Franz Josef Land.

By a~nnexing Franz Josef Land, Rus
STA increases the number, rather than
the extent, of her possessions. The
archipelago consists of about sixty
islands, almost all of the group being
covered with snow-clad glaciers. The
Austrian pioneers believed they had
discovered continuous land, but their
successors, the first of whom was Ben
jamin Leigh Smith, found that the ac-
QUESTION was broken up into islands.
Both Nansen and the duke of the
Abruzzi have explored the group. Now
that Austria's arctic territory has
been captured, we may hear of the
hosting of the British flag in Kaiser
Wilhelm II Land and Luitpold Land,
which areas in the Antarctic are Ger
man possessions. Wilhelm II Land
was discovered by the Gauss expedi-
ton, and Luitpold Land, in the We'd
dell sea, by Lieutenant Filchner.

A "FIyinc" MaIadv.


The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange malady that has broken out
at more than n %aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling it's
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, Of course,
until success is attained in this direc.
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

Their Pleasant Chat


Weary, and smelling of smoke, little
Mr.. Trimmer arrived home to find an
unusually tasty dinner waiting for
him. To add to his joy his better and
larger half was in the best of good
spirits.
They did not speak much during the
meal, merely beaming pleasantly on
each other. Afterward Trimmer rose
and took his accustomed easy chair
and the evening paper, feeling thor
oughly contented with life and the
world at large.
TO his surprise, his wife drew a has
sock up and sat down on the floor be-
side him.
John, DEAR" she said softly. 1--WE
got a whole lot of things l want to talk
to you about before bedtime"
Have you really, old girl?" he an
sWered, laying down his paper. Now
that is nice-that's really very nice!"

she murmured. why do you think it
is nice?"

to talk about a lot of things you
haven't got."-London Answers.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youngerl STry Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about SO cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be.
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
