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? 6. 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. Such expressions as "Don't you know," "just wonderful," and "if you know what I mean" will detract greatly from anyone's speed). 3. Yes, and upon re- ceiving them make your choice known. Hotels, as a rule, are prompt to acknowledge applica- tions. 4. Xo, 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 IB the teeth the body has a per- fect cutting and grinding appara- tus for dealing with the food. The front teeth, called incisors (which ' mean* cutters), cut the food into ' piece* aa it is put into the mouth ' and the side teeth, or molars (which mean millstones), grind it ' up small. The teeth are really akin structures, corresponding eloeely with the nails and hairs in their mode of origin and develop- ment They originate from the delicate skin layer which, f^l(Jed inwards at the mouth, constitutes f r^. f 55^ t?oth sed oT dentine, much den- eer in texture than ivory, but the crown is coated with the still harder enamel, while at the root ! a 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 Is 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 i.< 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 on* should alkalinize the body to get rid of a cold. o "INVISIBLE" COLORS Current studies by scientists at McDonald Observatory in West Texas may 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. o 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- pens to T.B. germs engulfed by certain wandering 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 b* possible to strengthen the cells.' ^ a \ ^ What Pencil Costs To purchase a lead pencil the Canadian National Railways car- ries a ton of freight one mile, while a scratch p&d of good qual- ity must be paia by five tons }>t freight carried one mile. These examples are quoted in an article on "Salvage" in the June Cana- dian National Magazine. HAVE - YOU HEARD? The savage African tribe of Ubar.gis have a habit of stretrh- ing the lips of their women around 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 ir. travel magazine*. The story goes the rounds that two Ubangi glrb met on* * er y hot day in the jungle. One of them stuck hei 1 face up close to the other and rapidly repeated: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers! Now you fan me for awhile!" Airman: "I that jour nw girl?" Sailor: "No. Just the old one painted over." "Why won't you adveaise?" asked the representative of a newspaper of a man whc 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 1 was kept so busy I didn't have time to go fishing the whole season." Butler: "Your car ii at Ae door, *ir." Gueit: "1 know. I hear ft 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 hat more money than he knowi what to do with." She: "Ha. he really. Suck ignorance must be bins. ' 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 seven- eighths of the material which jroes 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 <iry matter eaten. The average ani- mal in the herd will drink around 12 gallons per day. 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. N'o cow should or will drink as much ice water as she needs for heavy milk production, nor can she drink e?.-',igh at one time.

PENTOX "With the hay crop likely to be short in many counties due to con- tinued dry weather, farmers might he 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 comes 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 i 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 !' 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. <* T AST E -FLAVOUR- FRESHNESS- ECONOMY BIXIE PLUG HAS EVERYTHING DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO lenrous Restless fl!a,LLJ Cranky?

WELL WORTH TRYINOI Handy Product Preserves Wood Popular Among Users of Paint Wood Preservative For Domestic Use Now Being Marketed -Pentox'' New Product Domestic consumers such as painter?, 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. Prevent* Rot This new product, which is be- ing manufactured by the 0mos Wood Preserving Co. of Canada, Ltd., in Montreal, showi tvery evidence of becoming very popu- lar among users of paint. It has many features can easily b mixed with any paint, varnish or oil, and is packaged in 'handy izes,' 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 year?, with great success. Its action is very simple and logical. Oil in the paint is used as a spreader only, the fine par- tTcles 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. 'Winking Bass" Wins Contest At Least, This Fiih 8topy, Told by Montrealer Wit En- ough to Win Trip to Bahama* "Democracy is nothing more than a lot of individuals co-op- erating for the common good." Leon Henderson. Charles Hall, of Montreal, w announced by the Quebec A Association as w!nuer of the assoc- iation'* "fish story'' contest troof among 6,000 entrants with his yarn about uie "winking bass." Hall, who won a plane trip t* Nassau. Bahamas, wrote that while fishing last season he dropped hi pearl-handled knife into the water. Moments later be caught a fcmal* base, put it on a stringer and hung it over the side of the boat. SA\VED STRING AWAY f Suddenly, Ha'.l's story goes. the. water churned and he saw a Urge mala bas "sawing away at tb* stringer with tie small pear'.-handl led knife I had just lost overboard." and as Hall reached into '.hejwater to grope for the stringer he felt something nudged into his haud. It was the knife returned by the bass. "As the fish disappeared." Hall says. "I saw him give me a --vink of thank*. It was the first viniting bass that I ever saw." Prices paid to Ontario fanners for turnips the past season hav* 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 wer shipped during the winter. .CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS... \VA\TKD LJUHTNINC.
