WANTS TO KNOW-THTNCS THAT INTEREST
If You Feel "Nervy"

No one can help feeling 80 at times in
this age OF rush and racket, but It IL quito
possible to put on tho brake, as II were,
and not let the nerves run away with us.
Here are few wise hints on the sub
ject:
II people fret you, It is. not necessary
to be rude to them. Try, instead, to avoid
them.
Don't read books that irritate you.
Books are plentiful, therefore put away
the offending volume and choose another.
II a noise at night worries you, don't
let It continue to do SO. Get UP and see
to the matter, and put It right.
Don't let yourself get into the habit of
being bored. 1t is not worth while. When
you feel It coming on, plunge at once into
some task that will take all your time
and energy.
1t is better TO run away from certain
things than let them irritate you. Such
martyrdom is usually unnecessary, and
bad for you all round.

Milady's Toilet Table
Augusta: Venerable.

The great majority OF cases of falling
hair and premature badness are due to a
chronic scurfy condition of the scalp. The
first step then. toward eliminating this is
to try to get rid of dandrufr. The follow
ing sulphur cream is good for this pur-
pose:
Whlle Wa1.''''''' drachms
Oll or petrolatum.. m.........-..........5 ounces
rose Water...... ........,....--........2Ih ounces
Soulum orate..................3 .36 gramnes
sulphur precipitate.. drachms
This cream should be rubbed well into
the scalp every night and morning. For
three nights running the hair should be
parted in several places and the cream
applied to the scalp Then wash the hair
on the fourth day afterward applying the
cream. Then use the cream only on alter
nate days. After this the intervals NAV
be longer still. say twice or three times
week, washing the hair every two
weeks.
The frequent washngs of the hair will
temporarily lead to its falling out more.
Ihis will not last, so don't be alarmed.
1t Is natures method of getting rid of the
useless hairs, and with good care new
ones Will take their places.

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note results
Here is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself
Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't a Question of
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. The scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story, and most any thin man or woman
can easily add from five TO eight pounds
in the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten. into rich. ripe fat produc-
ing nouriShment for the tissues and
blood-pre pares il in an easily assim-
lated form which the blood can readily
accept. All this nourishment now passes
from your body as waste But Sargol
stops the waste and does ii quickly and
makes the fat producing contents OF
the very same meals you are eating now
develop pounds and pounds of healthy
flesh between your skin and bones Sar-
gol is safe, pleasant efficient and mex
pensive. Jacobs Pharmacy and other
leading druggists in Atlanta and vicin-
ity sell it in large boXes-forty tablets
