All Home-Grown Tobacco Used Only’ 30 per cent of the leaf used in the manufacture of tobacco in Canada in 1938 was Canadian- grown, but, as a result of the im­ provement in the quality of tobacco grown in Canada through the re­ search and practical work of the Tobacco Division, Dominion Experi­ mental Farms Service, 92 per cent of Canadian Leaf was used in 1940. In 1942 it is stated that 100 per cent of the tobacco manufactured in Can­ ada was home grown. This means that a very substantial increase in revenue has been secured for the 7,000 farmers in Canada engaged in the production of tobacco, as well as much greater prosperity for the tobacco growing districts. In 1940 the gross sale value of tobacco in Canada amounted to $108,471,000, of which $59,345 was collected in excise duties and taxes. The Tobacco Division, to which the great improvement of Canadian to­ bacco is mainly due, is the only in­ stitute in Canada where investiga­ tional work is conducted with this crop. Dr. N. A. Meltae of the Divis­ ion Is Technical" AdyiAor the To­ bacco Administrator under the War­ time Prices and Trade Board.

HQWt, Minirtur Airmen Boosting National Parks Ottawa — An unforeseen by-pro­ duct of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan may be an unus- ual flood of visitors to the national parks of Canada after the war, ac­ cording to parks officials at Ottawa,, Enthusiasm for the parks expressed by airmen in Canada who have been fortunate enough to spend leave or reconditioning periods in them, 'and who are carrying their praises to all parts of the world, will have this result. Tourist travel on’an unprecedent­ ed scale is expected after the war. This will be due- in part’ to the de­ sire for travel which is being stem­ med by present conditions, in part to the fame which Canada is attain- on the battlefronts of the world, and in part to the reports about our national parks which are being 'carried to the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, thj? United States, and elsewhere, by soldiers, sailors and airmen who have been fortunate 'to visit them. Meanwhile the parks are being used by Canadians 'to a surprising degree. Transportation restrictions have shut off most of the long dis­ tance travel, but residents both of town and country are making use of the parks within reasonable reach as places to maintain bodily health and mental morale. The vacation season just ended was remarkable for the number, of Canadians in the parks, many of them in the unifoijn of the Armed Forces. Expenditures on the parks during the war^Cr? limited-to the minimum amount necessary to maintain these national properties, but great devel­ opments are foreseen with the return of peace.

WOODSTOCK - ONT. The North Pacific Planning Project From the agricultural point of view, the Northwest is Canada’s last great frontier where climatic conditions are reasonably good for crop production. About two years ago Canada and the United States joined forces and organized a body called the North « Pacific Planning Project. The general objective of this project is the continued close co-operation between the two coun­ tries in studying the problems pre­ sented in the economic development of the Northwestern part of the North American continent, especially Alaska, Yukon, and Northern Brit­ ish Columbia, and also involving Central British Columbia, Northern Alberta, and the Mackenzie basin. In the first three areas, more than 800,000 square miles in Canada and a similar area in Alaska are in­ cluded. Anticipating that there would be need for investigations into the po­ tential agriculture, the Dominion De­ partments of Agriculture and of Mines and Resources formed a joint committee of which Dr. E. S. Archi­ bald, Director, Dominion (Experimen­ tal Farms '■ Service was appointed Chairman, This committee has been busily engaged for over a year in assembling available data, -mainly supplied by the sub-stations which have been maintained by the Experi­ mental Farms in the Yukon and the Mackenzie basin for over twenty years. Reliable data from other sources in the Northwest were scarce but the deficiency is gradually being made good by the efforts of the Committee. on to the Navy League the maga­ zines we handle each week.

On applica­ tion to that office, the free freight frank, kindly donated by the rail­ ways, will be given.

Thrifty grand­ mothers, whose wonderful soups we’ve heard so much about, had an ever-burning kitchen fire to work with. They could keep their stock pots on top of the stove because the constant heat was too high for the growth of dangerous bacteria. Now, it is necesary to conserve every kind of fuel, but we need not •worry about the soup pot—use low heat to draw out the flavour without boiling the liquid away, and then place it in the refrigerator to pre­ vent spoilage and taste. Meat flavour is the soul of a stock pot, so begin by collecting leftover bones from roasts, steaks, chops or poultry. (Buy a raw soup bone oc­ casionally, but always have the but­ cher crack it for you.) Cover the bones with cold water, add drippings from roasts, steaks, sliced raw on­ ion, raw carrots, celery and celery tops, parsley, a bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cover; bring to boiling point, simmer 1 to m hours. Strain; cool. Skim off fat that rises to top and use it for other cooking. Pour stock into a fruit jar, seal and store it in the refrigerator. RECIPES Basic Sapper Chowder 2 large potatoes, chopped or grated. 2 large onions, chopped or sliced. 1 pound hamburger 1 quart milk Salt and pepper __ Quick to make, delicious and in­ expensive. A Cover the potato*?, onions and P I L E S With a record of M yea» u a moat Mtia-Cartory treatment fee pilta or hcmorrhoal*,you can poaitmly dqpad on Dr. Chase'S Ointment SALFORD Qaick Split Pea Soup 2 cups green dried peas 2 quarts water 2 small onions, chopped 1 grated carrot Salt and pepper to taste 1 bay leaf 1-4 teaspoon thyme 2 stalks chopped celery or 1-2 cup chopped celery tops Mix the ingredients and boil for 20-25 minutes. Strain through sieve or colander; reheat and serve. Thrifty Changes Use leftoverham or chicken stock in place of water. Chopped bacon will give a delicious flavour for a change. A dash of cayenne pepper or pepper sauce if you like it. Garlic minced fine and added while cooking will be a good change, served with thinly sliced wieners on top. After straining, 1 cup thick tomato juice may be added. Hot milk or cream (about 1 c.) may be added. Creamed Vegetable Soups Delicious cream soups may be made from leftover or freshly cooked vegetables, such as peas, cabbage, spinach beet tops, onions, or cauli­ flower. Press the vegetables through a sieve, and to each cupful of veget­ able pulp add 2 cups milk. Heat to the boiling point, season with salt and pepper to taste, and thicken with a little flour—about 1 table­ spoon flour and milk mixed to a smooth paste. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add 1 tablespoon butter just before serving. This makes two large servings or three small servings. Corn, cooked or fresh, may be used in the same way without pressing through a sieve. TAKE A TIP: T. Meat broth is the perfect medium for the growth of bacteria, and once bacteria starts, spoilage can quickly result. 2.

But Fort Beausejour in New Bruns­ wick, knew little of the real horrors of war. For both the French who built it and the English who later captured it, the fort was, as its name would suggest, "a good place in which to stay”. Within its walls there were dancing and feasting, laughter and merry-making, rivall­ ing the days when Champlain insti­ tuted his famous “Order of the Good Time” at Port Royal Habita­ tion. Attacked in 1755, before its actu­ al completion, the fort was captured after a short Beige by the English under Monckton, Following its cap­ ture the fort was strengthened and its defences extended by a system of entrenchments, traces of which still remain. In 1926 the site, including an area of 59 acres, was established as a National Historic Park, and since that time considerable restoration work has been carried out. Import­ ant historical events associated with the fort have been commemorated by the erection of suitable memor­ ials. A large stone museum has been constructed near the entrance to the park grounds; and contains an interesting collection of exhibits relating to the historic Isthmus of Chignecto and the surrounding region. a successful auction sale in theMoariey Public School House onFriday evening last.

So, Jn spite of the fact that Neilson’s Chocolate Bars are being produced in the maximum quantity, in accordance with wartime restriction* on the use of raw materials, they are naturally in short supply.

First unpick the seams and dip the gar­ ment in gentle suds that won't shrink woollens. When the materia) is thoroughly dry and clean, outline the new pattern on it with a coloured thread or chalk. Then simply mach- . ine around the outlined pattern, leaving room for seams, and away the surplus material. You will find that pressing trans­fers most of the dust in a suit tothe pressing cloth and brufh, so be sure to give them both a good wash after each using, in soapy-rich, grease-dissolving suds. Then they’ll be ready for the next time. And one thing more. Press the uniform BE­ FORE hubby shines his brass. Other­ wise he’ll have the job to do all over again. cut Most women, i»y the time they’ve been married a few months, have made a stab or two at ironing their husband’s suits. These days, how­ ever. more often than not, it’s a uni­ form they try their hand at first so here are a few pointers to help you master the art of turning hubby out in a manner to delight the ser­ geant’s heart They will also stand you in good stead when life gets back to normal and you start press­ ing his civies. First brush the uniform thorough­ ly, particularly on the insides ,of pockets and cuffs, if any. UslP a pressing cloth and if possible, a sponge. With a sponge you can dampen the pressing cloth evenly as you work, and thus avoid having to pause every few seconds and wring the cloth out in water. Begin by pressing all around the top of the trousers. Then to the legs.- Press each leg separately, inside and out, letting original creases guide you. Iron in a circular motion, always lifting the press cloth before it’s dry to avoid shine. With a clothes­ brush sweep and beat vigorously to raise the nap. When both trouser legs are thoroughly pressed and brushed, place together and go over the creases to make them sharper. The tunic is next, and always re­ member that good tailoring calls for uncreased sleeves. If you haven't a sleeve board, roll a towel and a magazine together in a firm roll, towel outside, and use this for a sleeve board. Do the sleeves first, then the back, the tiwo fronts and the lapels, taking care all the time to raise the press cloth before it’s dry. Ruity Bathtub* Rust stains on porcelain sinks and bathtubs should be removed as soon as possible if you want your plumb­ ing fixtures to last, and if you, catch the rust soon enough it’s fairly easy to remove. Make a fairly thick paste of scouring powder and coal oil. rub this on the stain, and wash off with hot all-pure, extra-soapy suds. If this does not entirely re­ move the mark, leave a solution of Javelle water or other liquid bleach —one tablespoon of bleach to a gal­ lon of water—standing in the sink or bathtub overnight.

Drink a Cup u Day Drive fatigue away Sweater-dickey Fabric dickeys that take the place of blouses have been popular for several years now. They save needed goods, they’re quick when you dress, easy to wash, and easy to ’press. Well, the latest to gain favour with conservation-minded people is the sweater-dickey. A single ball of wool will knit up into a smart wool dickey that fits snugly inside the front of a suit coat and looks exactly like a sweater. You needn't even buy a new ball of wool. You’ll find enough wool for your purpose in al­ most any discarded wool garment lying around the house—a scarf, a baby sweater, a pair of mitts or socks. Rip the garment up, tie in two or three places to form a skein, and dip this skein in mild, luke­ warm suds that are safe for any­ thing safe in water alone. Rinse thoroughly and allow to drip dry. This will remove kinks and straigh­ ten the wool out nicely. Now to the knitting: Knit the frbnt of the dickey in a straight piece about nine inches wide and eighteen inches long, be­ ginning, of course, with ribbing for the waistband. A sweater pattern will be of help in casting off at shoulders and finishing the neckline in whatever style you prefer. A plain, rounded neckline that hugs the throat is the easiest to make and is also the warmest back, cut out any piece of plain material the’same size as the knitted piece, sew the two together at the shoulders and finish off both front and back with tapes at the waist For the STeilsun’K, H lb.

It is ’really good to be able to read a home town paper for a chhnge Victoriaville, P.Q. October 20, 1943 Dear Sir:—I would like in this let­ ter to express my appreciation for the leather money belt which I re­ ceived as a gift from your Club, when last home. It is a gift well re­ ceived and appreciated. I’d like also at this time to put forth a suggestion which has occurr­ ed to me many times but which prev­ iously I neglected to mention. I believe that in late years, hockey, as well as other sports, has declined in Ingersoll, due in large part, no doubt, to the war. My idea, however, was to have each local Service Club sponsor a “Pee-Wee,’’ Midget and possibly juvenile team in the various sports. In this way more competition and interest would be aroused, both amongst the players and citizens, since many of the latter belong to at least one Service Club. Just a suggestion, but maybe it’s worth a try-! Thanking you again for the gift, I remain, Sincerely ydurs, Bill Bowes. resident of Woodstock. He was a machinist by trade.

A | short resume of the talks will be given at the meetings for the benefit of those who -are unable to listen to the broadcasts. An important item of business discussed resulted from a letter from headquarters concerning the adoption of a school- in the north country. Following the discussion, in which the members showed much interest, the chapter felt it was their duty and decided to adopt a New Canadian School in Norhcrn Ontario. The school will be furnished with a library in the near future. The usual donations were voted to (election in the not too distant future! and heightened by the recent turn of events or crisis in some domestic problems. xbvv. Luinming. oi ouiioru.

TROUBLE FORESEEN Notwithstanding the sensational headlines in the press or the news on the air announcing the recent out­ break of strikes in the coal mines of Western Canada, yet quite a long time prior to these announcements such action had been foreseen ns a distinct probability in some quarters along Parliament Hill. It had been known that dissatisfaction was com­ mon among these miners * aifil that a walk-out was more than likely un­ der the circumstances, though under i the conditions of colder weather in 1 certain sections of this country, the vital need for more and more coal i in war industries and the possibility of a shortage in general, such inter­ ruption of fuel production was a most undesirable, development, es­ pecially since the production of no less than 18,000,000 'tons of coal had been considered as the essential goal -for this year and this objective could mot be attained if walk-outs or strikes threatened aueh production and these were not avoided,, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT An important sign pf Canada’s ec­ onomic developments or reactions in this war can be obtained by the man-in-the-street from the informa­ tion released in the nation’s capital about the much greater activities and much better efficiency of this country’s railways, with the latest news showing that actually a new monthly record was estbalished in September of 1943 for tonnage of revenue freight loaded. The record figure was no less than 8,981,000 tons as compared with the previous highest mark of 8,749,000 tons of October in 1942. Last year, the September figure was 7,092,000 tons so that the gain was 16.7 per cent The total for the nine months of this year has been, indicated as 72,- 929,000 tons as compared with 67,- 300,000 tons in the same period of last yeag or an actual increase of 8.3 per cent, with the total number of cars loaded by Canadian railways in that period being 2,530,000 tons as against 2,501,000 last year. 19* « 31*“BE WISE - DI'INK FBI'S- FRY’S CQCOA w PALATABLE a HIGHLt NUTRITft'E aa A S A m fK A fs.'te49*CHECK YOUR SUPPtl OF a AJHkAlS u B M A taco Mazdp Idkmps 'S* 15^ i SOUTH AFRICAN CUT | f OVERSEAS i\ Mixed Peel» 29c( CREAM OF 5(TARTAR -15c;I GROUND •iGINGER 2 k 15c;!

Indeed, the role which Canada has been play­ ing in this drama on the internation­ al scene has been stressed again and again, with'•one other than Canada’s 'Minister .of -Agriculture, Hon. James G. Gardiner, offering the-latest prediction that this coun­ try may be able to obtain the same total anwunt of food in the next year'as In^thia yean though condi- Arrangements ue being made foran informal party early in tie New Year. It was decided to dispense with the December meeting. ' BUSINESS, BOOM The man-in-the-street throughout Canada will be deeply impressed with the report in Ottawa that this country’s spectacular industrial and commercial growth on account of the war has caused this nation’s total external trade in the first seven months of 1943 to reach the almost unbelievable figure of $457,409,- 1956, with the exports, excepting gold, being no less than the tre­ mendous amount of $304,000,000.| The meaning of these developments jean be judged by the man-in-the- street when it is disclosed that dur­ ing the same period of the first cal­ endar year of this war, that is in 1940, Canada's total trade was only $191,000,000 as against this year’s amount of $457,409,956 and the ex­ ports in that year were less than one-third of this year’s figures. Moreover, it is most interesting to learn at the. same time that Can­ ada’s exports to Britain in that same period of 1943 were <574,000,000 and the imports less than $80,- 000,000, producing an enormous credit in this Country against the Motherland. However, the situation was different in the trade relations between Canada and the United States in that same period of this year since Canada’s exports to the United States were $612,000,000 and her imports were $810,000,000. Nevertheless, a general analysis of Canada’s transactions with other nations as revealed in these latest external trade figures in Ottawa stresses in no uncertain manner that the war has caused an unpre­ cedented and historical change aswell as growth in Canada’s whole national economy, with, the outlook for this country's position in ’trade on the international scene being much more impressive than it was before the outbreak of thia .way, and } HARRY • j HORNE'S • CUSTARD ■ • POWDERS ! t-o«.

Again Agriculture Minister J. G. Gardiner makes a special appeal that all farmers, especially those in the three prairie provinces (including other livestock shippers), co-operate i n withholding from market, sows, unfinished cattle and cows, and by spreading deliveries of bacon hogs and other classes of livestock as evenly as possible. Reason: peak in deliveries in next two months, con­ gestion in stock yards and packing plants. Sows, 10% of all western hog marketings, take more time to slaughter and process than regular I hogs. The machine rationing officials meeting in Regina, Sask., recently, were concerned about many farmers selling still usable tractors in the hopes of getting new ones. While quotas have been increased there is just enough to meet needs of essen­ tiality. The nearest rationing officer should be written to for a permit before any sale or deal or new pur­ chase is made. The sale of second­ hand machines at enhanced prices to secure permits for new equipment is considered an “unfair practice", 'the Board! bolds. ' Crops of main staples . in Canada are quite lower than 1942. ^Total wheat production estimated at 206,- 259,000 bushels, 50% lower than the 1942 yield, though larger than any crop harvested from 1933 to 1937, and produced on smallest acreage seeded to wheat since'1918. Feed grain lower, poorest in respect to oats in Ontario and Quebec. Hay and clover estimated 1,144,000 tons greater than 1942, thoughSn some districts affected by moisture. Potato crop estimated at 43,041,000 cwt, ravages in some district offset, by increased yield in New Brunswick. Sharp reduction in sugar beets. Due to fee shoratges in Canada and expected lower production in hogs for 1944, our new ham and bacon agreement with the U.K. pro­ vides for delivery of not legs than 900 million lbs. over a two-year per­ iod, fis compared to .current agree­ ment of 675 million lbs. in one year. The new price wi# be 122.50 a hun- dredweight, up 75‘cents. Odds and Ends of interest: Gross operating revenues of our Canadian railways increased to $69,727,022 in July, a new high monthly record . . . R.C.A.F. aircrew serving in other war zones will now be granted spec­ ial leave to Canada for completing tours of operations the same as if in the United Kingdom • . . The first “Canadian Bible” is.now rolling off presses in Toronto; since 1604 print­ ing rights have been strictly con­ tinued, only four other firms in the British Empire, having the authority to print Bibles . . . The National Film Board has a hundred ‘travelling theetrbsV-w^ich go from ' village io village and .factory r to factory at regular intervals. The rural audience for them is now 350,000 a month, in the factories a quarter of a mil­ lion . . . Since 1940 Canada has launched more than 200 steel cargo ships, aside from warships and other war craft. In a /ingle convoy these 200 ships could carry the following mixed cargo: enough food to feed the entire population of Britain for one week, enough lumber to build18,000 four-room cottages, 400bombers, and enough aluminium tobuild more than 12,500 fighterplanes, steel for 7 battleships,enough bombs to drop 10 pounds onevery German subject and motorizedequipment to supply 200 infantrybattalions.• • » Aircraft workers in Canada have saved the nation over $200,000 cash in direct production costs by suggest­ ions made since the first of the year and perhaps millions indirectly, ac­ cording to the Aircraft Industry Re­ lations Committee. One Canadian worker made a aimpie technical sug­ gestion which saves 5,625 man hours on every one hundred aircraft. The 1943 honey crop—one- of the best on record—gets a preliminary estimate of 32,520,000 lbs., exceed­ ing the previous year by 35 per cent. One-third of the total was produced in Ontario. The prairies produced 14 million lbs.; five million was ex­ tracted in Quebec; 1,300,000 in Brit­ ish Clumbia and the Maritimes were somewhat less than in 1942. . Restrictions on the sale of protect­ ive rubber garments have been re­ voked by the Prices Board and re­ claimed .rubber now can be used for these garments in place of crude rubber. This includes, of course, fire­ men’s coats, mining suits, sou'wes­ ters, fishing suits and acid resisting suits. Our Post Office has become big business—and how. A big increase is shown since the war started with gross revenues for 1942-43 being $59,175,137. Take airgraphs over­ seas, more than 76,000 of them are flown weekly from Canada; an or­ dinary mail bag holds 2,400 ordinary letters but 408,000 airgraphs which ordinarily would require 213 mail bags and occupy 639 cubic feet of cargo space. Just imagine, our P.O. department in 1942 sent 20,116,360 letters Overseas as against 5,618,640 in 1940., L C. I. NOTES The weekly religious period at the Collegiate, Thursday morning, took the form of an Armistice Day ser­ vice. The Scripture lesson, taken from the Psalms was read by Mer- vin Shoults. Wilson McBeath th^n explained how Remembrance Day originated, and the significance of the two minutes’ silence which is ob­ served each year. The immortal poem, “In Flanders Fields,” was given by Ruth Collins. The minister for the service. Dr. Turner, spoke a few words on Remembrance Day, after which Mr. Bole read the names of the seven ex-students who. have made the supreme sacrifice in this pre­ sent war, telling a little about each and their activities and interests at school. ThA schoot observed ' two minutes' silence. Dr. Turner then brought his message to the Students stressing that they should be ready for service when it was demanded of them. The service ended with the singing of “O God Our Help in Ages Past”. ‘ BANNER A very enjoyable pot luck supper sponsored by the Women's Aaoocia-tion was held in the Sunday School rooms on Friday evening.

This Branclj developed because you, the housewife, accepted the respon­ sibility of guarding the price ceil­ ing. The branch is an intermediary between women of Canada anji the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. This Board divided Canada into 13 regions and in each of these there is a Women’s Regional Advisory Committee, elected by women such as you and representing your or­ ganizations. Each committee organ­ izes its whole region. Sub-eommit- tees may be formed and local groups are urged to appoint liaison officers. There are now 13,000 representa­ tives across Canada, through which you, as a consumer, may be in con­ tact with the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The liaison officers gather criticisms, suggestions and complaints from their local groups and direct these through the wom- Keep Consumption Bacon, Ham, Pork Reasonable Limits Britain’s requirements of Cana­ dian bacon and hams and other pork products arc such that it is necess­ ary that Canadians continue to keep domestic consumption within reason­ able limits, if the minimum export quantities are to be assured, the Mcpt Board stated. Although the Meat Board has al­ ready announced the lifting of re­ strictions on slaughter and domestic distribution of hogs and pork pro­ ducts, any appreciable increase in domestic consumption can only mean that smaller quantities of ba­ con will be available for export to Britain. Consequently, retailers are asked to continue to co-operate with the Meat Board by refraining from featuring bacon, hams or fresh pork in advertisements and store displays. The Meat Board states that the total supply of meats in Canada is ample to provide the quantities re­ quired under the rationing system of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. Consumers are therefore able to satisfy their full' ration require­ ments without materially increasing their purchases of pork products. Joseph James Phillips Laid To Rest Thursday The funeral of the late Joseph James Phillips, was held on Thurs­ day afternoon from the Preston T. Walker Funeral Home, with service conducted at 2.30 o'clock by Rev. R. H. Parr. These were a large num­ ber of relatives and friends in attendance which with the beautiful floral tributes, testified to the esteem in which the late Mr. Phillips was held.

Now when most people have a higher income and would normally eat more meat, rationing permits from.l pound to 2% pounds per person a week. The Nutritional Advisory Committee to the Foods Administration says that 2 pounds per person along with the customary and available amounts of milk, cheese, eggs, fish and poultry provides more than sufficient pro­ tein from animal sources to meet the nutritional requirements of a person in any occupation. In rationing meat the amount of bone, the price range and the de­ mand were all considered. Meat is divided into 5 groups, A.B.C.D. de­ pending on the above-mentioned facta, and unrationed. Cuts with more than 50% bone are not ration­ en’s regional board offices for con­ sideration. They also must keep you informed about the meaning and need for price control, newest rulings and regulations and estab­ lish a local community tie-up be­ tween it and consumers branch. If you wish to report a change in prices, quality or quantity of ar­ ticles, the liaison officer is the per­ son you approach with your infor­ mation. If your women’s group or organization has not yet appointed a liaison officer—see that they do so at the next meeting. This is your chance to aid in the framing of wartime controls which affect your well-being. A little leaflet entitled Consumer News is published by the Consumers Branch and distributed to the liaison officers as an aid in their work of informing their women's groups. This pamphlet outlines the latest regulations und explains details of price control. Price control has brought the problems of good marketing and careful buying into your daily con­ versations. You should now be de­ manding more specific information as to the processing, grading and lab­ elling of the foods. With a limited food market you must know what is essential to health and the well being of your family in order to buy wisely. The consumer of the fu­ ture will be a more intelligent shop­ per and a better housewife. In reply to your constant ques­ tions the Consumer Branch has pub­ lished these answers. Question—Why do I have to pay different prices in different stores in the same community? Answer—The prices are based on services rendered and magnitude of operations; e.g. a small grocery store with a delivery of goods will have ■ to charge more for a 'product than a chain store of a large firm, ■on a cash-and-carry basis. Question—Why are many of the brand names disappearing from gro­ cers’ shelves? Answer—This disappearance of brand names is due largely to the exhaustion of the supply of canned goods. When the new pack reaches the shelves these goods will again be available. It is natural for the lower-priced lines to be sold out first; as a result the manufacturer may have only higher-priced articles ripe for beef, Iamb, veal, depen­ding upon their availability.5, You should be able to recognizeeasily the quality when you arepurchasing it.6. You should share rationed andunrationed meats voluntarily.7. The amount of meat provided by ed, e.g. oxtail, spare ribs, organ meats, liver, kidneys and some cook­ ed meats, along with poultry and fish are also unrationed. For de­ tails concerning nomenclature and coupon budgeting see the Meat Cou­ pon Value Chart. Restaurants have meatless days so that people who eat most of their meals out will share in the rationing. Two coupons a week can be used to purchase meat The amount of actual meat obtained fromlany group will vary little as the bone content is the determining factor in grouping meats. Meat coupons coming due on the loth of any month expire at the end of the same month. Those which come due after the 15th of the month do not expire until the end of the following month. Points you should remember in meat rationing are: 1. A ration coupon has definite value in terms of meat weight but does not guarantee any special kind or cut of meat. 2. You should be able to use and recognize less familiar cuts of meat. 3. Proper storage of meat. This will be found a necessity in small families who have to buy more than their daily supply at one time. 4. Versatile meat recipes. You should try to use the same re- A duel was lately fought in Texas by Alexander Shott and John S. Nott. Nott was shot and Shott was not. In this ease it is better to be Shott than Nott. There was a rum­ our that Nott was not shot, and Shott avows that he shot Nott, which proves either that the shot at Nott was not shot, or that Nott was shot notwithstanding. It may be made to appear on trial that that shot Shott .shot shot Nott, or, as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible that the shot Shott shot shot Shott himself, when the whole affair would resolve itself into its original elements, and Shott would be shot, and Nott would not. We think, however, that shot Shott shot shot not Shott but Nott. Any­ way, it is hard to tell who was shot. AUCTION SALE Sold the Farm. Clearin^AuctionSale of Farm Stock.
