Little Puffer Escapes From Danger by
Initiating Itself Until It Is A.,
most Spherical in Shape.

1t is doubtless true that there are
no mermaids in the sea and no Nep-
tune with crown and flowing locks,
but the species Of life that do exist
there are in many ways equally as
interesting as the NEUROLOGICAL folk,
Take the little puffer fish, for ex-
ample, which has attracted the at
tention Of scientists from earliest
times on account of it's shrewd habit
Of defending itself by imitation. The
moment it scents danger in the form
Of large fish searching for dinner
1t instantly distends itself with water
until it becomes almost spherical in
shape, SO that no ordinary fish could
swallow it, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
Director II. G. Townsend of the
New York aquarium, placed few
good-sized soup or porgies in q tank
which contained q dozen young puff
fers about two inches in length, which
the hungry soup attacked at once. In
stantly the baby buffers inflated them
selves and became almost globular in
form, so that the larger fish were un-
able to do more than knock them
about like toy balloons, too large to
be swallowed, and on which they
could get no hold, no matter how hard
they tried.

Takes Photographs by Magnetism.

A school superintendent in Texas
has made some interesting investiga-
tons into the nature of the force that
a magnet exerts when It pulls on iron
and steel. Proceeding on the theory
that this force is analogous to the
waves of light and the waves Of the
X-ray, he attempted to take photo
graphs by means of it and got some
encouraging results. BY shutting up
a magnet under a Photographic plate,
which rested upon several small OBJ
jects, in a perfectly dark chamber, for
a period of several days, he obtained
photographs of the objects upon the
plate. If further research should show
that this effect was due solely to the
magnet the experiment might cast con-
siderable light on the problems Of
magnetism.

LADIES'! LOOK YOUNG,
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old-time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
will Know.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's ap-
pearance hundred fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store 5O-cent bottle Of
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten q
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at, time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and il
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or pre-.
vention Of disease.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy OF
have bladder troub1e-Take
glass Of Salt&

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, Gays a well-knowr
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
e1cites the kidneys. they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
Kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
. sensation of ecalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys; also to nes1tralize the acids
In urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive 8nd cannot

Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
Kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney

STUFF LIFT OUT
YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
Calluses off with Fingers

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
Of pain or soreness
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound Of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at and drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but a
trife, but is sufficient to rid one s
feet Of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surrounding
skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don It
have freezone have him order it fol
