New Type Stove Is One -Burner Highly ' Popular In Foreign Lands, It Is Now Ready for Canadian Use. At last, engineers have perfect- ed a one -burner portable stove with most of the advantages of larger ones. It is the only one - burner stove with so many dis- tinctive advantages. This new stove lights instantly, without preheating, on the "in- stant gas from gasoline" principle. Heat can be easily regulated to high, medium or low. A safety shut-off valve keeps fuel from. spilling and eliminates the need of repumping every time the stove Is lighted. 49 An automatic tip cleaning needle is built in. The "life -time" burner is wind -proof, silent and operates without throwing off fuel odor. It is the same type of bur- ner used on expensive instant gas ranges. An extra large, straight generator is easy to clean and re- place. A triple nickel -plated brass fount is rust -proof, Tested for 200 lbs. pressure and is unusually safe. Lights Instantly While this stove, known as the Coleman Speed -Master, has been used and proved efficient in for- eign lands, it is manufactured by a Canadian company—The Cole- man Lamp and Stove Company. They released it for foreigners before Canadians in order to test out and improve its construction. Housewives, campers, doctors, restaurant operators, plumbers, garagemen and all others who have need of a one -burner stove will find the Speed -Master avail- able in the stores of all Coleman dealers. Ottawa E. oats Dams P rogrann Gardiner Announces More Pro- jects for Aid of Prairie Farm- ers Facing Shortage of Water REGINA.—Extension of the prai- rie farm rehabilitation program of building community dams and dug- outs has been authorized by Hon, J. G. Gardiner, federal minister of agriculture. It now will involve an expenditure of about $100,000, pro- viding fall work for between 3,500 and 4,000 farmers. 180 Projects Under Way Mr. Gardiner's decision brought the projects up to 180, largely in Saskatchewan, with 28 scheduled for Alberta's special areas and about six for southwestern Mani- toba. The program, wlrteh speeds cote struction this year of projects that normally might not be built until 1939 or even later, is twofold in purpose. First, the community dams and dugouts will be built hi areas where water shortage is a definite problem, and second, the construe - tion program 'will take the form of Walk and wages project for hard- hit farmers. Try this on your wife. Our bet is, however, she will like a pres- ent better: Mr. Timson came home one evening to find his wife vis- ibly displeased. Wife—"Do you realize, John, that you have forgotten that this is my anniversary?" Husband—"Of course, I've for- gotten. There really isn't anything about you to remind me that you're a day older than you were a year ago—or even ten years ago." Time flies when you con- sider how recently you bought the children's shoes which now need new half soles. But it goes on crutches if you think how long it takes to get back that $10 you lent with the promise that it would be repaid next week. Angry Father—"I don't know what to do about your telling un- truths. When I was your age I never told a Iie." Little Son—"How old were you when you started, please, dad?" The teacher was giving the youngsters a mental drill. Teacher — "Now, Bobby, tell me which month has 28 days in it." Bobby — (who had forgot- ten, after a moment, had the answer.)—"They all haver" Did he mean this? Solicitor—"Did you present the ' bill to your client?" Collector—"Yes." Solicitor — "And what did he say?" Collector—"He told me to go to the devil." Solicitor—"And what did you do?" Collector—"I came to see you." An old German was on the witness stand. "And now, sir, describe to the jury just hew the stairs run in that house," requested the lawyer. The old man scratched his head for a minute. "You want to know how the stairs run?" "Yes, if you please, how the stairs run." "Veil, ven I am oopstairs dey run down, and ven I am downstairs dey run oop." A salesman was dismissed 'be- cause of a lack of courtesy to cus- tomers. A month later the Sales Manager spotted him walking about in a police uniform. "I see you've joined the force, Jones," said the Sales Manager. "Yes," replied Jones. "This is the job I've been looking for all• my life. On this job the customer is always wrong." The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY SCIENCE FOR THE CITIZEN By Lancelot Hogben In Lancelot Hogben's astound- ing new book, "Science For the itizen," the vast field of science and what it means to man is ar- ranged into a dynamic pattern that should be wholly understand- able to almost everyone. Mr. Hogben is, as you know, the peppery, learned and prolific author of "Mathematics for the Million," that most popular of all literary numbers games. "Science for the Citizen" is the second of his "primers for the age of plen- ty." It is far and away the most valuable as well as the most inter- esting geography of science that has come this way in a long time. But Mr. Hogben not only illum- inates a huge field; he accomp- lishes his main purpose, which is to urge you to see that science has got far enough to offer an age of plenty now—if science is used for the citizen, not against him.

The amount of ocean radium is probably vast, but so diffused that it has no effect on human be- ings. TOOTH DECAY CAUSE FOUND The isolation of a streptococcus believed to be the principal cause of tooth decay and the discovery that it is nurtured by an element in cereal foods which could be eliminated by a change in the pro- cessing was reported last week to the First District Dental Society of the States . of New York. BRAIN SWITCHBOARD A switchboard in the brain which relays messages from the eye to the rest of the body has been discovered. This new-found centre of brain activity was located in studies of diseased areas inside the brain. The telephone central of the human body is in the mid -brain. It co-ordinates messages received through the optic nerve to the ac- tual brain cells of sight. SPEEDS HEALING OF WOUNDS Oxygen loosely locked up in grain of white powder is reported as a new treatment fllr healing wounds rapidly. Oxygen is supposed to owe its healing power in wounds to its ability to drive out the kind of bacteria which live without oxy- gen. The obstacle to using oxygen has been its quick evaporation from the woand. The powder is a new product of chemistry, zinc peroxide. PULPWOOD INTO GLASS The future of Northern Ontar- io's pulpwood industry may Iie in the new plastic discoveries of the past few years. ,One type of glass made from pulpood permits 30 to 40 per tent. more light to pass through it than ordinary glass, with the added advantage that it is virtually unbreakable and im- pervious to varying weather con- ditions. Found Norse Relics James E. Dodd, Fort William, is credited with having dug up near Beardmore, Ontario, the fragments of a sword, axe and shield belonging to a Viking war- rior of the llth Century. Poland has asked the League of Nations to take charge of thous- ands of would-be immigrants, mostly Jews, which the govern- ment is anxious to move ouside the country. a..: oh z ;oy!

Issue 45—'38 Fortune In Ivory There is a fortune in old teeth, provided the teeth are pure ivory, like those of elephants, hippopot- ami, walruses, narwhale, Sperm whales and animals of the wild boar class. The teeth and, tusks of such animals come under the heading of ivory, which is designated as a very dense substance with pores close and compact, filled with a gelatinous substance that facili- tates high polish and makes it easy to work, POULT iY A8 "R CONQUE S " ,s' P" Praises Minard's Liniment As Remedy for Roup or Bronchial Flu Read In this _etter from G, lefinvielle, Fort Carry, how be checked Roup (i3ron. eh1a1 Pie) when it broke out among lits young hens.
