A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
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 a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.

The height, girth and weight of the
Chedder cheese which is brought into
the rooms at Simpsons, Cheapside.

time were correctly guessed recently
by one of the diners.
The feat has only been accomplish
ed nine times in 20 years. The cheese
is brought in on a foot-high revolving
pedestal and placed in front of the
chairman. Each guest is supplied
a slip of paper on which to record his
quesses, and whenever anyone sue

Artists $4,000 Years AGO.

Man began to be an artist subse
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 years ago." said Prof. George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
"At least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a maker
of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts
THE cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, but
climatic, faunal and other environ
ment played no important part in the
origin of troglodite art. The models
were game animals, and ran largely
to profiles, for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, but
was long in acquiring composition. ."

Pessinist.

She was very trim and neat in her
black dress and little white bib and
apron, ard every day, year in and
year out, she patiently handed fussy
woman toilet accessories, helped them
adjust wells and answered numerous
questions.
The woman who understood
watched her as she went serenely
about her work and wondered if she
never grew defiant at the sight OF SO
much luxury.
Aren't these women rather trying
she finally asked confidentially.
"Oh, no. They're most always very
polite and nice. once in a while we
come across one who is sDipDy and
won't let US help her, but it does not
make much difference. anyway; it
isn't worth while to get mad, cause
the ladies are always nice and the
others don't count, and you get such
a Tot Of fun out of watching them all.
The actresses that come in here say
such funny things sometimes, much
funnier than they do in the plays

on to rest a moment in a little wait
ing room of the big hotel. and as she
sat there musing over the girl who
was too fine to be euvious she no
ticed another trim little maid sitting
quietly H. a dark corner.
She was very pretty and the woman
who understood wondered if she was
as sweet and unsuphisticated as she
looked
You must see some interesting

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.
Il used to be great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time.
MY friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. 1 would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation l concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as 1 am seventy years of age all
my friends think the Improvement

SIeepinu Places of Perch.

The North American perch remains
at night midway between the bot
tom and the surface of the water. per
pendicular to the plants among which
it lives. The dark bands on it's body
makes it very difficult for it's enemies
to distinguish the fish from the stems
of the plants. The diamond perch, how
ever, passes the night lying on the
bottom, in the shadow of a plant or a
stone. On account OF its light marking
it does not stir from the bottom all
night. With the exception of gentle
breathing neither OF these species
makes any notable movement. If there
is any disturbance, such as the slight
shaking of the tank, both kinds of
perch show that they are awake and
ready for flight by moving the for
ward fins. If the shaking is severe
these fish dart around rapidly. Three
small species of carp found in Vene-
zuela like to lie upon the broad leaves
of the water plants. but do not sleep
very soundiy.
