NOT GLAD TIME FOR WHALES
Resemblance to a Submarine Already
is Known to Have Meant
Death to One.

an the North sea lived a whale"
That was long ago. Olivette in Au-
drains long popular operetta told
about the luckless end of that marine
mammal in melodious fashion. That
whale met a torpedo, and, mistaking
it for another and undesirable fish OF
strange shape, gave it battle with
dire results. Now from the same re-
gion we have authentic information
of a whale which was mistaken, not
by another whale, but by a warship,
for a submarine boat.
The body of that whale has been
cast UP on the Dutch coast full of
holes made by three-inch shells. Per-
haps a whale resembles a submarine
more closely than it resembles a tor
pedo. There are architectural differ
ences, to he sure, which would be
noted except in moments of extreme
excitement. On and near the North
sea today, however there is a great
perfectly neutral creature has suffer-
evidence that this whale, like his pre-
decessor, "loved to swagger and bull
ly," or that "the ladies loved him So"
Not being in comic opera, he, or she,
presumably had M characteristics I'M
usual to the whales of sober natural
history. No record of the incident
except the stranding of the mortal
remnant exists. One who would des-
cribe the encounter must use his inn
agination. A Kipling or a Bullen
might be moved to splendid ~utterance
by contemplation of this tragedy. but
in a daily newspaper we must stick
to facts, and the ~ascertained facts in
this case are scant.

THE GREAT
ANT KILLER
A Simple Method of Dealing With
This Pest.

All sorts of remedies have been
tried by housewives in the effort to
eXtermnate the pesky little ant-an
insect which has always been one of
the most aggrayating pests with which
the good housewife has had to con-
tend.
Invariably, however, these efforts
have been without success, until the
discovery of a paste by baker in
Los Angeles which showed women the
way to rid themselves of this annoy
ance forever.
This paste seems to have uncanny
powers over ants. 1t not only drives
them out of a house or store, but keeps
them out thereafter. Originally pre-
parec for the use of the inventor in
his own shop, its fame soon spread
with such rapidity as to cause its be-
ing placed upon the market for general
use.
This little remedy is known as Kel-
logg's Ant Paste, and can be obtained
at al modern druggists or grocers.
Try a package today-and watch your
ants disappear forever.-Adv.
