MOSQOITOES MEET
THEIR MASTER
Sweet Dreams Teaches Them
Their Lesson Quickly.

Even unto the lowly mosquito does a
sense of instinct extend.
It Is quite noticeable that a young mos
quito will avoid Sweet Dreams Just as
surely as do the old fellows. It's born
in 'em.
But suppose an unkind wind were to
blow a lot of strange mosquitoes into your
midst--those who haven't yet learned OF
Sweet Dreams? Then is the time to teach
them their lesson quickly.
On the morning that the, first bottle of
Sweet Dreams was made, mosquitoes then
fate was sealed.
Therefore 1t is asked that when mos1ui-
toes at your home become troublesome
that you try Sweet Dreams.-Then and
there.
Your druggist can supply Sweet Dreams.

MANS THROAT OPERATION
CAUSES GREAT INTEREST

Considerable interest has been
manifested in the case of John War
go, of Fulton street, Woodbridge,
who is recovering at the Perth Am
boy City Hospital after having a
piece of gristle removed from his
throat that became lodged there
while eating meat at his home Sun
day night according to the hospital
authorities. Two anonymous let
ters have been received at the hos
pital as to methods that could have
been used in dislodging the sub
stance. One stated that, IF
kerosene is good for cleaning pipes,
why not for human beings. The
other was, why not try potatoes.
DIR. Henry E. Orton, a specialist, of
Newark, was the physician that re-
moved the substance from the mans
throat and he is said to now be on
the road to recovery.

How Deep Do Whales Dive?

IL, indeed, there be any of the. lat
ter. On the contrary, the available
evidence indicates that they can feed
on ordinary light-dwelling fishes and
cuttles which live in much shallower
waters. Blu. this is not all. It Is
known that the effect OF a pressure
OF more than. three atmospheres
proves fatal to human life. and al
though we may believe that whales
can stand treble this pressure, or
nine atmospheres, which would oc-
cur at about ninety yards depth, is
1t conceivable that they would resist
the effects Of ten times the latter
pressure, or ninety atmospheres? I?
Moreover, it does not seem possible
that a whale, whose body is only
slightly heavier than water at ordi-
nary pressure, could exert the muscu-
lar force necessary to propel that
body to depth of 1000 yards?
The authority mentioned contends
further that whales never sleep. One
Of his arguments is that individuals
will follow a ship for days, which
they could not we'll do while asleep.

x have held that when whales

depths. One authority esti-
mates that the larger members of the
group dive fully 1000 yards. Another
authority challenges this belief, and
states that, in his opinion, 100 yards
is the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive. and that many spe-
cies do not reach anything like that
limit. -
why SHOULD whales wish to go to
such depths?' asks this authority

which feed on, animalcules-, might
