Apply a mixture of one part vinegar to two parts linseed oil. Q. How can I bleach white clothes? A. Try this idea. Save all your egg shells for a week, and on washday put them into a salt bag and place in the boiler with the white clothes. The lime contained in the shells acts as a splendid bleach, and the clothes will be snowy white. Q. How can I restore pearl buttons to their original bright- ness? A. First rub the buttons with a little olive oil to take away the blurred appearance. Then sprinkle with nail powder and rub well with chamois skin. Q. How can I clean balling dishes and pans? A. Soak the dishes and pans in hot water to which washing soda has been added. Use one tablespoon of soda dor each quart of water required to fill the ar- • tide. Q. How can I pull threads from Iinen much more easily? A. Before attempting to pull the threads from linen, run a damp cloth along the line where the thread is to be pulled. It will pull out much more easily while the cloth is damp. o d r t, vette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. If you are introduced to a person for the second time and he or she doesn't seem to remem- ber the introduction, what should you say? 2. What phrase should be lased if one does not wish to use 3. Is it correct to serve a wedding "breakfast" if the cere- mony takes place at three o'clock in the afternoon? 4. Is it bad form to applaud loudly in a theatre? 5. Where should the candles be placed on the buffet supper table? 6. Should a hostess always extend her hand to a roan, when being introduced to him? Answers 1. Don't embarrass the per- son by saying, "Why, I met you at such and such a place." Mere- ly say, "How do you do?" Nor should you feel hurt or slighted and accuse the person of being a snob. It might just be forget- fulness, something of which we are all guilty at one time or an- other, 2. If one prefers to use English words, write "The favor of a reply is requested." 3. Yes; if the ceremony takes place be- fore four o'clock the refresh- ments are spoken of as a "wed- ding breakfast." This is an Eng- lish term used for any daytime wedding feast. 4. Yes. Ap- plause that is protracted or too loud is in very bad taste. And if you happen to be the only one applauding, it is time to stop. 5. This depends upon whether single candlesticks or candelabra, are used. An attractive decoration is to place a single candlestiek at each of the four corners ol the centrepiece of flowers. 6. Yes; it shows friendliness and cordis alit y.

Novice classes are scheduled to be run on Saturday morning for Setters and Pointers and also for Spaniels. In past years these novice trials have, brought out some excellent "dark horse" performers. The programme for Saturday, October 13th, includes three trials for Setters and Pointers and three trials for working spaniels. The trials for Setters and Pointers in- clude a Shooting Dog Stake, a Nov- ice Stake and' an Open Derby, and for spaniels a Puppy stake, for puppies under two years, a Novice Stake and an Open All Age Stake. Setters and Pointers will con- tend on October 19th, in an Open All Age Stake and later in the On- tario Championship Stake, restrict- ed to Ontario -owned dogs. The open stakes will, as usual, have entries from the United States. Entry forms may be obtained from George W. Boag, Woodstock, Ont., secretary of the Association. It is hoped, Mr. Boag says, that owners of untried dogs ;will be well represented in the novice events. The novice trials are restricted to novice dogs and novice handless and it is these trials which pro- mote the work of the association. in fostering interest in gun dogs and their training for field work. Headquarters for the trials will be at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Niagara -on -the -Lake and roads sur- rounding the town will be marked to enable spectators to locate the trial courses with ease. Air Training Plan Will Be Doubled Air Minister Power disclosed recently that the British Com- monwealth Air Training Plan will be extended until the number of schools and airdromes already constructed is almost doubled. He said that: 1. An exclusively French- Canadian squadron will be estab- lished overseas under a French- Canadian leader as soon as enough French-speaking person- nel are obtained, 2. Aviation offers young men an "almost unlimited field of ac- tivity" and after the war aviation will make "undreamed-of strides in our country." 3. Quebec will be called upon to play a "highly important part" in organization of air transport of the future; already the prov- ince is the terminal of trans-At- lantic flights. 4. The few unfinished schools previously planned for ' the air training plan will be opened with- in the next three weeks. Men of lnerrie England, as long ago as 1100, curled their hair and went hatless so that their coiffures might be seen and admixed. CONSTIPATED?

L L R:• I K A AT YOUR DRUG STORE 44/ a h,F: ci Is o i u:g THE "SULFA" FAMILY RAT• CURB ' Keeping rats away from stored grain with a "skunky";,smell that makes then afraid, is the feat accomplished by two chemists, Leonard A. Ford of .the Minns; sota State Teachers' Gollegi atter, Donald F. Clausen of' the Huh- bard Milling Company, says The Toronto Telegram. - The two chemists were con- fronted with the problem of keeping rats away from stored grain in sacks. They knew that rats fear skunks and ferrets and will leave the premises these predatory animals inhabit. They knew also the chemical basis of the strong musky odor of these two animals., It is a compound called n -butyl mercap- • tan. So they tried it out, first on the food of caged white rats. The rats refused the tesIsl.)--besse came restless and excited, . and even fought each other. They would not touch the ,food until the odor had disappeared. Then a search was made for a substance which would hold the odor for the longest possible time. Best out of a considerable list proved to be honey, which retained the scent up ;toeix months, well in excess of the time usually spent in storage by grain and commercial feedstuffs.' The only rats with noses so.. tough that they were not consist- ently repelled by . the ,n -butyl mercaptan were those ,on 'a city dump. The experimnters corijec":4'' ture that these anhnels had: be- come so used to the mercaptalie produced by the natural fermen- tation of garbage that the syn- thetic scent had relatively .little effect on them.

A Scotsman bought two tickets for a golden ballot, in which the first and only prize was a five - hundred -pound car. When the draw was made the Scot won the car. His friends rushed to his house to congratulate him, They found him with a long face and evident- ly dissatisfied. "Why, what's the natter?" they inquired. "Well, answered the new own- er of the car, "it's that second ticket that's troubling me. Why I ever bought it I can't think." The wife of a small farm- er sold her surplus butter to a grocer in a nearby town. On one occasion the grocer said, "Your butter was un- derweight last week." "Now, fancy that," said Mrs. Farmer. "Baby mislaid my weight that day, so I used the pound of sugar you sold me." "Is this the speedometer?" asked the pretty girl, tapping the glass with her finger. "Yes, dear," he replied. "And that's the clutch?" "That's the clutch, darling," he said, jamming on his brakes to avoid a fast -approaching lorry. "But what on earth is this?" she inquired, at the same time giving the accelerator a vigorous push with her foot. . - "This, dear," he said, in a soft, celestial voice, "is Heaven." And picking up a harp he flew away. The Irishman was relating his adventures in the• jungle. "Ammunition, food and whisky had run out," he said, "and we were parched with thirst." "But wasn't there any water?" "Sure, but it was no time to be thinking of cleanli- ness." A keen angler took a friend for a day's sport. The friend knew nothing of fishing, but de- cided to try his luck. After a long silence by the banks . of the stream, the novice said: • "I say, how much do those red things cost?" "You mean the floats? Oh, they're eheap. Why?" "I owe you for one. Mine's just sunk." .Italians In Africa i• ., eaten By Siege One of the last pockets of Ital- ian resistance in East Africa has ''been eliminated by the surrender of'the 4,000 -man Fascist force at Uolehefit, in the mountainous Gondar region of Ethiopia. The Italians acknowledged that this force, under siege for 164 days, laid down its arms after running out of food and supplies. This surrender, the War Office in England said, left only between 9,000 and 10,000 Italian and na- tive troops resisting in the Gon- dar region. qa4 TASTE•FLAVOUR• FRESHNESS• ECONOMY DIXIE PLUG HAS EVERYTHING Chain Of Airports In The Northland The "Northwest Passage By Air" along which will travel military and civilian aircraft of all sizes, speed and power, has been made available by the Dominion Govern- ment in a season of hard work. A flying journey of more than 2,000 miles in British Columbia., the Yukon and Alberta showed that the chain of airports built in the northland to Alaska now is ready for use, although not completed. Radio range stations have been installed at most of the fields and all will be so equipped this year. Airmen will be able to travel into the Far North assisted by iervices as complete as those on long-estab- lished air lines. Newly -constructed runways are already being used by large machines, both Canadian and American. The fields were built by the Transport Department under ar- rangement with National Defence Departments which had consulted with United States authorities. American airmen may travel this route to Alaska defence outposts free from the fog which often hampers flying along the coast. A modern transport machine can leave New Yark and fly to White- horse, Y. T., or Fairbanks, Alaska, landing only on fields where run- ways are good and of sufficient length. At present, the only inconven- ience the pilot feels is that radio range stations are not all com- pleted. Cost of the seven fields and equipment was estimated at $5,- 000,000. ,moo I Iodize your Livestock's .eed with IODORGOL-IODINE It helps to reach maximum in all Livestock production, simple to use - inexpensive.
