RULES ON TABLE DECORATION
Amateur Needs No Help From the

These Hints.

1t is not necessary to have ones
table decorated by a professional If
the amateur will remember a few sa-
hent rules Of table decoration.
Do not have clashing colors. They
Jar on the eye like "calithumpian"
serenade on the ear. To promote this
harmony take into consideration the
color of the rooms and of ones prin'
cipal china; likewise. unless your
complexion is of the best, your own
looks.
A one-color scheme is always safe,
but should have background OF green
In foliage or trailing vine. In combi-
nation do not try to be bizarre, and
remember that all shades of the same
color will not harmoniZe.
Pink and lavender are charming to.
gether, and far less commonplace than
blue or pink. Dark blue and purple
and pale yellow are effective; 3d.
oddly enough, are orange and scarlet,
as scarlet sage and golden rod.
Further consider the season OF the
year. A vivid decoration that would
look well in the fall or winter would
be ugly In hot weather. Likewise
would be ugly in your color scheme
for the lighting standpoint-natural
or artificial.

haps it attracts men more than wom-

children.
Let the small boys discover bird

wondering over or admiring the
strange or beautiful feathered crea-
lures within, and children walking
with their mothers, if they should spy
this window, are sure to tug her
toward 1t to give them a chance to
look in.
The bird store window interests all
children, as It appears to interest also
many grown men who may be drawn
to 1t by a natural fondness for birds
and animals, or be attracted by the

Mixed With Sulphur It Makes Hair
Soft, Beautiful; Cures
Dandruff

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat
ural color dates back to grandmother's
time. She kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and abundant with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But the brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays skilled
chemists do this better than ourselves.
By asking any drug store for the
ready-to-use product-called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy"-you

cents Some druggists make their
own, which is usually too sticky, so
insist upon getting Wyeths, which
can be depended upon to restore nat
ural color and beauty to the hair and
is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish,
itchy scalp and folling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says his customers insist on Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, because, they say,
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been APP
plied-it's so easy to use too. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. Do this at
night and by morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to it's natural
color and looks glossy, soft and abun-

wan, Weary
and Worn Out
If You Feel Rugged to a Fin
ish and Utterly Used Up
Here is Quick Relief.
Don't Be Chained to the Hitching
Post of Wearyland.

Half the people you meet complain OF
weary muscles, stagnant brain, tangled
nerves, and a mournful desire to lay
down and just quit. Most of these people
have been using nervines that spasmod-
ically flare up the nerves only to die
down again. as die they must. Avoid
nerve stimulants. Bear in mind that this
worn out feeling is due to poor blood,
to bacteria in the water you drink; to
the multiplying of destructive germs in
the blood faster than they can be over
come by the white corpuscles; and to
what is known as auto-toXema, that con-
dition where the venous or impure blood
accumulates faster than 1t can be re-
placed by the red arterial blood.
If you feel played out go to any drug
store and ask for q bottle of S. S. S.,
Swift's Sure Specific. Here is a remedy
that gets at work in a twinlling; it just
naturally rushes right into your blood,
scatters germs right and left, up and
down and sideways.
You feel better at once, not from a
stimulant, not from the action of drugs,
but from the rational effect of a natural
medicine Just as active and just as time
ly as to a man who has been lost in the
mountains, is about starved and comes
across a settler just cooking savory
meal of good honest beef. Do not neglect
to get a bottle of S. S. S, to-day. 1t will
