POSTAGE STAMP_HONOUR..

FOR DUTCHMAN.

A man must be very famous for a letter merely addresscu" To the illustrious Boerhaave, physician in Europe," to reach its destination ospecially two hundred years ago, Yet this is what happened when a Chinese mandarin, wanted to get into touch with one of Holland's most famous scholars, Hermann

Boorhaave.

The portrait of this great man is the fitting subject of one of four children's charity stamps issued by

Holland in 1998.

Two hundred years ago Leyden University, as a seat of learning, was almost better known than ard

our own Oxford and Cambridge to-day. Leyden was particularly noted for its medical courtce, and this well-deserved fame was due greatly to the tireless efforts of Her-

nans Boerhaave.

Besides being a leading anvant of his age, Boerhaave was a most human schoolmaster, and his wise and kindly rectorship of Loyden University was known in the royal households throughout the length and breadth of the Europe of his day Peter the Great of Russin tock especial pains to have lessons from him,

As his own postage stamp pro claims, Boerhaave lived from 1668 until 1738.

Portuguese Colonial Stamps, The present postage stamps' of the Portuguess Colonies are short- ly to be replaced by new issues in improved designs. An improved version of the now familiar 41 Reaper " type will be shared by the colonies of Capo Verde, Portu guero Guinea, St. Thomas, and Prince Islands and Angola. Do. signs of a more distinctive character have been provided for the stampa of the East African colonies, Portu guose India, Macao, and Timor. Nineteen denominations comprise the series in each; instance, ranging from 1 centavo to 20 escudos, ex cept as regards the colony of Angola, whose higher values are oxpressed for the first time in terms of a new currency unit-namely, the angolar," The denominations of the Portuguese Indian series are indicated, as at present, in rois, tangas, and rupien, and those of Macdo and Timor in the local

avos and patachas. It is not yet known how soon the new stamps will actually be ready for issue.

London, Sept. 16. The Daily Express says that the enormous accumulation of Russian wheat in England can only maka the coon- one situation of the United King dom; more critical,' '--

The British Post Office has made it clear that no special stampe will be issued for air mail in Grent Britain. The offeint view, is that

More than 40,000 tons of Russian the public would be less likely to whicat have bean shipped from use the air mail services if they Black Sea ports to England, and had to have special stamps on hand although a serious shortage of as well as the ordinary postage food prevails in Russia, Soviet stamps.

lations with the rest of the world, Russia can apparently afford to lose money in selling Soviet pro- ducts under cost price. but in fact, there is no cost price for the Soviet, as the monetary system inside the country is completely artificial.

There are seventeen denominations from 1 to 15 chabi, 1 to 5 krans and 1 to 3 tomans.

Boosting Coffee! An-aeroplano over mountains is depicted on a new 6 centavos rose air starp from Guatemala, which serves also to proclaim in English that " Guatemala produces the best coffee in the world."yo

Costa Rica has issued 12,000 sets of overprinted stamps for air mail of the values 8, 20, 40 centimos and i colio, and Ecuador has celebrated the Bogota Quito flight by Capt. Mendez on June 4 this year by three overprintond stamps of 1, 6 and 10 sucres..

Kelvinator's dry, frosty cold ac tually improves foods

When you use Kelvinator Elec tric Refrigeration, you use a metal freezing unit to cool your réfrig erator. This freezing unit stays so cold it becomes thickly coated with frost, and the air in the re figerator becomes dry and frosty. This is true refrigeration. It ac tually improves foods. The good things you keep in your refrigera tor are better than ever when you take them out.

Kelvinator requires no attention -you simply forget it. It regulates itself and your refrigerator stays cold day after day whether you. are at home or visiting. It can be installed in your own refrigerator. Phone or call and learn how.
