Visiting Banff Springs Hotel a mile above sea level, they toured the Columbia Icefields Highway, had lunch at charming Lake Louise and saw big game scampering freely beside the roads over which they motored. "This great holiday land will be visited this year by record numbers of Americans," they prophesied to Deputy -Minister W. D. King, Major P. J. Jennings, Banff Park Superintendent, and other government officials who greeted them at the mountain resort. In the above photograph, in addition to govern - anent officials, are representatives of New York, Minneapolis, Pitts- burg, Chicago, Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Spokane and other big newspapers who visited. Canada as guests of the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association. —C•P.R. Photo, ,AVE W After recovering slightly from the shock of the budget in Lon- don, one employer called his staff together and explained that there must be further reductions in wages. "It means we shall all have to tighten our belts," he ended. Then after a moment's pause, he turned to a junior clerk, who did not ap- pear to be listening. "Do you understand what I'm saying, Smith?" "Yes, sir," replied Smith, "but it's no good telling me that. My belt broke at the budget before last," Mrs. Style: "I want a hat, but it must be in the latest style." Shoptman: "Kindly take a chair, madam, and wait a few minutes; the fashion h just changing." Three little boys were boasting of the abilities of their respective fathers. Said one: "My father's a mu- eician, and when he composes a song, he gets, five dollars for it." "That's nothing," said the sec- ond. "My father's an author, and when he writes an article, he gets ten dollars for it." ""Well," said the third boy, "my father's a minister, and when he ]preaches a sermon, it takes six poen to carry the money up to Imre." d'What part of a motor -car causes the most accidents?" "The nut that holds the 'wheel." A boy had fallen into a river and the kind old lady stopped until he was safely on the bank. ""How did you come to fall in?"• she asked. ""I didn't cone to fall in," he said, "I came to fish" I wish that I could make rule That every moth must go to school And learn from some ex- perienced mole To make a less conspleu- ous hole. —Dunnville Chronicle Three Canadian soldiers sleep- ing in a tent in an English camp were awakened by a terrific crash not far away. "What was that—thunder or bombs?" asked one of then. "Bombe," was the laconic answer. "Thank Heaven for thatl" tihimed in the third. "I thought We were going to have more rain." eiligerent debase Even the meek field mouse be - seems belligerent in this war 1vaged world, says D. J.

Officials said it is the first and only government-sponsored dis- play of its kind to leave Britain. FIRST TO LEAVE BRITAIN The exhibit is expected to in- clude a Messerschmitt 109 fighter shot down over Britain, a com- plete escape apparatus taken from a captured German submarine, technical parts from shot -down Junkers and bombers and Messer- schmitt fighters. One section will display relics from bombed Buck- ingham Palace, Westminster Ab- bey, St. Paul's Cathedral, the British House of Commons and old Westminster Hall. The proceeds from admission fees paid to see the exhibit will be turned over to a British war fund. 1 =®► Can 1? BY ANNE ASHLEY 1 Q. How can 1 remove the dis- agreeable odor that dish towels and cloths sometimes acquire? A. Add a little ammonia to the water when washing them, and they will again become fresh and clean. Q.. How can I drive away red ants? A. Pour liquid eorrosive sub- limate on pieces of cotton and lay the cotton where the ants are likely to travel. Another effec- tive remedy is alum dissolved in boiling water and applied with a brush. Q. How can I ,relieve perspir- ing hands? A. Try applying two or three times a day, or at least nightly, an astringent lotion consisting of one part boracic acid to twenty parts of water, and then dust with talcum powder. Q. How can I soften brown sugar and make it easier to mea- sure? A. Place it in a flat baking pan and put into the oven for a few minutes. However, this must be watched closely to prevent burning. Q. How can 1 remove berry stains from the fingers? A. Moisten some cornmeal with vinegar and rub over the stains. They will disappear. In a film of the last war recently made in Hollywood, "extras" pro- tested against playing German parts until they were offered ex- tra pay for the "unpleasant" parts. �T;bPP�O .�,Q✓ref 1' Mon• b�c ar k I T c . / quick telieffroat itcbtntj of implea, s lett',fent,ecslen,eesbiee,ree1eern aU�lihr��u'c`ta4iauy canned *kin trosbl , um fent-ectinfh acrglinl, flog&: septic, Ikeda D.

Sognnaes, of the Univer- sity of Rochester (N.Y.) School of Medicine and L'entistry. Rats were kept on a diet of coarse corn, which is deficient in a num- ber of dietary essentials and long has been recognized as a produc- er of caries. Studies were made., of the manner in which the decay processes affected the rats' teeth Part of the original group was kept as a controland received. normal diet. At the end of two months the teeth of these rats were examined and a surprising change was discovered. The Cav- ities were filled and presented a polished appearance. —0— GOLD HALTS ARTHRITIS Treatment of arthritis, a de- forming disease of joints, by in- jection of a treatment of gold has halted the destructive process of the disease in '70 per cent of cases but no cure is known, Dr. Wallace Graham of Toronto told the Can- adian Medical Association annual convention. The injections are made in the .hip. _e— ANTI-BLOOD CLOT FLUID Two Swedish physicians re- ported last month that heparin, a substance that keeps blood from clotting, helps prevent throm- bosis, which at times causes death or prolonged disability af- ter operations. In thrombosis, which some- times develops after surgeries, a clot or plug forms in a blood vessel or heart cavity. The physicians gave the drug to 325 patients after surgery and not one of them developed throm- bosis.

WELL WORM/ TR'lt'TNSII Could women build a more peace - IQ world than men? "After the war," says British author 3. B. Priestley, "it is u•p to the women to assert themselves a little more in. public and .a little less in priv- ate rivate . , . The male delights in destruction and in making destruc- tive gadgets, Those twin delights must be tempered by feminine in- fluence in the future." Stout words, I thought, so 1 took his statement to Fannie Hurst, American author and feminist, and leaked for her ideas on the subject, writes Adelaide Kerr, New York columnist, Miss Hurst settled back on a sofa in her crimson -curtained 15th cen- tury Spanish drawing room and shake M a soft, low voice. "A great indictment faces the reale. He has made a colossal fail- ure.• A man must always save his -face. Watch a man drive a car. • He'd rather drive into a jungle than ask the way; rather go blind- ly forward than admit he doesn't know. "Men have always been war - makers. Women, on the other hand, bane always fought war and sought for peace for years through peace moves and petitions. It's true their attitude has been somewhat senti- mental. The fact remains, however that in spite of their efforts, wo- men have failed to produce peace." Price Of Tea .. is Up Again Cost is Now Several Cents More to Consumer Except Where Old Stock is Still Being Sold — Shipping Space Lack Blamed Canadian housewives, seeking to replenish the family supply of tea this week, found that the price of this household commodity had been boosted from five to ten cents a pound more. Reason for the increase in price, according to wholesale and retail tea houses in Toronto, was the lack of shipping facilities, combin- ed with the higher insurance rates and higher cost of the product at its source. It was stated that more than 1,000,000 Pounds of tea from India and Ceylon had been destroyed while en route to Canada in the past year. Because. of the increased con- sumption of tea In the Brifigli"I-s' et, many shipments, originally destin- ed for Canada and other countries, have been detoured there. Grocers will continue to sell their tea at the original prices only so song as the old supplies remain available. All tea purchased since the first of July from wholesale houses, however, is being sold at the higher prices.

Manitoba Dccior Reports It Reduces Eleatl) Rate in Sant atorium Dr. Herbert Meltzer of Ninette Sanatorium declares that modern surgery in treating tuberculosis patients is bringing enoouraging re- sults toward lowering the death rate and increasing the category of patients discharged as improved or better. 115 PATIENTS IMPROVED Speaking before the section of surgery at the Canadian Medical Association's 72nd annual conven- tion, Dr. Meltzer outlined results of a six-year survey among 181 pa- tients at the sanatorium in Nin- ette Man., southwestern Manitoba.
