ON YON Theobald's Savings Store GROCERY SERVICE STATION Gas -- Oil -- Grease -- Coal Oil OUR PRICES ARE LOWEST Give Us a Trial and Be Convinced Warnings Go Unheeded The death by electrocution of an Ontario woman recently is evidence that there still are peoph unaware of the dangers attending the handling of electrical apparatus in certain circumstances. Manufacturers do everything their power to render such apparatus "fool proof," but the ush operate by means of simple precautions where exceptional risks occur. The victim of the fatality referred to above was found dead in her bath, in which also lay an electric heater used for warming the bathroom, is supposed that she leaned from her bath to switch this out, was electrocuted in doing so, and dropped the heater into the water as \' It is impossible to lay too much emphasis on the danger of touching even an electric switch with hands or while standing in wate on a damp surface; though there is no risk when doing so when the hands are dry and the body is by dryshoes on a dry surface. Some time ago the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission published a leaflet drawing attention to the perils of careless handling of electric light and rower implements. Children especially are likely to handle such things )mproperly. and to amuse themselves by climbing telephone poles or the fences by which power apparatus is guarded They should be warned emphatically of the danger of so do'ng. It took many accidents to convince the early users of illuminating gai that searching for a gas leak with i r.aked light was unwise. It appears quite equally difficult to impress 01 'he public that handling electric light with wet hands may be fatal. Pack Eggs Big End Up Eggs, especially those to be shipped for hatching, should be packed snugly with the large end up as hatching eggs are less likely to be broken when in this position than if they are packed with the small end up. Each normal egg has an air cell at *he large end and it is necessary that the membrane separating the inner portion of the egg from the shell membrane be neither broken nor shaken loose. Research has shown thai eggs with tremulous air cells hatched only two-thirds as well as the eggs which had normal air cells. Packing the eggs with the large end up removes the pressure from the inner membrane. The egg case should never be placed on the bumper of an automobile, as the vibration at this point is possibly greater than on the floor inside the car. If the hatching eggs are hauled in a waggon or truck the bed should be matted with straw, which serves as a shock absorber.

Long associated as a dish for the masses in England, .the humble fish and chips is apparently gaining recognition in Canada. At least one large restaurant chain in Toronto and Montreal make a feature of this dish and according to the caterer have struck a very responsive chord in the palates of their customers. Recently a columnist in the British Fishing News predicted that fish and chip shops in this country, if they properly developed, could absorb 60% of the fish landed, as they Great Britain. In the old country, he says, everyone in the business earns a good living, especially the fishermen who benefit by the vast markets by this lively trade.

Plans have been completed for the annual outing, from August € to 9, of this unique organiza- tion which seeks out the loveliest spots in the Canadian Rockies and spends four healthy, happy days on Shank's mare touring the valleys, alpine meadows, and rocky country above the timber-While hiking is a popular all-summer sport at Banff Springs Hotels and Chateau Lake Louise, to the Trail Hikers goes credit for popularizing beauty spots off the beaten trails. Like explorers of old, they comb the country for vantage points to witness a spectacular sunset or sunrise, for camera shots to take back home as trophies, and for lakes where the trout bite freely. With a central camp in Larch Valley, the Skyline Trail Hikers of the Canadian Rockies will spend their official four-day outing in leisurely-jaunts through this particularly interesting section of the Rockies. On the closing evening they will have a pow-wow and election of officers.
