head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible
When he would scratch the crust the water

/ would lay awake holding his hands so
that he could not scratch and dishgure him

got medicine. but it did no good Finally
a friend suggested Cuticura Remedies, so

AN OLD-TIME
REMEDY THAT
DARKENS The HAIR

For generations sage and sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows
the value of such a combination for
keeping the hair good even color,
for curing dandruff, itching scalp
and falling hair, and for promoting
the growth Of the hair. Years ago
the only way to get a Hair Tonic of
this kind was to make II in the home,
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays, almost
any up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready-to-use pro-
duct shllfully prepared in perfectly
equipped laboratories.
An ideal preparation of this sort ia
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Hair REM
edy, in which sage and sulphur are
combined with other valuable rene
dies Tor scalp troubles and thin
weak hair that is losing its color or
coming out After using this remedy
for a few days, you will notice the
color gradually coming back, your
scalp will feel better, the dandruff

a months time there will be a won.
derful difference in your hair.
Don't neglect your hair If It is full

ing out Get a ftty-cent bottle Of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist and see what a few davs'
treatment will do for you. All drug

money will be refunded II the rene

Mr.. Hofer reports continuous
drought in Southern California with
unsprouted seed in the ground in
many places, which was sown ova'
three months ago. Southern Cali
fornia is especially dry and for the
past 10 days has been having wind

however, is being made in that re-

amaze Won.

Most people must give to the bow
els some regular help, else they suf-
fer from constipation. The condition
Is perfectly natural. 1t is Just as
natural as It Is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never SO ac-
tive as youth The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
SO all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages, but never so
much as at SO.
Age is not time for harsh phy-
slcs. Youth may occasionally whip
the bowels into activity. But a lash
can't be used every day. What the
bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural tonic. One that can be
constantly used without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets and they
cost only 10 cents per box at apy

Christian Henry Helnecken, the
most wonderful of all the worlds pre-
cocious prodigies, was born at Lubbock,
Germany, in the year 1921. When but
nine and a half months of age this
human wonder could pronounce every
word contained In the German Ian
guagc, and before he had rounded out
his first year Of earthly existence he
knew all the leading events of the
worlds history. At the age Of four
teen months he could give chapter and
verse Of any quoted passage of the
Scriptures and knew the history OF
every book In both the Old and New
Testaments. At the age of two and
half years he could answer every
question in the Biographies and histo-
ries then in use and could converse
with visitors In either German, French,
Dutch, Latin or Greek. His fourth
year was devoted to the study OF re-
ligion ana ancient history. He had
finished the studies mentioned and had
started on course in oriental religion
when he suddenly died before complet-
ing his fourth year.
