i SUN STROKE VICTIMS
During very hot weather, most of
us try to keep out of the sun be-
cause we wish to avoid sunstroke,
but we should try to remember also
that heat exhaustion or heat pros-
tration may oocur in the home,
where we are shielded from the
rays of the sun. Sun stroke and heat
exhaustion are two different ail-
ments and require somewhat dif-
ferent treatment,
In sunstroke you may feel tired
and dizzy before the regular symp-
toms occur. These are headache, a
feeling of oppression, sometimes a
tightness in the chest, great thirst,
restlessness, frequent desire to pass
urine, hot skin, a "sicky" feeling,
flushed face and high temperature,
finally unconsciousness.
Treatment in sunstroke is to lay
the patient in a cool, shady place,
Off the ground id possible or an the
round on newspapers or clothing
id no bench or table is available.
Cold clothe are then applied to the
back of neck, face, and chest, cloth-
ing relnoved, body sprinkled with
water. The head should be kept up
high and patient fanned with a tow-
el our piece of clothing. When the
patient is able to swallow, some
cool water containing a pinch of
salt should be given.

Q. How can I prevent my glass-
es from cracking when pouring
hot jelly into them?
A. Put the glasses into a pan
of hot water to prevent their
cracking. The pan should be a
shallow one, and the water suf-
ficient to cover the lower third
of the glass.
Q. How can I treat ivy poison
in?
A. A good remedy, and one
that is easy to apply, is a solu-
tion of sodium bicarbonate and
ice water. Apply freely and often
to the poisoned skin. Ask your
druggist how to prepare the solu-
tion.
Q. How can I remove peach
stains from linen?
A. Soak the spots in a weak
solution of chloride of lime. Ap-
ply cream of tartar and place in
the sun to dry. Then launder.
Q. How can I relieve excessive
• perspiration?
A. Sponge the affected area
with one teaspoon of powdered
alum to a quart of water. Allow
to dry, afterward rinsing and
dusting with talcum.
Q. How can I prevent the juke
of berry pies from leaking out?
A. When making berry pies,
cut the lower crust half an inch
larger than the top crust and fold
it over like a hem. This prevents
the juice from leaking out.

Predict Rise
In Fertilizer
Twenty Per Cent. Price Gain
is Seen As Result of Present
War
The possibility of an increase of
at least 20 per cent. in the prices
of fertilizer in Co nada was seen
recently by G. E. Peart, plant pro-
ducts division, Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
POTASH CAME FROM EUROPE
Addressing a Dominion -provincial
agricultural conference at its con-
cluding session Mr. Peart said the
expected price rise might start this
month and was caused by the war.
About one half of the potash used
in Canada for fertilizer came from
Europe prior to the war and now
Canada is almost totally dependent
on the United States for this mat-
erial. The discount on Canadian ex-
change together with the 10 per
cent. war exchange tax will tend
to boost prices, he said.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
New hope for hay fever victims
was held out last week by an
Emory (Atlanta, Ga.) University
. physician's report that potassium
gluconate tablets had given re-
lief to seven of every ten patients
in tests at the school hospital.
Experiments conducted with
more than 100 patients over an
18 -month period indicated potas-
sium gluconate is a "good form
of relief" although it is "unfor-
tunately not a cure,"
The tablets served to correct "a
deficiency of potassium" which
had been noted in the tissues of
allergic persons.
Check Soil Drift
By Strip Farming
It's Being Done In Many Dif-
ferent Parts of the Prairie
Provinces
Considerable progress in the
drive against soil drifting was re-
ported last week to the national
advisory committee on agricultur-
al services by its section on soil
drifting.
The report said strip farming,
which checks the loss of top -soil,
had been reported in many parts
of the Prairie Provinces.
MOSTLY IN SOUTHERN ALTA.
In 1935 only a very small
area in the Monarch district of
Southern Alberta was following
this practice but by 1940 it is
estimated that approximately 80
to 90 per cent of the farmers in
Southern Alberta are following
this practice while perhaps 60 per
cent of the farmers in South
Western Saskatchewan have ad-
opted it.
All Highway Jobs
In Ontarii Cease
Construction Work Stops For
The Duration
All highway construction all
throughout the province of Ontario
has ceased, carrying out Premier
Hepburn's direction that all govern-
ment spending during the war must
be cut to a minimum, No more con-
tracts for highway construction are
to be let for the war's duration, the
Minister of Highways, Hon. T. B.
McQuesten, said last week due to
the policy of cutting all government
spending to a minimum.
Contracts were terminated July
31, including work on the Queen
Elizabeth Way between 73urlington
and Niagara, Falls. Between 1,400
and 1,500 men had been employed
un this work, while near North Bay
and Sudbury a further 700 employ-
ed on smaller contracts have also
ceased work.
FLX HIGHWAY NO. 3 TURN
"It's the worst highway corner in
Western Ontario," declared Mr. Mc-
Questen in answering the protest
of a group of Delhi citizens, against
cost and necessity of widening a
turn south of Delhi on Highway No.
3. While those protesting the work
contended the cost Is $190,000, Mr.
McQuesten explained the actual
cost le $10,000.
Mr. McQuesten said the work
would be proceeded with and the
corner widened to remove a dang-
erous right angle.. It is a danger to
traffic, he explained, and has caus-
ed may accidents. Mr. McQuesten
felt that the protest came from res-
idents who did not want thea pro-
perties purchased by the depart-
ment of highways for use in widen-
ing.
