How Can I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY I
Q. How can I treat an In -
vowing nail?
A. 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.

studies of 5,000 men and women.
He found that it generally Is the

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is withdrawn by tapping the spine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.

Untreated Olives
Aren't Palatable
The fresh untreated. fruit of
the olive tree, whether ripe or
green, is too bitter to be palatable
to most persons. 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.

"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.

WAR CORRESPONDENT AT
BASEBALL GAME
Authorities revealed today that
the Cinnburgh Cubs and the De-
york Dodgers engaged in a criti-
cal baseball combat on June—, at
an unnamed park somewhere. on
the outskirts of the city.
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.
Mothers who scold little
boys for carrying crazy
things in their pockets should
look in their handbags.—Kit-
chener Record.
.A. young private, walking
through the park with his girl,
met his sergeant.
"This - is my sister," he ex-
plained, bashfully.
"That's all right," the sergeant
replied, kindly. "She used to be
nine."
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.
You eat raw salads with both hot

don't forget they're good with
roasts and grills as well). Use

of watercress and grate beetroot
and carrot in a ring round it—.

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBEpTA LEE
BY ROBER"TA LEE
1. What are some things a
girl should not do when applying
for a position?
2. 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.
Schools of Province Are Plan-
ning to Put on Speclal Dis-
plays at 1941 Exhibition •
C.N.E. headquarters report
that an exhibit of particular in-
terest which is scheduled for pre-
sentation at the 1941 Canadian
National Exhibition from August
22 to September 6, will be that
of the Ontario Educational Asso-
ciation. This, it is announced,
will be located in the Music Build-
ing and will present the theme,
"The School at Work."
Here, it is stated, girl students
in the Home Economics section
will prepare and serve meals, and
do a day's mending on clothing
for the men of the Active Service
units stationed at Exhibition
Park. Members of the school
agricultural section will give a
demonstration of their work as it
is carried on in Simcoe, Ont. The
Commercial schools of the prov-
ince will have an exhibit, and
the bench -working classes of the
various Technical schools will
also be represented.
in Music Building
All scheduled school competi-
tions, it is announced, will take
place in the Music Building, in-
cluding the school baking contest
and the dressmaking competition.
Also, on Children's Day, August
25, Canadian children will par-
ticipate in dressing dolls for the
nursery shelters of British bomb-
ed cities.
The Ostrich Egg
The ostrich lays an egg weigh-
ing in the neighborhood of three
pounds. Consequently, one ostrich
egg would equal two or three
dozen ordinary hen's eggs. Os-
trich eggs have very strong shells,
from which the African natives
make bowls and cups.
Start Excavating
Historic Ground
0. J. Latta, Saskatchewan pro-
vineial librarian, is going from Re-
gina to superintend excavation of
ground where a lead tablet dated
the n'n of Pierre
de la Verendrye, early western
explorer, was dug up recently.
Latta came on instructions of
Education Minister J. W. Estey af-
ter E. Robinson found the tablet
while digging in bis garden. The
six -ounce tablet, three and one-
quarter inches by one and one-half
inches, is a miniature replica of
one found at Pierre, S.D., in March,
1913, and which historians hold was
proof of the journals left by the
French-Canadian expore and hie
four sons.
Rail Honeymoons
Set New Record
Honeymoon couples starting
their travelk from four local sta-
tions of the Canadian National
Railways were of record number
during June, according to ticket
examiners, station masters and
other officials who contact Mister
and Missus. Saturday is the most
popular day, as many as twent3
couples boarding week -end :rains,
with five as a minimum on other
week -days. Montreal is noted for
the gaiety of 'wedding parties,
usually friends crowding to the
station to provide a cheerful
sendoff and in numerous in-
stances musicians accompany the
wedding' guests. An aftermath is
the rush of workers to sweep up
confetti and rice. The latter is
stored and set aside for birds
nesting at station buildings,
