Q. How can I make a solution for cleaning woodwork? <A, Mix 1 cup of vinegar, 1 cup of kerosene, and 2 cups of warm water. This is excellent for washing enameled. or painted woodwork or furniture, going over a small portion at a time, then drying with a soft cloth, It will rémove grease and dirt, leaving a nice glossy surface. Do not use on varnished surfaces. Q. How paint be washed? " A. A paint brush can be clean- ed by washing it thoroughly in hot soda "water and softe soap, Q. How can I prevent stioki- ness of a waxed floor? A, Try washing up the floor with ice water after waxing it, and then go over the floor with a dry cloth. If this does not help, it is probally due to the fact that the varnish has not dried properly. Q. How can I keep mosquitoes away from the body? A. Kerosene, rubbed on the exposed parts of the arms and body is often very effective in keeping away mosquitoes. The should brushes odor is seldom noticed after a few minutes, Q. How can I bleach white silk that has yellowed? A. Dissolve a tablespoonful of hyposulphite of soda in two -quarts of water and dip the silk in the solution. Rinse in clear water. Dip and rinse several times but do not allow the fabric to stayin the solution for any lowgHC of time. Plea For Trees The value of a tree was re- cently made known by an emin- ent entomologist, who reports that 50 fair sized elms were recently sold for $3,000 apiece and that many, are worth $5,000 each. A tree not only has cash value, but it also: possesses a worth that cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents, says The Guelph Mercury, It is a very simple matter to foster its growth. If 'every prop- erty owner made it a point to plant a tree on available space and refrained from the ruthless . destruction of those already well grown, much would be done to- wards eliminating the follies of promiscuous and thoughtless de- struction, TWO DIEPPE VETERANS BACK IN ACTION ; Cob ni ue veterans, of Dief i Distsred aboard ship © Sicilian battle theatre, ppe, .C.S.M itary Medal-at Dieppe, and Sgt.

The general fenced with him good-humoredly for a time, but the alderman would not be denied. "But sir," he demanded, "surely yours must be a very laborious employment?" "Why, no sir," rejoined the gen- the morning and two or three after dinner, and then we have all the rest of the day to ourselves." Technicians To Be Trained By Mail In Post-War Years Technical training by mail will' be an important factor in voca- tional readjustment after the war. Many young 'mer who left high school and college to enfer the services will look for work when they are demobilized, rely- ing on spare-time study to com- plete their education, coming "familiar with correspond- ence school methods through the courses offered by the Army and Navy Institute, the Marine Corps Institute, and the similar mail. study organizations maintained by the Coast Guard and Maritime Service, as well as through the work carried on-by the Armed Forées Department of the Intér- national Correspondence Schools. While many of the correspond- ence courses they are now study- ing are directed toward war ae- tivities, Dean Strohm says they will turn to the same sort of training for the knowledge and skill they will need to meet the post-war developments of {ndus- try. 4 "most prevalent chronic disabling * the Hospital for Special Surgery, Wife: "Meaning? Why, today's WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING More than 3,000,000 Ameri- cans, many in the prime of life, suffer from arthritis, one of the diseases in that nation, as it also is in. Canada, says The Stratford' Beacon-Herald. But favorable -|- results obtained with a relatively new treatment of 250 cases of the most crippling form of arthri- tis are reported in the current issue of Industrial Medicine by Drs. R. G. Snyder, Willard H, Squires and John W. Forster of New York City. The patients, subjects in a six- year study, previously had failed to respond to the more comnion forms of therapy. Then they were given the. new treatment--huge doses (from 200,000 to 300,900 units per day) of Vitamin D in the form of an electrically acti- vated heat-vhporized ergosterol (Ertron is the trade name). Over extended periods the pa- tients continued to take the cap- sules by mouth. . . - The article charts detailed effects of the vitamin treatment in 50 ferious case On the basis of a check made "fré) vo to three years after the drug was first administered, results in 22 cases were good or excellent, re- sults-in-eight cases poor, and the rest either fair or undetermined ° because patients moved away. In some instances persons whose™ joints appeared hopelessly stiff- ened and swollen were able to resume their normal occupations; one was able to play golf again, another, a star tennis player who had been unable to rise from a sitting position, resumed his game, and a third, all of whose joints were affectedy. made a "complete recovery." - The physicians say that while toxic reactions" from massive doses of Vitamin D of a differ- ent type have caused trouble in the past, Irtron, itself, causes no serious toxicity. Modern Etiquette By Roberta: Lee 1. Would it be all right to address a wedding invitation to "Mr. and Mrs. George L. Smith and Family"? 2, Is it proper for a hostess to offer her hand to callers when receiving them? . 3. Is it considered bad form" for a guest to take a second helping at dinner if it is offered? 4. Is it correct, when writing to a divorced woman, to address the envelope 'Mrs. Grace Wil- son"? 6. Should a girl take her purse with her when going out for an evening of entertainment with an escort? 6. Is it bride's gloves? obligatory for attendants to the wear ANSWERS 1.

Roaming Miss Hikes 25,000 Miles A 16-year-old girl who has hitch-hiked "over 25,000 miles in the past two years with never more than a few cents in her pockets and whose pretty face and clever tongue foiled police when stopped for questioning during her wanderings, came to grief when she was arrested and _ appeared in the Montreal Juve- nie Court charged with not bhe- ing in possession of-a National Registration Card. The case was _ postponed. According to Sgt. Det. 0. Lem- feux and Det. T. Shuttleworth, --of the Montreal police, who ar- rested her, the girl disappeared from her Calgary home two years ago and no report was made im- mediately to -police. She hitch- hiked wherever fancy led and visited all of the nine Canadian provinces, travelling in all over 25,000 miles. Arriving 'in this city, she struck up a friendship with two younger girls and together they left Sat- urday morning on a hitch-hiking jaunt which took them well into Ontario and over a distance of 900 miles. On the trio's return this morning, the detectives, act- -ing on special information, were waiting and the court appearance followed. , Rice and Turnips Lord Woolton, I feel sure, would like to know of a cook who could, make something nice of rice and turnips.
