"What was the station the conductor called?" she asked the boy. "He didn't announce any sta- tion ; he just put his head in the door and sneezed." "Get the bundles tcgether quickly," said Grandma. "This i.i Os-hkosh." â€" Christian Herald. â€" â€" The editor of a local newspaper aaked hii reader* to tend in remarks on the subject, "Book* that have helped me." One of the re- pliei war: "My mother's cook book and my father's check book." The much preoccupied custom- er walked into the barber shop and sat in a i-'hair next to a wo- man who was having her hair bobbed. "Haircut, pease," ordered the eustomer. "Certainly," said the barber. "But would you mind talking off your hat first?" The man hurriedly removed hia hat. "I'm sorry," he apologized as he looked around; I didn't real- tee there was a lady present!" Hostess (gushingly) "You know, I'vo heard a great deal about you." Politician (a b s e n t I y) i "Possibly, but you can't prove anything." â€" o "What's the matter?" aaked the employer as the sentimental young man came into the office looking rather dejected. "I hardly know how to tell you," replied the young man un- •teadily. "I â€" I â€" have proposed at last â€" and have been turned down." "Oh, that will turn out all right," replied the employer cheerfully. "A woman's 'no' often means 'yes'." "Perhaps it does," was the sor- rowful reply, "but this woman didn't say no; she just laughed." â€" â€" The tenant of the new house was complaining to his landlord about its condition. "It's disgraceful!" he stormed. "Why, there's grass coming up through the ficvr boards in the drawing room!" "Oh, we'll fix that," said the landlord. "I'll send a man 'round with a lawn mower.". .

Particles of copper atoms can be driven deep into the body tis- sues with weak electric currents to destroy the fungus growth that cause athletes' foot and other skin infections. Pari of the static beard in ra- dio receivers has been trac-ed to the Milky Way, where the broad- casting is done by electrons and hydrogen atoms. This conclusion has been reached by University of Chicago scientists. REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER New hope for hay fever victims was held out last week by an Emory ^ Atlanta, Ga.) University physician's report that potassium gluconate tablets had given re- lief to seven of every ten patient* in tests at the st-hool hospital. Experiments conducted with more than 100 patients over an 18-month period indicated potas- sium gluconate is a "good form of relief" although it is "unfor- tunately not a cure." The tablets served to correct "a deficiency of potassium" which had been noted in the tissues of allergic persons. All Highway Jobs In Ontario Cease Construction Work Stops For The Duration Check Soil Drift By Strip Farming It's Being Done In Many Dif- ferent Parts of the Prairie Provinces Considerable progress in the drive against soil drifting was re- ported last week to the national advisory committee on agricultur- al sen-ices by its section on soil drifting. The report said strip farming, which checks the loss of top-soil, had been reported in many parts of the Prairie Provinces. MC-rTLY IN SOUTHERN ALTA. In 1935 only a very small area in the Monarch district of Southern -Alberta was following this practice but by 1940 it is estimated that approximately 80 to 90 per cent of the farmers in Southern .-Vlborta are following tiiis practice while perhaps 60 per cent of the farmers in South Western Sasitatchewan have ad- opted it. All highway consL'-uction all throughout tiie province of Ontario has ceased, carrying out Premier Hi-pbirrn's direction that all govern- ment spending during the war must be cut to a minimum. No more con- tracts for highway construction are to be let for the war's duration, the M:ni»t«r ol Highways, Hon. T. B. McQuesten, said last week due to the poiicy of cutting all government spending to a minimum. Contracts were terminated July 31, including work on the Queen Elizabeth Way between Burlington and Niagara Falls. Between 1,400 and 1,500 men had been employed on this work, while near North Bay and Sudbury a further 700 employ- ed on smaller contracts have also ceflsed work. FIX HIGHWAY NO. 3 TURN "It's the worst highway corner in Wtitern Ontario," declared Mr. Mc- Qutsten in answering the protest of a group of Delhi citizens, against cost and necessity of widening a turn south of Delhi on Highway No. 3. While those protesting the work contended the cost is $190,000, Mr. MoQuesten explained the actual coet ie $10,000. Mr. McQuesten said the work would be proceeded with and the comer widened to remove a dang- erous right angle. It is a danger to i;^fic, he explained, and has caus- ed may accidents. Mr. McQuesten felt that the protest came from res- idents who did not want their pro- pertieo purchased by the depart- ment of highwa.vs for use in widen- ing.
