LAWRENCE PLAN Republicans Issue Manifes- to Saying Candidate Will Advocate Construction Washington, Sept. 28.--A Repub- lican manifesto issued at head- quarters stressed the efforts of Mr. Hoover to bring about an under- standing with Canada on the St. Lawrence waterway proposal. The manifesto goes on to em- phasize the attitude Hoover has taken to the proposed St. Lawrence deep waterway. The St. Lawr- ence route to the sea will be a great advantage to the western farmer, says the manifesto, and it is implied that Hoover, if elected, will use every means in his power to make the St. Lawrence deep waterway an accomplished fact. Before his nomination, Hoover on several occasions expressed himself strongly in favor of joint Canadian and American develop- ment of the St. Lawrence route, it is pointed out. Governor Alfred Smith has fav- ored the alternate all-American route through New York State. HONEY AS A DISINFECTANT (From the New York Times) When the National Beekeepers' Assoctation offered $1,000 several years ago to the man who could approximately imitate the work of the bee in the production of honey comb it was not anticipated that any one would soon collect the money. The beekeepers knew their bees. The $1,000 is still waiting. Scientists are fascinated by the systematic life of bees and are be- ginning to discover some new facts about their product. - One reason for the value of honey as a food for man has heen found out. Old- time beekeepers have always known that if honey is placed in a barrel not thoroughly dry the seams will open and the honey will run out. Science has discovered that it ah- sorbs the moisture from anything damp with which it comes in con- tect. It draws moisture from the staves of the barrel.

W Cade Sa -- -- re _ lack of any form of bacteria In honey is caused in the same way. An unlucky microbe falling into a honey pot dries up and dies. Honey is its own disinfectant, It is one of the safest foods in the world. Seal- ed in the wazen cells of the comb, it is kept clean and pure, and when it is extracted and exposed to the air it kills any dangerous organ- isms falling into it by absorbing their liquid content. What most of us are waiting for now, we think, is for some one to come forward and solve the cele- brated Langsner mystery case.-- é MARCONI SHOP The Best in Radios Kingston Rd.
