circumference. In the matter most

afternoon Prof Pibbles harnessed old

started off, all going we'll till they
reached Higgins corner and the pro-

had forgotten TO take the beans. So
they returned and got them and started
again, and this time the bucIyboa~i
reached town without a stop. The first
person Prof Pibbles saw was his old
friend Moe GlugEins. the tiddlywink

after his wife

ASK her. she's in the back Of the

Gluggins peered in. but the wagon was
empty except for the SALISBURY beans.
Nobody in there" said Gluggins.
Prof Pibhles looked and then his
face broke into broad. understau ding

That accounts for that splash about

itch, or money back
Partisan sage contains just the ele-
ments needed TO properly inyigorate
and nourish the hair roots. It's a
prime favorite with discriminating
ladies because II makes the hair soft,
bright. and appear twio- as abundant.
It is antiseptic, killing the odors that
