everything in the world to make him happy, and the strength of the unhap.- pity married Spanish beauty, wife of the cruel, jealous and brutal span ish ambassador, is forcibly brought out and stands as a big feature of the story.
 Briefly told, the story is as fol- lows: A happily married man be- comes attracted to the unhappy wife Of the Spanish ambassador. They become more than friends and, afte.' her husband beats hc:. she leaves him to elope with her lover, whom she does not know to be married. Before they accomplish irretriev- able wrong, she learns of his wife and family and leaves him to become a nun. He hasn't the bravery to face his wife and beg forgiveness and goes to the African wilds. Three lives arc threatened with ruin and a shadow cast over the lives of the two chill dren. What happens after that is best told ill this splendid photodrama.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will
 Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's na- tural color dates back to grand mothers time. She used to to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull faded or streaked ap- pearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for 55 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, takins one strand at time By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire {. more youth full appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or proven tion of disease-Advt.

Dandruffy Heads
 Become Hairless

! If yo,, want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

HATCH YOUR CHICKS EARLY.
Uncle Sam's Experts Advise on Poul.
 try Raising.

Unde rthe title, "Hatclr your Chick ems Early" and "Have Eggs to Sell All Fall," the United State sdepart- ment of agriculture has issued from the government printing office a pam phlet which contains valuable hints Tn brief form, for poultry raisers.
 The pamphlet reads as follows: | "Fresh eggs are highest in the fall and winter. This is because every 1 body's hens take their annual vacation then.
 Don't blame the hens; they always have done it and they always will.
 "They stop laying eggs and grow new crop of feathers instead.
 During this 'omtling period,' as poultrymen call it, nobody has many eggs to sell until the young bullets begin to lay.
 American breeds, (Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds. etc) begin to lay about seven month sold. Leghorns, Minorcas, etc., begin when about six months old.
 Therefore, if we hatch chickens early in the spring they will begin to lay when the hens are melting.
 "To produce late fall and winter eggs, begging matching March 1. Hatch at intervals and have all the chicks out not later than May 1. i; eff hens do not want to sit in time, get broody hens from a neighbor or use an incubator.
 "For further particulars, see your county agricultural agent, or write to 1 Your uniVersitY."

 the Calendar,

Little Rock, March 1.-The house remained in session until midnight, spending most of the time discussing appropriation measures and the re- mainder in passing local bills.

It had been sent to the senate, where it was reduced to $4, 900, and the senate records show that it was passed Monday at that amount and the bill transmitted to the house, where it came up Monday night fer concurrence in the senate amendment. When read in the house the amend-
 ment was for $4,200, and the house concurred. The irregularity was dis l covered Tuesday morning, and MT. ! Brooks asked for an investigation The

GARDEN FLOWER BORDER.

Those desiring to improve the land scape effect of the garden can do SC by planting a border around the gar den plot, using such as sweet peas, coleus, lantana, etc. It would be a good idea to set the flower border some two or three feet from the gar den plot SO that it would not be in the way of cultivation of the garden. Flowers need a good deep rich soil such as could be made by mixing three parts of good rich soil with one part of well-rotted stable manure.

ViofetS,

Stern-faced, tired. sorefooted from
unaccustomed tramping, the man paced
along the side of roadway 20 miles
from the city in the afternoon sun
shine Beside the road sat little boy
and girl, each timidly clutching bas-
ket of punches of wood violets. The
children looked at the mans stern,
tired face and timidly kept back the
words Of invitation they wanted to
speak. As the man paced by he caught
pale, twinkling little smile in the eye
Of the boy-and out of memory's gal
lery there flashed picture-the pic
ture of another timid, barefoot boy In
the dust Of country roadside, a boy
who wanted to make fortune in nick
els and dimes from his primitive mer-
chandise-and hadn't the courage to
cry his wares.
"Give me one of your bouquets, my
boy" he said.
And he went on. Behind him q rosy
smile on two little faces and with him
a ray of sunshine on the head Of the
boy Of 40 years ago.-Detroit Free
