THE FEMININE SLOUGH.

A correspondent of the New York Times writes
as follows
Can you can anyone, say, seriously, why
girls in addressing person stand with the lower
part of the body swung outward, why they stand on
an ankle bone why they stoOp the shoulders and
crane their necks over hollow chests?
within the memory of woman the dancing mas.

the body on the ball of the foot essential
marks of a lady'S bearing The basis and keynote
of this training were sef-respect and respect for
others Forces of life were centered to be let loose
in gayety and grace, with regard for address and
distinction; and, consequently, having principle
to lean upon, girls were individual in manner, at
titude, and movement They were not cut off by
the yard
''The SLOUGH adopted in the kitchen, shop and

insulting What does it mean?"

BASEBALL A CHARACTER TEST.

There could be cited no better definition of the
difference between the English and American char
acter than the opinion formed by Great Britain Of
our national game-baseball The concensus of
British criticism is that England would like the
game better if the batters would make more hits.
Even the King declared the sport scientific and
wonderfully graceful and he marveled at the high
physical development of the players.
But two runs in one hour proved too dull for the
British spectators and their interest in the game
occasionally tagged This means that an English
man enjoys game for the sport that is in it while
the American is concerned only in the victory. If
the contestants are inhibited by the skill of one
another from making hit a run, England fails
to see any sport in the play and deems the game
but monotonous exercise.
Again, the Britishers hooted at the policy of
having coacher, claiming that it was no test at
skill when its execution was foiled by the harassny
work of an opponent This is in accord with the
Englishman's proverbial love for fair play.
He fails to see how a man can display the
best that is in him when the opportunity for so do
ing is trammeed by moleStatOn. He deems that if
game is devised for the exploitation of that which
is the best in the player it is poor sport to hamper
and suppress it.
In other words John Bull cares but little for
victory which has not been acquired by full ex-
ercise of all powers essential for its accomplish.
ment it is the sport, not the winning, that he Q"

THE THING TO DO.

to increase the productivity of agriculture thus

Well, we are increasing the production all right,

and twice as much as in 1899
And still the cost of living rose

COMB SAGE TEA IN
uFELESS, GRAY HAIR
Look young! Common garden Sage
and Sulphur darkens so naturally
nobody can tell

Grandmother 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 won
derful 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 Sui
phur, because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another appli-
cation or two, it is restored to it's natural
color and looks. glossy, soft and album
dant.
