Vera Cruz these enterprising gentle

You would pick up a bill of fare and
notice that the old prices had been
crossed out, and in many places where
they were not thoroughly erased you
would see that you were being charged
double the former rates. The Ameri-
can would spend in Mexican money
the equivalent of a dollar and a half

Much Ado Over Two Eggs.
Another long wait, after which two

He had yet to receive the check. Your

are his mistakes, and when the check
was made out it was for six eggs

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
o TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up 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 .aded, 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 a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 80 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mid
Losofive 70 Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

AS a child grows older II requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
tions of the bowels are of the utmost
importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance. and the
mother should watch the effect Of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
II is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, is DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. This Is a laxative and
tonic combined, 80 mild that It is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign of tendency
to constipation give a small dose OF
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
