Widower Belter OllloWed lhe Older Girt By BEATRICE FAIRFAX ' Dear Mlu Fairfax—My wife died ilx monthi ago, leaving me with an Infant baby and two children ol six and nine. My mother-in-law hu been looking atter them but I don't feel like Imposing on her any longer because she's not so young. My friendi tell me I ought to many again, and I have two very nice ladiei In mind. One Is an older litter of my wife, who Hvei In an othtr dty and It employed ln an office. The other girl it 19 who lives ln the same apartment, and helps my mother-in-law look after thingi. However, my lister says lt would be dligraceful tor m* to marry before the year la out. What do you think about it, and which ot theie two ladles would make the beit choice? I'm 34 years old and I want my children ln good handi. Waiting for the year to be up, ai a gesture of respect, hei alwayi leemed hypocritical to me, when there lt any definite reason tor people to marry sooner. It's almoit too much to expect ot human nature that you will be kuld- ed by any luggeitlon I offer. But it seems to me that the older lady would make a better stepmother tor your ohlldren. She is your wife's sister and would naturally be fond of the children from the start, A 19 year old girl acting u a itepmothet to three'children would terribly risk her happiness, not to mention your own. Give this younger girl a chance with someone nearer her age. 1536 Births in Oct.

Fulling consists ln waking tha cloth ln water and then pounding fuller's earth Into lt and treading, beating and pounding gn lt io u to shrink and give it a cloier and more even weave. Then the fuller'i earth wai washed out, and becauie ot ltt property of absorption it took with lt when lt wu removed the grease and dirt and lett the doth soft and clean. Absorption la tbe name physical chemists give to the proceu whereby a substance becomes part of another substance and remains ln a state midway between mechanical mixture and chemical com- binatlon. . The mediaeval weaver knew all this empirically without using the word absorption or making any experiments to find out why fuller's earth wat to valuable to him. Nor did anyone ln those long ages think that fuller's earth could be uied for other purpoiei—ln treating any ot the llli ot mankind. In the 16th century, Chineie por celaln was Introduced into Europe and ltt delicacy and lightness wu greatly admired. The artisans ot the Western world tried long to find out what material was used to fashion these beautiful objects. DISCOVERED BY PHARMACI8T8 In the early 18th century a pharmacist—not a pharmacist—Boettger, found that It wu an earth called kaolin by the Chineie. And thl) closely guarded secret Ingredient ot porcelain was practically tha ume u the humble fuller's earth the weavers had been using for centuries. Almoit at the ume time ltwai found that the Chineie uied Kaolin as a remedy for cholera, dyient- ery and stomach complaint. Finally In 1910 it received the dignity of scientific recognition when McRobert uied it ln the epidemic ot Asiatic cholera In the Balkans.

DJerba, otf Tunisia, Is the largest Island on the Mediterranean Bar- bary Cout A MESSAGE * tothe MOTHERSOF CANADA TJOR many yean, It hu been the privilege of the Houte of Heinx to supply you, the mothers of Canada, with Strained Fooda specially prepared for uie in your babies' diet. And becauie you mothers have learned to depend «o implicitly on Heini; Strained Fooda to furnish the nourishment your babiea need; because you have realised that Heinx Strained Foods are prepared with all the homelike care and patience that mothers alone can appreciate, the demand for them increased greatly year by year to a point where it challenged our capacity to produce them. That you have tuch complete confidence in the absolute purity, the high quality, and the nutritional value of Heinx Strained Foods make* ua proud indeed, and we regard your faith in ua and our products as a trutt which mutt never be betrayed. That it why we feel that an explanation ii due to you of our inability to meet your increasing demand for Heinx Strained Foodi. Became of the urgent meed for tin in war industries, and for other economic Ytasons, the Government of Canada hat limited the production of canned foods, and, as a consequence, we have, haa to restrict, both irTwlume and variety, the production of Heint Strained Foods, We have even had to make minor changes in recipet to conform with government regulation!. This ia the reason why you may not always tee your favourite variety of Heinx Strained Foods upon your grocer's shelves. Indeed, it may happen, at timet, that your grocer may be completely out of itock for a day or two. It it a condition we pro foundly regret, and we can only ask you, in thete circumstances, to be patient. We are doing our belt to distribute our reduced production of Heinx Strained Foods to the trade at equitably at pouible, and your grocer will get hit fair share of regularly replenished atock. One thing we would ask of you, however. In fairness to other mothert and to other babies, do not aalt your grocer, at any onetime, for more than a day or two's supply of Hems -trained Foodi, ewii if he happens to have a stoc\on hand. We are eure you will agree that, in war-time, the purchasing of supplies in excess of current needs it unpatriotic, and constitutes a brake on the war effort of the nation. It may be necessary, perhaps, to shop around at timet to secure the varieties of Heinx Strained Foods your baby likea best, but it will be worth the effort, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that in doing your beit for your baby, you are serving your country at well. On our part, we are continuing—and shall continue —to manufacture Hgjjjjj Strained Poods to the extent of our permitted production. And we pledge our« selves that all Strained Foods bearing our name will be made in the aame immaculate kitchens,, in the same careful and painstaking way, of the tame high-quality ingredients, and with the aame devotion to the welfare of Canada's babies that haa marked the production of Heinx Strained Foods in the pait. The name HEINZ on the familiar keyatone label will always be a symbol and a guarantee of supreme ■quality. H. J. HEINZ COMPANY OF CANADA LTD. —■ '********$*****' NELSON SOCIAL By MAS. M. J.

THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS. THURSDAY, DEC. 10,1942. ■ All the World Will. Make Sure of Peace Prime Minister Mackenzie King ex- Lpresaed at least one new thought in his tddress to the Pilgrims of America in 4.ew York. He said that the extension of the war to all parts of the world might prove a blessing in disguise. Viewed from the standpoint of hopes for post-war reconstruction, there is foundation for such a statement. One Of the reasons, though not the chief one, for failure to build an enduring structure after the last war, was that that conflicj, had not touched the '■' whole world. Actually, its physical et fects were felt in only a comparatively small portion of the gjobe. It was, therefore, impossible to impress on the peoples of countries that were not directly involved the need for a new order. They lacked the incentive which is furnished by destruction and death. .There Is no nation which, after this itruggle, will not realize that the international system under which the Wld has been operating is wrong. There are few which will not have felt ihe curse of war in their national life. There are few which will not be seeking some means of assuring lasting ^eace, having learned by bitter experience how horrible a thing is armed conflict. There will be less of a desire to seize the spoils, a greater conception of the urgency for cooperative action to make future war impossible. " It is deplorable, as Mr. King said, that so many people should be exposed to suffering and sadness. But if it leads to a universal demand for permanent peace, even this sacrifice will not have , been in vain. .. : Of Manners and Customs By Richard J. Nsedhsm In Calgiry Herald A lady qf charm and discernment wai complaining to ui the other day about the hellish practical ot tha mysterious English. She pointed out to us, ss one example, that the English drive on the wrong aide of the road. In Can* ada, aha observed, tha right lids Is the right ■lde, and th* lett side, ls the wrong side, and a woman knowi where ihe ii at. But ln England, It's iust the oppoilte: the right ilde ls the wrong tide, and the left side ls tht right lide, and what can you do with people like that? ' Thli lady, we think, has railed an Interesting point, the point li limply thii: that International heckling and suspicion are liable to be based on,sn.all differences rather than large: on trivial matteri of manner and cuitom rather than broad matteri of policy. We eometlmei hear American! complaining about Britiih imperiallim, but we do not think the average American is halt as much annoyed by Brltiih imperiallim as he ia by the Britlih accent or the British cuitom of giving titles. Canadlani who have travelled In Englah^ have little comment to make on that country'i educational or economic inequitlei; what they really beef about li the horrible food ierved up at the hotels, or the poisonous taste of an outlandish liquid which English restaurants laughingly describe as coffee. The same'thlng works in reverie. An English relative ot pun bases her dislike of the Americans largely on the fact that they eat corn (which ln England ll fed only to poultry), and we do not doubht tor a moment that the Bronx accent arouiei the tame distress among the English ai the Oxford accent arouses ln the denizens of the Bronx. The greet difficulty between the English and the Americans, we often think, isn't that one nation has a large empire and the other Just a tiny wee one. It's that one nation runi auto- mobiles on gas and the other rum them on petrol; it'l that one eats hamburgers and the other eats suet pudding: it's that one drinks beer cold and other drinki beer warm. Something ought to be done about all this, but vie don't know exactly what. We ar* inclined to think that the best bet li for the English and the Americans to form a Joint civilization, become one flesh, u they lay ln the marriage service. That way, each could borrow useful features from the other. For example, the English might agree to use dollars and cents Instead of their present fantastic currency system, and maybe theAmerlcani would agree to establish a university system completely free from control by moronic politician! and reactionary businessmen. As for the traffic business which we mentioned it the beginning of this piece, that could be letled quite easily. The English would ihow their customary genius for compromise, and adaptation, and in no time at all, the American drivers would be bowling along quite happily on the left-hand tide of the road. Press Commetit CANADIAN PEAT FOR FUEL For many deca'dei th* ponlblllty ot developing on a commercial Mai* th* larga peat re- lourcei oi the Dominion hu received intermittent attention.

Hon. Oliver Lyttelton, 1943 is going to be a bad year for the Axis. There is a sinister note in his statement that, during the coming year Canada, the United States and Britain will reach a production quota such as to bring the "maximum impact" to bear on the enemy. Only now are we gaining a clear conception of the full capabilities of these United Nations to produce, and it gives an indication of what will happen when they reach their peak. Some may jump to the conclusion that Mr. Lyttelton is predicting the end of the war in 1943, but he is careful to point out that he is not doing so. In fact, he says that the whole grand plan of production strategy is predicated on the theory that the conflict will noUnd that soon. He does imply, however, that 1943 will be the year in which the enemy wil! be softened uj for the final blow. There is an assurance in his statement that is heartening. It breathes confidence which is obviously not founded on unreasoning optimism. The integrated production plan of which he speaks is not based on enthusiasm, but on hard, cold figures, carefully weighed a-nd considered in the light of known facts about manufacturing capacity. Iso, it has been worked out in conjunction with the United Nations' "chiefs of staff, which makes it clear fyhat the directors of production know .-.just what is required by the forces in «»ibe field, and know that they can supply it.

THAT DEVASTATING DISEASE Lord Horder, in leeklng aid for the British Empife Cancer Campaign, has raised some high hopea He believes icience Is winning the , fight againit thli dread disease, and lays: "We are now so close to the secret of cancer that we can at last hope to hand down to our children the knowledge by which the world may be purged of one of Its greatest horrors—the horror of death from a painful and lingering affliction. ... Let us look straight and clear at this devastating disease—cancer. Let us tread upon fear and realize that we can conquer it." The latter are brave words, but the pith of the matter ls that medical science, and such in authority is Lord Horder must be believed, Is on the even of some discovery that will prove the most Important In the realm of disease ln many decades.

SIMPSON ^noclited Pren War Analyst The fighting In North Africa has fallen Into a comparative lull but tha Allies ara obviously preparing to launch a naw storm of attack from Eait to Weit All reporti from French Africa agree that, although the Axis forces have enjoyed temporary air lup- erlorlty ind the advantage of Interior communication lines, Britiih- Amerlcan Una on the hillcreiti commanding the critical triangle In Northern Tunisia have held or been re- itored. Dispatches tell of the arrival of heavy gum on that front and growing allied itrength. Prodigious labor behind the fighting front In getting big gun! forward and developing adequate advance air bases la Indicated. There hu been and is, no lull thert as Elsenhower makes ready for the next phase of tbe battle for Blzerte and Tunis. It cannot be doubted that his British colleague, In Libya, preparing to drive home the Eastern Jaw of the vast trap against what remains of Rommel's boasted Africa Corpi, li even further advanced toward tht moment when he can strike again Even Axia reporti credited Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery with having brought up days igo powerful fresh forces ahd Ihe heavy trmor for the attack. Massed gum are essential to Montgomery's coming effort td blast t Rommel out of his narrow front de-1 fences ln depth Eait of El Aghella. Available maps of the terrain offer small prospect of a successful British turning movement to avoid the coetly head-on attack. That the Nail commander has been busy improving, with mines and tank traps, his holding front East of El Aghella Is certain. British torcei face a more formidable obstacle there than their Anglo-American comrades ln Northern Tunisia where Axli defencei In the crudil triangle obviously were quickly extern poriied. If Rommel'i remnants are forced out ot El Aghella, the next water supply for them would be at Misurata, 300 miles or so Eastward almost lo Tripoli Itself. That coastal span is utterly arid country. Every foot Westward Rommel goes brings even his front linei facing East that much closer to Elsenhower's bombers in Tunisia. It aeems obvious that some concerted plan of action covers the timing and Immediate objectives of the two-allied thruiti ln Africa. They are now cloie enough for tha one to hive itrong effects on the Other In a tactical u well ai strategical sense ilthough still 700 air miles apart It Elsenhower's forcei could break through to the coutal plain of Tunisia South of the Gulf of Tunis to where good alrflelas are available, hli planei would be thit much closer to batter at Rommel'i communications.
