THE DRINKING OF WATER.
CBy VI. c. Lucas, NJ. d.

'i'N W N.s lshNlos W. ~
The general conclusions of the
latest medical scientists proves that
J drinking of plenty of pure water both
between meals and with ones meals
is beneficial to health. 1t has also
been proven by means of the X-rays
and actual tests upon many healthy
young men that the drinking of water
with meals is not harmful to digestion
Those suffering from a catarrhal CON
dition of the stomach will find bene-
fit in adding about 10 grains lone
sixth of a level teaspoonfuD of baking
soda to a pint of hot water, drinking
it a half hour before each meal Such
as are inclined to hyper.acidty should
drink a pint of medium cold water,
two hours after meals. II you ever
suffer from headache, lumbago, rheu-
matism or any of the symptoms of
kidney trouble-such as deep colored
urine, sediment in urine, getting out
of bed at night frequently and other
troublesome effects take pint of
hot water and little Anuric before
meals These Anuric tablets can be
obtained at almost any drug store
and were first discovered by DR..
Pierce.
American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney
trouble. because we eat too much and
all our food is rich. our blood is
filled with uric acid which the kid
neys strive to filter out, they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish; the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble. bladder weakness
and often the poison reaches the is.

Motor Fuels,

Among the cheaper motor fuels that
have been used abroad with consid-
cradle satisfaction is benzol, a coal
tar distillation product, which before
the war could be bought at a lower
price than gasoline. VI this country
benzol has never been produced in
very considerable quantities as there
was no great demand for it by dye
manufacturers, who are the principal
consumers. II is to be hoped that the
dye manufacture will be so firmly es-
tablished in this country, and on a
sufficiently large scale, to induce gas
and coke producers To recover the
benzol resulting from their processes,
which heretofore has been largely
wasted, when there may be a surplus
sufficient to materially increase our
supplies Of motor fuels; for benzol
can be used with most carbureters
with little or no change, by proper
adjustment.
NuututI lutl VI WHICH We near very
little is a mixture Of kerosene and
gasoline. OF course the producers OF
gasoline have gone as far as they
dare in such combinations, at the
price they exact but something more
can be done by the user in this direc-
tion TO reduce his expenses. Little
has been heard Of this matter in the
automobile field. but motorcyclists
abroad have made rather extensive
experiments. with the results that
they find that a half a half mixture
can be successfully .-ed with their
ordinary carburetor. no difficulty be
ing experienced in starting with this
mixture.
Special adjustment OF the air IS
necessary. and in some carburetors it
might be desirable TO also fit a small
er jet; but no material change is nee
essary in the average carburetor. A
greater percentage or kerosene ap-
pears 10 be OF no material advantage
and starting becomes difficult

HAVE DARK HAIR
ANDL0OK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair.
With Sage Tea.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage and Sulphur,
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was ap-
piled with wonderful effect. By ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get a large bottle of this old.time
recipe, ready to use, for about 80
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and is
splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A ,well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied-it's so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a comb or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. BY
morning the gray disappears: after
another application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant

Nobility OF Labor.

1t is the mission of the United States
to ennoble toll and honor the toiler.
In other lands to labor has been con-
sidered the lot of serfs and peasants;
to gather the fruits and consume them
in luxury and war, the business of the
great. Since the medieval times Eu-
ropean society has been organized on
the basis of nobility and people.
Thus has beou set on human
industry and stigma of perpetual dis
grace. Something of this has been
transmitted to the new civilization in
the West-a certain disposition to re-
new the old order Of lord and laborer.
Let the odious distinction perish; the
true lord Is the labOrer and the true
laborer the lord.-JOhn Clark Ridpath.

Lauqh Is Effective Weapon.

An optimist, n woman who has the
best of reasons to regard fate unkind-
ly, has found laugh the best weapon
with which to meet calamity. She
laughs when bit Of china, dear to her
heart, comes TO grief, and can even
achieve something like laugh when
she learns of the treachery of friend.
Her optimism is the sole hold she has
on life, for unusual nerve strain would
shorten her life IL it did not result in
immediate death. The difficulty OF
achieving philosophy under better con-
ditiOns is beyond some of US, and here
is a woman who has had the courage
to laugh in the face of circumstances
that might well leave her sore and
bitter.-Exchange.
