How Can Iilln -IAIIIQAIIIOU

. Q. How can a Cl'IllI1IIeyi3TO be extinguished quickly?

A- 8! throwing a handful of sulphur on the fire and closing the bottom draft. The fumes or the sulphur will ascend the chimney and put out the flame almost im- mediately. Where possible danger of such a fire exists it would be well to keep a can of sulphur nesrby to meet the emergency.

Q. How can I pick up broken pieces of glass easily?

A. Even the smallest pieces can be easily picked up by patting gently with .1 bit of wet absorbent cotton, or a damp woolen cloth. which can afterwards be burned.

Q. How can I whiten and purify I sponge?

A. Soak the sponge in milk and thoroughly rinse in warm water with a little carbolic acid.

LIVER. LIVER EXTRACT STILL BEST TREATMENT FOR- l'EBNIC....US ANEMIA

Wlien Dre. Minot and Murphy were able to prove to the medical profession that liver and liver ex- tract could control pernicious an- emia. (then a fatal disease). there was widespread relief. All that yl'l)'SlClIl'lS had been able to do up to this time was keep the patients alive for months. or perhaps a few years at most, with blood trans- fusions.

As calf liver had been used in the experiments of Drs. Minot and Murphy, caif's liver only was used, so that the price went up from a few cents to well over a dollar a pound. Fortunately. it was found that beef, pork and lamb liver would give results almost as good as calf's liver.

The next step was to make liver inviting to the patient. The Pres- byterian Hospital. New York City. published a. leaflet giving 57 dif- ferent methods of cooking and preparing liver.

Then followed the manufacture of liver extract to be taken by mouth or injection, which was a long step forward in the treatment of pernicious anemia.

Then it was discovered that follc acid would strengthen the blood.

But for the. quick thinking of Mrs. Susan Pannebaker, Ottawa schoolteacher, Mrs. Doris Levey and her four small children might have died from coal gas poisoning. It .1111 started when R.C.A.F. Cpl. Eric Levey, on leaving home for work. thought that his splitting headache, and the dizzy and be- fuddled condition of his wife and four children was due to "some- thing we had eaten the night be-

An open radio set accumulates in great amount of dust in time. Try using the long hose of your electric vacuum cleaner with the blower attached and holding it close to the dusty parts. This will clean them very shortly with no harm done to the radio.

Sodium Fluoride: This is a white powder which most drug stores stock. It makes a suitable poison for most troublesome insects, act- ing both as a stomach and con- tact poison. It is soluble in water and ought not to be used on plants because it burns foliage. As lime neutralizes its killing properties. it should be mixed with flour or sulphur. Poisonous to man and beast, care should be used in its handling. The package must be marked POISON.

The most common ant found in homes is the Pharohls ant and the tiny thief ant. These two look alike and are 1-15 to l-10 of an inch long. The use of poison baits is an effective method of destroy- ing those pesky little creatures.

O ' I 0 Although Canada is free from Bubonic plague, it is interesting to note that in India, where this dread disease flares up frequently. its chief carrier is the rat flea. The flea feeds upon rats infested with the disease and then con- tacts humans giving them the disease. . . . We have three distinct species in our province, namely: the dog flea, the cat flea and the poultry flea. . . Like most insects, the house fly passes through four stages in its life cy- cle .- adult, ess. larva and pupa. The female fly has been known to produce six generations in a single season. Contrary to the general notion. the fly does not freeze and then come to life in the spring. Those that survive through the winter do so because they happen to find warm quarters. St. Helena is best known as the British prison of the vanquished Napoleon. strange contrasts are seen in its landscape, and almost anything will grow on its green. fertile plains. There's only 20 de- g.rees difference in summer and winter temperatures. Weird, fan- tastic rocks are silhouetted against the sky - ”'Purk's Cap" and "Let's Wife" among' them. And there are no snakes on the island. . . .

Snowflakes surpass every other collection of crystals both in beauty and design. They are made up of only pure crystallized wat- er, but no human artist could hope to match the millions of exquisite- ly beautiful crystals of the snow and what is even more amazing:

No two snowflakes are exactly alike. . . There is one mother that can boast of having five

thousand or more children. Can you name her? of course you can. She's the queen bee. . T old Testament contains 929 chap- ters and there are only 260 in the New. or 1180 chapters in the Book of Books. If you make a New Year's resolution to read the Bible from cover to cover, you'll have to read three chapters each day and five on Sunday. I I C

Q I; An Island I'snncr'I Wile Now that the sable of night en- folds our countryside senuv. wrapping quietly 5111' we look back along the hours of our day to chose from its hours some of the items we would in- scribe on memory's page. There are many sunbeam: wandering .. stealing in at a window to en- courage an opening bud; happy faces about the farm-work; a farm-trail winding along the win- ter fields; a wud duck on wing, and to put the day to rest, a still twilight stealing down from the hill-iops. others too, we remem- ber . . . .It is a singular thing that in some circumstances. while we lay no claim at all to possess- ing in treasure even a part of "a masculine mind," yet we often find we evaluate happenings from the point of view of our fannars. We suppose we have acquired this, or more likely it has been thrus upon us. by living pa number of years in a predominantly mas- culine household. So that when we stop to weigh recent events on this farm. balancing them one

with the other, it is to find that the -best of all today was the ar- rival at Alderlea today, of the farmars' latest purchase - the

new mare. And yet from a femin- ine perspective, good and satisfy- ing as this has been to the fam- ily, another we enjoyed which also inspired. ' 0 O C Yielding to the advice received by eye and ear to "Shop now - while the January Sales continue . . . Stock up on cottons and lin- ens!" and knowing from experi- ence tbst the practice is sound and oontributes in good measure to maintaining a cairn mind, when spring-time duties crowd in with the help of the daughters-in-law who purchased in our behalf. we added today to our store. Not in any great quantity did we buy. but cannily, remembering that there will be many a strain on the farmers' resources before another harvest has presented its returns. And yet enough to lift one's spirits appreciably and al- ford us inspiration, as indeed does even a small purchase to a house- wife. "When I feel dejected and orlorn -- and hard to live with. do you know what I do, Ellen?" an older arid very wise woman of our acquaintance chuckled to us when we talked on this subject recently. "Open a new book or magazine" we gave her our guess, "or perhaps stroll off for a 'kaley?' " "Neither!" she returned. "I postpone what- ever work I had planned to do and at once make some excuse to go to town for a. spell of shopping." I I I

"If I feel that my world has be- come unbearable altogether" she chuckled "I buy me a new dress - oh.' it may be only a house-dress but at any rate it's new and pretty. Or a new hat! There, Ellen," she said with enthusiasm "that's some- thing that will beat a doctors pre- scription or on occasion" she smiled "a sermon. for inspiration! And nowadays a new hair-do goes with this, and who will dare to say that a trip to the hair-dress- ers' does not in itself give a de- cided uplift to jaded spirit.sl" "But supposing your pocket-book won't allow you to indulge in these at the moment" we asked recalling on our own account slim. fuller, or no purse at all. "What then:" "Then, she rejoined carn- estiy "I should count up what I had - yes. sir, down to the last cent. and buy me something else. Perhaps only a bright remnant to make a cushion - a colorful bit of wool for some knitting... or a dish-cloth, Ellen! In gay colors even that to use about her kitchen can bolster a housewlfe's spiritsi" I I I

So today we replenished our store of household linen . .. But "Lawk-a-mercy-me!” What an up- roar falls now on our ears! It is James begging us loudly to "Open that door. Ellen!" -which act re- vealed nothing more than a man and a great a.rmful of kindllingl

it Sponging Relatives

These Kinfolk Make Hospitality Screen For Out-And-Out Robbery

DEAR SS DIX: How much do We owe to our relatives? My husband is a man on a small salary. It takes a lot of managing for our own family to live on what he makes. but ever since We have been married we have had relatives who came uninvited io plant

- themselves down on us for support. Often they brought their whole families with them.

Yesterday my youngest orotner quit his job. which he does every winter, and came here. but; and baggage, with the lnienllon of spending the winter with us. When I told him he would ii-ave to try to find some other place to park as i couldn't afford to support him, he got perfectly furious with me. None of lhese relatives wno sponge on us even offered us a crust of bread . when my husband was sick, but as soon as he was able to work ugaln they descended on us. Don't you think I am right to turn the welcome sign down on the doormat?

WORRIED WIFE

ANSWER: indeed I do. and as grafting relatives have no fine sensibilities that make them take a gentle hint. you will do well if you will double padlock your door as well. Your first duty is to your own family. and you fail in that when you work your poor husband to death In order to support your kinspeople. He didn't marry your family when he married you. and there is no more reason why he should provide for them than any other strangers.

. DON'T LET THEM DO IT

Hospitality is one of the most beautiful of the virtues. but it h-- comes a vice when you let dcsdbeata make it the screen for a hold- up. and that is what is only too often done. All of us have relatives or so-called friends who use our houses to save themselves from pay- ing hotel bills and who wish themselves upon us for lntermlnahie visits whenever they lose a job or feel as if they would like to have a llitle rest and change. or a vacation that costs them nothing.

That they come uninvited. that.they put us to trouble and incon- venience and force us to spend money on them that we cannot afford. is nothing to them. They are getting what they want and they should worry. If they are despicable parasites. we are contemptible softzes and fools for putting up with it.

We should have enough courage to any to them that we are not running free hotels. that we have all that we can do to support our own families and that they will have to find shelter elsewhere. if this makes them angry. as it probably will, so much the better.

DEAR MlSS'DlX: I am a born cook and I am married t.o a min whose only weakness is a fondness for well-prepared food. and. as he does everything in the world to make me happy. I prepare his meals myself. although we could well afford a cook. This please: my hut.- band and he boasts that he has an Antoine in his kitchen. But my mother and sisters, not one of whom could cook a decent meal. ure raising a rumpus over it and telling me that I am belittling myself doing my own cooking. I am getting sick and tired of their criticisms and see no reason why I shouldn”t do the thing that pleases myself and my husband. Do you? I
