TAKE CARE OF YOUR CAMERA
Don't take the chance of missing fine snapshots like this because of a
camera in need d make tr. Have it a practice to keep It our camera that wut in ay. shape now
r EEPING his camera in good con-
lldition is always one of the priine
jobs facing every photographer. But
it's doubly important now. For just
as there is a scarcity of so many
other new goods, there is a
scarcity in some types of new
cameras. And that means we've all
got to take care of our present
cameras and make thein serve us
as long as we possibly can.
Keeping a camera operating
smoothly isn't diflleuit if you'll make
i1 habit of taking care of it. One of
the greatest enemies of any camera
is dirt, so clean your camera regu-
larly, inside and out. For that you'll
liitd a soft brush a•big help, or you
can 'actually bloW the dirt out with
a small rubber syringe—the kind
the druggist sells. Olean the lens
with soft cosmetic lens tissnds, or
the kind that eainera shops sell for
the purpose, or it you prefer you can
use a soft, clean tintless Cloth, Don't
ever try to take the 10118 apart—you
may damage it seriously.
Speaking of "don'ts" iii camera
care; don't try to oil or grease any
part of the camera. It doesn't netea
it. Next, don't ever try to force your
camera if it fails to operate properly;
or 1111 is broken, don't try to repair
it yourself. Those two items are
among the principal causes of hope-
lessly damaged cameras. If your
camera is badly stunk, or needs re-
pair, by all means take it to your
dealer, and let him plane it in
the hands of a competent camera
mechanic. And don't expose your
camera to the effects of sun, rain,
and sand.
Finally, it's a wise plan to send
any good camera back to the nano;
faoturer for cleaning and incidental
repairs at least one every two
years, And, keep it in 118 case al-
ways—for betterprotection. Taste
'Caro of Your camera and it will
never fail you when yotl're set to
make fine snapshots line this week's

TAKE A TIP
1. Place bullus, annuals and perm:
Male that are not hardly in a new
looation each year. " Do this for
insect and diseslse control,
2. Transplanting should be done in
use cool of the evening.
3. If your garden lei :shall you can-
not plant evelything. Sow seeds
best suited to the soil in your
garden and to the amount of
time you plan to spend on garden-
ing. iSow aseedls, of the vegetables
.that are easily stored: hardy win-
ter cabbage, late potatoes, onions,
carrots,, parnsspis, turnips, etc.
Plant your vegetables that are
harvested early in the same row
as the slomr-germinating seeds, i.e.:
plant radishes over rows at corny and
cucunnberts in, 'between potato hilly

Why Pay Tax On Colored Gas?
Now that gas for use in tractors
and' other farm machinery is colored.
no good reason is apparent why the
tax should be paid at time of pur-
Chase and later rebated to the buyer.
This practice necessitates a large
amount of clerical work at 'head -
quartette for no purpose and, worse
still, it takes from the producer
working capital of which he is al-
ways in. need. Before gas for farm
use was colored in Ontario it was
necessary to go tlu'ougli the routine
of keeping records and making a
declaration. Fanners' operating on. n
large ,scale complained ibitterly, in
many instances about lending th's
money to' the Government without
interest. That annoying situation
can now be remedied by simpiy
completing the transaction at the
time of purchase.

Maybe you think your small change cannot help : i i
that "total war" means "somebody else."
Maybe you're one of the thousands of housewives
who haven't yet started to put even 500 a week into
War Savings Stamps just a neutral...
There aren't any neutrals in this war! You're a herr
or a hindrance to victory. You can't get out of it. If
you spend thoughtlessly you'll deny our fighting forces
the arms they need and imperil your own future.
If you—and 2,000,000 other housewives in Canada—
put only 50¢ a week into War Savings Stamps, it
means $1,000,000 a week to help win the war. Which
aide are you on?
Buy War Savings Stamps from banks, post offices;
druggists, grocers and other retail stores.
