Extinction % IN. Buffalo.

Speaking OF the extinction OF the

geological park said;
1T Is by no means true that the ex-
termination OF the buffalo ia due most

lngs on their feeding grounds rather
than 20 their wholesale slaughter. The

mate industries OF man played no part
whatever in the determination OF the
bison. either west or east. The slaugh-
ter was systematic and deliberate and

this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome

the addition of other ingredients for

Iossibly tell that you darkened your
fair, as it does it so naturally and ey-
enly. You dampen a sponge or soft
mrush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another applica-
ton or two, your hair becomes beauti-

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day

Drink a glass Of real hotIwater
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat we'll, digest WELL work
well, sleep well, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is, if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
| by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water, with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sWeetening and purifying
the entire ailmentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one n
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex>
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism:
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone pro.
nCunced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.

THE AUGUSTA FIRE.

The entire state and nation joins
in sympathy for Augusta. An enor-
nous loss was suffered through the
ravaging fire which swept the city.
The newspaper fraternity especially
grieves for the loss of the two modern
plants of the Augusta newspapers. The
Chronicle had recently occupied their
handsome skyscraper, which was the
pride of all the city. For over a CEN
fury this staid old Southern newspaper
has survived every form of destruc-
ton, and the dispatches tod how the
Chronicle was issued early Thursday
morning despite it's plant had been de
stroyed only few hours before.
The plant of the Herald was a to-
tai loss, and likewise the afternoon pa
per was issued-never missing a num-
Der in the volumes which grind out
their ages.
There is no doubt that carelessness
was the cause of the terrible cont1a
grafton. Augusta paid a fearful price
for the thoughtlessness of some per
son. There is a lesson in this great
fire. as in all things. Be careful. Clean
up. Safeguard your life and your
property.
