TRAVELLERS TALE

Doubtless" said the professor to the returned traveller, "you have picked up many strange bits of in- formation regarding the animals and birds of the countries you have visited?"
 "A few" answered the traveller. "The most interesting thing I ever heard however, was a story I got in Africa. It seems that a year or so ago that representative of a rubber stamp house went through there and lost his sample case, con- taining all kinds of office stamping apparatus. It appears that some os- triches found the case, broke 1t open and swallowed the samples" !"

KEROSENE LAMP LIGHT BEST


 There has long been an impress sion that yellow light is more agree able to the eye than that containing chiefly the green and blue rays, and 1t is generally believed, for ex- ample, by many medical and tech nical men men that the kerosene flame produces more "restful" light than other illuminants, es- pecially that incondescent solids.
 This supposition has been sub mitted to careful tests by c. K. Ferree and G. Rand, and the re- suits have appeared in the Trans actions of the Illuminating Engin- eering Society. The experiments have been compared with the kero- seneN flame with the lights from the carbon incandescent lamp, the Mag da lamp and with Welsbach mantles containing various amounts of ceria, and therefore varying in yellowness. The standard of comparison is the efficiency of the eye as determined by the ratio of time during which steadily observed type appeared clear or blurred.
 The results obtained from numer- ous, careful, prolonged experiments indicates that there is some justifi- cation for this impression, as they indicate that the efficiency of the eye diminishes more rapidly with the light from kerosene, and de- creasing yellowness in Walsbach mantles also diminishes this eff. ciency of the eye. The authors however, are not yet prepared to state positively that yellow light is better than white, but merely that yellow is better than green.-Scien- tific American Monthly.

LIGHTER METAL

A metal lighter than any yet known, and as strong or stronger that steel, has for years been the dream of many, and every now and then rumors are circulated to the effect that at least it has been dis covered. The latest reports to the circulated relates to new mag nesium alloy, said to have been dis covered by metal company of Montreal. The new alloy, it is stated is only two-thirds the weight of aluminium and is "as strong as steel" It is said to be especially suitable for pistons and connecting rods for aero and motor car en- zines, where strength and light. ness combined are desirable.

PERTINENT REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR WINWOOD S. PRATT

With full knowledge of the needs
of the larger educational institutions
of the state, Linwood s. Pratt believes
the rural schools are urgently in need
of better supervision and better con-
ditions. He sets forth his aims for
their betterment in the following brief,
concise form:
Il want a chance to help in the
uplift and betterment of the rural
schools
ITO get that chance, have become
candidate for state superintendent
of public instruction.
Il want every Republican who sees
this notice, to vote for my nomina-
ton in the primary, Sept. 9TH.
Il want every Republican who cares
anything about the schools of this
state, to get every possible vote for
me in the primary. Sept. 7th.
Il have taught school twenty years
and practiced law ten years.
81 have successfully built up three
school systems
MY preparatory education was OBJ
lAiACu III 0lSu SCuOOl, lWO HOTudl
schools and Harvard University.
Il am an expert in rural schools.
Il am an expert in child psychology
and in child development
"Give me a chance to build up the
rural schools of Arizona.
THE rural schools need about twice
as much money as they are getting.
"The rural schools need about twice
as good teachers as they have been
getting.
''If am elected state superintend
ent, will give the rural schools many
times the attention that the rural
schools in this state have ever re-
ceived.
There are about 400 rural schools
in Arizona.
There are about 5000 pupils in the
rural schools of Arizona.
"These schools and these pupils are
not receiving, and never have re
ceived, anything adequate in the way
of educational facilities.
81 repeat here the first of the three
! principles upon which is founded the
Arizona League of Glass Room Teach
erS, Wnlcn organized IN FeDfuary OF
this year:
Every child in Arizona is entitled
to as good an education as every Other
child in Arizona. regardless of the so
cial position of his parents, or the
place of his parents domicile.'
IF you care anything for the
schools, vote for me in the primary
IF you care anything for the
schools, get other Republicans to vote
for me in the primary.
IF l am elected school superintend
ent, will do more for the rura
schools than ever has been done il
this state before, by anyone.

Candidate for the Republican Nom
ination for State Superintendent o

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a GLASS Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us 1T.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind incombustible ashes, so the
food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal indi-
gestible material, which if not COM
pletely eliminated from the system
each day, becomes food for the mil
lions of bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass of leftover
waste, toxins and ptomaine-like pois-
ons are formed and sucked into the
blood.
Men and women who can't get
feeling right must begin to take in
side baths. Before breakfast each
morning drink glass Of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it to wash out Of the bowels
the previous days poisons and toxins,
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick
headache, colds, billiousness, consti-
patton, others who wake up with bad
taste, foul breath, backache, rheu-
matte stiffness, or have a sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store, and
begin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suf-
ficient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You
Darker Gray, Faded Hair
With Sa1e Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beau
tifully darkened, glossy and attrac-
tive with brew of Sage Tea and
Sulphur. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance,. this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect. By
asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get a large bottle
Of this old-time recipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap-
,plisd-it's 50 easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one strand at time. By morn.
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re-
. stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful.
