common with it as possiDIe.
She thought that one good thing would
be to have some similarity in costume
Mrs. Albers didn't want to wear white
apron to match the tails in the hen yard
for it would get too mussy, so she made
the tails match the apron.
Her practical reason for using the dyes
was to get a mark for quick identified
ton when her lens strolled across the
road to visit Neighbor Careys flock and
made the serious mistake of laying their
eggs in Neighbor Carey's nests.
The fifty Leghorns were frescoed yes
terday morning by Mrs. Albers and ..er
husband after they had bagged the head
of each hen to prevent the coloring
from running into the eyes. The. first
hen that got her head free after the
operation happened to see her tail reflec-
ted in the water pan. She Immediately
pecked off the bandage of the next hen
so that she could see her tail too.
Then the first two removed the ban
dages from two more and so on through
the flock. Then the run round began,
either from pride or fright. Today, if the
hens are still running Mrs. Albers hopes
to slap each tail as it flashes by her
with a whitewash brush.

Washing the Hair.

Doctor Lassar, the famous German
professor, says the first step toward
topping the falling of hair and toward
air health generally is to keep the
calp clean by washing. This should
re done daily in the beginning. and as
he scalp assumes more normal con-
lition, the head can be washed less
frequently. But don't make the mis-
axe Of using ordinary soaps and
hampoos. Use the one thing in all
his world which is above suspicion.
md that is Birt's Head Wash, the new
scientific preparation. 1t is made Of
Refined Soap, Cochin Cocoanut Oil,
White of Eggs. Glycerine and Salicylic
Acid. This formula is so generally
recognized as proper that you are in

HOW TO CURE A
TERRIFIC HEADACHE.

Many people suffer with an aching head
week after week, occasionally getting relief
from so-called headache powders and nerve
Supplying drugs. They never get cured
because they start wrong. Such people
should do little commonsense thinking.
Headache is simply the result, warning
signal, of far more serious trouble. Usu-
ally it means bad blood poisoned by an in
active or sluggish liver. Headache suffer-
ers are often nervous. cross and irritable.
Their sleep is disturbed and digestion i'm.
paired. The liver doesn't do its work right,
and the bile elements poison both nerve
and brain.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills
remove the cause of headache. They are
Natures true laxative, and give tone to
liver activity, are positive specific for bill
iousness and torpid liver. Get your liver
right by using Smiths Pineapple and But
ternut Pills and your head won't ache,
your nerves won't weaken, nor your food
distress you. Physicians use and recon-.
mend. They form no habit. You should
always keep then, on hand. These little
Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.
