married an armless woman to keep
from buying the ring. He used to
stop the clock at night to keep from
wearing out the works. He would
look over his glasses to keep from
wearing them out. He would take
long steps when he walked to save
his shoes. When he sent his hired
men into the strawberry patch to
pick berries he would keep them
whistling all the time so they could
not eat any of the berries. He took
his food in capsules to save his
teeth. He lost a pocketbook with
twenty dollars in it; fellow found
it and returned 1t to him week
later and he charged the fellow in

fond recollections of him in years

the Knickerbocker State, where the
warmth of Southern hospitality is
unknown, except among the fan
tastic rich, he lost no time going

have made a hit.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why Is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
IL we all would practice inside.bath-
ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
naf-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
sen is that the human system does not
rid itself each day OF all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres.
9nt mode of living. For every ounce
az food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as IL Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs Of the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, glass Of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in 1t, as a harm
less means Of washing out OF the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins thus cleansing, sweeten.
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation. bilious attacks, acid
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but Is
SUFFICIENT to demonstrate to anyone,
it's cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

SAGE AND SULPHUR j.. !
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make IL at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition OF other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray Try Il! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does IL so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. glossy and attractive.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is q delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and q
youthful appearance. IL Is not In
