a giraffe.
A Chapman's zebra was priced at
$700 and a South African hunting
dog at $200.
Claw -footed frogs were 5
dolars apiece; starred lizards
$10. Texas rattle -snakes — the
"side winders" of Wild West
stories — were $20 apiece, and
a deadly Cerastes viper could be
had, at the same price. A Mog-
ador hunting falcon, a splendid -
looking bird, cost $25" but a black -
headed manakin — a brightly
coloured tropical bird—was pric-
ed at only $1.25.

A new clerk was always late, and
always had a different excuse.
Arriving an hour late one morn-
ing, he was greeted by the boss
with:
"Well, Brown, what's your
story this time?"
"Well sir," was the reply.
"someone turned the mirror on
the mantlepiece - round to the
wall. When I came downstairs
this morning I couldn't see my-
self in the looking -glass, and, na-
turally, I thought I'd gone to
work !"
"You win!" gasped the man-
ager. ,

The after dinner speaker,
touching on the advantages
of co-operation, said:
"Now take freckles. Think
what a nice shade of tan
they'd make if they would
only get together."

A man entered a barber's shop
for a haircut. The barber men-
tioned that his client's hair was
getting thin on top.
"Why not try a little of my
wonderful hair restorer?" he
urged. "It's only a quarter."
The customer bought a bottle.
A week later he returned to the
shop. -
"Well," asked the barber, "how
did you find the hair restorer?"
"I left the bottle on the kit-
chen table, and my wife, think-
ing it was a new ekind of furni-
ture polish, started to use it,"
he said. "How much do you
charge to shave a sideboard?"

While Mrs, MacPherson wan
bending over .the washtub, rub-
bing and scrubbing, there came
a timid knock at the back door.
Angry at the interruption,
Mrs. M. flung open the door and
stood with steaming hands on
hips, eyeing a sad little pedlar.
"Did you want to see me?" she
demanded.
The little man took a quick
step backwards.
"Well, if I . did," he replied
meekly,• "I've got my wish, thank
you,"
"Pm afraid 1 .can't afford'

"No?"
"No, 1 guess 1'11 have to

Swiss Ski School
Opening at Jasper
"Sid fans of Canada will be
interested in the feet that a Swiss
ski school will be opened at
Maligne Lake on March 6th, this
year, and Peter Vajda, the fa-
mous Swiss ski instructor, will be
in charge, Ile will be assisted
by Gertie Wepsala, former Can-
adian Women's Champion.' ac-
cording to Major Fred Brewster,
noted mountain guide and out-
fitter of Jasper, who was in
Winnipeg last week for a few
days. Major Brewster " stated
that .snow conditions in the Mal-
igne area were perfect and many
fine ski experts already had been
in this winter. „.
Appeasing Demons
Some of the most picturesque'
New Year ceremonies in the
world are to be seen in Bali,
Dutch East Indies, where time
seems to stand still. The people
are quite simple and unspoilt and
their- belief hi demons and gods
remains unchanged. On New -
Year's morning the temples are
decorated by the girls of the vil-
lage, and women, 4neeling three
times, throw the sacred hibiscus -
blossom, which Is held between
their palms, to invisible gods.
Then the pick of the year's co.
conut and banana crops is
brought to the temples for the
use of the priests. Later, demons
and evil spirits are appeased, and
each village has a procession in
which masks and effigies are car-
ried. It is supposed that the evil
spirits, faced by their grim coun-
terparts, will vanish in fear dur-
ing the New Year.
"Auld Lang Syne," the most
famous New Year song in the
world, was composed by Robert
Burne in 1789 as an example of
an old Scottish song. The words
were set to the present familiar
tune about ten years later,

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBER'CA LEE
1. Should children be taught
what some people call "company
manners" ?
2. When a hostess knows that
a guest is dieting, isn't it incon-
siderate for her to insist that the
guest eat more than she de-
sires?
3. Is it permissable to ask a
friend to introduce you to other
people?
4. Isn't it proper, when shak-
ing hands, to hold the hand at
about chin level?
5. Should every guest at a
wedding reception congratulate
the bride and bridegroom?
6. Isn't it nice and thoughtful
fora husband to send his wife a
valentine?
Answers
1. No. They should be taught
that good manners are for daily
use in the home, office, and on
the street, as well as when in the
presence of company. 2. Yes.
Whether the guest is dieting or
not, a hostess should never urge
that she eat more than she de-
sires. 3. Never, unless you are
sure the meeting would be a mu-
tual pleasure. 4. No; this is af-
fection. The hand should be
slightly above the waist level.
5. The bridegroom should be
congratulated, but not the bride.
One should extend best wishes
for happiness to the bride.
6. Yes. He may send one of the
pictured kind or it may be candy
or flowers.

ATMOSPHERIC SUN TIDES
K, G. Meldahl has published
in Copenhagen a book in which
he presents conclusions from
studies of tides in the etmcs-
phere of the sun, which he as-
cribes to gravitational disturban-
ees produced by the planets. The
planets studied were Mercury,
Venus, the Earth, Jupiter and
Saturn. The first three are
small planets, but relatively close
to the sun, while the latter two
are very large, but at consider-
able distances. The half periods
of the planets and the combina-
tion of their effects were studied'
with reference to positions on the
sun's surface and not to space
co-ordinates. Allowance was
made for the rotation of the sun
and the manner in which dis-
turbances move on its surface.
He reports that the tidal effects
give a curve which corresponds
to the curve of the sun -spot
cycle. The cycle has a length
of about 11.25 years which cor-
responds to the sun -spot cycle.

TOPICS
Early .Symptoms
Of Tuberculosis
In an article written for
"Health", official organ of the
Health League of Canada, short-
ly before his death last month,
the late Dr. J. W. S. McCullough
defines the early symptoms of
tuberculosis as:
Being too easily tired,
Loss of weight,
Indigestion, and
A cough that hangs on.
Pleurisy may be one of the
first signs of tuberculosis in ad-
ults, as may be a spitting of
blood, however slight. Nervous-
ness, disturbed sleep and a run-
down condition are all symptoms
to be suspected.
The tubercle bacillus is passed
from person to person in various
ways, Dr. McCullough points out.
The consumptive who coughs
with uncovered mouth sprays the
air around hint with the bacilli.
If he spits on the floor or side-
walk the germs are likely to be
mixed with dust and blown about
for others to breathe. Bacilli may
be deposited on a spoon, drink-
ing cup, pipe or other article held
in the mouth of a victim. If
these are used without a thor-
ough cleansing by a healthy per-
son, he may contract the disease
as a result.
BY WAY OF PREVENTION
Unpasteurized milk, if taken
from a tuberculous cow, is like -
]y to infect the drinker. A tu-
berculous mother who kisses her
"It DOES taste good in p piper'
BANDY SEAL*TIGHT POUCH—i5t
"LOK.TOP" TIN -6R
eho parked in Pocket Tins
bbay on the mouth is almost sure
to pass the (dense on to the child.
By way of prevention, Dr. Mc-
Cullough urged that children of
school or pre-school age, students
in secondary schools and workers
be examined periodically by a
T.B. expert.
There is no serum, vaccine or
medicine that will cure tubercul-
osis, and patent medicines are
likely only to make matters
worse, Dr. McCullough declares;
but tuberculosis may be cured if
taken in time, and the one rem-
edy whieh has stood the test of
time is complete rest in bed.
He urges the sanatorium as the
best place for the treatment of
the tuberculous patient, not only
because he will receive expert
and unceasing care, but because
he will be no longer a danger to
his family and associates.
Seed, Nursery Book
Better Than Ever
We have received a copy of
their 1941 Seed and Nursery Book
from the Dominion Seecl House of
Georgetown, Ont., which is a
credit to this popular Canadian
firm, It is one of the most com-
prehensive of its kind we have
even seen and full of use and in-
structive information. It contains
over a hundred pages, profusely
illustrated, including many beau-
tiful reproductions in full colors
and meets every demand for flow-
er and vegetable seeds and other
gardening requirements. This out-
standing example of Canadian
print -craft will be a boon to both
professional and amateur garden-
ers. A copy will be sent prompt-
ly by the Company to anybody on
request.

RECTAL SORENESS
AND PILE AGONY
QUICKLY RELIEVED
Ii you are troubled with itching
piles or rectal soreness do not delay
treatment and run the risk of letting
this condition become chronic. Any'
itching or soreness or painful pass-
age of stool is nature's warning
that proper treatment should be
seemed at once.
For this purpose get a package
of Flem-Roid from your druggist
and use as directed. This Hem -Road
formula which is used internally
in the form of a small, easy to take
tablet, ¶iii quickly relieve the itch-
ing and soreness and aid in heal-
ing the sore tender spots. Hem -Reid
is pleasant to use, is highly recom-
mended and it seems the height of
folly for any one to risk a painful
and chronic pile condition when such
a fine remedy may be had at so
reasonable a cost.
If you try Hem -Role and are not
entirely pleased with the results.
your druggist will gladly return
