poses, furnishes milk to drink. The
fruit is also used for shortening, for
we use it to make cOcOnut butter The
process of favoring is achieved by
drawing the water off from the nut and
then chopping the meat into small
pieces. This is moistened with water
and put in cloth and the cloth twist
ed. The milk or fluid is forced through
the mesh of the fabric and kept for
use as an extract. The oil of the COCO
nut is used for frying. The green
beans on the island are very valuable.
They grow almost all the year around
and are as tender as French peas.

hope to take back to the women is the
knowledge of how to make soap. Their
laundering facilities are very limited.
About all they have to do it with is wa

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
IF Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens
so Naturally Nobody
can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and attractive with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When.
ever her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this old-time recipe,
improved by the addition of other ingred
tents, all ready to use, for about so cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound now because it darkens
so naturally 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 time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application or two. it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft and
beautiful. This preparation is a delight
full toilet requisite. It is not intended fol-
the cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.

DRINK HOT WATER
E YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMlPlLlEXlOlN
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vlOus days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind GER
tain amount of fncombustible material
in the form of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ALI
mentary organs a certain amount Of
1ndigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are In
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
II you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom In your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, glass of hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which Is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Men and women with sallOw skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured Of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purif1es and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE IS SKIN
WHITENER
How to Make a Creamy Beautiful Lo-
ton for a Few Cents

The juice OF two fresh lemons strain
ed into bottle containing three ounces
Of orchard white makes a whole quar-
ter pint Of the most remarkable lem
on skin beautifer at about the cost one
must pay for small jar of the ordin-
airy cold creams. Care should be ia
ken to strain the lemon juice through
fine cloth SO no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that le-
mon juice is used to bleach and remove
such blenlishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifer.
Just try it! Get three ounces of or
chard white at any drug store and two
lemons from the grocer and make up

lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck and arms.

poration, such as I find SO popular in
America. 1t is for all the people, as are
individuals. What one person needs

CATION being restitution as soon as pos

to take, for the ruling thought of the
people is to give and they seek out the
wants of others rather than await a
demand.
"a stranger visiting the island would
fnd every house open to him. When
he left such a thing as payment would

"Of course it seems impossible to be-
lieve that an island supplies all the
necessities Of life without work, but
that is almost true of Pitcairn. The
fruits and vegetables grow almost
without cultivation. Goats run wild

kill Guns and ammunition are sup
piled yearly by the English cruiser
which arrives from Tahiti. A few
trading vessels bring modern clothing
for which arras root is exchanged. No
style in clothing is known, the women
wearing loose gowns from the Shout
ders to the feet and the men ordinary
clothing as known in this country.
They are worn until their uselessness
is apparent.
Courts and jails are unknown in
situations. My father governs over
the people as father over all. Dane
ing on the island is unknown. The
manner of dancing as countenanced in
America would not only shock the
sensibilities of Pitcairn islanders but
those of the Fiji group. American
dances would not be permitted in Pit
cairn, where modesty is innate. Edu-

sought admittance on the island for
years. All children attend school until

b mere speck away out there in the
south Pacific, Pitcairn island, that even
few navigators know, because it is out
lOf the regular line of trade. Public at
tention was drawn to it recently by
the presence in this country of Miss
Emily Mccoy, known as the princess
of Pitcairn"
She isn't princess in the ordinary
acceptance of the term; she's the
daughter Of J. r. Mccoy, president of
pitcairn island. So little strife accom-

that the presidency, though nOminally
elective, is really hereditary. Custom

inherit the office. They call Mr.. Nc

daughter, it is only natural that Emily

that she should be next in line for the
regal honOrs.

A glamour of romance hangs about
the island and it's people from the fact
that it was originally settled in 1870 by
the mutineers of the English ship
Bounty, consisting Of Fletcher Chris
titan, the leader of the mutiny, eight
Englishmen, six Polynesian men and II
Polynesian women. 1t was not until
1903 that the outside world heard Of
the remarkable colony there.
