THE POWER OF SUGGESTION
Remarkable Consequences that Re-
suited Because OF MIxup OF
Doctors Letters.

A physician is fond OF relating a
personal experience showing the pow
er of suggestion. According to Health
Culture, he says that a young clerk.
tagged from overwork and the heat
of trying summer, consulted him as
to his condition.
He put the usual questions to him,
examined his heart and lungs, gave
him certain instructions and told him
that he would receive more detailed
directions by telephone or letter on
the morrow.
The next day the patient received
letter from the physician telling
him that one Of his lungs was seri-
ously affected and that his heart was
not quite as 1t should be. He was told
to put his affairs in order; that
though he might live for weeks, or
even months, 1t was important that
he should leave nothing of import
ance unsettled
Naturally such news. practically

patient. He stayed that day from
the office, and in short time was in
most serious state. His people,
alarmed, sent for the doctor
On his arrival the physician was as

you been doing to yourself? You GER

few weeks vacation at the seashore
or In the mountains, and you would
be as good as new in short time.
The letter you received was intended
for another man. My secretary must
have mixed up the envelopes"
AS may be imagined. the patient
was overjoyed. 1t is needless to say
his recovery was rapid.
And the other. he with the weak
lungs and not too strong heart, on

DON'T PULL OUT THE
 GRAY HAIRS
NO LONGER NECESSARY, SAYS A
 WRITER.

"Puil out one gray hair and dozen will take it's place. is an old saying, which is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it is a sign that nature needs assistance. It IS natures call for help. Gray hairs, dull lifeless hair, or hair that is fall ing out is not necessarily a sign Of advancing age, for there are thous- ands of elderly people with perfect heads of hair without single streak of gray.
 When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old fashioned sage tea," which our grand parents used. The best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation of domestic sage, and sulphur, scien- tifically compounded with later dis covered hair tonics and stimulants, the whole mixture being carefully balanced and tested by experts.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harm less. It refreshes dry, parched hair, removes dandruff and gradually re- stores faded or gray hair to it's na- tural color.
 This preparation Is offered to the public at fifty cents bottle and Is recommended and sold by

sources of power and centers of in.

several generations. Nevertheless il
has been shown by the work of the
United States geological survey during
past years, and 1t is again demonstrate
ed report just issued by the survey,
that in spite of long familiarity of
manufacturers and Industrial men in
general with most of these rivers, the
water resources they afford have not
yet been appreciated and by no
means developed to their fullest ex.
tent In fact, there are very few
rivers in this great region in which
the developments OF water power
have come anywhere near the maxi
mum possible degree of usefulness.
The report mentioned, Water-Sup-
