SECRET OF THE AGES SOLVED
Sven Hedln Claims to Have Discov.
cred the Sources Of erahma-
putra and Indus.

OF the results achieved by Sven
Hedin's latest plunge into the wilder
ness Of Thibet, 1t is probable that he
himself, possessed as he is by a pas
sion, for scientific geography, would
rank as the greatest his discoveries
of the sources of the Brahmaputra
and the Indus.
A sense Of exultation is quite appar-
ent as he writes Of his standing by
the small spring, sacred in the eyes
of the Thibetans, which'is the upper
most of the headwaters of the Indus.
I'VE passed remarkable evening
and a memorable night at this i'm
portant geographical spot, situated
1896 feet above sea level.
Here l stood and wondered wheth-
er the Macedonian Alexander, when
he crossed the Indus 1900 years ago,
had any notion where its source lay,
and l reveled in the consciousness
that except the Thibetans themselves,
no other human being but myself had
penetrated to this spot.
Providence had secured for me the
triumph Of reaching the actual sources
Of the Brahmaputra and the Indus, and
ascertaining the origin Of these two
historical rivers, which, like the
claws Of the crab, grip the highest Of
the mountain systems OF the world
the Himalayas.
Their waters are born in the reser-
voirs Of the armament and they roll
down their floods to the lowlands to
yield life and sustenance to $4,000, 600
human beings. Not without pride, but
still with feeling OF humble thank.
fulness, stood there, conscious that
l was the first white man who had
ever penetrated to the sources of the
Indus and the Brahmaputra."

BEST WAY OF BACKING FEL0N
Holding Sore Finger In Hot Wood
Ashes Is the Method Most Gen.
ally Recommended.

A simple home remedy that taken
IN time has been known to back many
felon is to hold the sore finger in hot
wood ashes. These, when burnt to ash,
are put in half pint or more of boil
ing water and the finger dipped up and
down in 1t until 1t cools.
II wood ashes cannot be found,
those from Goals may be used. though
they are not so effective.
The modern treatment of a felon is
not to wait for lancing until It comes
to head, but to cut in deep while the
sore is still hard. This needs a surg.
con and should never be attempted
by the novice. It is an heroic measure
for victim at best.
Everything with a felon9 depends
upon taking II in time. Neglecting 1t
not only means great suffering, but
may mean a finger dishgured for life
At first twinge Of pain dip finger re-
peatedly in hot water or apply some
good linament or salve. There are sev.
eral that are especially noted for their
efficacy in backing felons, boils and
carbuncles.

Feminine FortItude,

Who will say that women are
afraid! Who will venture to call them
the weaker sex?" The true modern
woman fears no peril. We already
know that she-like all women, 1T all
times-could endure even the most
excruciating pain with admirable for.
titude and. generally speaking. much
better than the average man. And
yet, in spite Of facts. there are men
who will deny that fearlessness, as
they deny this fortitude. There still
exists-and there will probably al
ways exist-the type of husband, for
instance. who tells his wife, after she
has already gone through some ter
