his own machinery more than that of

pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once week Is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat

dull headache, the lazy liver, IL you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of

Get DYES From Trees

The older dyemakers and certain Of
the dyemakers Of the present time oh
tanned many shades Of yellow from the
inner bark of an oak tree which grows
in the United States. and which is
called in the trade quercitron bark.
From this bark the dyemakers extract
ed another dye which they called fla
vine," and from which they produced
certain shades of yellow and orange.
Fustlc was one Of the dyes which was
formerly a main reliance of the dye
makers in producing certain yellows,
especially shades called olive-yellow
and old gold. This colorlng matter is
extracted from that species of the mui-

called the "dyer's mulberry" and
which grows plentifully in the West In
