LADIES'! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready -to-use
preparation improved by the addition Of
other ingredients, costing about so cents
a large bottle at drug stores, known as
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attractiveness. By darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it SO naturally, SO evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet requisite
It is not intended for the cure, mitigation

But what s to be done about 1t!
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
If we could wear overcoats on them

if they were detachable, so we could
put them in our pockets and hook on

But we can It.
Our noses are stuck fast. They re
forever getting broken, or smudged, or

If they were even equipped with au-

better still, If we'd been born without
noses in the first place. Solid, deeofa-
tive knobs would have done as we'll.
Think what blessing that would have

EYESTRk1M AMONG
SCHOOL CHILDREN

Eyest~ain causes numerous physical
Us, through what are known as re-
fex nerve troubles
Many cases Of stomach, liver, kid
news, bowel and nerve troubles have
been entirely cured by correcting the
eyes with proper glasses, which thus
relieve the eyestrain.
When the cause is relieved the ef-
feet speedily disappears.
The principal symptoms of eye-tt--sir
among school children are:
Headaches. Most headcch0G as
caused by defective vision Proper
glasses will relieve them.
Aead-T lifting. Indicates inbalance
of the ocular muscles; serious con-
dition.
Hating, hesitating readers; always
& sure sign Of imperfect vision.
Holding the book too close. Does
not always indicate rearsight, but al
ways means defective eyes.
Poor Distance Nision-unable to see
writing on the blackboard.
Dread of lisl1t-squinting.
Nervousness irritablity. This con-
dition frequently leads TO ST. Vitus
Dance or Chorea. This malady yields
readily to proper glasses.
Strained Expression = furrowed
brow, indicating weak, painful vision
Parents can best serve their child
rem by having their eyes corrected at
the proper time and when needed
Care in youth usually enables the
child to outgrow eye defects.
The efficiency Of the child will be in
creased and his health conserved.
If in doubt as to your child's eyes
take him to reliable Optometrls
and learn the truth.
Most disease are caused by nerve
exhaustion, which is frequently thu
result Of eystrain. Put the eyes II
focus, and EASE takes the place o
DISEASE.
Help the child to help himself.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinkinq q
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, SO let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live We'll,
eat Well, digest we'll, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning. and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nanJ matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste. sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sWeetening and purifying the entire
alllnentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
Vlgorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations> gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume Of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get q
quarter pound OF limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject Of inside-bathing before break

Next To Lie Itself Sight Is
Mans Most Valued
Possession.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF EYES
Modern Working Conditions Increase
the Burdens Of the Eyes and Cause
observation-disclosures Properly Fitted
BY Cpton1etrists Prevent Strain
and Other Eye Troubles.

Next to life itself sight is the most
valuable thing you possess
To Go the most efficient work, to
get the most enjoyment cut OF life,
you need your eyes in the best pos
si0le condition.
The first indications Of eye trouble
should have your Immediate attention.
Such troubles come on so gradually
that they are not realized at first, but
as soon as recognized they should be
attended to, as eye defects continue to
grow worse, il neglected.
The most common troubles are the
results Of eyestrain, which is exceed
ingly prevalent. Unless the strain is
promptly relieved permanent injury to
the eyes is likely to result, and merely
because Of neglect for time person
may suffer lifelong handicap of poor
sight.
The prevalence CT eyestrain undoubt-
edly is due to the fact that modern
living and working conditions are put
ting increasingly heavy burdens on
the eyes.
E yestrain frequently comes from
working under improper lighting con-
ditiOns; or it may be caused by going
without glasses when they should be
worn; or by wearing glasses the lenses
of which are not ground correctly for
the wearer
There are many symptoms of eye
strain, the most common being pains
III or about the eyes, headaches or
nervousness. These symptoms be-
come aggravated when the eyes are
used without rest Cor any length Of
time
Besides these more OF less easily
recognized symptoms, there are many
other more remote troubles which
may indicate eyestrain.
When eye troubles reach more adj
vanced stages there may be difficulty
in seeing distinctly, or the outlines
Of objects may appear blurred. Some
times there is an unevenness in the
appearance of straight lines or an I'M
equal brightness Of different parts Of
objects. These latter visual defects
are due to astigmatism
Frequently person who sees dis
tinctly has eye defects which, how
ever, are not so great but that the
eyes can produce distinct vision by ex-
ira muscular exertiOn. But the con-
slant muscular eXertion necessary to
produce such distinct vision will lead
to eyestrain if continued for any
length Of time.
Such persons often suffer from head
aches or nervousness without realiz-
ing that eye trouble is the cause.
If strained eyes are not relieved
within a short time by proper glasses
permanent injury will result, and the
sight can never afterwards be re-
stored 80 what it should have been
While the eyes will stand a great
amount OF misuse, if misused too long
there is no way to make them Gas
good as new"
