Clear, Peachy Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
a natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. If
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands of
sickly, anaemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy COM
plexions; instead of the multitudes
of nerve wrecks" ''rundowns,"
brain fags" and pessimists we
should see a virile, optimistic throng
Of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with q tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
cold; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change In both health and appear
ance, awaiting those who practice in
fArnnl Conf4atfar 90
Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con-
taminate the blood while the pores in
the thirty feet of bowels do.

we are living in an age when q youth

vantage.
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's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about 80 cents bottle. 1t Is very
popular because nobody can discover
It has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
OF abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. II

DOGS, PARTY.

| "Bow-wow," said Pat, the Dog.
"Bow-wow," barked Gyp, another
Dog.
"I am wagging my tall" said Pat. Il

sand / am shaking my paw at you," )"
said Gyp. II would like to play with
you Just as much as you would like to
play with me-"
"Good-good-good," barked Pat.
And Gyp danced around very hap
ply. They were both young dogs and
they loved to play and frisk about.
1t was a snowy day, and the snow
was soft and night Gyp and Pat were
both white fox terriers; Pat had one
black spot on his back, and Gyp had a
brown spot over one eye. But In the
snow they looked almost as white as
the snow did.
Lets play snowballs," said Pat.
"Do you mean throw snowballs"
said Gyp.
"That's just what I mean," said Pat.
So they began lifting the soft snow
with their paws and throwing 1t at
each other. Such fun as they had
They frolicked In the snow, and they
put their heads right into the snow
banks.
Then they would take turns In play
ing Dead Dog, and one would lie down
while the other covered him up with
little snow.
Then he would stay quite still until
the dog who had covered him up would
bark,
"Wake up, wake up you sleepy head,
"We're all through playing that you
are dead"
With bound they'd both start play
ing and frisking In the snow again.
Such time as they had. Soon two
little girls came walking by. They
were both carrying books and pencil
boxes, for they had been to school.
'Theres Pat" said the little girl,
named Helen.
"And there's my Gyp," said The sec
Ond little girl, whose name was Doro-
thy.
How did they ever happen to be
together l wonder?" asked Helen.
For while Helen and Dorothy were
the very best Of friends, and their
dogs loved to play with each other,
still they lived quite far apart. They
didn't usually go to each others homes
unless Dorothy and Helen were going
to play together.
swell" said Helen, II say we'll have a
ten party. I'm sure mother will be
willing. She said I could ask you
very soon. That was this morning,
and this afternoon means very soon."
"All right" said Dorothy, "I'd love
to come"
"And of course the Dogs will play
said Helen.

added Helen.
So the little Girls and tho Dogs all
played together. The Dogs did their
tricks and the little Girls laughed and
clapped.
Then the Dogs played with balls
while the little Girls played with their
Dolls.
When 1t came time for the,tea.party,
the little Girls sat by small blue
painted table, and the Dogs had cush-
Ions to sit on.
They had tea, which was mostly
sugar and milk, but 1t was good and
hot and 1t had Il very pretty tea color.
Then they had delicious bread and
butter and jam. And large bowls of
milk for the Dogs. Gyp andiPat also
had fine chop bone apiece.
1t was certainly very Jolly little
tea party, and when Dorothy had to
leave she said, at was all because our
Dogs were playing together that we
decided to have this little party, and
1t has been such fun"
Yes said Helen. "Oup Dogs know
when it's time to have u party, don't
they"
And the Dogs wagged their tails and
barked as though to say, I'VE know
when to have parties"
