CHARACTER FROM THE EYE
Those Who VIII Take the Trouble to
Observe May Tell Much About
Their Associates.

Beware of the shifting, faltering
eyes that always look away from you.
Small eyes usually mean an alert
mind.
, If they look straight at you, steady
and bright, like squirrels, you may
expect the right sort of cleverness. a
quick tongue and gift for repartee.
But If the small eyes are more dim
and do not look straight into yours.
you may look for the wrong kind Of
cleverness, for little dishonesties and
equivocations, and for business
sharpness that is willing to sacrifice
too much for a little money.
Large, Tranquil" "cowlike' eyes, on
the ether hand, are less responsive
than the alert, bright little beady eyes;
but. once stir them to their depths, aud
they will look infinitely more intense
and meaningful than the more ir-
pulsive eyes.
Round, protruding eyes show an am
bilious nature and love Of action.
The longer eyes show more the tenn
permanent OF the dreamer.
The most beautiful eyes in the world
are very clear Chat indicates good
healthy, and are set widely apart and
rather deep. That width Of setting al
ways gives certain expression OF
sweet spirituality.

ALCOHOL AFFECTS ARTERIES.

ALCOHOL AFFECTS ARTERIES.
The statement that "a man Is as

familiar. The normal healthy artery
is endowed with wonderful amount
of elasticity, so that 1t is easily cap
able Of accommodating varying guam
titles Of blood according to the re-
quirements Of the occasion. When the
heart pumps new supply of blood
into the arteries, they Immediately ex-
pand to receive the additional blood,
and then quickly contract again in
order to pass 1t on through the circu-
latory system. Here again we wit
ness the hardening effects of alcohol,
which causes an ever increasing loss
Of elasticity. The arteries become
hard and brittle, and in the case Of
strain are liable to break, and thus
cause hemorrhage, small or large
This condition of the arteries is known
as arteriosclerosis; and If an artery

ually stroke of apoplexy, causing
more or less paralysis of one side of
the body. The escaping blood forms

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with 1t to
Restore Color, Gloss,
Y0uthfuIneSs.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton IL your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way Is to get
60-cent bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we ali desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because 1t does It so
naturally, SO evenly. You Just dampen
q sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and. after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
