LADIES ALWAYS STRONG
ON (JAMES OF ( ADDS
Dr. Johnson a* Authority on This
Matter.
Atlanta. Ga., June 4.—Ministers and
ethers who let pass no opportunity to
voice their alarm over what they re
tard as the ever increasing tendency
of modern society women toward the
vice of card-playing, will be interest
ed to learn that while they may be
correct on the point that it is a vice, ,
they are hopelessly wrong in their
idea that it is any more prevalent
now than it was 20 or two hundred
years ago. 1 1
An aged Atlanta church woman, J i
sick of being criticized by the min- s
isters, sent one of them yesterday the i
following quotation from Dr. Samuel
Johnson’s Idler, which he wrote in i
1759, thereby showing not only that t
the ministers were wrong in regarding \
card parties as a vicious growth of 1
modern luxury, but that old Samuel i
Johnson himself was wrong in hise 1
conclusions about the vacuity of the t
card-playing woman’s mind, inasmucu <
as the writer herself was acquainted i
with Johnson’s pages:
“There is a set of ladies who have ‘
outlived most animal pleasures, and 1
having nothing rational to put in their 1
place, solace with cards the loss of i
what time has taker away. Thev can- t
iot be numbered among the games- <
ters, for though they are always a'
1 lay, they never rise to the dignity if ]
hazard or the reputation of skill.” I i

ALL JUK E AND LITTLE (SUB

Pure Food Hoard Sens Out New Ori-vi
About Trimmings, Pulp and
Fillings.
Washington, June 5. —The Pure
Food Board has called a halt on the
practice of “loading” canned goods
with juice. The evil has grown to ,
such proportions that the housewife j
sometimes has trouble in finding any
tomatoes, pears, peas, peaches o"
what not when she opens the nicely
labelled can she bought at a bargain i
at the grocer’s. The only “bargain" ‘
she gets in many cases is a bargain
in juice.
“If in the canning of a lot of toma
toes more juice be added than is pres
ent in that lot, the same will be con
sidered an adulteration,” says the
Pure Food Board in a special order
approved by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. Also the use of pulp prepar
ed from tomato trimmings, cores and
ether waste material is no longer law
ful.
“Canned goods,” continues the board
“will be deemed to be adulterated f
they are found to contain water,
brine, syrup, sauce or similar sub-j
stances in excess of the amount nec-!
cssary for their proper preparation j
and sterilization.”
Ti e can, under the ruling, must be
packed practically full of the food it
is advertised to contain.

TUI: FIRST GRAY AAIR
SIGN OF AGE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair
A harmless remedy, made from com
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
■ts color and lustre, is just as im
portant as to care for teeth to keep
them from dis-coioring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve the complexion, and yet ne
glect your hair, when gray hair is
even more conspicuous and sugges
tive of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? Os the two, it is easier
to preserve the natural color and beau
ty of the hair than it is to have a good
complexion.
All that is necesary is the occas
ional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
! Hair Remedy, a pieparation of com
mon garden Sage and Sulphur, com
bined with other valuable remedies for
dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itch
ink scalp and falling hair. After a
few applications of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to its natural color, in a
short time the dandruff will be remov
ed, and your hair wil no longer come
out but will start to grow as Nature
intended it should.
Don’t neglest your hair, for it goes
futility than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for fifty
cents a bottle, and your druggist will
give your money back if you are not
satisfied after using. Purchase a
bottle today. You will never regret it
when you realize the difference It will
make in your appearance. Special

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR. T. 3. ALLEN
Food Specialist
DIET FOR CONSTIPATION.
A practitioner reports to
“Physiologic Therapeutics” that
he has found that a goblet of
oatmeal water taken two hours
before eating breakfast will of
ten cure constipation. An exclu
sive meal of rolled oats, sweet
ened with honey, and coarse dry
bread, chewing every mouthful
not less than twenty times, will
go far toward overcoming con
stipation if the other meal is
not unduly mixed and if proper
exercise be taken to maintain
peristaltic action. The cereal
should be well mixed with •suf
ficient honey to sweeten and
sufficient water to reduce to a
stiff dough and allowed to stand
12 hours. In severe cases this
should be eaten twice daily, un
til the trouble is overcome.
Two quarts of water daily should
be drunk, but none .within two
hours of the meal, and a table
spoonful of olive oil should be
taken moining and evening, with
a glass of buttermilk.
