Zurich Herald, 1939-09-28, Page 3Lord Tweedsmuir Launches Canadian Red. Cross Drive
m -r
A. cern taign for $3,000,000 to carry on war time as well as its present peace -time work will be inaugurated by
the Canadian Red Cross Society on Novembeey, 13. The announcement was made at the emergency meeting
at Rideau Hall, Ottawa, by the chairman of the executi ve committee, Norman Sommerville, K.C. Representa-
tives from Vancouver to Halifax were present. Lord T weedsmuir, president of the Canadian Red Cross, pre-
sided and said, "we feel now as though we are entering a long and dark tunnel and we have to go through.
There is a light at the end of it though, because we have a clear conscience. Lord Tweedsmuir spoke of the
co-operation which would be necessary between the Canadian society, the British, French and Polish societies,
saying that the latter will certainly need a great deal of help.

The war has commenced to have
its effects on conferences of an

first to suffer being the third In-
ternational Congress for Micro-
• biology, which opened at New
York on September 4. Leading

SNUFF CURES FLU
One war epecteee another world-

be prevented by a new kind of
Russian snuff.
Immune horse serum, a well
knoeen flu material, makes the
Russian snuff.. This serutr.,,..is, the
water -clear part of the blood of
horses which have been artificial-
ly infected with flu. It is dried
and inhaled: Extensive tests in
Russia have shown the snuff not
:only prevented flu, but helped to
cure it.

`POSTPONES DEATH
Postponyment of death in liv-

Fahrenheit.
It has been discovered that the
death 01 human blood corpuscles
can be "almost indefinitely post-

X-RAYS BY THE MOUTHFUL
X-rays can be taken literally by
the mouthful by means of a tube
newly -developed.
The tube is long and slender,
about the size and proportions of a
:child's toy horn. The rays are
produced at the tip, in the area
that would be the mouthpiece of
:Ute horn.
The tube is made to. be inserted
into the Mouth or any outer body
cavity. In this way it puts the rays
in almost direct contact, within a
fraction of an inch, of cancerous
.growths.
The purpose is to avoid the
:burning of healthy tissue which
.occurs when X-rays have to pass
through such tissues to reach can-
aerous growths deeper in the body,

Honey Excellent
For Preserving
As a sugar substitute honey may
be used very satisfactorily in pre-
serving and in certain fruits
(peaches and plums especially)
the flavor is decidedly improved.
This is also the case in conserves
consisting of a combination of two
or more fruits and where spices
are included as in pickles aed rel-
ishes.
Either cold pack or open kettle
method may be used when canning
with honey but care must be tak-
en to avoid boiling over as honey,
has a tendency to loam when heat-
ed. Also the honey should be
cooked no longer than necessary
since its delicate flavor is readily
destroyed.
General Proportions for Canning
Heavy syrup, 11h. c. honey, 1 c.
water. Medium syrup, 1'f4c. hon-
ey, 1 c. water. Light syrup, s/i
iso 1 c. honey, 1 cwater.

HO \ Can I ?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. -How can I render the taste
of disagreeable medicine more pal-
atable?
A. -If one will chew a piece of
orange peel, or take a tiny bit of
cayenne pepper before taking any
disagreeable medicine, it will ren-
der the medicine tastelss or palat-
able.
Q. -How can I remove the
brown stain which so often ap=
pears at the bases of crystal vases
or flower holders?
A. -Moisten some tea leaves
with vinegar, placing them in the
vase and scrub the inside by
means of a bottle brush.
P. -How can I add a different
flavor to apple sauce?
A. -Fold stiffly -beaten egg
whites into the sauce. Chill, and
before serving, garnish with chop-
ped crystallized fruit.
Q. -How can 1 shrink dress
goods?
A. -Place the goods folded'. 'ie ;
a tub of cold water, to which a
few handfuls of salt have been
added. After a few hours, hang
on the line without unfolding.
The weight of the salt prevents
wrinkles from drying in, and the
salt sets the color.
Q. -How can, I remove the old
varnish when refinishing furni-
ture?
A. -Put three tablespoonsful of
cooking soda into one quart of wa-
ter and apply with a rough cloth.
Then use sandpaper and the var-
nish will come off easily,
Avoid Barn Fires
At Theshing Time
Criminal Negligence h Still
Prevalent on Ontario Farms
---Precautions Must Be Tak-
en By All
Speaking on the subject of barn
fires during threshing operations,
the Department of Agricultural En-
gineeriug at the 0. A, C„ Guelph,
asks Ontario farmers to help to
teach the following simple rules
to those who still do not believe
them to be of any value, or believ-
ii g, neglect to live up to them
which is perhaps worse.
1. Improperly cured hay if placed
iu the mow in large quantities
spoils, overheats and is turned into
a charred brown useless product,
tens of thousands of tons each
year in Ontario. This is not always
. burned; just charred and useless
as fodder.
2. Spread uncured hay (if the
Mistake has been .made of bringing
it into the barn) either on the
threshing floor before mowing it
away, or in the mow for 24 hours
at least. Salt it in the mow and
tramp it before placing other hay
on top. Be sure to spread it.
3. A cotton mop (cotton) dipped
is linseed oil (just flaxseed oil)
and left hanging up or lying on
the floor will burst into flame in
a few hours. This is.a fact not a
theory. Please believe this fact
and then listen to scientific advice
to the effect that the same mater-
ials (chemically) exist in the mow.
Conditions being just right - ad-
mission of air at the right moment
and a fire is as sure to occur as
if it were deliberately set.
4, Oil a binder canvaswith a
vegetable oil, roll it up before the
oil is quite dry, and place it in a
warm barn, and once out of ten
times a fire is the result, five
times in ten the canvas is scorched
and ruined if not burned. Confes-
sions of burning of barns this way
have often been made to the writer
of this article. The barn `s no place
for matches in particularly torn
pockets or any other pockets. One
of these matches in a threshing
Luxury Trains
Very Expensive
Between A Million and A Half
and Two Million Dollars Re-
quired to Pay for Crack
Streamliner
Apart from the horror of the kill-
ed and injured in the wreck of the
Southern Pacific's lack streamlin-
er in Nevada, there is brought,
home the fact that a luxury train
costs from $1,600,000..to $2,000,000.
That huge amount, says W, L.
Clark in the Windsor Star, is tor
ono single train not for a fleet of
trains. It means that a huge chum:
of capital Is required before such
a train can be placed in set ;ice, It
also reveals some of the problems
the railways have to face in meet-
ing the demands of traffic and ser-
vice.
Before Placed in America
• It has often been suggested that -
the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
National Railways should put fast
luxury trains in service between ._
Toronto and Montreal.
No doubt the Canadian railway
men would like to put luxury
streamliners on more than one run
in Canada. But, at $2,000,00 per
train, the thought is hard to try
and change from a wh " n fact,

machine or stepped on may cost

Farmer Always Loses
The farmer always loses. The
insurance companies stick survive,
the lumber men, the threshing
machine manufacturers and the
hardware merchants make an hon-
est dollar out of the new barn, etc.,
but th' FARMER loses EVERY
TIME. Remember this! These
things should be taught twice a
year in our public schools. Are
they taught in yours? Insist on this
being done with demonstration, if
necessary, but not the $5,009 varie-
ty. Much threshing is still to be
done in 1939, and we need farmers
and threshermen w, foresight
and an unselfish interest in Ontar-
io agriculture, greatly -doomed
with the wisdom to ease us out of
the muddle in which we find our-
selves relative to these things. We
earnestly solicit their help, their
interest and their willing intelli-
gent services in the patient 'per-
sistent getting across of these
ideas to those who do not recog-
nize the criminal negligence still
prevalent on - tario farms. Can
we count on you to help?
Over -eating Once
Considered Crime
England Had Laws Against It
Not Many Years Ago`
The recent Nazi view that over-
eating is a form of high treason re-
calls the fact that in England not
so many years ago overeating, 1f
not high treason, was legally a
crime. Until July, 1S56, it was tech-
nically unlawful for a man to have
more than two courses at dinner
and supper, although upon spec-
ially festive occasions he might be
permitted three. This statute of
Edward III's sumptuary laws was
not repealed until 1856.
In England severe sumptuary
laws were enacted in the reigns of
Edward III, Edward TV and Henry
VIII. For long a man dared not eat
what he fancied. The poorer class-
-'es, for instance, were forbidden to
eat certain foods and wheaten
bread. That was reserved for "their
betters" - the poor being permit-
ted to eat only coarse bread made
from pease -meal and other unat-
tractive substan:_s.
Criminal Pork
In 1547 a sow and her 6 piglets
were arraigned before the court
at Sevigny, France, accused of
having killed and eaten an infant.
The sow was condemned to death,
but the piglets were pardoned on
account of their youth.
