that I certainly didn't feel like
singing. was nervous all the
time and my stomach was out of
shape. Indigestion caused me to
be constipated almost continually
and I constantly had that nervous
draggy feeling that so many women
suffer from. My blood was in such
bad condition that the least scratch
wouldn't heel and would just be-
come a running sore. My appetite
was poor and l couldn't sleep at
night. | don't know how to ex-
press myself best, but the least /
can say is that I simply felt miser-
able all the time. l had come to
believe that I'd never be any better.
MRS Spratley, a neighbor begged
me to try Tanlac and she was SC
sure it would help me that l bought
a bottle of the medicine. I've just
finished the second bottle now and
I'm an entirely different woman,
feel hungry all the time now and
can eat anything l care for and
relish it. I'm cheerful and energet.
ic now and much to the surprise
of my children sing at my work
again. My blood has been purified
and the color has returned to my
cheeks. feel'so we'll and cheerful
that it's just like starting life over
again. I'm proud to allow the use
of my name if it will help other
people"

Too Popular.

The Full" signs which are to be
put on the Baltimore street cars re-
call the story told some years ago by
a man Of that city who visited Paris,
but who was acquainted with no
tongue but his own. He related to a
friend how he made a point Of going
to all the points around the city, but
one he never succeeded in getting to.
He was the more determined to 60
because 1t was evidently a very
popular place as every car going
there was loaded to its capacity. But
none would stop for him in spite Of
continued waiting and signaling. "And
so," he concluded, II never got there"
'What was the placer" asked the
friend.
1.-THE sign on the cars was Com.
plet,'" replied the disappointed one
but I've never seen COmplet yet"
And he understood why when his
friend explained. after a somewhat
explosive smile, that "Complet" signi'
fed only that the car was full, and
was not allowed to take on more pas
sengers.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur Il
Darkens SO Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth IS
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents a bottle. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with ii
and draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair disappears
but what delights the ladies with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, IL
that, besides beautifully darkenint
the hair after few applications, i
also produces that soft lustre and ap
pearance of abundance which is 81
attractive. This ready-to-use prepa
ration is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for tn,
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.

GOT IN WRONG EITHER WAY
MIR. Homebody Called Down" When
He Took Notice, and Roasted"
When He Didn't.

"Why are you looking at me like
that?" Mrs. Homebody inquired of her
husband, according to the Brooklyn
Times.
"What have you been doing to your
hair? 1t looks different" said Mr..
Homebody, who had just come in.
His wife put down the book she had

A week later Mrs. Homebody went

regarded herself in the mirror with
justitiable satisfaction. That evening
at dinner, although the soft glow OF
the shaded light pleasantly enhanced
the hairdresser's art, friend husband

First Persian Newspaper.

The first copy of what purports to
be the first Persian newspaper In the
world has just been issued In New
York under the title of the Persian
American Courier" The only cause
for establishment in this connection
is that no such publication has ap-
peared heretofore in the greater city.
Practically every other nationality,
language, and dialect Is represented
by the New York press. inclusive OF
Lettish, Finnish, Plattdeutsch, Slovak
ian, Slovene, Croat, and Arabic. The
editor Of this latest conner says that
he has struggled with the four hun
dred and four small and four hun
dred and four capital letters Of the
Persian alphabet and reduced them tt
the dimensions Of linotype key
board, which finally made his publica
ton possible. Seeing that there are
about six Arabic newspapers in tow
and that the Arabic and Persian al
phabets are closely related, the editor
at any rate, had several models b!
following which his work must hav'
been greatly expedited.-New Yorl
Evening Post.

Hurrah! How's This
Cincinnati authority says corns
dry up and lift out
with fingers.

Ouch ! ? I? This kind OF rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
rights off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle OF
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American won
en- will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration of the higf
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order a small bot
| tie for you.

HANDY FUMIGATING BIN
Simple Form of House Is Easy
of Construction.
Great Care Must Be Used In Arrang.
ing Doors and Windows-Con-
crete Is Favored for Erecting
Permanent Structure.

A simple form of fumigating house
may be made of by spruce, over
which any cheap boarding may be
used, provided it is free from knots
and tongued and grooved so that the
boards may be tightly fitted together.
Shiplap is not desirable. The build
ing is rendered alright by tarred
paper and laths. or better still, by II
lining of rubber roofing. Great care
Is necessary in constructing the door
and windows. These should be at
least three layers of board thick and
should be possible to open the win
dow as well as the door from the out
side so that the building may be quick
ly aired after being used for fumigat
ing purposes.
A more permanent structure ant
| one adapted to wider range of uses
| may be made of concrete. 1t is beS
to equip such cellar with ventilator'
so that it may be used for the storage
Of fruits and vegetables. These ven
tilators sh ould, of course, be so ar
ranged that they may be tightly close,
when it Is desired to use the celia
for fumigating. The most popular siz

SUGAR BEETS AND MANGELS
Tend to Increase Milk When Fed to
Dairy cows-corn SIIage ls Far
Moro Economical.

Sugar beets and mangels tend to in
crease milk production when fed to
dairy cows, but experiments conduct
ed at the Ohio experiment station
show that corn silage is far more
economical. Because of this fact these
dairy experts do not advise the feed
ing of beets except for high records
where cost is a minor consideration,
or where the number of cows is too
small to permit the use Of a silo.
Cows fed beets had keen appetites
and ate more feed because of the
stimulating effects Of this root crop.
After ten years work the Ohio station
has found that two pounds of dry mat
ter can be produced in the form of
silage Mt less cost than one pound IN
the form of beets. Convenience In
feeding Is in favor of silage.
