A sea captain called at a village inn
and asked the landlady, young
widow:

oUAKEs HARD TO FoRETELL
Scientists Only Know That Some
Regions Are Less Liable to Dis
turbance Than Others.

No prediction can be made safely az
to future earthquakes in any particular

more likely to quake in the future than
are regions which have long been free
from seismic disturbances.
No part of the continent seems less
likely to be shaken than the Mlssisslp-
pi basin. Yet there were disastrous
earthquakes about the mouth Of the
Ohio river in 1S11-13. Regions covered
with thick layers Of clay. sand, gravel,
glacial drift, etc. like much of the
basin of the upper Mississippi, are loss
likely to suffer severely than those

yields only when the stress at some
place has become too great for the
strength Of the rocks Of the crust at
that place. Yielding in one place, or in

Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, they may be healed without matur- ation and in about one-third the time required by the old treatment. This is the greatest discovery and triumph of modern surgery. Cham berlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness and prevents any danger of blood poisoning. Keep bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, not to men tion the inconvenience and suffering such injuries entail. For sale by all dealers.
