mans salary yet that, he complained,
was where all his money went.
Il don't go to the fairs myself" he
said, but my socks go. My landlady
sends them. She belongs to several
societies that run sock darning
booths at all their affairs. Instead of
darning socks herself, or hiring the
laundress to darn them, she gathers
up all the socks belonging to her
men dodgers and sends them to the
church darning booths. The darners
are pretty girls. Now, what man, l
asked you, with a spark of self re-
spect, could afford to send 10-cent

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it l had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.

game came fast and cheetahs, CRATES,
rhinoceroses and more lions were
added to the list. in ali IA varieties OF
animals being secured. Meanwhile
Kermit was busy with his cameras
and the naturalists prepared the spe-
cimens.
George Mcmillan, an American, was
the next host of the hunters, and sew
eral weeks were spent on his fine Ju
ia ranch and in the surrounding coun-
try. There the game was very plenti-
full and many fine specimens were
bagged. Members of the party made
several extensive trips of exploration,
notably on and around Mount Kenia.
The expedition left East Africa De-
cember 10, crossed Uganda and went
down the White Nile, getting back to
comparative civilization at Gondokoro.
There they went aboard a steamer
put at their disposal by the sirdar,
and journeyed to Khartum, where
Mrs. Roosevelt met her husband, and
accompanied him in leisurely trip to
Cairo. During his stay in Egypt Col
onel Roosevelt was the recipient Of
many honors and made Several
speeches. One of them, in which he
praised the administration of the
British, gave considerable offense to
the native Nationalist. At the end of
March the Roosevelts sailed for Italy.
In a preliminary report to the
Smithsonian Institution Mr.. Roosevelt
summarized the material results Of
the expedition as follows:
ION the trip Mr.. Heller has pre-
pared 1920 specimens of mammals,
the majority of large size Mr.. Loring
has prepared 3,163, and Doctor Mearns
714-a total of 1897 mammals. OF
birds, Doctor Mearns has prepared
nearly 300, Mr.. Loring 500, and Mr..
Heller about fifty-a total of about
1000 birds.
"Of reptiles and batrachians, Messrs.
Mearns, Loring and Heller collected
about 1000.
"Of fishes, about 500 were collected.
Doctor Mearns collected marine fishes
near Mombasa. and fresh water fishes
elsewhere in British East Africa, and
