An enthusiastic politician was aaked by his wife to lay aside politics long enough to dig up the potatoes in the garden. H« consented, and after digging for a few minutes went into the bouse and &aid he had found a coin. He washed it, and it proved fe* bt a quarter. He put it in his pocket and went back to work. Presently he went to the bouse •fain and said he had found an- other coin. He washed the dirt off It and this time it was a fifty-cent piece. He put it in his pocket. "I have worked pretty hard," Mid he to his wife. "I think I'll take a short nap." When he woke he was not sur- prised to find that his wife had dug up the reat of the potatoes â€" •nd that she had found no coins! "Then ah* iin'l exactly on* of th* ajrmpathetie »ort?" •aid Smith. "Sympathetic!" iBappeii Brown. "Why, that woman wasn't born, she wa« quarried!" Arriving at a stran(;:e hotel, a tuaay woman thought she'd better know where the fire-escape was. So she started exploring. During her tour, she opened a door and found herself in a bath- room occupied by an elderly gen- tleman. "Oh, I'm sorry," she twittered, "1 ' -fR looking for the fire-es- JMpe." ^ ^ntinuing her search, present^ ly she heard the pad of bare leut behind her and a shout made her turn. It was the elderly man, clad in a bath-towel. "Wait a minute!" he ga!>ped. "Where's the fire?" â€" â€" David loved bread and jel- ly. Hit motker uiually pur- chased sliced bread. One day she bought a loaf of unsliced bread. When he saw her ap- ply the butcher knife, he ask- ed: "What*, that bread all stuck together for?" â€" â€" The two friends were discussing jpotoring as they sat in the club. "I was once buying second-hand •ar from a grarage owner,'' said one. "Of cofirse,.he praised it up, •a I was a novice. But I found a way of discovering ab?olutely all its faultg." "How?" a-sked the olHer. "Why," went on the first, "i had », on trial, and took it to an- other car-dealer and aslted him to buy it." - o- Who remembers way back when A man in debt got out again? Feathered Hats Quite Popular Feathers, made into colored oak ' leaves and butterflies in natural colorings develop several small shapes, while a "half hat", to be posed over a veil-draped head, con- sists of 48 tiny colored birds. Burned goose, ostrich and coq are strongly endorsed. An ostrich model stemming from Victorian inspiration trails mora than a yard of tied willow oatrich down the back. Co<] feather hat and muff ensembles are observed, while coq and various other types of feathers, including quills, winga and birds accent many of the col- ored suede hats. What Science is ^ Doing ^ HEALING WOUNDS QUICKER It has been discovered during recent surgery that certain foods containing vitamins and proteins substitute for medicines and drugs. For several days before and af- ter operations, patients v^ere griv- en diets high in vitamins, proteins and vitamin concentrates. Abundant production of this "cement" apparently speeded healing of wounds, for in animal tests the walls of wounds lacking the vitamins were only one-third normal strength. â€" b â€" EYE REVEALS DEATH NEAR.. A new photo-electric eye which detects the approach of death in changing color of the skin is re- ported. The eye gives warning in time to administer lifesaving oxygen. The new eye looks virtually in- to the blood itself. This is done by placing a strong light behind the ear. Some of the rays pass through tissues and blood. The electric eye picks up these rays and detects changes in the blood color too slight for the human eye to see. â€" â€" PAIN OF ANGINA RELIEVED A new method of surgery ap- pearing to give the first "uni- formly complete relief" from an- gina pectoris, which causes pain in the region of the heart, is an- nounced in the journal of the American Medical Association. The operation requires an in- cision in the upper part of the back along the .spinal column and cutting the nerves which carry impulses resulting in the painful heart spasm. The President of France may not };o to the races unaccompan- ied; I.e must never appear in pub- lic in uniform or send telegrams containing political opinions. Kow Can I?

A Doctor Urges "Eat Fish Raw*' Well-Known Halifax Physician Declares We Lose the Real Good in Fish By Cooking It Nora Scotians, Canada's leading fishermen, were given some advice last week on how to eat the com- modity of which they are such pro- lific producers.
