GUARD AGAINST EVIL
Ornaments Supposed to Ward
Off Disease and Bring Luck.
Although Most People Profess to
Laugh at Idea of Wearing Them
Purely for Luck, Yet Charms
Are Popular With Many.

London.-Perhaps the instinct to
avert the evil eye is born in our ma
turea Civilization lad lessened It to
a great extent, but In every race
we fnd an instinct exists. The wear
ing OF nearly all personal adornment
seems to have originated In an idea
Of pacifying evil deities.
The savage wears ornaments sym
bolizing the protective powers sup
posed to be able to keep away harm
or danger. In the West Indies there
IL a bean or seed which the natives
think possesses many valuable prop
critics. II carried In the purse they
say the owner will never want for
money; II hung on a watch chain good
luck win ever be with the wearer. But
woe betide the man who loses his pre-
cious charm. The East Indian leaves
a tiny corner of his embroidery unfin-
lshed to propitiate the gods; the dusky
mother calls her baby hard names
for fear her love should bring Ill for
tune upon him.
In England superstitious country
folk tie amulets around their necks to
prevent disease. Some of the earliest
of these were skillfully wrought by
the people who inhabited this country
thousands of years ago and treated
flint much the same as cameo, pro-
ducing varied effects by cutting
through into the different layers of
color. Several examples of this prac-
tically lost art may be seen In the
museum at Ipswich They are carved
to represent the heads of men and
women, birds, fishes and reptiles. and
are for the most part cleverly and
prettily done.

.0LD.IIME REMEDY
DARkENS THE hair

From time immemorial, sage and
sulphur hive been used for the hair
and scalp. Almost everyone knows OF
the value of such combination for
darkening the hair, for curing dan
druff and falling hair, and for making
the hair grow.
In olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, method
which. was troublesome and not al.
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-t0:date druggist can supply
his patroos with a ready-to-use prod.
uct, skillfully compounded in perfect
ly equipped laboratories. The Wyeth
Chemical Company of New York put
up an ideal remedy of this sort, called
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, and authorize druggists to sell it
under guarantee that the money will
be refunded if it fails to do exactly
as represented.
If you have dandruff, or if your hair
is turning gray or coming out, don't
delay, but get bottle of this remedy
today, and see what few days treat
ment will do for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
