BE PETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
__ Almost everyone knows that Sage I
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
gray. Y^ars ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Con?Pbun<*,” you will get a large j
bottle of this famous old recipe, ini- i
proved by the addition of other In- ;
gxedients, at a small cost.
Won’t stay gray! Try it! No one;
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and even!-/. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, und after another ap
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is no®in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
Bargains are what wa are all look- [

KEEP HOUSE LOOKING RIGHT
i
Liberal Use of Paint Is True Economy l
—Means Higher Rent and
Greater Value.
* i _______
The best way to sell a house Is to
1 paint it first.
You can get higher rent for a house
I by painting it.
The banker will lend more money on
j a well-painted house.
These ure suggestions made in con
nection with a clean-up—paint-up cam
1 palgn that have arrested a great deal
1 of attention. ,
A prominent banker said:
“Of course, it is easier to get a loan
. on a well-painted house. This is not
I merely because the house is in better
repair and holding its value, but be
cause tlie very fact that a man takes
good care of his property is proof to
us that he is not shiftless, that he is
provident and that we have a reason
ably certain prospect of getting the
loan paid back.
“A well-painted house carries its
own recommendation, even as a man
who is careful about the neatness of
ids appearance makes a much more
favorable impression than one who is
Careless.”
When nature takes on a new dress,
why not be in harmony? is a sugges
tion for “clean-up—paint-up” that
carries an appeal to most folks. It is
also pointed out that woodwork kiln
dried by furnace fire, in spring is actu
ally parching and famishing for re
freshing paint.
. Again the suggestion is made that ,
wjien the east winds are high it is
’ dangerous not to have your windows
carefully puttied.
: EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE
Matter That Should Have Careful
Thought When One Is Contem
plating Building a Home.
—
Many factors enter into the work of
building a home that are not con
cerned, simply, with the work of de
signing or the mechanical processes
that go into the building of the house,
' and we soon discover and realize that
1 the designing and building of a house
: is, after all, but the first preliminary
. step in the establishment of a home.
I The house is important, of course, and
, if it is not just as it ought to be in
every particular, the operation will be
' a complete failure.
And it is of special importance b$
fore you build, that you know just
» what you want your house to suggest
in the way of newness or old-fash
ioneduess or an atmosphere of historic
association, and you should also know !
how the result you wish cau be se- |
cured.
Tour house need not be old to pos
sess what seems to be an atmosphere
redolent with memories of the good
old days, and if you will but choose j
your architect with proper care, he
■ will know how to give to your new
home that atmosphere which one well
known designer of colonial houses—
Joy Wheeler Dow—calls the dramatic
quality in architecture. -— Rawson
Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti
jful.
Ornamental Lamp Posts.
There is no feature of municipal j
equipment that adds more to the at- j
tractiveness of a city’s appearance!
than do ornamental street lamp posts
of artistic and appropriate design. Just j
ns tiie effectiveness of inferior decora- j
| tions arid furnishings depend in a ,
large measure upon lighting fixtures, j
I so the beauty of the street can be en- j
j hnncod or marred by its lights. In I
' each case a satisfactory solution or ;
tho lighting problem consists not only i
in supplying sufficient illumination hut \
I also in providing lighting equipment :
j that harmonizes with its surroundings
j and possesses a beauty of its own. j
! The old-time lamp post in vogue be- I
fore the days of electricity fulfilled ;
the second of these conditions but not j
the first; for, although the post itself j
was often a work of art, its feeble oil •
or gas dame seldom was equal to the j
task of illuminating the street. On
the other hand, the modern overhead j
arc lamp gives a fairly satisfactory .
light, lmt the unsightly polos, ropes. I
wires and other equipment for raising i
and lowering the lamp can scarcely bo ;
called beautiful. Now comes the ornn- ■
mental street lamp post, which com- !
bines the beauty of one of its prede
cessors and the utility of t'ne other.— j

Panoramic Object Lesson.
Two and a half miles of corridors
In the state, war and navy building

fleet the light.
This is i really economic experiment
that has h-on proved a great saving in ,
i the c st-1 lighting. The light-reflect I
'tig yah;. >? the various tints of paints j
are now understood by the skillful
printer.
Jinny industrial establishments,
schools, hospitals and office buildings ;

intet >rs brighter they have saved a ;

Mr. Jameston came home in the ev
ening with a feeling of pride, and, as
soon as the family were seated
around the table, told them of a
street fight which he had stopped,
adding:
“One of the men was rushing at
the other with a spade, and if I had
not stepped between them he would
have beaten his brains out.”
There w’as a slight pause, when
Jameston’s little son spoke up proud
ly:
“i-le couldn’t beat any brains out
of you could he, pop?”
There was a long silence, while
Mrs. Jameston thought in vain for
something to say to relieve the op

QUIT MEAT W
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.
No man or woman who eats meat regu
larly can make a mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-knbwn _
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get cluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all ■
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache m the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine' is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a,
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate \
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
.tad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-waier chink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure," thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
