attitude taken by the business men, it
simply proved they did not go very deep
into the possibilities that could arise il
the deal went through. One of the men
didn't seem to think that an entire ball

Johnson and Street would have under

100000 thus the club would have prof

Judge before whom a pickpocket is

Science has discovered a hitherto
unsupported, or at least unrevealed,
cause of fatness. IT is the chair. The
ancient and widespread Occidental
custom OF sitting on chairs induces
dyspepsia and obesity and impairs
the circulation. The cure is TO sit on
the floor. This is the announcement
of certain doctor of medicine before
the Harvard Medical School the other
day, as reported in Boston dispatches.
IF lifting $50 more or less pounds
from the floor every time you want
to move isn't exercise enough to cure
what ails you, your case is hopeless"
he said. Sitting on the floor will
prevent following of the back, round
ness of the shoulders and lateral
curvature of the spine II started early
enough. Have your children do it
anyhow" We are sure some people
will like this advice. LaZiness usually
goes with fairness, although whether
fairness causes laZiness or laziness
causes fairness has not yet been ac-
curately determined. But heretofore
fat men have been told to go out or
doors and exercise on their feet II
they want to control corporations ex-
banding in insolent defiance of the
anti-fat laws. Will they fail to fore
go SO painful and irksome a cure
when they have this new method OF
being made we'll while they sit? We
are sure they will not, but on the
contrary will sink to the floor with
a sigh of content and blessing on
the head of the man who has given
them this new excuse for staying at

HAVE DARK HAIR

Nobody can Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened. glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for
dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling
hair.
a well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur. because it darlens SO
naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied-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 q.
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; after another application or
two, IT is restored to its natural color
and looks glossy, soft and abundant.
