HEADACHE and NEURAL GA

Hoyt's Headache and Neuralgia Cologne
now heads the list as successful remedy
for the relief of headache, nervousness, In
somnia, car sickness, etc.
The dangerous tablet has had its day.
Hoyt's Headache and Neuralgia Cologne
is a harmless, refreshing, fragrant prepa-
ration, marvellous in its action, reliev-
ing nervousness, sleeplessness, exhaustion
and all head and nerve ailments by ex-
ternal use and inhaling. 1t is not nerve
food, but a nerve soother. By giving the
nerves rest they furnish their own food
and tone, and all nerve pains disappear.
For children's colds and catarrh it is
just the remedy, harmless and efficient and
so pleasant to use. For men a pleasant
remedy to relieve and clear the head .'the
morning after the night before" This is
not an expensive preparation at 80 cents a
bottle, because it brings the relief. 1t has
many imitators at less price, but If they
DO not bring the desired results they are
not cheap at any price.
Get Hoyt's and you will be satisfied.

sending generous contributions OF
money through LIE Figaro of Paris

For some time no more money was
forthcoming, but few days ago the
Figaro received this letter from her:
my savings are all gone, and l am
grieved to the heart at not being able
to help our beloved soldiers any more,
especially our aviators. l wish above
all things that the airmen should be
warmly and comfortably clothed. But,
in spite of everything, l have managed
to do little more for them. Please
excuse met is such little Bit"
Inclosed with the letter was the
French woman's check for $4,000.

In Mexico a typical pottery village
lies on wooded mountain side not
far from Cuernavaca, the capital OF
the state of Morelos, over the range
that divides the valley of Mexico from
the Pacific slope.
It is one of the most interesting and
most accessible from the capital and

winding street, where never a wheel
turns except to carry curious visitor
is like stepping backward into the past
centuries.
Every humble home has it's primitive
potter's wheel and every yard it's crude

thing but make pottery; there is nc
other industry of interest. A common
scene is a man putting the finishing
touches to a brasero, the small char
coal stove used by all the peon popula
ton of Mexico.
It rests on top of a huge jar, or OLA
in which they carry and keep water
from the springs and streams. The
women often make parillas, the earth
en- gridirons on which tortillas are
baked.
The decorated vases are compare

free. But she loved him; let him re-
member that every day of his life.
At the end of the first year Jim re
membered it occasionally. He was
tending bar in one of the island sa

he had a hazy recollection. Then he
was doing odd jobs. in his sober mo-

that he had come upon business con
