New Butter Wrap Keeps Product In Better Condition

The Bacteriology and Dairy n9. search Division. Science Service. of the Dominion Department of Agriculture has conducted ex- haustive tests with Aluminum Foil butter wraps. The results of these tests indicate that butter reaches Canadian tables in better condit- ion when wrapped in Aluminum Foil.

Color is better. Moisture loss is reduced. Foreign ﬂavors are not absorbed. The ﬂavor score is higher.

After months of study and rc- search Central Creameries Ltd., one of the oldest established but- ter producers in Canada, has adopted this revolutionary wrap. This decision to adopt Aluminum Foil will not only bring better butter to Island homemakers but will allow Prince Edward Island

butter to travel with that fresh churned ﬂavor to distant mar- kets.

VITAMIN C PREVENTS HEAT EXHAUSTION

During hot weather, it ls now the custom in many factories to have tablets containing about a quarter teaspoonful of table salt beside the water tap or cooler, and workers are advised to take a tablet every time they take a drink of water. It is loss of salt from the tissues that causes heat cramps and heat prostration o: exhaustion.

Notwithstanding the fact that salt tablets have for years been used to prevent heat prostration in very hot climates, there arc still some prostrations among workers under heat exposure. Ac- cordingly Dr. W. L. Weaver, Rich- mond Virginia. reports in "South- ern Medical Journal," the great success of vitamin C in prevent- ing heat prostration in a cellu- lose factory. It became necessary ‘to repair the ventilating system :ln one large room with e tem- jierature from 95 to 100 F., with 50 per cent humidity while 42 workers were employed. Mainten- ance workers were brought in to repair the pipes and ducts locat- ed near the ceiling. The mainten- nncs group was given 100 mg. vi- tamin C daily and the regular workers, serving as controls, re- ceived no vitamin C. However both the maintenance workers and the employees were given 7 grains of table salt and 3 grains E dextrose (sugart hourly.

During the 29 days it took to finish repairs, not one of the 3i. men receiving ascorbic acid (vi- tamin C) showed symptoms of heat illness. in the control group of 42 workers who received salt only 9 cases of heat exhaustion developed. None of the casesuvas severe and only n few included muscle cramps.

Ellen ’s Diary By an Island Fan-min Wife Pfdﬁt.

"What to your mind hna been the beet happening of today?" we in- quired of Jamie, when prayers past this evening, he was lnug in bed. He stopped a moment to consider the query then repeated our words slowly: "What as the best hap- pening of today? ell perhaps you mlghtn't think it-——but for me lt was the coming of Tippy‘: pups. You see," he continued, "I'm pretty well used to calves and lambs and kittens by now, but I've never seen new pups before today. Just think of lt—-seven of them! It's wonder- ful, don't you think so?" “Wonder- full" we agreed, "in fact it's no- thing short of remarkable." And when he had "cuddled doon" in his pillow, and his voice was sleep- laden it was to talk of them still. to wonder if a person were allowed the pick of them, which would it be -—the one that was black as night? or a mate, with a fetching white vest? Or would one of those spot- ted ones turn out to be the prettiest and best of them‘ all?

o

It was n perplexing question to ponder over, especially to a lad like Jamie, whose favored friend since his toddling days has been the Mutt-dog. "That hound of yours is fairly useless," we overheard James remark to his namesake after Pard has done a brilliant piece of work in rounding up the cows. "Why. he won't look at a cow!" And Jamie's comment was, “No, he's not much of a cattle dog, but ‘he's good to do other things." Certainly any can- ine that has been one's playmate since infancy, whose name was the first one on one’: lips, next to one s parents and who needed no teach- ing to be in the lane to greet one joyously when returning from clagges is "good to. do‘ other things!

Education Good Preparation For Successful Marriage

DEAR MISS DIX: I em a girl 19 yearn old. Have finished hlgb school and want to go to college and after that to build up a business career. But my family object very much. They wish me to get mar- rled and have even picked out my husband, but I don't want to get married yet. I haven't seen enough of life. Also, I want to earn my

, own living for a while at least. Would you advise me to follow my own desires, or take the advice of my family?

UNDECIDED

ANSWER: If you marry a man you don't love just to please your family and because they have the old- fashioned idea that marriage is the only career a girl

should follow, you will be a miserable, discontented wo- man as long as you live.

Because you will have been kept from doing the thing you wanted to do and your heart will be always full of frustrated desires. You will always be dwelling on the thought of what you might have don , and what might have been, and the happiness you might have has, and that will make even the good that you have turn to dust and ashes in your teeth.

Marriage is hard on a woman and full of sacrifices that she must make, even when she marries a man she loves and when it ls the thing on earth she most desires, but it is almost unendurable when she mar- ries a man she does not care for and when she goes into it against her will. The parents who think that they can find security for their daughter in a forced marriage have not reckoned with‘ the modern wo- man. Nine times out of ten she endures its misery and discontent for a. few years and then gets a. divorce.

Whether your parents send you to college or not, they. at least, owe it to you to give you o. training for some occupation by which you will be made self-sustaining. That ls your due whether they marry you off or not. For marriage does not solve the problem of a girl's future. Sometimes husbands die. Sometimes they become lnvalida. Sometimes they lose their jobs. And often a woman after marriage has far more need of some way of maklngmoney than she had before.

Also. there is no better preparation for marriage than for a girl to have a thorough business training. It disciplines her. It teaches hei- self-control, promptness, efficiency and the value of a dollar, all of which fit her to be a better wife, housekeeper and mother.

DOROTHY DIX

DEAR MISS DIX: How can I cure myself of being suspicious of my wife? The reason I feel this way is because one night she and a woman friend, under the pretense of going to a show, motored with two young men to a hotel out of the city for a glass of beer. I found out through the lle she told me when she came back, and since then l always think the worst of everything she does. The worry over this ls not increasing my earning capacity as a father and sometime: I feel like sending the whole affair to the devil and buylﬂﬂ "W891! l ﬁne-Way ticket to Mexico. FRANK

ANSWER: When once our faith has been shaken in a person it is very hard to restore it, and the best ‘you can do for yourself is to keep your thoughts firmly fixed upon your wife's good qualities. and 88y. like Dr. Coue, that every day in every way you believe her truer and truer.

But it doesn't seem to me that motoring with three friends to an- other town for a glass of beer was such a helnou! offense. Probably ninety-nine married women out of a hundred have gone on an innocent little lark like that, for women are human after all and like a little harmless fling every now and then, and there ls nothing for their hus- band; to get green-eyed over about it. The little slipping of the yoke made them better and more contented wives.

When husbands and wives have to lle to each other and sneak off for an evening out, the blame should be laid on the wlfe or husband whose tyranny has enslaved 'them and debflved the"! °f ‘u freedmn" If you had not denied your wife all liberty and most PIBBWFBS. Sh! W°“1d have been glad to have told you frankly about what she did. d m l

I think you are making a mountain out of a molehlll an e W s3 {hing for you to do ls to forget it. I wonder if you have never steppe

Hobbies 0i, Local Citizens .

By Uncle for

White wings unfurled in the breeze-soft winds, blue skies and dancing waves that keep perfect time with the speed of a sailboat. What could be e prettier eight! Whether you are out to capture e trophy or merely for the love of it. you can get a great thrill out of a sailing boat.

Sailing ls again coming back into its own, and this summer there will be many thousands of boys and

girls saillng—and racing-their own

boats in Canada and the U. S. A.

Sailing has been called the fast- est sport ln the New World since the closing of World War II. Lloyd's Register of American Yachts lists about 750 clubs in Canada and the United States with over ltnﬁ

boats ready to shake out their main-

salls. To these figures might be added scores of others that are privately owned and not listed at all.

I There are few hobbies thatvoffer such a thrill as boat sailing. If you don't think so, ask any youni.‘ sailor, or any old one for that mat- ter, and they'll tell you that it's tops in sport. O I

If you are fortunate enough 1° possess a cat-rigged dinghy the whole family can enjoy the outing- There are many types of boats. however. When it comes time to chcnse, most young sailors prefer Snipes, Llghtnlngs, Woodpussies or Comets, as none of these is too hard to learn to sail.

Once upon a time. the rivers and harbors of our Island boasted many sailing shins, and a prettier sight would be hard to see. their white sails glistening beneath the rays of the sun.

So many of our local citizens find recreation in this sport that I am not going to single out any one individual but will treat this class of hobbyists as a unit. When I queried one hobbylﬁf 1'9- cently about this sport and the best types of boats to use, he quick- ly retorted, "There are no best boats, but there are plenty 0f good boats. But--and there is a 'bui'—you should know the WP" best suited to vour requirements and the ones that are. nolllll" l" vnur sailing community. Then you'll have a craft that is suitable 1'01‘ local conditions. You will also be assured of plenty of competition. should you decide to take up rnc~ ing." ' -

I O O

Another hobbyist I talked with had this to say:

"Learning to sail is casyi Wt "'5 a game in which you never atop learning. I've known beginners who became nulie proficient after a few weeks of practice —- that ls. within reasonable limitations-Juli most of us old-timers know we haven't yet reached the end of sall- inv knowledge."

Perhaps that accounts for the fas- cination of the sport and helps mnke it so popular with old and young. "

"What about safeiv measures?" Y nuestioned my last informant. “What if a boat should capsize and throw its occupant into the water?" “I'm glad you asked that ques- tion." he said. "for it's a very im- nortant one. A non-sinknhle boat is best for beginners, as this type of boat will stay afloat after being capsized. The beginner ls hound to get a few ducklngs, but he will be able to hang onto the boat until somebody comes to his rescue. "Sailing a boat is much like learn- ing to ride a bicycle. You get a few tumbles but soon ncnulre an in- stinctive balance which makes rid- ing easy and loads of fun."

Save old newspapers to make “logs" to burn ln your fireplace on chilly summer evenings. Twist the paper into firm compact pieces and stow away in empty boxes. then use them as needed to cheer the living room. They give a good blaze and a surprising amount of heat.

When frosting little cakes, spear them with an ordinary kitchen fork. You can turn them quickly and twist them around as you frost the top and sides. N0 sticky fin- gers or broken cakes.
