His Frame of Mind.

The horse had run away and was tangled up in the wire fence at the side of the muddy road. Its half-wit- ted owner had kicked and sworn and tried to lift the animal until he was out of sorts and covered with mud.
 A well-groomed man came along, took in the situation. and suggested; Spring the fence back, then he can get his feet free"
 The owner of the horse did as he was told. Now give him a cut with the whip and he'll get up himself"
 This the owner did. Then he looked at the horse. up and ready for travel, looked at himself covered with mud and looked at the immaculate gentle man in the road. Wrath filled his soul

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi. ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath-always trace them to torpid liver; delayed. fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con- :gestion and that dull. throbbing, sick eniEg headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear. stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle Tobe Lived Up to His Reputa- ton and the Doctor Lost
 His Bet

There lives in a certain Vermont town a quaint old character known as Uncle Tobe," who is so conserva- tive of action and speech that it Is most difficult at times to get any thing definite from him. Uncle Tobe, like the Father of His Country, has the reputation of never having told lie, and in addition he is so cautious of statement that he has never been known to tell an innocent untruth.
 On one occasion his doctor, in con- versation with friends touching Uncle Tobes characteristics, ventured to lay a bet of five dollars that he could cause Uncle Tobe to tell what wasn't so. A neighbor promptly took the bet.
 The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's house next morning, and while he was talking with the old man, the neighbor who had taken the bet drove up to the gate. Uncle Tobe went to see what he wanted, and then the doctor, as he had agreed to do, went out the back door and hid in the barn.
 Good morning, Tobe," said the vis- itor. lis the doctor in your house?"
 He was there when I came out" said Uncle Tobe.

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
 KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Cio9s the Kidneys and
 Irritates the Bladder.

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels. get sluggish and clog gsd and need flushing occasionally. else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe head. aches. rheumatic twinges, torpid liver. acid stomach. sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here. take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days end your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com 'bined with lithia. and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad. der disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kid. neys clean, thus avoiding serious com plications.
 A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who be- lieve in overcoming kidney trouble while 1t Is only trouble.-Adv.

Stranqe Scorpion Found.

A curious, strange specimen of liz ard or scorpion was captured by Wal ter I. Todd near the trolles station of the Chambersburg, Greencastle & Waynesboro Street Railway company at Highfield, Pa. The reptile, or what not, was about eight inches in length and the color of brick dust. It was found lying on the ground only few feet from the station and, on account of the rain and cool weather. was un- able to use its locomotive powers very actively and was easily captured
 The reptile had an elongated body without scales, four short legs and short tail, and its body was almost as tough as rubber. Where it came from no one seems to know.

Ammunition Used In War.

How much ammunition does a mod ern army use? We shall not know until after the war what the German and the allied forces have been ex- pending; but we know what the Ger mans used in 1S70-71. The total for rifles was 30.O00,00O cartridges, for field artillery 362,0O0 rounds. It is worth noting that battles are much less costly in ammunition than sieges. The siege of Strassburg alone cost, weight for weight. three times the amount of ammunition used in all the decisive battles and actions through out the whole war Of course these figures are mere bagatelle com pared with those of the present strug- gle, with its millions of soldiers and its Quick-firing guns and its week-long battles.-Manchester Guardian.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
 TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
 Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get large bottle of the famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at time. by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two. your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy Adv.
