PRESERVING AUTUMN GLORY

The glorious tints of autumn are
to be preserved for the garments of
women because one woman with an
inquiring mind was struck with the
fact that after a wind and rain storm
the leaves that had stuck to the ce-
ment sidewalk in front of her home
left prints in color upon the stone
1t happened at a fortunate time,
when the country was seeking relief
from the dye shortage. and the dis
coyerer went Systematically to work.
Presently she had finished demon
stration which embraced every pos
sible shade from glistening gold to
the darkest seal brown and including
grays and taupes. She made tests
with silk, wool, cotton, feathers and
paper, and she had a patent to show
for her work.-Baltimore American

ALL HAIL THE BEAM

In the recent estimates Of the 1917
crop yield by the department OF az
riculture nothing was said of that
dear, old dependable vegetable, the
bean.
How the government came to over
look such an important winter food
we. cannot say, but we take pleasure
in informing the bean-esters of the
Ohio Valley that the crop. this year is
q record breaker.
This news should bring JOY to the
hearts of many, especially the mid
night bean-eaters, who in the halcyon
days of the beer-saloon used to climb
"A peg and secure a bowl of suds, a
thousand on a plate and bread, all
for ten cents. but who, the past few
years have been fortunate to BIZ able
to purchase a dozen baked beans for
dime at the Greek restaurants.
The high cost of living jumped the
bean into the same class with the
onion and the potato last winter, but
this year the old portion of one thou
sand for nickle should be In order,
for the ARIZONA Gazette in speak
ing of the present bean situation,
says that the former record crop of
1O,O00,000 bushels will possibly be
trebled.
The Gazette points out that the
four big bean states of Michigan,
California, New York and Colorado
alone will produce approximately g.
141,00o bushels this year Michigan
will WELD over 100000, which near
ly equals the former record for the
entire country, and California is a
close second with 100000 bushels.
Under these circumstances there
will be beans for everybody. enough
in fact to feed all the armies of the
world, basing the statement on 400
rations to the bushel, which would
feed approximately 24,O0O,oOO soldiers

the deficiency of Phosphates lacking
in your food by using Argo-Phosphate,
the form of Phosphates most easily as
simulated.
NOTICE: Argo-Phosphate which
is recommended and prescribed by
physicians in all enemic cases, is not
a secret or patent medicine, but one
that is sold and recommended by well
known druggists everywhere, and ply

it is easily. assimilated and will be
found effective in the treatment of in

Phosphate will forfeit to any charita'

that Phosphates are just as essential
to any man or woman who fires cas-
lily is nervous, or irritable, worn out,
or looks haggard and pale to make a
strong, robust, vigorous healthy body,
as they are to cotton to make it grow.
The lack of Phosphate is the cause
of all enemic conditions and the ad-
ministration of 5-grain Argo-Phosphate
tablets will increase the strength and
endurance of weak, nervous, care worn
men and women 300 per cent. in two
