Woman Used Slippers;
Received Many Presents
There was a sharp young lady In
Atlanto, -who had 40 or more ad
mirers. For each of these she
bought slippers, all of the same pat
tern, which she had an aged seam
stress make up, says the Augusta
News. Meanwhile she kept a pair
for herself in the parlor, where she
could have them on hand whenever
one of her lovers called. Of course,
each young man asked for whom she
was making such pretty slippers.
She would reply, with a bewitching
smile and half a wink: "Oh, they re
for a man friend of mine."
Then each Infatuated youth went
off to invest in a gift. Some bought
clothes. Some bought jewelry. One
bought furniture. In return, the girl
bestowed upon each of them a pair
of slippers, worked by the seamstress
and footed by a Dutch shoemaker
at an average cost of $2.65 a pair.
The presents from her admirers
averaged $45 per man.
The pair the girl worked herself
she presented to a young dry goods
clerk in Augusta, to whom she was
secretly married. She afterward
sold her presents and had enough to
start housekeeping.
MACCABEES ENTERTAIN
Dances, songs and readings fea
tured a patriotic entertainment g'Y£ n
last evening in Fackler's Hall by the
ladies of the Maccabees.
CHILD GETS SICK
CROSS, FEVERISH
IE CONSTIPATED
Look at tongue! Then give fruit
laxative for stomach,
liver, bowels.
"California Syrup of Figs"
can't harm children and
they love it.
Mother! Your child isn't naturally
( joss and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign the little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally,
lias stomach-ache, diarrhoea, re
member, a gentle liver and bowel
cleansing should always be the first
treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup
of Figs" for children's ills; give a
teaspoonful. and in a few hours all
the foul waste, sour Dlle and fer
menting food which is clogged in the
bowels passes out of the system, and
you have a well and playful child
again. All children love this harm
less, delicious "fruit laxative," and
it never fails to effect a good "in
side" cleansing. Directions for ba
bies, children of all ages and grown
ups are plainly on the bottle.
Keep it handy in your home. A
little given to-day saves a sick child
to-morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," then see tlttit
it is made by the "California Fig
Syrup Company."
LADIES! DARKEN
YODD GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.
The use of Sage and Sulphiir for
restoring faded, gray hair to its na
•-ilral color dates back to grand
mother's timp. Hhe used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
en that dull, faded or streaked ap
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
Hut brewing at home is mussy and
i>.it-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound." you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
eolcr and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
. ays it darkens the hair so naturallv
und evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, It be
comes beautifully dark and glossy
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
tor those who desire a more youth
ful appearance. It is not intended
ror the cure, mitigation or preven
tion of disease.

AND SORE FEEI
Use "Tiz" for puffed-up, burn
ing, aching, calloused feet
and corns.
Why go limping around with ach
ing, puffed-up feet—feet so tired,
chafed, sore and swollen you can
hardly get your shoes on or off?
Why don't you get a 25-cent box of
"Tiz" from the drug store now and
gladden your tortured feet'.'
"Tiz" maKes your feet glow with
comfort; takes down swelling and
draws the soreness and misery right
out of feet that chafe, smart and
burn. "Tiz" instantly stops pain in
corns, callouses and bunions. "Tiz"
is glorious for tired, aching, sore
feet. No more shoe tightness—no
more foot torture.—Adv.
FRIDAY EVENING,
SOLDIERS NEED
MUSIC TO MARCH
OR FIGHT AT BEST
More Brass Bands and Drum
Corps are Needed With
British at Front.
More brass bands and fife and
drum corps are needed with the
British armies at the froijt, and
popular subscriptions are beinw
taken in England to equip and send
them.
A good many of the fighting regi
ments are without bands, and it has
been noticed that theyd o not fight
as well, do not march as well and
are not as contented and cheerful
in camp as the men of the regiments
which have bands.
Karl Roberts said in a speech
shortly before his death:
"I can speak from my own ex
perience of what use a regimental
band is to a regiment. I have seen
men weary, worn out with fatigue,
hot and smothered with dust,
brighten up the moment they heard
the tap of the drum, indicating that
the band was going to play a lively
quickstep. It lias the greatest effect
on the men in camp and in quar
ters."
One of the most delightful bits of
verse ever written is enry Newbolt's
description of how a squadron of
"weary big dragoons," whipped, re
treating and discouraged, was drift
ing through a wrecked French town,
when one of the company found a
child's toy drum and another found
a, penny tin whistle in the ruins of
toy shop. The one with the whis
tle struck up the Marseillaise, the
one with the drum beat time to it.
The straggling squadron halted,
turned, reformed and, to the beating
of the child's drum and the strains
of the tin whistle, marched to vic
tory.
A Kipling' Story
Rudyard Kipling tells a story of a
cholera camp in India, where the
men were suffering badly. The regi
mental band started one night that
queer, defiant tune, "The Linclon
shlre Poacher." it was merely their
regimental march, which the men
had heard a thousand times. There
was nothing in it except—except all
England—all the sea coast—all the
fun and daring and horseplay of
young men bucketing about the bis
pastures by moonlight But, as it
was played, very softly, at that bad
time in that terrible camp of death,
it was the one thing in the world
which could have restored—which
did restore—shaken men to pride,
humor and self-control
Everyone has read that • stirring
poem, "The Relief of Eucknow," of
the Scotch regiment that had been
besieged and starved so long, that
had staved oft massacre for so many
days that it had about lost hope,
when a Scotch maid heard away off
in the distance the faintest note of
a bagpipe.
Oinna ye hear it?" she screamed
and threw herself down with her
ear to the ground. Soon they all
heard it. the bagpipes of the regi
ment coming to rescue them.
"It was the pipes of the Highlanders!
And now they played Aul Lang
Syne;
It came to our men like the voice of
God.
And they shouted along the line."
—Kansas City Star.
Hunting Seals A Fine
Art With the Eskimo
To-day the Eskimo method of
hunting seals is a primitive callins
improved to a fine art, writes a nat
uralist. When a seal is discovered
the direction of the wind is at once
noted. Then the hunter, keepins
himself to the leeward of the seal,
walks up to within about a quarter
of a mile of it. Beyond this he be
gins to crouch and advances only
when the seal's head is down.
Now, as the seal is one of the most
wide-awake of animals and has the
habit of throwing up its head quick
ly every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows that the Eskimo
has to b eextremely alert if he would
get his seal. When the seal's head
is down upon the ice its eyes are
shut, and it is said that in these brief
intervals it takes it? sleep.
The hunter, by carefully watching
the seal's movements, is able without
much difficulty to get within about
200 yards of it, but at closer quar
ters he is obliged to emply other
tactics. He lies down at full length
on the ice. Then the real sport be
gins.
When the seal's head is clown the
hunter, who keeps a keen eye on
his prey, is able to approach still
nearer by dragging himself forward
on his elbows. This maneuvering
continues for some time, until the
distance between ma nand beast has
been reduced to a few yaxds.
When near enough to make a
sure shot, the Eskimo takes his bow
and arrow from his side and sends
a swift shaft through the head ot
its outwitted companion.
Customs Authorities
Adopt Clever Ruse
The Hague, Netherlands, Jan.
18.—Endless are the tricks of the
smuggler. Prior to the advent of
cold weather, Germans had been dis
covered crossing the frontier into
Holland wearing 110 underclothing
and wonjen wearing only a mantle.
They were on their way to supple
ment this rather scanty raiment at
some Netherlands store near the
border, thence to return homeward
clad in genuine woolen or cotton un
derclothes instead of the substitute
materials wherewith Germany is in
these days arraying itself. To coun
ter this method of procedure, the
customs authorities have adopted
the equally novel method of stamp
ing the underclothes of all persons
who regularly or frequently cross
the frontier. If such travelers are
subsequently found wearing un
stamped clothes, these are treated
as smuggled goods.
