England. A former vicar of Newlyn East decided to prune the tree. He died the same year. Recently a man on holiday from Australia heard the legend of the fig tree declared he was unafraid, and picked some leaves. He had packed his bags and booked his passage back to Australia when he was suddently taken ill and died. Legend has it that St. Netwlyn decided to build a church on this spot, struck her staff in the ground to mark the place and protected it with a. curse. The staff took root and became the tree that still grows out of the church wall. The present vicar, the Rev. An- thony clinnlck, said: “It is un- doubtedly Just a coincidence; but to be on the safe side, I am going to leave the tree alone." How Can I 7 ? (By ANNE ASHLEY) NM\%& Q.

I love to knead my bread, for its soft springy elu- ricity makes baking a. joy." Ten years 330 friends advised Mrs. McKay to try Robin Hood Flour, and she is glad she did :0. Here are some of her reasons: “For one thing I do not have to keep more than one kind of flour in the pantry,” said Mrs. McKay. “Robin Hood is an all-purpose ilour—as good for cakes and pastry as it is for bread and buns.
