FRIDAY HELD UNLUCKY DAY
Superstition That Has Extended Dur
Ing the Christian Era Found
Hard to Eradicate.

The belief, or superstition. II you
please, Of many persons that Friday
Is an unlucky day is said to have its
origin in the fact that Christ was
crucified on that day.
Many persons refuse to begin any
thing on Friday. Few plays are ever
given their first production on that
day. All evil accidents that take place
on Friday are blamed on the character
OF the day. These notions prevail not
only among the poor and ignorant, but
among educated people.
In many places it is held to be I'M
lucky to receive any news, whether
good or bad, on a Friday, and accord
ing to a Shropshire saying: 'If you
hear anything new on a Friday 1t gives
you another wrinkle on your face and
adds another year to your age" In
deed, the expression. "Friday-faced'
used to mean sour countenance.
1t was the ancient custom in Eng
land to appoint Friday as the day for
the execution of criminals, and I'M
til recently the same was the case In
America, but through the persistent ef-
forts of the Thirteen club Of New
York, whose object is the discourage
ment of superstitions, this practice has
been partially discontinued.
In Sicily the owner Of a newly rent
ed house will not hand over the keys
to the tenant on Friday. In Palermo
no thief dares to steal on Friday, for
the popular belief is that all crimes
committed ON that day are speedily
detected.
The people of Gascony are equally
credulous. Anyone who starts on q
journey on horseback on Friday, they
say, runs great risk Of being thrown
off and killed. 1t Is good day, how
ever, for making vinegar, because our
Lord, while on the cross, was given
vinegar to drink.
In Alsace, Friday is never chosen
for wedding day, as 1t is foremost OF
the witch days when evil spirits are
abroad and exceedingly active.
On the other hand, in Hesse and 9th
er portions of Germany Friday is con
sidered particularly lucky for mar
riages.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
diton, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss OF ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and maybe Respondent; it makes
anyone so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possessing
real healing and curative value, should
be blessing to thousands of nervous,
over-worked women.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine will do for
them. Every reader of this paper, who
has not already tried it, by enclosing ten
cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y, may receive sample size bottle by

Writer "Unhonored and Unsunq."

Perhaps no other American has left
such mass of clever writing, evolved
through life Of thoughtful research
and curious reflection, and has died so
nnrecognized by the public, educated
or otherwise, as Henry Adams. says
Henry Osborn Taylor, in the Atlantic
Monthly. A born intellectual" Adams
was a virtuoso in writing, caring al
ways for form, and possessing an in
born or sedulously acquired aptitude
for the phrase and for the artistic par
agraph. Perhaps his most notable
work was a nine-volume "History Of
the United States, 1S07-1S17," with its
ancillary "Lives Of Albert Gallatin and
John Randolph"
Adams avoided recognition will
fully, not merely from the thought
less, but from the sincerely thought
full; and purposely' he carried oblit-
Grafton to a grave that has no stone
to mark his name. He Is an example
so extraordinary as to be unique.

To be possessed Of head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now--it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiufiiness and an incompal1-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.
