Rubber heels were invented to soft
er the way of life. But some folks
have a hard time anyhcw. And some
others could make their rubber heels
out of their neck and still have enough
material o twist their heads into other
peoples affairs that don't concern
them.
If you have been around on right
busy day in boiler factory it may
have occurred to you that the work
r,en would have more peace of mind
if they wore rubber heels on then
hammers.
Some situations require rubber heels
As, for instance, when a man gets
home at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Other situations require rubber gloves.
As, for instance, when the same mans
rubber heels don't work and his wife
wakes up and finds him.

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
.oOk Young! Bring Back Its Natural
Color, Gloss and Attractiveness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
urn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
q few applications will prove a reve-
alton if your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easiest way is to
get a 5O-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound at any drug
store all ready for use. This is the
old time recipe improved by the ad-
dition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. 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 damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
ne small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
lossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful toi-
ct requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease. 64

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

We're not here long, so let's make
cur stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work well, sleep
we'll and look we'll. 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
Gull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
ty opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
Liant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previ-
Gus days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins, thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before. putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acid
ity, and gives one splendid appetite
for breakfast. While you are enjoy
ing your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flush
ing 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 a
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
fast.
