Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott eXpedl'
lions were greatly hindered through
losing much OF their gaSoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..

low zero it puiverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains a large percentage OF
tin, and so, OF course, disintegrates III

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles
At any reliable druggists get jar OF
resinol ointment and a cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer OF the
resinol ointment, and cover with q
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv

CHAPTER XVIII.
Disturbing News,

He walked home swiftly through
the early night, his brain seething with
tumultuous thoughts. The revela-
tons of the day were staggering; the
whole universe seemed to have turned
topsy-turvy since that devastating
hour at Buttons inn. Somehow he
was not able to confine his thoughts
to Hetty Castleton alone. She seemed
to sink into the background, despite
the absolution he had been so ready,
so eager to grant her on hearing the
story from Sara's lips. Not that his
resolve to search her out and claim
her in spite Of everything was likely
to weaken, but that the absorbing fig
ure of Sara Wrandail stood out most
clearly in his reflections.
What an amazing creature she was!
He could not drive her out of his
thoughts, even when he tried to con-
centrate them on the one person who
was dearest to him of all in all the
world, his warm-hearted, adorable
Hetty. Strange contrasts suggested
themselves to him as he strobe along,
head bent and shoulders hunched. He
could not help contrasting the two
women. He loved Hetty; he would
always love her, of that he was posi-
