How Can I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I stop hiccoughs?
A. Try moistening some gran-
ulated sugar with vinegar and
eating it. This often brings in
etant relief.
Q. How can I increase the
quantity of soup on hand without
weakening it by adding water?
A. Keep a box of bouillon
cubes on hand for this purpose.
Add two cubes to two cups of
water, to increase the quantity of
soup without detracting from its
flavor.
Q. How can I remove kerosene
spots from cloth?
A. If kerosene has been spill-
ed on cloth, scour the spot -with
turpentine, then with soap and
warm water.
Q. How can I prevent the
raisins from going to the bottom
of my cake?
A. Roll the raisins in butter
before stirring thein into the bat-
ter.
Q. How can I restore the
brightness to a dull brass article?
A. Soak the article for about
a half-hour in a pint of boiling
water, to which a little rock am-
monia has been added. After it
has been removed from this bath,
polish with a chamois.
Q. How can I prevent fried
food from absorbing too much
fat?
A. By adding a teaspoonful of
vinegar to the lard that is used
for frying.
Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA L66
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. If ' a woman is standing
directly in a man's way, must he
tip his hat when he asks her per-
mission to pass?
2. What are some meaningless
expressions of speech that should
be avoided?
3. Is it all right to ask for
quotations as to the price of
rooms when making hotel reserva-
tions?
4. Is it permissible to shout
comments at motorists who show
a lack of consideration for others?
5. When the dessert is served
at the table, should it be done by
the host or the hostess?
6. When a bride has a sister
of suitable age, does she usually
serve as maid of honor?
Answers
1. Yes, as she steps aside he
should thank her and tip his hat.
2. Sucli expressions as "Don't
you know," "just wonderful," and
"if you know what I mean" will
detract greatly from anyone's
speech. 3. Yes, and upon re-
ceiving them make your choice
known.
Hotels, as a
rule,le,
are
prompt to acknowledge applica-
tions. 4. No, even though they
may be guilty of most stupid and
discourteous driving. 5. The
hostess usually serves the dessert,
though the host may do so if de-
sired, leaving the hostess free to
pour the coffee. 6. Yes.
Wonder of Teeth
In the teeth the body has a per-
fect cutting and grinding appara-
tus for dealing with the food. The
front teeth, called incisors (which
means cutters), cut the food into
pieces as it is put into the mouth
and the side teeth, or molars
(which mean millstones), grind it
pp small. a The teeth are really
Ain structures, corresponding
closely with the nails and hairs in
their mode of origin and develop -
anent. They originate from the
delicate skim layer which, folded
inwards :at le, Muth, constitutes
tie gums. The bulk o eaeli tooth
is composed of dentine, much den-
ser in texture than ivory, but the
crown is coated with the still
hardier enamel, while at the root
is >4 cement.
Booster For Canada
Chick Johnson's Role
Chick Johnson, stage and screen
comedian, rejoicing at the success
of a three weeks hunting trip in
Mount Robson big game territory,
returned over Canadian National
Railways with two bear trophies,
one an eight foot Grizzly, the
other a Brown. He also stopped
off at Kamloops, B.C., and was
fortunate with the trout. "Can-
ada is the finest place in the
world," said Mr. Johnson, "and
hereafter I'm going to be an un-
official publicity agent for Can-
ada in Hollywood and New York."
With his partner, Olsen, Johnson
will soon be engaged on a screen
production of the farcical success
"Hellzapoppin."
What Science
h Doing
NASAL HEALTH BAROMETER
The nose is a sensitive indicator
of body conditions and reacts by
changing its acid or alkaline state,
according to Dr. Noah D. Fabri-
cant, of the University of Illinois
College of Medicine, Chicago. The
interior membranes of the nose in
their normal, healthy condition
are slightly acid. If they become
alkaline this favors the growth of
germs. The acid -alkali condition
is governed by the secretions pro-
duced by the membranes, and
these change from minute to min-
ute. When a person is suffering
from a cold, sinusitis or nasal
allergy, the secretions become al-
kaline, furthering • the trouble.
Rest and sleep overcome the alka-
line condition and help restore the
membranes to the acid state. Dr.
Fabricant's discovery is contrary
to a belief generally held that one
should alkalinize the body to get
rid' of a cold.
v
HAVE
IYOU HEARD'
The savage African tribe of
Ubangis have a habit of stretch:
ing the,lips of their women axourid
circular wooden disks until finally
they become six or seven inches
in size, sticking right out of their
faces like two plates. You've seen
their pictures in travel magazines.
The story goes the rounds that
two 'Ubangi girls met one very hot
day in the jungle. One of them
stuck her face up close to the
other and rapidly repeated:
"Peter Piper picked a peck of
pickled peppers! Now you fan me
for awhile!"
Airman: "Is that your new
girl?"
Sailor: "No. Just the old
one painted over."
"Why won't you advertise?"
asked the representative of a
newspaper of a man who owned
a small business in a provincial
town.
"It doesn't leave a man any
time," was the reply. "I adver-
tised once last summer and the
consequence was I was kept so
busy I didn't have time to go
fishing the whole season."
• Butler: "Your car is at the
door, sir."
Guest: "I know. 1 hear itB
knocking."
An official with a very annoy-
ing manner was making an in-
spection of an aerodrome.
On this particular afternoon
parachute practice was being un-
dertaken by a number of pilots,
and the official asked question
after question of one man about
his experiences and sensations
while falling through the air.
"But supposing your parachute
fails to open while you are com-
ing down?" he asked finally.
"What do you do then?"
The pilot had had more than
enough by this time. "Take it
back and change it," he replied.
He: "I am told he has more
money than he knows what
to do with."
She: "Has he really. Such
ignorance must be bliss."

"INVISIBLE" COLORS
Current studies by scientists at
McDonald Observatory in West
Texas inay throw some light on
the little-known structure of the
upper reaches of the earth's at-
mosphere.
The studies being made are of
shifting films of "invisible" col-
ors in the night sky. McDonald
astronomers, headed by C. T. El-
vey, are examining through spe-
cial equipment the variations in
patterns of red, green and yellow
films—shifting across the skies —
but invisible, to the naked eye.

CELLS KILL T.B. GERMS
Discovery of a new chapter in
the natural defences of the human
body against tuberculosis is re-
ported by Dr. Morton C. Kahn of
Cornell Medical College — New
York Hospital Association.
This chapter explains what hap -
pexis to T.B. germs engulfed by
certain. wanderingndeiin
g white
cells
in
the body which are a person's
principal known defence against
tuberculosis.
Heretofore scientists sometimes
had• observed these cells lifeless
and containing dead tuberculosis
germs.
It appears that the cells contain
a chemical, probably an enzyme,
which kills T.B. germs, and that
the defensive cells can and some-
times do continue to live.
The importance of this discov-
ery is that aparently the quality
of these wandering cells fixes the
ability of a person to recover from
tuberculosis. It might be possible
to strengthen the cells.
What Pencil Costs
To pure lase a lead pencil, the
Canadian National Railways car-
e�sr a ton of freight one mile,
vv Ile a scratch pad of good qual-
ity must be paid by five tons of
freight carried one mile. These
examples are quoted in an article
on "Salvage" in the June Cana-
dian National Magazine.
Water Is Vital
In Cow's Ration
According to dairy authorities,
water is the most important part
of the dairy cow's ration since
water represents at least sever.'
eighths of the material which goes
into the milk pail. A shortage of
water will cut down the milk sup-
ply more quickly than a shortage
of any other part of the ration.
Tests show that a cow will con-
sume from three to four pounds
of water to each pound of dry
platter eaten. The average ani-
mal in the herd will drink around
12 gallons per clay.
A plentful supply of water is
of especial importance in cold
weather. The two things which
affect the quantity a cow can
drink are the temperature of the
water and the number of times
she drinks. No cow should or will
drink as much ice water as she
needs for heavy milk production,
nor can she drink enough at one
time.

Will Provide Roughage In
Counties Where Hay Crop
Likely To Be Short
With the hay erop likely to be
short in many eounties due to Con-
tinued dry weather, farmers might
be well advised to consider the
merits of Millet as either hay or
pasture, says the Ont. Dept, of
Agriculture.
Millet should be sown during
the first half of June on. well-
prepared soil at the rate of 20
to 30 pounds of seed per acre,
depending on variety and size of
seed. Some of the varieties
grown are Empire, Siberian,
Hungarian and Common.
The crop can be pastured when
one foot high or cut for hay when
it conies into head. Some vari-
eties will be ready for hay in
about eight weeks from time of
seeding.
Not High In Feeding Value
Millets are not particularly
high in feeding value, but they
will produce a large amount of
roughage which can be used to
advantage in conjunction with
alfalfa or other legumes.
Marrowstem kale makes good
fall pasture. It is not readily in-
jured by frost and will furnish
pasture for cattle later than most
other crops, if the snow keeps
off.
This crop can be sown in drills
24 to 30 inches apart, using 1%
to 2 pounds of seed per acre. Seed
should be sown six to eight weeks
before the crop is required for
pasture. Farmers are cautioned
to exercise care in pasturing to
prevent a feed flavor in milk.
Handy Product
Preserves Wood
Popular Among Users of
Paint — Wood Preservative
For Domestic Use Now Being
Marketed — "Pentox" New
Product
Domestic consumers such as
painters, contractors, 'household-
ers, etc., have found satisfaction
in a new product sold under the
trade name of "Pentox." It fills
a long-awaited demand for a
ready -to -use wood preservative
for everyday use with paint.

DIXIE PLUG HAS EVERYTHING
Prevents Rot
This new product, which is be-
ing manufactured by the Osmose
Wood Preserving Co. of Canada,
Ltd., In Montreal, shows every
evidence of becoming very popu-
lar among users of paint. It has
many features — can easily be
mixed with any paint, varnish or
oil, and is packaged in `handy
sizes,' scientifically measured for
pints, quarts and gallons. It is
designed to prevent rot, repel in-
sects, termites, and ants, and keep
wood and paint in sound condi-
tion. The principal constituent is
sodium fluoride, a proven wood
preservative, which is common to
the products for industrial use,
manufactured by the same com-
pany for many years, with great
success.
Its action is very simple and
logical. Oil in the paint is used
as a spreader only, the fine par-
ecles of "Pentox" are evenly dis-
tributed over the painted surface.
As soon as these particles come in
contact with the moisture in the
wood, they become active, dis-
solve in the moisture and diffuse
into the wood, thus rendering the
wood under the paint immune to
the attack of decay and insects.
A serious rival for the now gen-
erally approved cattle feed, beet
pulp, has been given extensive
feeding trials in Florida. Process-
ed citrus pulp, made mostly from
grapefruit produced more milk per
cow than beet pulp, although the
latter put on a little more weight
than the former.
"Democracy is nothing more
than a lot of individuals co-op-
erating for the common good."

'Winking Bass"
Wins Contest
At Least, This Fish Story,
Told by Montrealer Was Ere:
ough to Win Trip to Bahaman,
r.
Charles Hall, of Montreal, waa,
announced by the Quebee An'glerea
Association as winner of the assoc-,,
cation'"s "fish story" contest frona,t
among 6,000 entrants with his yarn:
about the "winking bass."
Hall, who won a plane trip t4
Nassau, Bahamas, wrote that whild
fishing last season be dropped his
pearl -handled knife into the water+.
Moments later he caught a female
bass, put it on a stringer and hung
it over the side of the boat,
SAWED STRING AWAY r
Suddenly, Hall's story goes, the
water churned and he saw a large
male bass "sawing away at the
stringer with the small pearl -handl
led knife I had just lost overboard,"
and as Hall reached into theiwater
to grape for the stringer he felt
something nudged into his hand. It
ivas the knife—returned by the
bass.
"As the fish disappeared," Hall
says, "1 saw him give me a wink
of thanks. It was the first winking
bass that I ever saw."
Prices paid to Ontario farmers
for turnips the past season have
been better than for many years.
The highest mark was 45 cents a
bushel for the best lots. From one
station in Wellington county a
total of 200,000 bushels were
shipped during the winter.
