When riiassaglng the arms use a

tention to the elbows, massaging the
left elbow with rhumb and third finger
of right hand nnd vise versu.
1/eave a little ot the cream on over
night to further soften the skin Wear
long cotton gloves, or cut the sleeves
out of an old flannel nightgown, or
use a clean, old pair ot white stock-
ings. This will avoid soiling bedclothes
and at the same time give yon full
benefit of the creaming.
In the morning, pat quite briskly
with a pad of cotton moistened with
Iced skin tonic, or use n little witch
hazel for the purpose.
Massage the hand* with the cream
too, working round and round and
then firmly downward as though put-
ting on a new pair ot gloves.
For nleachlng the nands. dimming

For very quick action. If hands have
been neglected and you wish them to

HOME MANICURE
fjM.F! hands, pink tipped, nails dlll-
* gently cared for. add immeasurably
to feminine charm, grace and good
grooming.
Of course, it ts best to have a week-
ly. or twice monthly manicure by a
professional This done. It I* a very
simple matter to keep the naif* in
perfect condition Only a minute a day
will be necessary to run an emory
board over the outer edge, to push
back the cuticle with a soft rowel
after washing the hands (this should
be a nahil) and to apply a hit of cu
tide oil or nourishing cream along thp
nail bed. This decreases am danger
or hangnails and makes It unnecessary
to have the cuticle cut frequently
After massaging with . the softening
cream or oil. an orange wood stick
■hould be used around the base of the
nail to keep the cuticle shapely and
free.
If you find It necessary to give your-
■elf a complete manicure at home you
will need: a Hie. emory hoard, orange
wood stick, cotton, cuticle remover
polish, nail white It you wish, cuticle
scissors and buffer. First, remove an>
remaining polish with a small piece
ot cotton moistened in the remover

One reason why hangnail* rnrm ®o

very often the cuticle removers used

Bridges, author of “The Romance of
Burled Treasure," has the following:-
At least half a million has been
spent hi enons to recover Uie pirate
treasure of Cocoa Island, and nt the
present moment there is talk of a
new expedition to look for it. Yet,
as one of the former treasure seek-
ers suid to the writer: “The only
w’ay of making any money out of
Cocos Island would he to start a
hotel for the treasure seekers."
You cannot get away from the fact
that treusure w’as burled on Cocos,
This lonely little island, which lies in
the Pacific. some (500 miles from the
nearest land, was a haunt of pirates
for nearly 1500 years, and the stories of
treasure burled there are numerous
and fairly well authenticated. The
last in particular.
In 1821, when the Spanish empire
In South America was tottering to Its
fall, there was sudden panic In Lima,
owing to the approach of a rebel
fleet.
A number of the wealthiest inhab-
itants hurried aboard an English brig
called the Mary Dler, which lay In
the harbor, and begged her skipper.
Captain Thompson, to carry them to
safety. He agreed to take them and
their treasure, and it Is said that the
value of the gold and Jewels brought
aboard exceeded £2,500,000.
Once at sen, Thompson turned pi-
rate, and Ids wretched passengers
were forced to walk the plank.
I.ater Thompson capturad hy
a British frigate, but managed to es-
cape and reach Newfoundland, where
he died. Before hiss death he confid-
ed his story to a man called Keating,
told him the treasure was hurled on
Cocos, nnd gave him certain clews.
The first senrqh began so long ago
as 1845,* but wns not successful.
There was another In 1870, a third In
1894, nnd since then few years have
passed without at least one party of
treasure seekers landing on Cocos
and digging for the Limn treasure.
In stating thnt half a million has
heen spent In the search we are prob-
ably far below the real sum. It Is a
costly business to fit out a ship for
so long a voyage, and some of the
vessels employed have been large.
The Melmore expedition, widch
sailed from Barry. In Wales, In 1913,
was estimated to have cost £100,000.
Another attempt by Earl Fitzwllliam
and Mr Harold Cray cost a deal of
money, while a Canadian vessel
which recently visited the island, car-
ried. no fewer than forty picked lum-
bermen engaged specially for their
powers of work and paid at a high
rate of wages.
There have certainly been no few-
er than 2G separate searches, and If
you average these at only £20.000
apiece, y.ou have a sura In excess of
half a million.
Why, you will ask. If the treasure
Is there, has it not been found? After
all, the island is small, being only
about live miles long.
The reason is simple. (Tocos lies
in the tropics. It has a very hot cli-
mate with an enormous rainfall. One
result is that the shore line Is con-
tinuously changing. Thousands of
tons oC earth and rock dislodged by
floods from the pedpltous cliffs con-
stantly destroy landmarks and have
probably buried the treasure cave or
caves deep beyond finding.
Added to this, the whole Island is
covered with brush und Jungle, which
grows utmost as fast as It can be
cleared. To make any reul search
you would need not 49 men, but 400.
It is safe to prophesy that Cocos will
hold Its golden secretB till the crack
of doofii.
The most* mysterious of all the
world's many treasure Islands is Oak
island, a little spot of land lying off
the coast of Nova Scotia. Here, so
the story goes, lies hurled a vast
treasure of gold and gems. The site
of the cache has been Axed at the
foot of un undent oak tree not far
from the shore, and here digging be-
gan nearly a hundred years ugo.
Ten feet below the surface the dig-
gers came upon onk timbers. Ten
feet lower they struck a framework
of oak. There seemed no doubt but
thnt they were exenvating an old
shaft Down they went, and at a
depth of 90 feet unearthed a flat
stone 3 feet long and 10 Inches wide.
On this these words were cut:
“TEN FEET BELOW TEN MILLION
POUNDS ARE BURIED."
Night was closing down when this
discovery was made. The diggers
returned to their tents, crazy with
excitement. At dawn next morning
they were back at the pit, to find It
full nparly to the brim with salt wa-
ter. The sea had broken in.
A new company was formed,
pumps were obtained, but no pump
could cope with the Atlantic ocean.
More and more money was poured
out by the shareholders, a great
coffer dam was erected, and a con-
siderable force of men was employed
on the work of recovering the treas-
ure.
Right up to 1914 there were n num-
ber of men with modern machinery
nnd steam pumps at work, yet, for
nil the treasure that wns recovered
the money might ns well have been
flung Into the sea.
There, however, wns the stone with
its inscription. Can anyone imagine
a' pirate digging a hole 90 feet deep
simply for the purpose of playing a
practical Joke on posterity?
One day In the autumn of the year
1588 there sailed into Tobermory bay
the stately If somewhat battered
Spanish galleon Fiorencia. Hurd
blows had failed to teach her brag-
gart captain manners, and he sent a
boat ashore, demanding provisions.
We have no space here to tell the
whole story of the Spaniards’ quar-
rel with “Big Lachlan" and his hard-
bitten followers, hut In the end the
Spanish vessel was blown up and
sank at her moorings, carrying down
treasure of a value estimated at a
million of modern mouey.
Efforts to recover that treasure
began In the Seventeenth century
nnd have continued ever since. While
It is Impossible to form any accurate
estimate of the amount spent on the
search we should probably he well
within the mark If we said £100,uoo.
So far, all that has been found
Is a bronze cannon, some vessels of
pawter and silver, two golden gob*
lets, ami a few coins. Today the
wreck la sunk so deep In the mud
that all trace of U lias vanished.
To moat of ua treasure hunting Is
pure romance, and It Is very dlfltcult
to realize the number of those who
take it seriously. Yet at this minute,
while you read these lines, there are
hundreds of persons actively engaged
in treasure seeking. They are search-
ing the sandy cays of the (torlhheun,
hunting for lost mines In the western
states and Mexico, digging among the
"Tupadns," the ancient tombs of

gold among the ruined cities of Af-
rica nnd Asia la never ending.
From the lone pros|>eci«>r with his
pick and shovel to the well-equipped
steam yacht with the newest Inven-
tions lor metul detection, all these
people spend their lives and fortunes
in chasing the will o’ the wisp of
treasure.

TOTEM POLE NOT
ALWAYS OBJECT
OF REVERENCE
Most Prisoners Counterfeiters
The counterfeiting group Is the
largest in the United States prisons.
It constitutes 28.1 per cent of the
convicts in a new penitentiary at
Lewishurg, Do.
The path of glory, so far as the
IndiaiiH of Alaska are concerned,
leads to the erection of a totem pole.
There Is, however, a wide signifi-
cance in where the pole is placed and
by whom it 1h erected. If by the fam-
ily of the deceased, then the totem
pole is a symbol of deep reverence
and tribute, but often an enemy
erects a pole near his own home to
ridicule. In such Instances lavish
ceremonies are held whem the pole
Is displayed and the meanings of
carvings are explained. Those who
attend ary expected to remember
what each design and figure symbol-
izes. Often to ridicule a rival or dis-
credit an Insolvent debtor the bend
on the pole is inverted during a feast.
Unlike the Far East, where Mos-
lem temples and Images are con-
structed to he idolized, the Indians
of the North never have considered
their totem poles as idols or deities.
They are never worshiped.
Many of these long shafts, with
queer dabs of puint and monstrous
figures, serve, more or less, as pic-
torial records of history, and myth-
ology in the Indian world. Some rep-
resent the raven, the eagle, the wolf,
hear, sea Hon, frog or heaver, and
others are crests of various clans,
which serve as does the coat-of-arms
in England. Battles and other events
are commemorated by them.
Arriving nt Juneau, the lavish dis-
play of totems silently tells you this
must he an original Indian country,
hut of Indians who arc different from
other North American tribes. They
really are reminiscent of Asiatic
races, for It Is said that many of the
early natives arrived by way of the
Strait of Bering after crossing the
sen. Heavy war paint and feathers
never constituted one of their chief
characteristics, ns in the case of the
American Indians who sold Manhat-
ton island for a song.—New York
World Telegram.
The probability of tornado destruc-
tion Is less than by fire or lightning,
and It has heen estimated officially
that the chances a tornado will cross
the locality where any Individual may
happen to be are 1 in 625.000.
Canal Ha* Traffic Light*
Traffic lights, such as those which
direct motorists at numerous Intersec-
tions throughout the country, control
shipping in the Capa Cod canal. The
lights are on a pile dolphin near the
western entrance of the canal.
Sine Die
This Ijitin phrase, pronounced sync
dy-ee, means literally "without a day,"
and Is used to denote a postponement
or adjournment without any day be-
ing fixed for reassembly or for the re
anrnpHnn of fha soft Jeer
The Word “Impeachment"
The meaning of the word "Impeneh-
ment" is aeeusation. and to say that a
President was impeuched means thnt
he was accused of certain acts by a
method laid down in the Constitution.
Andrew Johnson was so Impeached,
but was acquitted.
Frequency of Storm*
The occurrence of more lightning
storms in summer is caused not alone
because weather conditions are then
best for the formation of strong up-
ward currents of air having high veloc-
ity, but also because the raindrops are
probably warmer.

It Is said of Dladstone, the famous
English statesman that he taught his

plified by the use of a new type of
submarine, recently tested in New
York. This small craft can crawl
about the ocean bed. nnd has n hatch
through which n diver can leave or

When d Child Wont Study
“Kept after school!” And it isn’t
the child’s fault, or the teacher’s.
His mother is to blame How can a
boy get his lessons when his senses
are dulled day after day by dosing
with sickening purgatives? When
a child’s bowels arc stagnant they
need help, of course But not some
drastic drug to upset the stomach,
perhaps weaken the entire system;
or form the laxative habit. On
Here’s a boy who gets good marks,
has time and energy for play He is
never iU, hardly ever has so much
as a cold. When he docs show any
symptoms of being sluggish, his
mother knows just what to do. She
gives him a little California Syrup
of Figs—and that is all It’s a
natural, fruity laxative that is
agreeable to take, and its gentle
laxative action comes from senna.
Parents are urged to use just
