England Forced to Take Canada.

England's acquisition of Canada
was largely due to the advice given
by Benjamin Franklin when England
was bartering with France to obtain
Guadeloupe. The French declined to
grant Guadeloupe and offered Canada
instead, and Great Britain gave in
upon the suggestion of Franklin An
other interesting international trade
was United States deal for Alaska

Reuse of Shells
In DeuiIed Grabs
Probed by Fo,Oler

Reports that crab shells are be-
ing used over and over again in
the making Of deviled crabs served
In number of local restaurants
caused DR.. William G. Fowler, Dis
trict health officer, to start an in
vestigation today.
1t is said that a number of res
taurant proprietors salvage shells
OF deviled crabs after the customers
have cleaned out the contents and
then refill them with a new batch
or 'devtlment." Some shells are
reported to have done double,
triple and quadruple duty in this
respect.
DIR. Fowler said that If his inves-
tigation disclosed that the shells
could be safely used by proper
sterilization he would offer no OBJ
lection to this practice.
