I Very Effective Method
for Banishing Hairs
(Modes of To-day)
At very little cost any woman can rid
her face of hairy growths, if she will
use the delatone treatment. This is
made by mixing some water with a lit
tle powdered delatone.* This paste is
spread upon the hairy surface for 2 or
j 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the skin
washed, when every trace of hair will
have vanished. No harm results from
this treatment, but care should be used
to buy real delatoue.—Adv.

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat
Less Meat
Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water, and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is cansed by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weat'ier the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon fill
in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ac
tion, thus ridding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexj>ensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with liihia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.—Adv.

Thousands of people suffer from ex

hie stomachs who, having trleil adver
tised flesh makers, food rails, physical
culture stunts and rub-on creams, re
»:*n themselves to life-long sktuninnas
end think nothing will make them fat.
Vet their case Is not hopeless. A Re
cently discovered regenerative fore*
makes fat grow after years of thin
ness, and Is also uneiiunlled for repair
ing the waste of sickliest! or faulty di
gestion and for strengthening the
nerves. This remarkable discovery Is
called Sargol. Six strength-giving. fat
producing elements of acknowledged
merit have been combined In this peer
less preparation, which Is endorsed by
eminent physicians UHII used by promi
nent p ople everywhere. It Is absolute
ly harmless, Inexpensive and efficient.
A month's systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
co tree ting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fals to
the blood. Increased nourishment Is
obtained from the food eaten,' and the
additional' fats that thin people need
are provided. Geo. A. llorgas and other
leading druggists supply Sargol and
say there Is a large demand for it.
While this new preparation has given
splendid results as a nerve-tonic and
vitalixer, it should not be used by nerv

GEORGE'S BAD SPELL."
Washington Never Could Learn to
Write Some Words Correctly.
Whoever heard that the great George
Wnshlngtoa never could learu to spoil
correctly?
You see. it happened this way. When
George wns quite n young boy he enme
across n cdpy of an Hngllsh book call
pd the "Young Mini's Companion."
| written In a "plain and easy style," as
the title stated, which taught oue how
to write letters, wills, deeds, to sur
vey, to navigate, to build houses, to
make ink and elder, how to doctor the
! sick and how to conduct oneself in so
ciety, "all without the aid of a tutor."
Washington studied this book front
cover to cover and from it Required
two qualities that clung to him through
; life. His handwriting, easy, (lowing
j and legible, was modeled from the en
graved "copy" sheet, and certain forms
| of spelling were learned that he nevet
i could correct.
i To the end of his Hfe Washington
| wrote lie, lye: liar, lyar; ceiling, del
ing; oil. oyl, and blue, blew, as In his
boyhood he had learned to do from
this old book. Struggle as he did In

STREAKED WALLS.
. Cold Surfaces Alweys Catch More Tust
Than Hot Ones.
j The reason that lath and plaster
i walls become streaked is explained by
: John Aitken. In Nature, as dne to the
i tendency of hot nlr to deposit Its dusl
j on cold surfaces, and the colder th*
surface the weaker the power of re
sistance. So where the laths protect
the plaster from the cold outside the
! plaster receives less deposit of dust
than where It is between the laths.
Wherever a hot steam or water pipe
conies through a wall a vertical streak
of dust may be seen above it. due to
the hot air driving the dust against the
cold wall. Rooms that are heated l»y
open grates are much less dusty than
I those heated by radiators because in
; the former the furniture Is heated
principally by radiation, and. being
warmer than (he air. It repels the par
ticles of dust instead of catching them,
while in the latter the air heats the
furniture and in so doing deposits it*
dust on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by gas
simply because the light is almost cold.
) Mr. Aitken sums it up as follow*:
"Any surface hotter than the air keep*
! free from dust" „

Where Shell Bracelet* Com* From.
Though Dacca has lost Its trade in
flne muslins. It Is still the chief center
of the manufacture of the shell brace
lets everywhere worn among the Hin
dus. These are cut by women, using a
very primitive saw. from what is pop- ■■
ularly known as the* chank shell of the
East Indian seas, and into the sunk
portion of the design colored Inc is
melted. Except the rare specimen*
with reversed opening, which have '
fetched as much as £7O, cbanks are not
costly. But the shell is sacred to Vish
nu. and the bangles und anklets made
from It are frequently left on the body
at burial. Thus these sankha are not
entirely subject to fluctuations of taste,
and the demand for them remains
■teady.—London Chronicle.
