It is true that skin cancer is more common among farmers and sailors, who are exposed to the sun much of the time; but even for these outdoor men it is a rare affliction. and often does appear in places on the skin that never are exposed to sun- shine. Some skin disorders, notably eczema, are made worse by sunlight. Others, like acne and psoriasis, may be greatly improved. A few people are so sensitive to sun- shine that they blister and peel after the slightest exposure. The latest ex- periments indicate that sensible sun bathing is beneficial to all but these Sensitive few. When you go to the beach be careful to avoid overexposure, because severe sumburn can be tem. porarily disabling. Remember that the diffused light of a hazy summer day may be nearly as stimulating as the direct rays of the sun. Remem- ber, too, that sunlight reflected from sand or water can burn. -On a recent voyage from England to India the men on.a troop ship were required to take daily sun baths clad only in swimming trunks. On the first day the length of the exposure was 10 minutes to the front of their bodies and 10 minutes to the back. If noth- fs more than slight redness resulted the exposure was increased to 20 minutes on each surface for the next three days. After that it was main- tained at 30 minutes daily for a week. By that time most of the men were tanned and they were allowed to sun- bathe freely. They were not permit- ted to wear their shirts or helmets while on deck. Men with blond skins were given special care, but by the end of the voyage all were deeply browned. The medical officer reported im- provement in the general health of the troops during the long trip. There was a diminution of minor skin dis- orders like acne, ringworm and prickly heat. There were no cases of severe sunburn or heatstroke. On ar- rival in the tropics the men were ready to take the field at once without further acclimatization. The value of the experiment was startlingly appar- ent when the men were compared with other British soldiers already in India. Although some of the veterans had been in the tropics for years, their bodies were still white and sensitive to the sun. They were unable to work or fight without hot and cumbersome shirts and helmets. But aside from strictly scientific considerations there's no denying that tanning becomes most people and it obscures minor skin blemishes. A coat of tan, suggesting the glow of good health, can act as a tremendous psy- chological boost to an invalid's morale. TENNIS RESTRINGING AND REPAIRING H.E.

Let us accept this fact wholeheartedly, for in order to accomplish the miracle of retaining beauty with the passing years, we must first believe that we can! With the years comes wisdom -- more will power -- an inspiring philo- sophy about life -- an ability to be unconcerned about annoying trifles. All these things must be acknowledged and used to advantage. They are the foundations upon which you can build an unshakable poise--an affectionate regard for all the lovevly things of life -- an understanding sympathy for your fellow creatures' faults as well as their virtues. Avoid criticism in all its forms. Learn to look upon life, in all its strange variety and pronounce it good. This is for your soul! In so doing you will forget how to worry. Find a philosophy that gives you peace and confidence. When you have thus put your inner house in order, and your life flows from day to day like a beautiful song, there will be nothing within that can rob you of your youth. When you have accom- plished this you are ready to turn to the outer things that will help keep you young. Stay in love! you are in love with life, and all the commonplace duties become events of beauty. Love is the vvitality of living --the very soul of youth. You are your loveliest when you are in love. Keep a large bottle of witch hazel on ice. When you have time to rest, soak a piece of muslin in the cold witch hazel and wrap it around your neck. Coat your eye area lightly with tissue cream and then place a cold witch hazel pad over the eyes. Lie flat on your back with your head lower than your body. You will rise with eyes bright, young and rested.' The witch hazel pack tightens the skin of the throat, making it firm and lovely. ) Did you know that castor oil is nature's skin rejuvenator? Many doc- tors recommend it to remove simple blemishes. It is one of the most ef- fective wrinkle eradicators. Patted lightly into the affected areas it will nating the skin tissues and building them up firm and healthy. You can druggist for a few pennies and you will find it more effective than many of the expensive oils manufactured and sold as wrinkle removers. Lastly, guard your diet closely if you would stay ever-young. Eat only simple foods that are vital and alive --fresh fruits, salads, vegetables and juices. A sensible system of eating is not hard to follow, once you make up your mind to do it. Don't talk about diet. Just make up your mind you won't care for desserts and elaborate highly seasoned dishes. Then indulge to your heart's content in the simple whole-. some foods that fill you full of energy and youth. It's fun!

CS ei cian te 'work on technical THE STRATFORD MIRROR Chemistry Giving World 'Tailor-Made' Rubber than rubber In peace or in war, more three-quarters of Canada's goes into tires and tubes, and the ton- nage of tires produced in Canada last year would be many times that for any pre-war year. Canada's achievements in synthetic military tire production are reviewed by John Harwood-Jones in the current issue of C-I-L Oval and the prophecy is made that, given two, three or four years more and an opportunity to developments, it will be possible to produce synthetic tires of even better qualities and characteristics than was ever possible with natural rubber. The greatest potential advantage of synthetic over natural rubber lies in the fact that the varieties of natural rubber are limited, while the possible variations in formula of synthetic rub- ber are unlimited. The tire manufacturing industry has achieved miracles since 1941, aided by the industrial chemist who stepped into the breach with synthetic rubber. 'The enormous demands of the fighting forces, however, leave no cause for optimism among civilian motorists 'who must face the grim fact that the tires now on their cars probably must serve for three to five years. It is pointed out that synthetic rub- bers are not, strictly speaking, rubber at all, but are "soft plastics.' The chief problems in the conversion from natural to synthetic rubber were met in the making of large-size tires. Syn- thetics were successfully used in small-size tires from the beginning, but as the size of the tire increased the difficulties also were greater. A larger percentage of natural rubber was required in the large tires used, on British and Canadian army. vehicles than on the smaller dual rear tires used by the United States army. The use of natural rubber with synthetic is an intricate matter and the natural rubber has to be put, with economy always the watchword, in those places where its special qualities will do most good. The substitution of rayon cord for cotton helped+over- come the effect of heat, chief enemy of the heavy duty tire. THE REASON The reason people pass one door To patronize another store, Is not because the busier place Has better silks or gloves or lace, Or cheaper prices; but it lies In pleasing words and smiling eyes.

Instructions For Making Tender, Fluffy Biscuits The bride's cooking has always been a target for jokers. whether she de- serves it or not. Their jokes invari- ably run to tea biscuits, but poor bis- cuit makers are not limited to brides only. Today, the home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion depart- ment of Agriculture, give some rea- sons for biscuit failures, and explicit ways of avoiding them. Too much fat makes crumbly, com- pact biscuits; however, with too little fat they will not be tender, and the crust may be hard and pale in color. The amount of liquid determines the softness. Too much liquid may re: sult in a hard crust and the biscuits will not hold their shape. Too little liquid results in a hard biscuit with a taste of uncooked flour. The fat and flour must be blended lightly until the mixture resembles coarse meal This can be done deftly with the fingers or with a special wire blender. The shape and texture also depends largely on the way in which the dough is handled. A little kneading is ne- cessary but only for about half a min- ute--to produce light,. fluffy, well- shaped biscuits. If the dough is not kneaded the biscuits are apt to be crusty and flat but light--but with too much handling they may be tough, flat and close grained. " Biscuits should be placed well apart on the baking sheet if crusty sides are preferred. It is better to use a sheet or a pan with low sides as this helps to give a better texture and color. ; A very hot oven, 425 degrees, bakes the biscuits quickly and prevents dry- ing. The liquid may be milk, tomato juice or water. Tomato juice adds flavor and gives a slightly pink bis- cuit. As they dry out very quickly when made with tomato juice or water they are best when used hot and fresh. Tea Biscuits 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons fat 2, cup milk Mix and sift dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening, using finger tips or a pastry blender, until mixture resem- bles coarse meal. Add milk slowly and mix to a soft dough. Roll to %- inch thickness on a floured board. Cut, place in a baking sheet and bake in a very hot oven, 425 deg. F., for 12 to 15 minutes. Variations Tomato Dumplings Heat 1% cups tomato juice to boil- ing point and pour into a square cake pan. Place biscuits in the hot to- mato juice and bake as plain biscuits. These dumplings may also be cooked in a saucepan on top of the stove if desired but they will not have the brown, crusty top.

If each of these factors is not satisfactorily done, it may mean years of impaired vision. During my ten years as manager of The Tait Optical Co., I have given our patients that professional personal at- tention which gave such satisfactory results. ~ Since taking over from The Tait Co. I have received many expressions of con- fidence and continued patronage, which is indeed appreciated and in return as- sure a personal service fully satisfactory in all details. ww Tait-Kelly Optical Co.
