Under America
Continued From Yesterday
Or Strange Journey to the Soutl
Pole. BY Charles Il. johnson.

Each taking an electric rifle, our
friends passed outside, and they had
no sooner stepped on the ground
than a loud voice, in perfect English,
addressed them, you need have no
fear strangers, for we are civilized"
and looking for the owner of the
voice, they saw a tall, white-haired
old man. who lowered above the
small forms of the rest, and who
was advancing towards them. He
extended his hand, and said that he
was glad to see some one from the
outside world once more. He then
told them his name was Frederick
Bell, and that he had been on his way
to the South Pole in a ship when
terrible tidal wave had come up and
carried the whole ship and crew down
into an underground channel through
an island cove.
This channel brought them, after
two days, to the land where they
were, and they had found 1t inhabited
bv a. queer sort of people, whom they
later found out were descendants of
South American tribes, and who
treated them kindly. They were an
intelligent sort of people, and had ad-
vanced as far as having schools for
their children and writing books. In
| their books they had traditions of
| how, long ages ago, their ancestors
had lived in a country where the sun
| was and that a great earthquake had
sent them down to this land. They
were brown-skinned, and no one ex-
ceeded FIVE feet in height. They We're
in continual gloom, and, besides this,
they lived in peace, save for the at
tacks of a gigantic tribe of people
who lived on the other bank of the
underground river. Bell told us that
all of his companions had died except
two, and that they were Americans,
and We're anxious to return home;
| but. while the people treated them
| kindly, they would not allow them ia
| leave.
our friends were treated kindly by
the people and their craft was hoisted

Another Wall About Black
heads

Dear Margery Doom:
kindly tell ME what viii remove
blackheads from my face. l bruise
the larger ones out, but they leave
holes afterward and appear again,
so l thought l would ask you for
some reliable remedy. They make
me embarrassed in company, and
would be greatly obliged if you
could mention something in your
valuable column. HELEN c.
Systematic, thorough cleaning OF
the face will remove blackheads.
1t cannot be accomplished over
night. About twice a week the face
should be steamed until the pores
are open. This is done by applying
hot cloths to the face until the skin
is very soft and pliable. Then wash
the face with a good soap and rinse
in hot water. Then squeeze out as
many blackheads as possible, being
careful not to pinch the skin or
bruise it any way. Rinse the face
in hot and then cold water.
To close the pores of the skin
and after removing blackheads they
are sure to be open and coarse
looking-app1y cloths wet in hot
witch hazel. Do not do this if you
are going out. The following lotion
is excellent for large pores, and is
also beneficial to a too oily skin:
Witch hazel, one and one half
ounces.
Tincture of benzoin, one-half
ounce.
Spirits of wine, one ounce.
Orange flower water, five ounces.
Mix the witch hazel and orange
flower water and add to the tine
ture of benzoin and spirits of wine,
which have been well shaken to-
gether. Then shake the whole. APP
ply night and morning, after the
face has been cleansed.

The maiden who takes ADVANTAGE
of the summer holiday for making

The initials should be laid above the
border on the towel itself unless the
border is wide enough to accommo-

Wow

Pets! How that reminds me o.
about two years ago, when l wa,
nearly thirteen, when my brother hat
pet skunk. We always called him
Wow, because the first word baby
said when she saw him was Wow
My brother bought him of a LITTLE
French boy when he was quite tiny
(the skunk, not the boy), and W.
brought him UP by hand and fed hin
milk with an egg spoon. He grew
and soon could eat bread and milk
little bits of meat and other odd,l
and ends.
He was quite tame, and we played
with him as we would a cat. Hid
made friends with Semmy, our biz
gray cat, but was always uneasy
when Keeper, our collie dog, wa,
around.
Once, when he had been with u:
almost six months, he ran away
Where he went to has always been
mystery to us, but, to our great 10y
he reappeared after three days. How
happy we were to have dear Wow
back again. We brought his little
basket in from the shed and put il
under the kitchen table, and there ht
slept every night till his death.
l must describe Wow to you. ThiI
live and tame skunk was velvet black
and his eyes were black, too, lik,
black diamonds shining through silk
fur. A wide white band of silver
fur stretched down his back. ThYtiI
Of his tail was white, too.
Poor Wow came to a sad, sad, end
Everybody around knew that he wal
a pet, and did not modest him, bui
some stranger in an auto thought hi
was wild, and shot him, much to oul
sorrow. The people in the auto wer,
sorry, too, when they found that HI
was pet. They wanted to buy hin
to have him stuffed, but, no, we would
not have that, and buried him undel
rose tree in the garden.

Real Wonder Worker
For " rinkIed Faces

Those who have tried all sorts OF so
called wrinkle remoyers' in vain effort
TO lose those unwelcome traces of age,
illness or worry, can scarcely find words
to express their delight with the Won
derful saXolite formula, once they have
given it a trial. The success of this
method is due not alone to its marvellous
effectiveness upon the deepest lines and
crowsfeet, as well as upon the very fine
ones-but also to its surprisingly quick
action and its entire harmlessness. It's
simplicity and it's inexpensiveness are
other commendable features, for one needs
only dissolve an ounce of powdered saxo-
the face in this solution. At once a re
markable transformation Is beheld.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles and
creases that is so noticeable, but facial
contour is remarkably improved and the
face looks much younger. One should be
sure to ask the druggist for the powdered
saxolite The lotion, being so refreshing,
is particularly grateful to tired faces

So interested were the three boys
that they did not hear the girls,

kerchiefs over mouths to stifle the

They were very near when Davie

To Wash an Eiderdown Quilt

Makes a lather with hot water
and soap and add a little liquid am
mona.
Steep the quilt in this for ten min
utes, then squeeze well and work with
the hands in the water till perfectly
clean.
You may have the use of several
lots of suds, but this, of course, de-
ponds upon how dirty the quilt is.
Rinse in two warm waters, In
which there ia little ammonia.
Lift from the water, squeeze as
much water as possible out by hand.
If you pass it through the wringer,
you risk bursting the quilt.
When this is finished, hang it in the
air to dry, shake occasionally, and
when quite dry beat smartly with a
cane carpet beaten of light, sound
cane, to separate the down.

For some time it has been whis-
pered that the straight figure would
shortly give place to old time curves;
it is even predicted that there may
be a suggestion of hips, too, by the
time winter arrives.
This taffeta frock with it's broad
girdle, looped-up, pannier-like, pep
lum certainly falls in with this idea;
the quaint haring skirt, with the
ruffies at the bottom is another late
design, decidedly different from the
tight skirt of the last few seasons.
Taffeta is charmingly suited to this
frock; one of the printed silks or a
cotton crepe or wolfe would also be
attractive for summer wear.
Taffeta is wide, averaging 3S to As
inches; it is priced from about S1.25 a
yard and up,

Useful Household Hints

To remove rust from steel, the fol-
lowing is excellent Cover the rusted
part with sweet oil, letting it stay on
for a day. Then rub it with a lump
of fresh lime and polish in the or
binary way,
When a tag comes off a bootlace it
can be renewed in the following
manner: Press a little black sealing
wax around the end of the lace and
shape to a point. This makes a ser
viceable new tag that lasts a long
time,
/ have found that old hair brushes,
which have become soft, can be made
quite hard and firm again by dip
ping them in a strong solution of
alum.
To prevent jam or marmalade or
anything of that kind from burning,
find it very good to butter the bot
tom of the preserving pan before put
ting the contents into it. This also
prevents them boiling over.

Correct for the Dance

Dancing has made a trained eve
ming gown almost impossible. Wom-
en- have got about this difficulty by
wearing evening gowns that are
really short.
These are quite comfortable, for,
although they are tight at the lower
edge, they are so short that they do
not interfere with the ankles in
dancing.
One of the new devices for the
woman who likes to wear train AMI
likes, also, to dance, is the separate
sash train, which is quite distinct
from the skirt and attached at the
waist. 1t can be easily picked up
and tucked up out of the dancer s
way.
