Fear Jack London is Lost In the
Pacific.
The editors of Woman's Home
Companion, for whom Jach Lon
don is sailing around the world in
his little boat Snark, state that he
is now over a month due at Tahiti
of the Society Islands, for which
place he sailed from Hilo Hawaii,
on October 27th.
The gas eugine with which the
Suark is equipped was not work
ing well then Mr. London left Ha
waii, and it is supposed by his pub
lishers that he has experienced
some more trouble with it, or that
he has encountered the doldrums
of the Pacific, by which the little
forty -five-foot boat might be buf
feted about for days or weeks, to
be dropped at length into a sea
dead calm. For such are the equa
torial doldrums.
London sailed from San Francisco
on May 4th and reached Hawaii
aboutra month later. He is ac
companied on his voyage around
the world by his wife, a captain,
an engineer, one sailor and two
Japanese servants. London ex
pects to spend seven years on his
voyage and to sail completely
around the world, stopping at in
teresting places wherever he goes.

the authority that these simple,

The mixture is said to cleanse and
strentrthen the clogged and iuactive
Kidneys, overcoming Hackache,
Bladder weakness and Urinary troub

Those who have tried this say it
positively overcomes pain in the
hack, clears the urine of sediment
and Tegulates urination, especially
at night, curing even the worst forms
of bladder weakness.
Every man or woman here who
feels that the kidneys are not strong
oractinsr in a healthy manner should
mix this prescription at home and

ders for many persons.
The Scrnnton (Pa.) Times was first
