Cheese Is a Winter Food
Tle Milk Utilization Service of the
Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage
Branch has prepared the following
item with respect to the value of
cheese as a winter food: "Cheese is
an "ali-year-round" food but it us-
ed in larger amounts during the win-
ter rnonths when the body requires
extra heat, which must be obtained
from the food consumed."
"Cheese is a' valuable protein, an
important source of calcium, and, be-
cause of the high fat content, it is a
splendid energy -producer. In cook-
ing this food a low temperature and
a short length of tine should be used
in order to avoid toughening the pro-
tein."
Building New Cars
The current issue of the Cold Stor-
age News. Letter issued by the Dom-
inion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch
contains an item of• interest to Can-
adian agriculture. It says: "About
five hundred new cars are being built
at the present time by the Canadian
} railways; these cars will be especial-
• ly equipped for the carriage of meat
. and other. perishable commodities.
For meat they are equipped with
brine tanks, and the. novel feature is
that a `refrigimeter enables the in-
side temperature to be read without
opening the doors."
Father: "Now, young roan, you've
been coming. here quite a lot; what)
dir you wart with my daughter?"
Suitor: "Well, sir, you know' best
what you can afford."
"Ah, goods mornin', Mrs. Hennessy

Old English "Sport" of
Fox Hunting Endangered
Would England still be England,
Without its bunting rallies? Is this
sport of centuries, the merry chase of
elusive foxes, fated to die out?
It is unlikely that there is any fea-
ture of English country life so typical
of the customs and traditions of the
nation, as fox hunting, This being so,
a recent statement of the earl of Rose-
berg, on accepting the mastership of
the Whadden chase, that this sport is
in a very critical condition, came .rath-
er as a surprise. He declared that
lye neighboring packs are having dif-
ficulty in finding masters; and that
sportsmen must rally"around now, or,
see fox hunting'. go the way of hawk-
ing. His lordship ascribed the decline
to hard times and high taxation.
This might be considered bad news,
even for the foxes, for from accounts.
of this sport that i have read, it would
seem that the prey gets as much fun
out of eluding the huntsmen,as the
latter do in the galloping pursuit.
After some of these old wily masters
of the craft have learned the business,
their chances of becoming a mere
brush are comfortably few. Why, there
are even some of these old fellows
who pay visits to the kennels, if the
hunt is not up regularly, to see what
is keeping their little playmates! At
least that's the story told.—Border
Cities Star.
! How English Merchant
of 1480 Sought Custom
One of the earliest • posters ever
printed in England is to be seen in
the Bodleian library, and concerns
a Sarumservice book, printed in 1480
by Caxton. it reads as follows: "If
it pleases any man spirituel or tem-
porel to bye our p'es of two or three
eonimemoracious of Salisburi Use,
emprynted after • the form of this
preset letre, whiche ben wel and
truly correct, late ,hym come to West
monster into the almonestrye at the.
reed pole, and he shall have them good
and chepe. The manner of presenta-
tion is somewhat unenterprising. The
goods advertised belonged to the Mid-
dle ages, which were fast dying. But
a new force had been let loose, which
in the coarse of the next century was
to revolutionize not only the art of
advertising, but the whole of European
culture.
Famous English Potter
Josiah Wedgewood was born on
.Tnly 12, 1730. He was the youngest
son of a potter and came of a family,
1 of which members had been notable
potters • in Staffordshire, England.
Soon after the death of his father in
1739 he became skilled in the art of
shaping pottery on the wheel. In 1753
he became manager' of a email pottery.
In 1759 he began work on his gown ac-

CHEQUES were mail-

in. 1931 by this Com,-,
pany. These cheques
were the proceeds of
matured endowment
policies-- money saved
through the yearly pre-
miums, increased very
considerably by divi-
dends.
If they had died at any
time while the policies
were in force the prin-
cipal sum, plus clivi -
deeds payable, would
have been paid imme-
diately to their bene-
ficiaries.

earthenware was just reaching perfee-
tion and Wedgewood became one of
its best known makers. He presented
a service of his ware to Queen Char-
lotte in 1782 and was appointed potter
to the queen and later to the king. He
next turned his attention to artistic
pottery and reproduced designs based
on the later phases of Greek .art.
Dog's Warning of Death
While there is a very common supers
stition that dogs by their wailing can.
prognosticate , death, this cannot be
given as •a fact, any more than othen
superstitions. A writer in Chambers°
Book of Days, mentioning that the
howling of a dog at night under the
windows of a sick room is looked upon
as a warning of death's being near,
adds: "Perhaps there may be some.
truth in this notion. Everybody knows
the peculiar odor which frequently
precedes death and it is possible Chair
the acute nose of the dog may per-
ceive this and that it may render him
uneasy,"
