Crown Attorney McGib- bon ascertained from a Montreal branch of the Bank of Nova Sco- tia that Mazur left a balance of $400 in a savings account.

Phone 51 [ANADIAN NATIONAL PRUDERY REWARDED (From the Vancouver Sun) In the middle of the famous Bos- ton Common is a pool where little children go bathing on hot summer days. The thing is very informal; most of the youngsters come from very poor families, and most of the cos- tumes are quite sketchy. But Boston, stald as it is, is used to them and doesn't mind. The other day, though a stout and testy gentleman happened along and was horrified. He sum- moned a group of six-year-olds ana harangued themr: "You children should be asham- ed for appearing in such indecent attire. If I had anything to say about it I would forbid you to come on the Common. It's positively ise gusting what decent peple have to stand for these days. We are very, very happy to re- port that a group of older people sitting on nearby benches, prompt- ly arose and tossed the evil-mind- ed old meddler into the pond. POLITENESS TO VISITORS (Glencoe Transcript) Just to the extent that we treat our summer visitors with courtesy and respect will we increase their desire to speak well and favorably of us when they have gone away. Every day during the summer months tourists stop and ask in- formation. Such information should be given with correctness and a desire to be of real service. It will be welcomed and increase their desire to visit us again. Summer visitors spend annually millions of dollars in Ontario in search of warm weather recreation. Of late years catering to their needs has become one of our larg- est business institutions. -- --------r onTAnie SEALED TENDERS addressed to the un- dersigned, and endorsed "Tender for Recon- struction of Pier, Beaverton, Ont," will be received until 12 o'clock noon (daylight sav- ing), Friday, August 24, 1928, for the re- construction of pier, at Beaverton, Ontario County, Ont.

TWO USEFUL HINTS A Scap Economy Keep all scraps of toilet soap and when enough have accumulated break them up, pour hot water over them and let them simmer on the stove until soft. Add a little borax and olive oil if desired--although these may be omitted--then pour the mix- ture into the kind of rounded paste- board containers that are used to hold ice cream and similar things. Fill each container only to a height of one-half or three-quarters of an inch, When hard, the soap is in the form of a rather thin round cake, at- tractive looking and nice for hand- ling. When raw eggs are to be dropped into a bowl, first rinse out the bowl with cold water; the eggs will not stick to it. Similarly, the spoon or fork used for beating eggs should | be chilled.
