great, you wished to squelck that Will

wood. You sold the low. your car you

we've placed the kibosh on the Hun,

SEVEN YEAR ITCH.

The veterans of the civil war tell
ue now seven-year itch spread over
the country after the soldiers returned
home. So striking was the connec-
tion the seven-year itch and
soldiers that the common name for.
the disease about that time was camp
Itch. SOM of the old timers have been
soaring the OUNCE generations with
stories of scven-year itch waiting
right around the corner. even saying
that the disease had already been scat
tered broadcast.
h. Kentucky Medical Journal
deems it advisable to tell the people
that the stories about the wide preva-
lence of scabies, army itch. camp itch,
seven-%ear itch or prairie itch are not
true. Things have bs~n done differ
emily in this war a:id we a. not have
to be afraid to walk on the same side
oi the street with Il soldier lest we
catch something.
AT the embarkation hospital at
Newport News the authorities estab-
lished Il scabies ward for the treatment
of seven-year itch. They had to care
for only 100 men. How different the
experience of 1S61-65.

his clothing and scrubbed his skin
with soap, using a brush for the pur-
pose. He was old TO scrub all the tops
from the sore places. The scrubbing
and subsequent washing took about

his body thoroughly, covering every
square incl of skin With the following
ointnent:
Sulphur ointment. ...........3O parts
Balsam peru. .............4 to 8 parts
The spaces between the fingers were

one-day method. AT night he scrubs
the skin from the neck down with

tailed propulsion of the cars by electric
magnets so placed in an overhead track
that they would draw the hanging car
forward by magnetism. No wheels were
used. but the cars We're TO ran on sled
like steel shoes. their great speed making
use of wheels impossible. as the centri-
fugal force would have made wheels fly
asunder.
A model built to run on a so-foot track
carried several passengers successfully at
the highest speed possible on such a
short track. When the magnets were en-
ergized they lifted the car or the track
and drew II forward through the air. The
car in motion was absolutely IIoiseless and
vi~brationless. 1t was agreed that the
General Electric Company was to furnish
money for an experiment Oh q large scale.
but before the contract was signed it was
found that the experiment would cost
more than 500. 600. Other financing plans

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old.
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair TO its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing Mt home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
my drug store for n bottle of "Wyet:'s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of either in
gradients, which can he depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A %wcll-known downtown druggist
says it dnrkcns the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand mt a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glosSy.-Ady.
