SICILY is LAND OF ROMANCE
Island of Picturesque History Has Pro.

Sicily's history is as, vivid and pic
turesque, as ferocious and creative and
destructive, as mythical and intensely
practical as the stories of all the rest
of the world put together, says Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. And in
beauty of nature, of climate, of man
and of beast the island is a paradise
today, whether or not it was ever the
voorhees,, painless, passionless elysium
where our first ancestors enjoyed all
the good things of life without having
to toll.
Nature itself, now in the guise of the
misunderstood gods of old, now in con-
vulsions or in quiet fertility that sci
ence has made plain to US, weaves it's
mysterious shuttle through and through
the highly colOred fabric. And men
such men Tower above their fellows
in the story like Titans: Pindar, Aes-
chylus Theocritus, Thucydides, Archi-
modes, the two great Hierons, Cicero,
Verres, Diodorus, Hamilcar and Hanni-

King Belisarius, the great Crusaders
Richard of the Lion Heart and Louis

ancient and medieval romance and
chiValry.

Holland to Send Tobacco.

This years export of tobacco from
Holland to Germany is to be financed
by the Netherlands Association Of To-
bacco Dealers, a company specially
formed for that object with a capital
Of S2O,0OO,000. With a view to main
tanning it's exchange rate, Berlin stip-
ulates that German treasury bills of
two years term shall be taken in pay
ment for such goods, the bills being
guaranteed by the Reichsbank and six
other leading German banking insti-
tutions. Should the present shipping
stagnation continue, or the shortage
of cargo space become such that the
Netherlands East Indian tobacco crop
cannot be transported to the Dutch
market, endeavors will doubtless be
made to ship the tobacco, or a large
part thereof, to America. This would
obviate the customary pilgrimage of
American buyers TO the Amsterdam
sales.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to

If not remedied causes the hair roots

Get a % cent bottle of KnOwlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance an incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just

AIR DRAINAGE is ESSENTIAL
No Farm Crop Can Endure Wet Feet
If Land Is Not Worth Draining
1t Is Not Worth Keeping.

Air drainage is as essential as soil
drainage. 1t Is not always the high
places that are free from frost. Ere
quently there are pockets among the
hills where crops and fruit suffer late
in the spring and early in the fall from
the ravages of the frost despot. On
low lands there also seems to be places
which frost apparently avoids at I'M
seasonable times. These locations have
well-established boundary lines which
are known to people of the community.
No fruit can endure wet feet. This
principle obtains in all farm crops. If
your ground is not worth tile draining,
it is not worth keeping, much less es-
tablishing it to fruit

DEMAND FOR SKIS GROWING
Popularity of Winter Sport Has In.
creased Wonderfully in United
States and Canada.

You scarcely would think that there
would be a market for skis in Arizona,
or in California, with it much-yaunted
climate-but it's true. And, moreover,
the st. Paul Pioneer Press says, there
is a demand for them in these two
states-as well as all other states OF
the Union where it is possible to in
dulge in that winter sport. As for
Canada, the demand from that quarter
Tor these locally made skis is immense.
One reason probably for this demand
on st. Paul made skis is that the
largest ski mandatory in the world
is located, here. For the manufacture
of skis. Louisiana yellow pine, Florida
hickory. ash and maple are used, the
hickory being the best for skis used by
a jumper. Every ski must be a perfect
piece of wood, any pitch hole or defect
Immediately making the wood unfit for
use.
The wood, after being seasoned thor
oughly, is planned and then goes to the
markers bench, where the pattern is
marked on it. It is then cut out with
saws according to this pattern, grooved
on the bottom to give the ski runner
better control of his skis, steamed and
the prov" bent, the hole cut for the
harness which holds the feet to the ski,
and then finished and painted.
Ski running and jumping has in
creased wonderfully in the United
States and Canada in the past two
years. Even the United States govern
ment purchases skis here for the use
OF its rangers and other officials, for
whom the SHOWS of the north make
such implements necessary.

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid In the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair or bald
head In early years is. indeed. often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing In young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simL.es. Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as Ii is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package Of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order TO expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid In the blood
should quickly disappear after treat

DOING Without Copper.

In Germany, where almost all the

for it in the peaceful arts. In house
wiring, for instance, iron wire mas

however, be used as conductor OF
electricity for long distances, nor
where exposed to the all, because it
would cost too much aid because it
rusts too quickly. Nor IAN it be used
for telephone wires.
