The reporter shrugged his shoulders; that was
something else he didn't know.
The Thinking Machine shot out the questions

Again Hatch shrugged his shoulders

An hour and half later he returned, to be thrust

about to move out for Springfield. Once settled in
their seats the scientist turned to Hatch, who

February Legends.

Why February has twenty-eight days
is explained in the legends of the past.
One is Of an old woman, who, tending
her flock, ridiculed the month of Feb
ruary because he had dealt so lenient-
ly with her and her sheep. Then Febru-
airy felt insulted and made leap year
and borrowed a cold day from March
and froze her and her flock. There is a
Norman legend which makes it out
that February had originally as many
days as the ether months, but Februa-
~ was a confirmed gambler and lost
at domino a day both to January and
to March. Strange to say, there is an
old story Of Egypt, wherein the god Of
February plays forfeits with the moon
and loses certain days.

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 maturation and in about
one-third the time required by the old
treatment. This is the greatest dis
covery and triumph of modern surgery.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also
allays the pain and soreness and pre-
vents any danger of blood poisoning.
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconvenience
and suffering such injuries entail. For
