In fact, th© situation is so Gilbertian that it will probably be solved in a burst of hearty laughter from both sides. ’ Great Britain has suddenly discov- ' ©red among her numerous possessions ' two islands away down in the South*J Atlantic, far from the usual seafaring routes, which are indicated by red spots on the map. 1 man, anything colored red on the map of the world means that that thing belongs to England. It may be Aus­ tralia, India, Canada or a email is­ land no larger th berg. . A few days ago Office announced license had been weglan company and Thompson Islands, the Kin^,” for ten years in connection with whaling and tho collection of guano. This caused amaement at Oslo, and the Norwegian Government, through Its envoy in London, promptly —in­ formed the British Government that Bouvet Island was “annexed” by Nor­ way on Dec. 1 last, when it was visit­ ed by the Norwegian Antarctic Ex­ pedition, which had hoisted the Nor­ wegian flag and begun whale and seal hunting. Bouvet and Thompson Islands fig­ ure on the map of the South Atlantic about 1,750 miles south of Cape Town, land or have a pipe self into the an island? Clare • that across any trace of this island, and even at. the Hydrographic Depart­ ment of the British Admiralty its exis­ tence is registered as “doubtful.” Mystery also surrounds Bouvet Is­ land.’ Its French discoverer, who gave his name to it in 1739, was not sure if it was an island or part of a continent, and he was unable to go ashore. More than thirty years af­ terward Captain Cook twice failed to find the island, which Bouvet had charted incorrectly. In 1812 Captain Norris, an English­ man engaged on a sealing cruise, re­ discovered the island and recbrlsten- ed it Liverpool Island, in- honor of the then British Prime Minister. Norris got a party ashore, but the men were greeted with a tremendous blizzard and were compelled to spend a week there. The famous Arctic explorer Ross sailed in the find the Moore in 1845. ____ ____________ as to whether such an island really! existed. Later explorations have proved that Bouvet Island does really exist. Small in area, it is walled with gr-mt ice-bound cliffs and probably tho tip of merged volcano, two crater rise to peaks above sea level.------ "Haig’s Order Historic AH That is Needed is a Tonic; to Build Up the Blood, There are many people who have j been semi-invalids so long that they ! accept their condition as u life bur-! den.

Bob Becker, the sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune, visited this district during the present winter and he was successful in accounting for a magnificent specimen of a bull moose. "How these big boys are travelling,” said the guide to Bob Becker the morning after he had arrived in the district. "Papa moose and all the tures are warning signals that fall has gone and winter is here.” At that time Bob Becker and his guide were in a snug log cabin on the shore of Big Pog Lake, Metagama.

A simple and safe remedy for the common ills of babyhood and child­ hood should be kept in every home where there is either a baby or a young child.

Experienced mothers always keep Baby's Own Tablets in the home as a safeguard against the troubles that seize little ones so suddenly and the young mother can feel reasonably safe with a box of these Tablets at hand and ready for emergencies. Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative -act without gripping and they are absolutely guar­ anteed free from opiates or other harmful drugs. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont.

If you live near a lake and desire to help the muskrats during a particular­ ly bad winter, cut a hole through the ice and place an inverted box over it. The muskrats will do the rest, daub­ ing the sides of the hole with mud and hay so it will not freeze over, and lin­ ing the box with bedding. The muskrat really prefers to search for his food in the water. It will be a'service to him if you break the ice along the shores of the lakes and streams. He can drill through the ice, but sometimes every .moment counts, if the little animal is desper­ ately hungry. A food famine in winter, the exhaus­ tion of the supplies in the house, brings out the intelligence of musk­ rats. Working tegether, with a com­ mon purpose, they swim under the Ice and search the stream-bottom for food. When food is located the muskrats build a store-house on the ice near it. No matter how thick the ice, they will drill through it, and ..each "rat” must do his share. The. animal that refuses to take his turn at drilling is ostra­ cized, driven away by the others to shift for himself. The muskrat is well equipped to live under the Ice. In addition to his warm coat, he has a pouch of reserve air—to draw upon when he works un­ der the ice. Breathing against the under surface of the ice causes little -bubbles to form, and these are allow­ ed to oxygenate, again, continued indefinitely, muskrat breathes less fr under the ice. The apparent ferocity rat in winter has given servedly bad reputation with servers. Hunger will make mal savage. It must bo 1 that muskrats are never qu when the food supply is ample, is less "bossing” ill a colony of rats than among any other ; that I know of; they work* as rather than as individuals.
