Reptiles Are shortsiehted.

According to naturalist, serpents. in
spite of their reputation for alertness.
are very shortsighted. Some of them
cannot see mere than a yard or two in
front of them. Other reptiles are sirni.
larly deficient in sense of vision, and
the authority asserts that a crocodile
cannot see a man ut 4 greater distance
than six times its own length. In re.
speet of hearing, many reptiles are
even more deficient than in sight
Some serpents are deaf, the boa. it is
said. being unable to hear any sound.
The term deaf adder" consequently
expresses fact. In one respect some
reptiles show singular acutcness. They
have an unerring instinct for water
and in dry weather will travel straight
to it. even when they are at such long
distances that the mystery is how they
could possibly become. aware of its
locality

GIRLS-DO YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
is UGLY?

Many women do not realize the nee
essity OF keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order TO look their
best And yet. with only few min
utes of tonic massage, the hair. may
be brought to beautiful, thick lus-
trons luxuriance, and that at very lit
tie cost.
Just try these few simple directions
today: Into the palm of the hand
pour q little Partisan Sage, rigidly
guaranteed, inexpensive and most
beneficial preparation to be had at
any drug store; thoroughly wet the
hair near the scalp with it and then
rub vigorously until soft tingling
sensation comes stealing over the
head. Do this regularly for a few
days and you will surely be surprised
and delighted with the results.
The genuine Partisan Sage is OBJ
tainable from VIM. L. Gokay, who al.
ways sells it with an absolute guar.
