these triangles white men may travel
in comparative safety without being
compelled to disguise their origin. All
the chiefs are servants of the sultan.
and are held accountable for outrages
committed upon the whites. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the sultan of
Morocco encourages Outrages upon
white visitors to his country. They
are comparatively safe in all the re-
gions where his rover is supreme; this
is not to say that the Arabs have q
very friendly feeling for whites, but as
a rule they dare not attack them. 3
Pierre Lott, in his vivid picture of
Morocco as he saw it twelve years ago,
tells of woman beggar who, while &C
cepting the aims given to her by mem
bers of the French embassy with APP
parent gratitude, was at the same time
repeating over and over again the
words: Curses upon you and your re-
ligion.' thinking that none of them
knew the meaning of what she said.
But in the vast territories inhabited by
Berbers not even the sultan nor his Of
hcials dare venture unless accompan-
led by regiments of troops. No white
man would think of penetrating these
regions openly. No drawer explorers
LEM. who, with only a handful of men
in their parties, passed through the
thick of the Berbers. traversing the
country in all directions. These ex-
plorsrs were SO well disguised that
they were never suspected OF being
white men. If their identity had been
known they would have paid for
their temerity with their lives. If we
examine a map showing the routes of
explorers in Morocco we will see that
they are very numerous in the tri-
angles occupied by the Berbers. Thus
it is the hostility evinced. not only
against white men, but also against
the sultan himself that has kept five
sixth of Morocco from being well
known, and has limited satisfactory
explorations to the small triangles oc-
cupied by the Arabs.

Collecting Indian Coins.

The East Indian famines have af-
forded coin collectors many opportuni-
ties to acquire rare and old coins which
have lain buried for a great number of
years The native has always shown
very grave suspicion of banks and
has usually preferred to bury coins in
what was considered a safe spot. Those
hiding places are revealed by father to
son and their accumulations some
times go on for generations. In
dire extremity the hoard has to be
trespassed on; coins which have long
since become exceedingly rare are thus
brought to light and are eagerly snap
ped up by collectors. Many of them
are being sold in London at the pres
ent time.

what to do. Wash him with tar soap
or with dog soap and comb them out
with fine comb"
Gordon purchased three combs be-
fore he found one that would not
break He bought three different
kinds of soap, and returning to John
Alden he combed, he bathed, he rubbed
and then combed again. At the end
of the tussle John Alden lay snugly
sleeping under a warm drapery high
on a bookcase and Gordon dressed his
own torn and bleeding hands and cap
tared two live f1eas on his coatsleeve.
He has since come to believe that those
insects flourish on strong soapsuds, for
after this performance John Alden did
little but scratch and dig at his poor
tormented skin. He lost his appetite
and grew thin. Miss Graham advised
more combing and warm catnip tea
Gordon bought catnip at the druggists.
He bought also a walnut wash recon-
mended by the chemist and bottle of
cat tonic Still the f1eas increased and
John Alden diminished.
Gordon wrote to his aunt. Take
him to a veterinary surgeon" advised
she, for the fieas will kill the cat If
not seen to at once.
What pity" said Miss Graham,
when she heard this. Now, 1 think
that entirely unnecessary. t'oor Pussy
would die there. If you will trust him
to me 1 will take him home and my
mother will doctor him up for you. We
i've out of town in the summer, you
know and there is lots of delicious
grass for him to roam over and no cats
in the neighborhood. We will watch
him closely and he won't run away.
Besides, there are oceans of fresh cat
nip growing about the place, and home
dried catnip is different from that COM
pressed stuff you bought Then, too
you-you might come often, you know,
to-to-see how he was getting on
John Alden went to the country. A
month later a letter went to the aunt.
You will be glad" wrote Gordon,
ito hear that John Alden is entirely
rid of fieas, eats like a bear, and is
more beautiful than ever. You will be
surprised to hear that L have found
that a cat does not add the finishing
grace to a studio. There is something
else. That to which 1 refer is a wife

Drift Five Miles to the South Last

Young and old alike are highly inter-
ested in the big balloons being sent w
by the carnival company, if the crowds
OF people who watched their flight fai

good evidence of interest. 1t is really

The company will continue to send up
three twice daily, at the specified hours,

unique and attractive advertising fea-
tare ever brought to Marshalltown.
Country people are now watching for
the balloons and securing the carnival
tickets attached to each one sent up.
Two of the balloons sent up yester-
day afternoon We're followed two and
cne-half miles southwest, and the tick

Deal. two city boys. Last night Earl
Waltemier and Will Showalter, two
residents of the country south of town,
were in the city with orders for tickets,
having secured them from the balloons
nearly three miles south of town. The
third one has not been heard from.
There is all sorts of fun for the boys
and great amusement for the older ones
in the balloon ascensions. The crowds
and interest is steadily increasing.

The Economy Of Canned Meats.

Americans are gradually learning some-
thing which Europeans have known for years
that canned meats are more economical and
quite as palatabe as fresh meats.
The economy OF canned meats is due to the
fact that when they reach the consumer they
are all ready for the table That means q saw
ing in fuel, time. and labor-a trinity of advant-
ages which appeals to every housewife.
The quality Of canned meats is the natural
outcome of the care taken in their preparation.
BY care" is meant good meat, well selected,
clearly handled. properly cooked, and packed in
attractive packages.
The extent of the trade in canned meats is
immense. The Cudahy Packing Co., for ex-
ample, makes no less than forty different
varieties The best sellers are-Lunch tongues,
sliced beef, veal loaf, potted chicken. potted
turkey, pork and beans, and Vienna sausage
CorEed beef is n staple while ox-tongues are
classed us luxury.
A safe rule to follow in buying canned goods
Is to order Rex" brand. There is nothing
better.
