Canned Potatoes
Latest Addition
What is believed to be the only
white potato canning plant in the
etworld is now located at Palatka,
Florida, in the heart of Florida's po-
tato belt. After many years of ex-
perimentation,
xiperimentation, the Northern Potato
Products Company has developed a
(process for canning the smallest of
new Irish potatoes. These potatoes
tformerly went to waste. Now, thanks
to the developments, the housewife
can serve new potatoes all the year
round. The potatoes are first blanch-
ed In very hot water. They are then
conveyed by the machines and drop-
ped into sterilized cans. Following
this, all air Is removed from the cans
and the machine seals them up. The
•new adaptation opens up a• different
field in the canning Industry. Pro-
ducts that may have been thrown
away or perhaps converted into potato
chips, will now be available in original
and wholesome form. The house-
wife will not need to worry about
serving her guests with black potatoes
in those seasons when new potatoes
are unavailable. Nothing seems to
displease the hostess more than Iarge
diseolcred spots and she has frequ-
,J ently attempted to use milk and
bleaching
substances added to the
'water in 'which the potatoes are boil-
ed in an effort to reduce discolora-
tion. Now that is no more.

Conan Doyle Tells
Story Against Self "AIL FOR THE SMALL SUM OF TEN CENTS!"
A story Conan Doyle used to love
to tell, for It was against himself--
he
imself—lie was that kind of aman—had to
with a lecture he was about to de-
liver on one et his tours over here.
At tie last minute the man who wa
to have introduced him was unabl
to be present. and another loco
worthy was hurriedly pressed int
service. He did right nobly until
the critical atomeet arrived. Then
he faltered, pulled himself together
and proceeded
"And now, ladies and gentlemen,
it is my great pleasure and:privilege
to introduce to you Canon Doyle, the
eminent divine:"
Another yarn harked back to the
time when Sherlock Iiolme's was all
the rage. Arriving 4n Paris one day,.
'Conan Doyle hailed `a cabman to drive

"Dr. Doyle,". said Cabby, who knew
Lie fare. "I perceive teem your ap-J
pearanoe that you have'recently been
in Constantinople. f have reason tol
think also that you have been in
Buda, and I percel+ve some indication
that you were not far from Milan."
"Wonderful!"" exclaimed Doyle.
t"Five francs for the'secret of how!
you did It"
'i looked at the labels pasted' on
your trunk," said cabby,
Close to forty years ago when Conan
Doyle made his 'first visit over here'
he struck up a •frtendshlp with James
Whitcomb Riley and Eugene Fleld
that •endured for manly years,tri fact,
until, as he put it, "I am the only
.one left." And mow he's gone.
"I well remeniber my first meeting

American Adventure"). "Hel sat

Conan Doyle +always expressed re-

—they did not meet until later—and
so did Field, as is apparent 'from a

What to Do if You Find Your -
Tests in Year 1
Washington — Examinations for c
pilots' licenses by the aeronautics i C
1 branch of the U.S. Department of h
Commerc4 during the fiscal year end- t
ed June 30, 1930, Increased 54 per
cent. over those of the fiscal year
1929, according to Clarence M. Young,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for
aeronautics.
The total for the last year, 43,902,
is more than the combined figure of
all the years since the organization
of the branch in 1926, Mr. Young re- 1
ported, since up to the beginning of n
the year just ended, the total num- b
ber of examinations stood at 37,447.
The examinations are divided into
three groups; those for transport and
limited commercial pilots, for indus-
trial pilots, and for private pilots, ac-
cording to the report. Of the total
made last year, 25,041 were of indi-
viduals taking their first examina-
tions for pilots' licenses, including
both students and trained pilots. The
number of pilots and students re-
examined for the same grade of
license which they held prior to the
time of examination totaled 12,402.
Guard Baby's Health
in the Seer
self in This Condition.
The sort of thing that speeialists
all nervous debility is the run-down
ondition caused by over -work and
ousehold worries. The sufferers find
hemselves tired, low-spirited and un-
able to keep their mind on anything.
Any sudden noise startles and sets the
heart palpitating violently. They can-
not sleep well at night; their hands
tremble and legs seem unable to sup-
port them. Such a condition is indeed
pitiable.
Doctoring the nerves with sedatives
s a terrible mistake. The only real
erve tonic is a supply of good red
food. Therefore the treatment far ner-
vousness and run-down health is Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, which promptly
build up and enrich the blood. The
revived appetite, the strengthened
nerves, improved spirits and new
strength which come after a source of
these pills will delight every sufferer.
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.
The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. The complaints
of that season, which are cholera in-

come on so quickly that often a little
one is beyond aid before the mother
realizes he Is ill. The mother must be
on her guard to prevent these troubles,
or if they do come on suddenly to ban-
Ish them. No other medicine is of
such aid to mothers during hot weath-
er as Baby's Own Tablets. They re-
gulate the stomach and bowels and
are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine

What Ice to Use in Drinks
One very.often hears stories about
the relative purity of artificial ice
when compared with natural ice. One
also hears youngsters proclaiming
that the white areas. in artifiicial ice
areimpurities,
br tha artificial t it ficial' ice
has an ammonia odor about it. Ordin-
arily, artificial ice is much better
than natural .ice for.use in cooling
drinks. While ice is generally crack-
ed up and dropped into the liquid to
be cooled, the practice is not to be
generally recommended. This is
not because the manufactured ice is
impure when made, but because while
it is being handled, delivered or'other-
wise carried, it is subject to contact
with hands not altogether clean. Yoa
have often watched ice cakes slip.
from grasp and fall into unclean
places from which the cakes were
1
recovered, and then placed in your.
refrigerator without even an attempt
at removal of the. dirt. In this red
spec-, the tee made by your artificial
refrigerator is far superior to mann
£aetured ice, the water for whioh
may be even filtered four or live
times. Homemade ice is not sub-
ject to much handling.

Cracks in Doors
When cracks become apparent in
dark -stained doors of newly built

in a little boot polish, when the cracks
will no longer be visible.

i CHRISTMAS SIDNEY EA S I L Y,
The following has ween prepared b
the Child Hygiene Section, Canadian
Courteil of Child Welfare.
Whin we read of thirty babies dy
ing in twelve hours, we ars. forced t
think, "Why cannot something �e
done?"
When we realize that net only
thirty bnbies died, but that every
twelve: hours during 1925, Canada lost
thirty infants under one year of age,
a total of 21,195 liver, we tisk our-
selves, "Why did they dte? e'ou:d
they have been saved:"
Some cf the chief causes of theee
deaths, aceordit.g to the Ptin ni 4n
Bureau of Statistics,. are: Premature
Births and Injuries at Birth—:1.56 e:
Diarrhoea, Dysentery and Diseases
the Stomach -4,144: Congenital Mai-
formations and Disablitt 3,U3t;
Bronchitis and Pneuti ar ,-2 334:
