sharp, acrid fluid which diseases
instead Of preserves the natural
health and texture Of the skin.
Lying just beneath the outer
covering or tissue-skin is SEN
Sitive membranouS flesh which
surrounds and protects the tiny
veins, pores and glands. 1t is
here the impurities of the blood
are deposited, and the acrid
matter causes irritation and in
hammation which splits or
breaks thethin, tissue-like cuticle,
and the result is outwardly man

Rheum, or some other dishgur-
ing or annoying eruptive disease.
1t can readily be seen that
since Skin Diseases are the re-
suit of bad blood, there can be
but one way to cure them
purify the blood. Salves,
washes, lotions, ETC., are not
able to do so, because they do
not reach the blood. Such
treatment is of no value except
for its ability to temporarily
relieve itching and assist in keep
ing the skin clean.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases
of every kind by neutralizing the
acids and removing all humors
from the blood. S. S. S. cools
| the acid-heated circulation, builds
it up to its normal strength and
thickness, multiplies its rich, nu-
tritious corpuscles, and adds to
its purity in every way. Then the

inflamed by sour impurities, is
nourished, soothed and softened

is a typical phase Of our lives which
cannot be illustrated otherwise. Seem
ing trivta1ities were seized upon as
food for thought. Why has the dog
a tail at all? The bear. the musk OK,
the caribou and the hare each in its
own way succeeds very well with but
a dwarfed stub. Why does nature In
the dog expend it's best effort in grow
ing the finest fur over seemingly
useless line Of tail bones? The thing
is distinctive, and one could hardly
conceive Of the creature without this
accessory, but nature in the arctic does
not often waste energy to display beau
ties and temperament. This tail must
have an important use, otherwise 1t
would soon fall under the knife of
frost and time Yes! 1t was imported
into the arctic by the wolf progenitor
Of the dog from warmer lands, where
its swing cerved useful purpose in
fly time. A nose made to breathe
warm air requires some protection IN
the far moth No animal feels this
aLortcoming as much as man. The
dog supplied the need with his tail. At
the time when made this discovery
cold wind charged with cutting crys-
tails brushed the pack. Each dog had
his back arched to the wind and his
face yelled with an effective curl Of his
tail. He Sas comfortably shielded
from icy torment by an appendase
adapted to that very purpose.
A Heavy Snowstorm.
On May we were stopped at 6 a. m.
by the coming Of the gloom Of an un-
usual gale. The wind had been steady
and srrong all night, but we did not
heed its threatening increase of force
as usual, driving coarse snow with
needle points. The ice about was old
and hummocky, offerirs difficult line
of march, but some shelter. In the
strongest blasts we threw ourselves
over the sled behind hummocks and
gathered new breath to force few
miles more.
Finally, when no longer able to force
<ne dogs through the binding drift, we
sought the lee Of an uplifted block Of
ice. Here suitable snow was found
for a SNOW house, and a few blocks
were cut and set, but the wind swept
them away like chips. The tent was
tried, but it could not be made to stand
in the rush of the roaring tumult. In
sheer despair we crept into the tent
without erecting the pole. Creeping
into the bags, we then allowed the
tapping silk to be buried by the drift
ing snow. Soon the noise and discon-
fort Of the storm were lost, and we
enjoyed the comfort Of an icy grave.
An efficient breathing hole was kept
open, and the wind was strong enough
to sweep of the weight Of a dangerous
drift. A new lesson was thus learned
IN fighting the battle of life which was
afterward useful. '>+..
Several days Of icy despair now fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession.
The wind did not rise to the full force
Of storm. but it was too strong and
too cold to travel. The food supply
was noticeably decreasing. The daily
advance was reduced. With such
weather starvation seemed inevitable
Camp was moved nearly every day,
s but ambition sank to the lowest ebb.
TO the atmospheric unrest were added
the instability Of broken fee and the
