popular because nobody can discover

your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, but what de-

THEMES FOR THE NOVELIST
Good Material Might Be Found In the
Personal "Ads" Inserted in
London Times.

For the unique in advertising the
columns Of the London Times are al.
most unrivaled. What pictures might
be conjured up by the following ad:
'It is hoped that the irate colonel
who, metaphorically speaking, sat on
an unoffending subaltern in West
enc tube train day or two ago, has
now discovered his mistake and makes
peace with the third party"
And what possibilities for a pres
ent-day Dickens are contained in this:
"Bank of England note received. We
thank unknown friend, whose gift re-
ieves much anxiety"
In lighter vein, but Of serious pur-
cose is the following:
&, "Notice-If the pet goat left with
me October last by Mrs. FL. L. is
not claimed within seven days, 1t will
be sold to defray expenses"
And here is something that e. Phil
lips Oppenheim ought to look into:

DON'T DRUG KIDNEYS
RUB BACKACHE AWAY
Instant relief! Rub pain, soreness and
stiffness from your back with
"St. Jacobs Liniment."

Linimect'' stops any pain at once. 1t is
harmless and doesn't burn or discolor
the skin.
It's the lly application to rub on a
