You Know When Your Partner Signals

No longer do we say TO the young
woman, May | have the next
dance?" We stand in circle around
the ball room, or along one side
while two orchestras alternate in
making the dancing continuous, and
wait for a chance to cut in"
May | cut in?" we ask, as the de-
sired young woman-with partner
perhaps unwilling to lose her-comes
gliding along in her nearly unceas-

In the new arrangement of an
evening, or an afternoon, of dancing
the appearance Of the dance floor is
radically different from that of
few years ago. Then there were
chairs around the sides of the room.
After each dance the couples took
seats, and the intermission was the
time employed by a young man to
ask young woman for future
dance, usually designated by its
number on the dance order. Some
times, as in the fresh water college
towns, all the dances of all tie
young women would be taken"
Their escorts arranged this among
themselves beforehand by the expe-

In the early part Of the dance

line up along one side of the room

DARKEN

Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
ers 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
Cut-of-date Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50-cent bottle
of "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" 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 dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp
and falling hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
it becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and abundant.

GAS IN THE STOMACH
is DANGEROUS
A Warning of Acid Indigestion. Prompt
Use of Magnesia Stops All
Sourness and Pain.

Sufferers from Indigestion or dyspep-
sia should remember that the presence
of gas or wind in the stomach inyari-
ably indicates that the stomach is
troubled by excessive acidity.
This acid causes the food to fer
ment and the fermenting food in turn
gives rise to noXiQus gases which dis
tend the stomach, hamper the normal
functions of vital internal organs,
cause acute headaches, interfere with
the action of the heart, and charge the
blood stream with deadly poisons,
which in time must ruin the health.
Physicians say that to quickly dispel
dangerous accumulation OF wind IN
the stomach and to stop the food fer
mentatiOn which creates the gas, the
acid in the stomach must be neutral
lied and that for this purpose there Is
nothing quite so good as a teaspoontul
of pure bisurated magnesia taken IN
a little water Immediately after meals.
This instantly neutralizes the acld'

formation of gas, and enables the IN
famed. distended stomach to proceed
with its work under natural conditions.
Bisurated magnesia is Obtainable III

Drug So, T. y. Coleman, ReXall, and f.

clans prescribe, should be distinctly
asked for.

Before the Medical Association of
the Southwest, at Oklahoma City, lac..
week, Er. John b. Murphy of Chi
cago, known to scientists throughout
the world, lectured on cancer He
said that cancer was neither conta-
gious or hereditary, and that present
knowledge of this disease offered only
one certain method of saving its
victims. This method was the earliest
possible diagnosis, and an immediate
surgical operation for the complete
removal of the disease tissues. He
said that it was impossible to trans.
NIT cancer from one person to an
other. Cancer cannot be cured by
medical treatment, and so-called can
Ger cures are fakes. DR.. Murphy
said that the public should be edu-
Gated to recognize: First, that the
diagnosis of true cancer is readily
made by competent physicians. Sec
ond, that competent physicians do not
advertise. Third, that the alleged
cancers which the advertising physic-
ian claims to remove and cure, are
not cancers. Fourth, that the early
operation gives assurance of perma-
nent cure in a large percentage of
cases. Fifth, that cancer of the hu-
man body should be looked upon as
fire in combustible material. The
time to eXtinguish this fire is while
it is a small flame The time To
eradicate cancer is when it is not
larger than . bean or pea. Timely
action is life-saving. Procrastination
is a crime against the common
wealth, as life preservation and life
mean greater happiness for
the human race.

Making a Rug "AntIque."

How genuine antique rugs" are

The shopping streets seem like tun-

head with brick to keep out the heat;
thus they run, like subways, up and
down the bazaar quarter Through
those long, sitting, family lighted
tunnels throngs the eternal crowd of
men, mules and camels. Often you
will see a fine rug lying fiat in the
filth of a narrow street, ground be-
meath the tramp of men and beasts;
but there is method in this. Foreign.

RECOGNITION
To MEXICO
FORMAL RECOGNITION EXTEND.
ED BY FIVE NATIONS OTHERS
TO FOLLOW - FLETCHER MAY
BE AMBASSADOR

Washington. Oct 2O.-Formal rec,
ognition by the United States of the
de facto government of Mexico. with
General Nenustiano Carranza as chief
executive, was accomplished at noon
Tuesday by the delivery to General
Carranzas representative Elizio Ar.
redondo, at the Mexican embassy. of
letter from Secretary Lansing. Rec
ognition letters from the Pan-Amer-
lean conferees similar in tone, also
were received by Mr. Arredondo.
The communication from Secretary
Lansing was sent by messenger and
later Mr.. Arredondo was invited to
the state department by the secre-
tary for general conference on MeXi-
can affairs. Wednesday Arredondo
will start for Saltillo, Mex, to meet
General Carranza and present to him
the letters and notes of recognition
of the several governments Of South
and Central America, which arrived
during the day in accordance with
the decision Of the Pan-American con.
ference.
Recognition by other nations than
those represented in the Pan-Ameri.
can conference is expected to follow
soon. Great Britain probably will
be one of the first of these. The
British charge d'affaires at Mexico
City, T. B. Hohler, now is in New
York and is expected here Wednes-
day. He will communicate to the
foreign office the action of the Uni
ted States and British recognition is |
expected through him, the British |
embassy here taking no part in Mex
lean affairs.
Fletcher May Get Place.
Although no final decision has been
reached as to the appointment of an
American ambassador to Mexico. the
most likely choice is Henry p. Fletch-
er, at present ambassador to Chile.
He has had long experience in Latin
american countries and although a
'epublican in politics, he was pro
noted from minister to ambassador
~ President Wilson.
The message in substance said:
The president takes pleasure in
Mr.. Arredondo that the
'nited States will recognize the de
acto government of Mexico of which
General CarranZa is the head and it
S the privilege of the de facto gov
as soon as desired to send
representative to Washington and
SKIS that Mr.. Arredondo communi-
ate this information to General Car
ANA.
The question of an embargo on
var munitions on shipments into
leXico now is under consideration
y the state department. The prob
Bile procedure, it was intimated to- .
ay, would be the adoption of a com
lete embargo, after which permits
'ould be granted for shipments to
he de facto government.
The American Red Cross work may
e renewed at any time. Foreign
laims against Mexico for property
amage and loss of life will come up
