That’s the way a good many people have found it to be with the comfort and cheer they thought they had secured in tea and coffee. When they came to depend on it — there was a hidden string, and nothing left but disappointment. The drug, caffeine, in tea and j coffee, is a nerve stimulant. Con- i stant stimulation of the nerves often produces rebellion that takes the form of sleeplessness, headaches, irritability, high blood pressure. That’s the string to tea and coffee.

BETTY COMPSON AT MECCA * + Hetty Compson. who meteoric rise to stardom was the result of her re- * markable portrayal of the role of the girl in the George Loane Tucker production of "The Miracle Man," makes her initial steilar apearanee in "Prisoners of Love,” which will be presented at the Mecca Theater tomorrow. The story is taken from one of the works of Catherine Henry, and contains innumerable tense dramatic situations which give Miss Compson the fullest opportunity to display he remarkable versatility. As Blanche Davis, Miss Compson portrays the role of a girl born of vealthy and cultured parents, and cursed through inheritance with a dangerous degree of physical attractiveness. Discovering her father buyng the silence of an adventuress who has become part of his life, Blanche leaves home and disdains even the use of her father's name. She iees to Sail Francisco, where she ob'ains employment in the law offices if Martin Blair and James Randolph. The later seeks to marry her, but his mother, an invalid since his birth, .selfishly compels her to promise that the will not take her son from her tntil after her death. Death's swift intervention fails to solve the riddie of "Prisoners of Love,” and the host work of many present dramatists seems childish ■ompared with the nut gniticent gestire with which the picture ends. Try 2 tbs. of our China coffee at 33c per Th. and receive a cup and saucer free. This is a <food | buy. North End Grocery—G. C.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is gmndmother's recipe, and foll*i are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use , product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's [Sage and Sulphur Compound.” It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply' moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides heautitfully darkening the hair after a few applications, il also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive. o DON.T DISREGARD A COLD Foley's Honey and Tar will check a cold if taken in time, and will also stop a cough of long standing. It promptly [gives relief, sothes and heals. Mrs., Geneva Robinson, 88 N. Swan St., Al-; bany, N. Y.. writes: "Foley's Houev j and Tar is the best cough medicine I ever used. Two botles broke a most stubborn lingering cough." It loosens phlegm and mucus, eases hoarseness, stops tickling throat, helps "flu” and grip coughs.

HERE IS HOW CORN SHOW CHAMPION GREW HIS CROP By County Agent. Some points thinking about i u aom growing were brought out recently by R. L. Heilman, of Hope whose ten ear sample of corn took sweepstake honors in the state corn show hold in January at Purdue University. Mr. Heilman uses good methods in corn production and gets good yields wiheh shows that show type corn is high yielding. He won a bronze medal given by the Indiana Corn Growers’ Association in the fiveace corn growing contest for a yield of 78.5 bushels to the aero. “I have been trying to improve the quality and quantity each year by selection and testing of seed", said Mr. Heilman. "The reason 1 find that testing is necessary each year is because with the modern method of testing, all ears that show disease and low germination can be discarded before planting time." The soil on which he grew the grand sweepstake ears last year was level, black bottom-land, tile drained. The previous tropes were, 1920, Alsikc ‘lover: 1919, wheat; 191 S, oats and wheat; 1917, corn. The ground was plowed during the winter and early spring and worked into ideal condition the latter part of April. It was planted May 5, 6 and 7. with about 80 pounds of 2-8-2 fertilizer per acre. The rows were 36 inches apart and it was drilled IS inches in the row. The corn was cultivated four times, a severe wind storm blowing the corn down and preventing further cultivation. Owing to this wind storm, and the dry, hot weather, the yield which would have been much higher was cut to 75.5. During the first two weeks in November, the corn was husked and the seed corn picked as the wagon went through the field. Mr. Heilman attributes his success as a corn grower to selection of seed in the fall from standing stalk and then through testing of his seed every spring.

The best test of any medicine is what it has done for others. For nearly fifty years we have published letters from mothers, daughters, and women, young and old, recommending the Vegetable Compound.
