Sun Now Never Sets On The United States Flag. Orcnt Britain Is no longer the only nation thut can say that tho sun never sets on Its territory. Since the United States acquired the Danish West Indies it enn make the same boast, says Youth's Companion. Hitherto the little Island of Oulebra, which Is virtually a part of Porto Hico, has been our most easterly point of land, nnd the Island of B&tabac in the Philip pines our most westerly point. Tho distance between them Is Just a little less than 180 de grees, or half the circumference of the eurth.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callous the soreness Is relieved and soon the entire corn or callous, root and all, lifts off with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment It is ap plied, and simply shrivels the corn or callous without inflaming or even Ir ritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callous. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get it at any wholesale drug house for you. A Knowing Boy. "My father and I know everything In the world," said a small boy to his companion.

TOY INDUSTRY GROWS Huge Increase in Number of Fac tories in Country. OLD RECEIPT TO Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streak ed or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some, 'if Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe Improved by the addition of other ingredients for auout ou cents. uveryDoay uses tms preparation now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as It does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toil et requisite. It is not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Another Bloke.

The American toy Industry has ad vunced by leaps and bounds during the I mi. si 50 years und has gained additional prestige as a result of the European wnr, according to announcement made by Uncle Sam through the department of commerce. Since 1859, while the growth in popu latlon has been only 210 per cent, the number of establishments In the United States where toys are made has in creased 2,817 per cent; the number of ivrtge-earners employed In the concerns has Jumped 4,381 per cent, and the capital Invested In toy manufacture bus Increased 11,050 per cent. The par capita expenditure for toys has In creased 1,165 per cent. . In 1850 the United States Imported nearly twice as many toys as it pro duced. Twenty years later conditions were reversed nnd the country was producing more than twice as many toys ns It purchased abroad. In 1014 the value of the output of American mode toys was 1.6 times the value of the year's toy Imports. In the fiscal year 1912 the United States Imported from Germany $1 384,372 worth of dolls and $7,506,757 worth of other toys. For' the fiscal year 1016 the doll Imports dropped to $617,- 333 and the other toy imports from Germany to $1,758,683. In the past the United Kingdom and Canada have been the best customers for American-made toys. "GET THE MAP HABIT" IS TRADE EXPERT'S ADVICE Uncle Sum's Commercial Attache In Orient Finds Ignorance of Ge ography Here. "Get the map habit" Is the gist of the advice given by Julean Arnold, American commercial attache to China and Japan, to those of his fellow-coun: trymen who are desirous of doing busi ness In the far East. In the course of an Interesting nnd valuable report to the department of commerce at Wash ington, he says: "In touring the United States to as sist American manufacturers and mer chants to a better understanding of their trade opportunities In the orient, I found a most deplorable dearth of maps In chambers of commerce, manu facturing plants and business offices. Even where commercial organizations were equipped with foreign-trade de partments, I seldom found a map of n foreign country In evidence In such deportments. Sometimes when sn In quirer asked about the location of a city In the orient, I found the commer cial organization through which I was working unable to furnish even an at las to which I might refer my Inquirer. The American people must get the map habit if they are to take up seri ously the question of foreign-trade ex tension. When the maps are on the walls they will be used, and when the maps are not on the walls, In nine cases out of ten, atlas or other refer ence books will not be used. When the maps are.on the walls, Interest in foreign countries will be Increased." Mr. Arnold insists that a knowledge of the geography of the country where Americans wish to trade Is absolutely necessnry if business relations are to be satisfactorily developed In 'the fu ture. Throughout the United States,' according to him, he found Instances of deplorable Ignorance of geography. "For some unaccountable reason," he writes, "most people seem to look upon China as a country entirely In the tropics. When I mentioned Pe king as being in the same latitude as Philadelphia, there was much genuine astonishment displayed." HIGH COSTS HIT UNCLE SAM Expense of Feeding Each Man In Army More Than Doubled In the Past Twelve Years. Uncle Sam, tho largest Individual housekeeper In the United States, Is the hardest hit of all by the high cost of living. He spends between $9,000,- 000 and $10,000,000 a year' to feed his soldiers and sailors alone. In the last 12 years his food costs have more than doubled. The army ration today Is approximately 81 cents ; In 1808 It was less than 16 cents. It costs Uncle Sam more money to feed the boys at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., thnn It costs to feed the Soldiers In Manila. The reason for this is meat. Chinese beef Is now bought at 10 and 11 cents a pound at Hong-Kdng nnd other points. New Zealand and Australian mutton runs cheaper than the American product. In addition to this, rice, prunes, peaches and other commodities, Including beet sugars of the Pacific coast travel to the Philip pines In army transports and the freight charge, which figures In the prune and peach eaten In the East, is Unlimited. Onion Seed Imports Grow. There were 74,087 pounds of onion seed valued at $83,132 Invoiced at the American consulate at Tenerlffe, Ca nary Islands, for the United States during 1916 compared with 38,654 pounds valued at $40,828 for 1915, Uncle Sam reports.
