1t sounds queer to take blood bath
but that is precisely the effect of a
most remarkable remedy known as
s. S. S. 1t has the peculiar action of
soaking through the intestines directly
into the blood. In five minutes its in
fluence is at work in every artery,
vein and tiny capillary. Every mem
brane, every organ of the body, every
emunctory becomes in effect a filter to
strain the blood of impurities. The
stimulating properties of S. S. S. COM
pei the skin, liver bowels, kidneys,
bladder to all work to the one end of
casting out every irritating, every
pain-inflicting atom of poison it dis
lodges by irrigation all accumulations
in the joints, causes acid accretions to
dissolve, renders them neutral and
scatters those peculiar formations in
the nerve centers that cause such
mystifying and often battling rheu-
matte pains.
And best of all. this remarkable
remedy is welcome to the weakest
stomach. If you have drugged your
self until your stomach is nearly para
1yzed, you will be astonished to find
that S. S. S. gives no sensation but
goes right to work. This is because
it is a pure vegetable infusion, is
taken naturally into your blood just
as pure air is inhaled naturally into
your lungs
You can get S. S. S. at any drug
store at $1.00 bottle. 1t is standard
remedy, recognized everywhere as the
greatest blood antidote ever discov-
cred. If yours is a peculiar case and
you desire expert advice, write to The

WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Remarkably ingenious Are PIaythinss
Provided for the Children of
the Orient.

Europe and America turn out, for
the edification of their children, many
ingenious toys, but the Occidental
youngsters have nothing to compare
with the strange expanding water-toys
with which the children Of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves.
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
20 often seen in our own country.
They have the appearance OF soiled
shavings, broken matches and dilapi-
Gated toothpicks, but when thrown
into the water the ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably more than
mere bits of stick. The wood OF these
.ore has been Kindred, and imme-
diatel, it touches the water 1t begins
to absorb the water and to expand
almost indefinitely. AS 1t increases
in size 1t separates and suddenly
opens, becoming a very pretty toy
One stick will change into flower
pot containing, it may be, rose bush
In full bloom. Another becomes an
obese mandarin carrying an umbrel-
la. Still another will take the form
Of sea serpent, very ferocious in Its
tiny dimensions. Then, too, there are
toys which show as whales, tigers,
crocodiles, etc. The figures are col
pred and present bewildering va
riety in design and treatement. Their
manufacture is a trade secret, kept
lnviolate by the guild that turns them
out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid-
cd larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting Of historical charac-
ters-rulers, poets and soldiers--and
dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full of in
mates. are also among this class. The
more ordinary kind cost mere song,
but the finer toys are quite expensive.

NOT EASY TO SEE ICEBERGS
Deadly Menaces to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.

Among laymen there is genuine sur
prise that on clear night-dark
though 1t was-a great ship could pillow
into the heart of an iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the nau-
teal mind it is entirely plausible.
At about twenty-five knots Of speed,
he Titanic was covered nearly stat
ute mile and one third every three
minutes, and 1t takes time for ship
300 feet in length and drawing nearly
forty feet Of water to Swing" on it's
course line. It takes time to stop 50,-
900 tons Of dead weight when moving
at that rate Of speed.
In DR. ytime, even, unless the sun Is
shining brightly against its sides, a
berg is not the glazing sheetlike thing
that many seem to think It IL. On q
cloudy day they show distinctly gray
and dark, while on a moonless, cloudy
night they only. at the best, will show
ls blackness. more pronounced, against
that other blackened screen where
murky cloud and murky waters meet.
The newest, whitest, snowiest sails
that ever drove a racing yacht to VIC

against a somber midnight sky. In
other words, they are invisible short

sage TEA BEAUTIFULLY DARKENS
The HAIR when FADED and GRAY

Some druggists make their own,
which is usually too sticky, so insist
upon getting "Wyeth's" which can be
depended upon to restore natural col
or and beauty to the hair and is splen-
did for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A wellknown 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 1t has been ap-
plied-it's so easy to use too. You
simply dampen 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 its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and abun-
dant. For sale by The Owl Drug
Store.

Mixed With Sulphur Makes Hair Soft,
Lustrous And Cures
Dandruff.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmother
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 brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays skilled chem
SITS do this better than ourselves. BY
asking at any drug store for the ready
to-use product--called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy"-you will
get large bottle for about 50 cents

Turkish Peace Commission
ers Reported To Have
Been Called

London. Jan 81. The Turkish
government to-day sent orders to the
Ottoman peace plenipotentiaries to leave
London at once for the Turkish capital,
according to news agency dispatches
from Constantinople. The overwhelm-
ing strength of public opinion through
out Europe in favor of peace in the Bal
kans is exercising a profound influence
on the delegates in London of the allied
Balkan states. 1t is expected that the
European ambassadors here will make
themselves the mouthpiece of this wide
spread sentiment to convince the more
spirits among the represen.
tatives OF the allies.
European diplomats take the view
that Turkey, especially since the revo-
lutionary movement, could not offer
more than what was contained in yes
terday's reply to the European powers.
This they think at least justifies the re-
of peace negotiations.

PESSIMISM IN GERMANY.
Regarding the Balkan War Situation,
But Germany Is Doing Her Best.

Berlin, Jan. 3l.--Great pessimism re-
garding the Balkan situation is displayed
in official circles here, owing to Bull
garia's uncompromising attitude. Ger
many, in conjunction with other pow
ers, is doing her best to persuade Bull
garia and Turkey to attempt to reach
a compromise, but a resumption of hos
tilities Monday is regarded as highly
probable. The situation causes concern
to the German foreign office, which fears
that if war is resumed Bulgaria may
push matters beyond her own inter
