DENT S CONDITION PILLS 
If your dog is sick, 
all run-down, thin and unthrifty, if his 
coat is harsh and staring, his eyes mat- 
terated, bowels disturbed, urine high 
colored and frequently passed — if you 
feel badly every time you look at him 
—eating grass won’t help him, 
DENT’S CONDITION PILLS 
will. They are a time-tried formula, 
that will pretty nearly make a dead 
dog eat. As a tonic for dogs that are 
all out of sorts and those that are 
recovering from distemper or are 
affected with mange, eczema, or some 
debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,

HOW TO FIND THE 
NORTH 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 552) 
his back in the snow, his rifle under his 
head and the little pack containing the 
untasted food thrown wearily aside in 
the knee deep snow. Why had not he re- 
traced his steps? 
A ll this is unnecessary and avoida- 
ble. As soon as you find that you 
are lost, calmly stop to think which 
side of the river, lake, or trail you are on. 
Consider about how far you could have 
traveled since leaving one of the above- 
named landmarks. Suppose, for instance, 
you are east of a river or logging road 
or trail you are familiar with. You have 
lost or mislaid your compass. It is rain- 
ing or snowing and you cannot tell where 
the sun is. If your closest friend should 
ask you pleadingly, “Which is north?” 
you could not tell him with any degree of 
certainty. What would you do; look for 
the mossy side of trees? There is no 
wind blowing; if there was you could, by 
remembering the direction from which it 
was blowing when you left camp, easily 
determine the direction of the north pole 
and therefore of your camp. But not a 
breath of air is stirring. You’re up 
against a hard one, unless you are in a 
hemlock country or know this little trick : 
Take your knife blade and rest it point 
dowmward cn the flat, smooth breech of 
your rifle, or even on your thumb nail. 
Select a place in the forest, preferably an 
open spot, where, if the sun were shining 
the rays of sunlight could reach the 
ground, uninterrupted by heavy growth 
of branches or foliage overhead. 
Turn the knife blade slowly around 
and you will see the shiny reflection of 
the steel on the polished surface of the 
rifle, or if you use your thumb, on your 
thumb nail. Look at this reflection from 
every side, and you will soon find that, 
while the blade shows a reflection on 
three sides, there is one position in which 
it will throw nothing but a shadoiv! 
There’s your clue — obviously the sun is 
on the opposite side. You know about 
what time of day it is, and therefore you 
can locate north. Try this out, practice 
it and check it with your compass on a 
rainy or cloudy day. I can vouch that it 
is well worth while. It served me well 
in Alaska. 
The hemlock trick, which is pretty gen- 
erally known in the north woods, is brief- 
ly this: The uppermost twig or bough on 
a hemlock leans or curls toward the east. 
Sometimes you will find an exception to 
this rule, but look at the tops of two or 
three hemlocks at once, and depend upon 
it, an overwhelming majority point east. 
Those that do not point east are rare, 
you will find upon investigation. If 
you don’t understand why or how this 
can be so, consider the sunflower!
