To Freshen Furs.
Many owners of furs, on receiving
them from Bold storage or on taking
them from their summer packing box-
es, are distressed to observe that the
fur --even the most handsome -ap-
pears dead and lusterless, a condition
most noticeable when subjected to the
test of comparison with a- new set.
Furs in this condition are not attract
tive, and it ,is well worth the trouble
of applying the Russian remedy,
which both cleans and freshens.
The dead appearance of, fur, as a
rule, is due simply to the fact that it
is soiled. It never seems to occur to
most persons that any but white fur
becomes soiled, but it does. To neem

than any other people, take rye bran,

MYSTERIES OF
"THE MISSING'
AMAZING CASES OF MEN

Even Yet "Lost" Soldiers Are

question Is again raised by the dis-
covery in England the other day of .s►
'soldier who. two years -ago, was re-
ported ' "missing," and subsequently
presumed dead. ,
Here is a real, and not imaginary,
incident. A letter fora soldier who

her husband to say that he Is a prison-
er in'Get many. Other letters quickly
follow, till at last there comes the joy-
ful news that he is to be exchanged.
But the silence lengthens again.
What has happened? Nobody knows.
Finally, the wife receives an official
communication. The soldier reached
Switzerland, and there all trace of him
is lost.
Huns' Lack of System.
Beyond question; number s of poor
fellows for whose return relatives are ...

in such plague spots as Wittenberg, ,.
where , the Germans, when typhoid
broke out among the prisoners, • fled,.
leaving then to their fate.
Here—and similar horrors occurred •
elsewhere—our men died like flies in
autumn, and were buried without any
record being kept.
System of registration there was
none. A ratan alight have gone to a
camp like Wittenberg, died there, and
descended to a nameless grave.
Any Chance is Seized. .r
On the other hand, t-ithing is _more
certain than that some of the missing
are alive and wo'll. In --saying this, I
do not iwish to raise false hopes.
At certain stages of the war, par-
ticularly . during the retreat in 1914,
and again' last year, numbers of sol•
Biers lost touch with t1t•eir regiment,
some returning to our lines after a
longer or shorter iptervali and others
going to swell the total number of the
Lost Legion.
. After Majuba, a number of'the "pre-
sumed dead" cut a dash in various
parts of South Africa. One man, hav-
