HGIasS Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit.
Open sIuices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Thoseof us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we
arise; splitting headache, nasty
breath, acid stomach, lame back,
can, instead both look and feel as
fresh as a daisy always by wash
ing the poisons and toxins from
the body with phosphated hot wat
er each morning.
We should drink, before break
fast, a glass of real hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phaet in it to flush from the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and ten yards
OF bowels the previous days indi-
gestible waste, sour bile and pois-
onous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before put
ting more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phos-
phate and hot water on an empty
stomach is wonderfully invigorat-
ing. It cleans out all the sour fer
mentations, gases, waste and acid
ity and gives one a splendid appe-
tite for breakfast and it is said to
be but little while until the roses
begin to appear in the cheeks. A
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to
make anyone who is bothered with
bllllousness, constipation, stom-
ach trouble or rheumatism a real
enthusiast on the subject of inter
nal sanitation. Try it and you are
assured thta you will look better
and feel better in every way short
ly.

LADIES'! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know. 4

The use of Sage and Sulphur
for restoring faded, gray hair to
it's natural color dates back to
grandmother's time. She used it
to keep her hair beautifully dark,
glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this SIM
pie mixture was applied with
wonderful affect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for bot
tie of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get this IA
nous old preparation, improved
by the addition of other ingred-
tents, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown drug
gist says it darkens the hair so
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or
brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair diappears, and after
another application or two, it be-
comes beautifully dark and CLOS
sy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requis-
tie for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.

India Now Strong
Bidder For. Diamonds

Chicago. Sept. 16.-~India, according
to diamond merchants returned from
abroad, recently has become one of
the strongest bidders for diamonds in
the markets Of Amsterdam. Mer-
chants from that country have been
buying diamonds in enormous quaint
ties. They clamor for more but the
diamond output pf the South African
mines must b e ap~porti0ned with some
degree Of fairness among the various
nations, all Of which, it is said, seem
to have gone diamond mad since, the
war ended.
India is the original home of the
diamond. AS far as known, diamonds
were first discovered there. When
they were first found 10 not definite.
They were worn, according to Hindoo
poetry and tradition, 5000 years be-
fore Christ. In early times, they
were worn in their native state and
were frosty gray crystals without brill
linacyA The art Of cutting and polish
ing them was not discovered until the
sixteenth century.
The diamond mines. of India were
in the zenith Of productiveness in the
latter part Of the sixteenth ana the
beginning Of the seventeenth century.
Their total output has been estimated
at 50,000,o00 carats. Akbar. a Mogul
prince, is said to have had q yearly in
come Of $500, 900 from the mines of
his domain. Diamonds, tradition de-
clares, were hauled from the Partial
mines by the wagonload and Emir
Jennla is said to have counted his dta-
m0nds by the sack.
The Indian mines are now exhaust
ed and the sites OF the most famous
ones have been forgotten. It seems
one Of fate's paradoxes that India,
