Right Idea About Business.

The old idea that business is get
ting the better of your neighbOr is'not
only dad business" but nonsense.
Business is not getting the better of
but doing the best for your neighbOr
and yourself. If business is not mu-
tually profitable, it lis mutually de-
structive. My neighbours prosperity
helps mine and mine his. When that
old pernicious notion is finally e1plOd-
ed the millennium of business will be
at hand, the era of universal peace
between capital and labor.-Lord Lev
erhulme.

Reason for Term "RoyaI."

Naturally there is a good cas- for
calling golf a royal game, inasmuch
as it was the. favorite sport Of the
kings and queens of Scotland and
England, as well as the dukes ana
earls III ancient times. King Charles,
King James I, II, VI, Queen Mary of
Scots and others were pre-eminent
among the lovers Of the recreation.

oenaturina Alcohol.

Alcohol Is denatured by the addition
thereto of an element which renders it
unfit to drink and which may not be
removed from the. spirit by any process
short of destruction. The term arose
as a convenient designation of alcohol
whose nature had been altered, and it's
standing was made official by legisla-
ton in congress.

"Take It EaSV"

A great many young folks make
hard work of things that should be per-
fectly easy, and as long as there are
plenty of really hard duties to be done,
it seems a pity to make hard work Of
the rest. One of the arts of life is to
learn to do our work in the easiest way,
saving on the: simple tasks strength
to apply to the hard duties.

Satisfied With Little Food.

In the Edinburgh (Scotland) zoo
there is a crocodile that is content with
a rat or a piece of h~orsef1esh every
fortnight. There is an anaconda which
arrived more than a year ago and has
since steadily refused to take food of

An ~archeOlogist recently dug up a

those times.

Queer Find at Pompeii,

A soap-bOiler's shop was among the
things discovered in the excavation at
Pompeii several years ago. The city
was buried beneath volcanic ashes A.

in the shop had not lost all efficacy,
although it had lain under the ashes
more than 1900 years. Soap making
was quite a business in a number of

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sui

Sulphur to keep her locks dark and

which Is go attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for a bottle OF "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly, that nobody can possibly tell
1t has been applied. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with 1t
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.

with Wyeth's Sage and sulphur
Compound is that. besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few ap-
plications, II also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives IL an ap-
