Applications of alum. will usually cure a case of ingrowing nail in about five days. The ap- plication is not painful in the least and is usually effective. Ap- ply a fomentation of soap and water for 24 hours beforehand, and then pour the alum into the space between the nail and its bed, tamponing with cotton to keep the alum in place, and repeating the application daily. Q. How can I make use of pea pods? A. After shelling the peas, wash the pods thoroughly and cook them with an onion and some parsley. Then drain, mix with milk, , thicken with a little flour, and season with salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of butter. This makes a delicious soup. Q. clow can I remove brown stains from the steel fittings of my stove? A. Rub with a rag dipped in vinegar. Then polish in the usual manner. Q. How can I save time when cleaning the furniture? A. Try using a soft paper nap- kin with a bit of polish on it to give a high luster to the furni- ture, the next time you are dust- ing. This saves quite a bit of time and gives pleasing results. Q. How can I remove fly specks from. brass chandeliers, picture frames and ornaments? a A. Wet a soft clot.h with alco- hol and carefully wipe the sur- face. Then dry with a chamois. ,.. . . .,0,-,•• •••• — What Science Is Doing NEW THEORY OF RAIN By literally straining clouds aibove 6,000 -foot Mt.

NEW TREATMEN' FOR DEAFNESS A treatment for deafness, using ing the spine as a spigot to with- draw excess pressure from the ears, was recently reported to the Am- erican Association for the Advance- ment of Science. A small quantity of spinal fluid is withdrawn by tapping the spine near its base. The result has been marked improvement in hearing in more than 40 per cent of the cases of progressive deafness in which it was tried. —0— WOOD INTO SUGAR By forcing treated wood to "In- hale and exhale" gas pumped into it under pressure a yield of 50 to 60 per cent sugar has been obtain- ed, according to a report of Ru- dolph L.

To remove the bitterness, olives are soaked in a lye solution, washed, and then put in brine. The people of Greece, however, are said to relish fresh untreated olives that have been dried. In the Far North In Green- land the growing season for plants lasts barely two months in the year. HAVE YOU HEARD' i "When a prisoner alters a state- ment he has previously made, it does not necessarily mean he is untruthful," the judge pointed out to his court. "For instance," he said, "when. I entered the bus this morning I could have sworn I had my watch with me but later I remem- bered that I had left it on my dressing table under an envelope." When he returned home his wife asked him the reason for his anxiety about his watch, in sand- ing five men for it. "I didn't send any men for my watch," he said in some Surprise. "Well, dear, I gave it to the first man who called as he knew just where it was," said his wife.

According to usually reliable sources, "Red" Wilson and Jim, Smith were the starting pitchers. High Official circles in Deyork announced that the Dodgers were victorious by a score of 5 to 4. However, a dispatch from Cinn- burgh claimed the Cubs to be the winners, 6 to 3. Deyork news agencies reported that the feature of the game was a hone run with bases loaded by their slugging first baseman, "Hank" Ottwick. This devastating blow, corning in the ninth inning with the score tied at 1-1, was alleged to have turned the tide of battle in the Dodgers' favor. Cinnburgh cor- respondents flatly denied this re-' port, claiming that Ottwick's high fly was caught near the flagpole in centerfield by the sensational rookie Ted McTroskey. An umpire, whose identity re- mains unrevealed, issued what some observers believe to be .an authentic report, but his state- ments were censored so closely as to be of little value. Informed circles believe, however, that the Cubs may have strengthened their position in the league standings by this recent offensive.

Making the Most Of Your Celery Proper Foods Study Proposed For Public Formulation of a Dominion - wide plan to educate the public on proper foods was urged by Dr. Frederick Tindall of Toronto, chairman of the committee on nu- trition of the Canadian Medical Association, at the opening of a recent meeting of the Canadian Council of Nutrition in Ottawa. Representatives of various Gov- ernment departments, research workers from universities, house- hold science experts and medical ;men attended the meeting, with Dr. R. E, Wodehouse, Deputy Minister of Pensions and National Health, in the chair. The object of the meeting was to settle on a means of applying the lessons drawn from research in the nutrition field towards the promotion of national health and fitness. What about new ways of vary- ing the use of celery—especially If you just think of it as some- thing to liven up the dry cheese you are eating right to the rind.

Should one ever advise or ridicule other players in any game of sports? 8. How far in advance should vacation reservations be made? 4. When two or More women enter a street -car who should pay the carfare? • 5. Isn't it rude for a person to shove when attempting to pass through a crowd? 6. To whom should complaints he made by a person who is stay- ing in a hotel? Answers 1. Smoke a cigaret, clew gum, or powder her nose are three things she should not do if she really wants the position. 2. Ad- vice on how to play a game should never be given to players unless they have asked your help. Teach- ing should be left to profession- als. Ridiculing any player is one of the meanest forms of insult. 8. Several weeks in advance if possible. When delayed too long, one is often disappointed. 4. Too much fuss is made about this trivial matter. Usually the one who has the exact change ready, or the one who encounters the ,conductor first, pays the fare. 6. Yee. The courteous way is to say, "May I pass, please?" 8. They should be made directly to the management or the desk clerk. Make the complaints in a pleas- ant manner, never in a disagree- able or quarrelsome fashion. "School at Work" Coming to C.N.E.
