SCENE OF Miracle.
How "The Field Of the Bear" Re-
ceived Its Name.

The Field Of the Bear" that is the
Interpretation of the name Of that
Ourscamp forest which agured so con-
spicuously in the good news Of the ir-
resistible advance of the allies in the
valley of the Disc. The ground in ques-
ton forms a part of the thickly wood
ed massif which extends for long
distance, along the left bank of the
Disc, and in the center of which, like
diamond set in the heart of huge
emerald, lies the royal city of Com.

But whence this curious name of
Ourscamp-Urscamp. Ufsi Campus,
the Field Of the Bear? Listen to the

But it was in vain. Little by little man
forced his way in cutting down parts
OF the forest and turning over the sur
face soil with his plow; using to drag

the saint. Master Eear shall be

the tragedy and easily traced the
course of the bear from beside the

lair In the forest, where he found him

And then there's folks who seem TO live
Within House Of Gloom
They let each trouble weigh them down
Like some impending DOOM
There's also folks whose paths are

With flowers at every turn.
Yet always are dissatisfied,
But they have yet TO learn
That our paths are what we make

And II we laugh away our cares
There's soon a great big rent
Right thru the clouds Of inky hue.

Grandmother kept her hair beau

applied with wonderful effect. By

you will get a large bottle Of this
old-time recipe, improved by the adj

to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A welI-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage,

Miss Kathleen O'Brien at

Washington Bureau of The Bee J
Society has found a new enter
tainment for the benefit of various
funds for which it has worked al
most INCREASINGLY for two years or
more. 1t is the Chain Tea" 1t
is of the same genus as the endless
chain but works rather backwards
The first word of it came from Ber-
rluda where the women were work
ing for the soldiers and their FAM
lilies, and had raised considerable
sum. While the endless chain mul-
tiplied endlessly, the chain-tea ends
itself, after paying we'll for the bene
ficiary, and costing little to the vic
tins.
The woman who wrote it from
Bermuda, said,it had been worked
so thoroughly there, that women
were afraid TO meet each other, or
to open their mail now. for fear OF
being tagged again. Sixteen women
agreed to each pay a shilling, Tor
twenty-five cents), into a general
fund, and then each ask twelve of
their friends for tea or for bridge
Each of those sixteen original
women of course was to furnish the
tea and cake and prizes, or whatever
she wished to have, or take the
twelve to tea-house or tendance.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In Il before breakfast.

Headache Of any kind, is caused
by Observation-Disclosures means
self-poisoning. Liver and bowel
poisons called toxins, sucked into
the blood, through the lymph ductssi
excite the heart which pumps tn
blood so fast that it congests in the
smaller arteries and veins Of the
head producing violent, throbbing
pain and distress, called headache.
You become nervous, despondenty
sick, feverish and miserable, your
meals sour and almost nauseate you.
Then you resort to acetanilide, ass
pirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood
Of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it., drank before breakfast for q
while, viii not only wash these poi-
sons from your system and cure you
Of headache but will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary
canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quar-
ter pound of limstone phosphate. u
is inexpensive, harmless as sugar.
If you AREN'T feeling your best, il
tongue is coated, or you wake up
with bad taste, foul breath or have
colds, indigestion, biliousness, COM
stipation or sour, acid stomach, be-
gin the phosphated hot water cure
to rid your system Of toxins and
poisons.-Adv.
