SUN STROKE VICTIMS
During very hot weather, most of
us try to keep out of the sun be-
eause we wish to avoid sunstroke,
but we should try to remember also
that heat exhaustion or heat pros-
tration m,ay occur in the home,
where we are shielded from the
rays of the sun. Sim stroke and heat
exhaustion are two different ail-
rents and require somewhat dif-
ierent treatment.
In sunstroke you mey feel tired
and dizzy before the regular symp-
toms occur. These are headache, a
feeling of oppression, sometimes a
tightness in the chest, great thirst,
restlessness, frequent desire to pass
urine, hot skin, a "sicky" feeling,
flushed face and high temperature,
finally unconsciousness.
Treatment in sunstroke is to lay
the patient in a pool, shady place,
off the ground if possible or on the
ground on newspapers or clothing
if no bench oa table is available.
Cold cloths are then applied to the
back of neck, face, and chest, cloth-
ing removed, body sprinkled with
water. The head should be kept up
high and patient fanned with a tow-
el or piece of clothing. When the
patient is able to swallow, some
cool water containing a pinch of
salt should be given.

in r

is travelling to praise his home
town constantly, describing how
superior it is to the town he is vis-
iting?
A. Yes. A person of good breeding
will never do this.

able for a woman to wear to a
luncheon party in a hotel?
A. Yes.
Q. Should a young girl be cau-

good principles you are not certain.'
This applies to young men as well
as girls.

Predict Rise
In Fertilizer
Twenty Per Cent. Price Gain
is Seen As Result of Present
War
The possibility of an increase of
at least 20 per cent. in the prices,
of fertilizer in Canada was seen
recently by G. E. Peart, plant pro-
ducts division, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
POTASH CAME FROM EUROPE
Addressing a Dominion -provincial
agricultural conference at its con-
cluding session Mr. Peart said the
expeoted price rise might start this
month and was caused by the war.
About one hall of the potash used
in. Canada for fertilizer came from
Europe prior to the war and now
Canada is almost totally dependent
on the United States for this mat-
erial, The discount on Canadian ex-
change together with the 10 per
cent. war exchange tax will tend
to boost prices, he said.

physician's report that potassium
gluconate tablets had given re-

Experiments conducted with
more than 100 patients over an

tunately not a cure."

Cheek Sail°rift
By Strip Farming
It's Being Done In Many Dif-
ferent Parts of the Prairie
Provinces
Considerable progress in the
drive against soil drifting was re-
ported last week to the national
advisory committee on a -ricultur-
al services by its section on soil
drifting.
The report said strip farming,
which checks the "loss of top -soil,
had been reported in many parts
of the Prairie Provinces.
MOSTLY IN SOUTHERN ALTA.
In 1935 only a very small
area in the Monarch district of
Southern Alberta was following
this practice but by 1940 it is
estimated that approximately 80
to 90 per cent of the farmers in
Southern Alberta are following
this practice while perhaps 60 per
cent of the farmers in South
Western Saskatchewan have ad-
opted it.
All Highway .1 bs
In Ontario Cease
Construction Work Stops For
The Duration
All highway construction all
throughout the province of Ontario
has ceased, carrying out Premier
.Hepburn'.s direction that all govern-
ment spending during the war must
be cut to a mininzuin. No more con-
tracts for highway construction are
to be let for the war's duration, the
Minister of Highways, Hon. T. B.
McQuesten, said last week due to
the policy of cutting all governmel t
spending to a minimum.
Contracts were terminated July
31, inclulling work on the Queen.
Elizabeth Way between Burlington
and Niagara Falls. Between 1,400
and 1,500 men had been employed
on this work, while near North Bay
and Sudbury a further 700 employ-
ed on smaller contracts have also
ceased work.
FIX HIGHWAY NO, 3 TURN
"It's the worst highway corner in.
Western Ontario," declared Mr, Me-
Questen in answering the protest
of a group of Delhi citizens, against
cost and necessity of widening a
turn south of Delhi on Highway No.
3. While those protesting the work
contended the cost is $190,000, Mr.
McQuesten explained the actual
cost is $10,000.
Mr. McQuesten said the work
would be proceeded with. and the
corner widened to remove a dang-
erous
angBrous right angle. It is a danger to
traffic, he explained, and has caus-
ed n.ay accidents. Mr. McQuesten
felt that the protest came from res-
idents who did not want their pro-
perties purchased by the depart-
ment of highways for use in widen-
ing.
