Good Fight While 1t Lasted

Jens Olson, of the Green Tree Inn at Dawson, feeling weary, retired to a room in his hostelry one afternoon recently for a snooze. When he opened his eyes after a dreamy slum- Der the first thing he saw was huge lynx in the room. Nothing daunted Jens seized blanket and went to the attack, and for few minutes the air was filled with mixup of lynx and Swede, but man and blanket were too much for the unsophisticated denizen of the wild and Jens emerged from the conflict, somewhat the worse for wear but with the lynx securely tied up in the blanket. Investigation re- vealed that the lynx came down the river on some driftwood, and swam ashore in front of the hotel, where he took refuge in the room occupied by Olson.-Ex.

REVIEW OF FOOD
 AFFAIRS IN LONDON

A Canadian writer, J. NJ. Twohy, in the Manitoba Free Press, writes ln- terestingly of food prices in London, and compares them with those ot New York and Winnipeg:
 London, Sept. 20.-That England is heavily oppressed by the increased cost of living is proved by the drastic measures Food Controller Lord Rhonda announced in the House of Lords ia re- sponse to the public demand for protec- tion against ruthless spoilation at the hands of spectators and profteers.
 The U-boats have restricted the i'm port of foodstuffs, and the British prof. iteer-the worst offenders being the small tradesmen in the midi'e class districts-has traded upon that restrlc- tion to extort usurious profits from defenselss people.
 Within week of the declaration of war the price of bacon was put up In most districts from 23 cents to $ cents per pound, although the importation of bacon was not really affected for over l5 months. Other necessary com modities were priced up in proportion until the government took powers to fix the prices of them.
 This scheme, however. fell to the ground because of the difficulty of ad- ninistering it, and with free hand the shopkeeper raised the prices all round in such outrageous diSproportlon to the supply that Lord Rhon~da-ln whom unlimited powers are vested by parliament - has been obliged to threaten Imprisonment, without the option of fine, to those who are guilty of speculating or of trading in excess of the prices his department proposes to fix.
 The ordinary housewife, with a linn tied income. who in peace time was able to make ends meet and save some thing for 8 rainy day, now is con- fronted with an average all round in. crease of from D to 100 per cent. for vegetables and eatables.
 In the case of wearables the increase is more justitiable, because the gestrlc- tion in the imports of wool and cotton have been considerable and because England previously imported D large proportion of these goods from coun tries with which we are now at war.
 The retail price of bread in London today is 24 cents per four-pound loaf. In large wheat-growing districts it is 2lc, but the average price is 23c per four pound loaf. lord Rhondda pro- poses to fix it at 1Sc by supplying the wheat to the millers at SIS per quar- ter, subsidizing of the loaf, which it is estimated will cost the country Sl00.- 900, 900 per annum. The master bakers, not satisfied with 23c loaf, were ar ranging to increase it by 2c-a scheme now knocked on the head.
 Government regulation flourthat is flour with the admixture of other cere- als-is 47c per seven pounds while the finest flour is soc per seven pounds. Lord Rhondda now proposes to reduce the retail price in proportion to the re- duced price of bread. Whole wheat flour is 58c per seven pounds, and whole wheat meal soc per seven pounds.
 New laid eggs are 7c each; good breakfast eggs 6c each, and cooking eggs 5c each.

Gold HypOdermic Needles Cheaper
Although hypodermic needles made
of platinum or platinum-iridum will
not retain their sharp points very
long, owing to the non-rigidity of the
metal, they have long been considered
the best and most satisfactory obtain
able because of their non-corrosive
>properties. The price of platinum is
very high, however, so cheaper
metal has been sought. Silver, nickel,
etc, have been tried but needles made
of such materials soon lose their
sharp points and are more or less sub
ject to corrosion. Ordinarily gold
would not be considered a cheap sub
sttute for anything but it has been
adopted as substitute for platinum
in hypodermic needles because il is
cheaper than that metal and at the
same time can be tempered by new
process so that needles made from it
hold their points satisfactorily.
Tests of the new gold needles have
shown them to possess practically the
same rigidity as steel without the
danger of breaking which is a COM
mon drawback of highly tempered
steel needles. The needles are claim
ed to be entirely proof against rust or
corrosion Of any kind and can be ster-
ilied by any ordinary method without
injury. Some of them after having
been used in from 5000 to 1000 in
jections remained in perfect condition.

Everyone knows that rubber ar
ticles deteriorate about as rapidly
from lying about unusued and uncared
for as from actual use, due chiefly 30
oxidation. Keeping fire hose in good
order and preserving it properly is a
matter of great Importance and one
that causes fire companies consider
able work for, besides the expense Of
replacing it frequently, there is dan
ger that after long period Of disuse
it will give away at some critical
moment and so cripple the freight
ing organization seriously.
An ingenious method that has been
devised to keep this hose in good con-
dition consists in coiling it on drum
filled with compressed air. The hose
is connected with the drum by means
of valves. After use, enough air is
turned into the hose to initiate it and
keep it we'll rounded out throughout
its length. BY keeping it expanded
in this way there is no cracking of
the rubber which so often occurs. when
the hose is allowed to lie in fiatten'
condition.
