The Gegeral Motors of Canada, Limited, one of .Capada's greatest producers of motor cars, has select- ed as' iY trade slogan "It's Betler Because It's Canadian" This com- pany is to be congratulated for stressing the idea that what Canada produces is the very best. Canadian- made goods are greatly appreciated in other countries, perhaps more so than right.in our own country. They are the best that can be produced because; in order to gain a hold in foreign markets, they must be a Mit- tle better than other goods. Take our Canadian cheese and butter for. in- stance. These products have to be the very best in the world in order to get into the British market. 'And {they are the best because the Bri- | tish people use them very largely, for they know that our cheese and butter win the highest awards at the British Empire expositions in Lom- don and Glasgow, Our exports are yearly increasing to all lands, show- ing that the consumers abroad ap- ple should realize the truth.

The Bay itself is a vast inland sea, a body of salt water 800 miles long by 500 miles wide; and, according to the report of the com- missioner of. Northern Manitoba, it does not freeze over.

A ELD or a big Female Can Destroy 100 Ibs. of Wool Scientists say that the young grubs of a single female moth can destroy 100 Ibs. of wool in a year. Each moth-worm increases its orig- inal weight 385 times in the ninety days it exists, before it spins a cas- ing and turns into a moth. Spraying poison onto the cover- ing of a Chesterfield is only a makeshift proposition. It leaves the interiors unprotected--an easy prey to moths. And, even if the fillings as well as the exteriors were sprayed of dipped\in a moth poison, the poison would evaporate in time. For example: Arsenic dries into dust and evaporates in the air. Gasoline kills moths, but it, also, evaporates. The only way to make coverings and interiors permanently moth- proof is not to use a poison but to of birds * flying they ££ were going landward.

They cannot live and grow unless they can find an ingre- dient known to science by the name of "keratin." 'This "keratin" is contained in wool, feathery, hair, fur, bristles and many other mater. ~~ ials. "Keratin" is to a moth-worm what milk is to a baby. Abso- lutely indispensable. Moth Worms Cannot Exist The industrial chemists and sci. entists who, after years of research, discovered and perfected the moth- proofing process used by Snyder's Limited, found a chemical com- peund that would change this "keratin" and make it uneatable to moth-worms, for the entire life of the fabric. 'Moth-worms simply cannot exist on a material given this mothproofing treatment, because, lacking "keratin," there is no food in it for them.
