to see her. Her new mother told them
that Arabella was very old and that
her mother played with her when she
was a little girl. But Arabella laughed
to herself. She did not feel old, and
she knew If her mother gave her
good care she would always look
young and feel young.
There came a day, however, when
her new mother became tired Of her,
and she was left all day without be-
ing dressed. and sometimes she would
have to lie IN bed for days at g

times she would be left in her car.

sit, staring into the darkness. and
she would wish her new mother would
put her to bed so she could close her
eyes.
One night Arabella was left in her

Then the dog licked her cheek and

still and looked straight ahead, and
the dog walked away.
Arabella was glad when the day.
light came, but the sun came also,
and her new mother did not move her
carriage, for she was busy making
mud pies on the shady side of the
house. By and by the sun crept up
to Arabella's carriage and then to her
feet, and finally all over her.

was very busy with her cooking.
At lunch time the e mother ran
around to the front of the house to
meet her father, and then she saw
Arabella, and such an Arabella you
never saw. Her new mother looked
at her, and ran into the house for
her mother to come quick and see
what had happened to Arabella. Poor
Arabella's face was changed, indeed;
the wax had melted and run down her
cheeks; she looked old and sad.

girl.

She took Arabella out of the car

So Arabella went back TO the soft
cloth and the drawer, where she was
glad to be. for she was tired, and she
closed her eyes for a long sleep.

LADIES DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years youngerl Use Grand mothers recipe Of Sage Tea and
 Sulp hur and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat ural color dates back to grandmoth CTS time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abun. dant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-ofdate. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dand- ruff, dry, feyerish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-mown downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two it becomes beauti- fully dark, glossy, and abundant. 6S2

Appetite Follows
 Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their appetite and the digestive organs are abused, resulting in a conges- ton of poisonous waste that clogs the bowels and causes much mis. cry and distress.
 The most effective remedy to correct this condition is the com bination of simple laxative herbs with bepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is a natural pleasant-tasting remedy, gentle yet positive in action, and quickly re- lieyes indigestion, constipation, sick headache, belching, etc Drug stores sell Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Peusin at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle, and in thousands of homes it is the indispensable family remedy. For a free trial bottle write Dr. W. B Caldwell. 452 Washington st., Mon icello, Ills.
