LET SUPPLY ORDER FOR ARMY CLOTHING TO TEACH BUYERS

By Dr. J. N. Hurty, Indiana Director of Public Health Work. - Fully one-half of all taxes go to pay for the results of sickness and disease which in a higher state of civilisation we would not have. Now, there is insanity. Mental disease is the term the doctors now prefer. Where does it come from? Why do we have mental disease? But first as to its cost to Indiana. In round figures we plank down in cash $2,000,000 annually to care for the insane. But that is not all the cost, for there are 6,000 insane, all adults and all withdrawn from, productive life. If each one earned $500 per year and this is a reasonable estimate then the loss to the State is $2,000,000. The total loss due to insanity is, therefore, 5,000,000 each year. Now, here is where it comes from, and we are as stupidly indifferent to the cause and the loss as we are to smoke and its loss. Twenty-five per cent, of insanity comes from syphillis, 25 per cent, from alcohol poison, 35 per cent, is heredity and the remainder is such poisons as typhoid poison, tuberculosis poison, diphtheria poison, scarlet fever poison, food poisons and drugs. Please observe each cause may be largely controlled. Turn the problems over to the health cranks, keep the practical politicians at bay, and the fearful annual loss would each year grow less.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY COMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR

Look Young! Common Garden Sage and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever ner hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any. drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been appliedit's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention or disease.

a BnnsflniKBSS Maim It's important to you in these days of rising prices, of quality manipulation, of widening delivery radius it's mighty important to know that your storekeeper is a good business man. One quick way to tell is to look out of your window and see how he delivers your packages. t , 4 s

Investigation of a thousand stores shows delivery costs from 2,&c. to 48c. per package. The average dealer knows the cost of everything in his store except his delivery service. In fact, when it comes to delivery cost the whole business world thinks with its feet. As far as we can learn, only one concern in America has actual figures and data on the cost of package-delivery in all lines of trade and that is the VI M Company of Philadelphia. From the big Department Store, with a hundred wagons, to the little grocer with one, dealers are delivering packages on theory. Now about your dealer If he clatters around with a horse and wagon, his delivery is costly and his service bad. With telephones everywhere and the spread of population, a live dealer's delivery covers ten to twenty-five miles to the trip, and handles packages in loads anywhere up to 1000 pounds. Horses and wagons cannot cover the ground. The answer is some form of motor transportation Now we say again look out of your window and see how. your storekeeper delivers your paackages. Is he using a converted pleasure car? That's the first costly, chuckle-headed mistake he is likely to make.

This is the most efficient chassis for its work in the world price is $645. Fitted with any one of twelve types of body handsomely designed and strongly built suitable for a hundred lines of business. Price complete: Open Express, $695; Closed Panel Body, $725. All prices F. O. B. Philadelphia All prices advance March 10th.

A pleasure car made into a delivery truck designed for an entirely different use. A car that can't stand the strain, that can't do the best work in the best way; a chassis built to carry only live weight (which by its very nafure absorbs the shock, and, consequently, is easy on the car) when the facts and the figures show that the economical thing is a car built especially for package-delivery purposes. The second costly mistake is a truck too heavy for the work. Some dealers think it looks impressive to drag around a ton of dead weight burning up gas, grinding down tires. When you look out of the window and see a VIM Delivery Car you know that your storekeeper has the last word in a delivery car the first answer to efficient package-delivery founded on facts, proved by the results. . A car that is light in weight, quick on its feet, easy on tires, built for strength and simplicity; that will carry packages and toads up to one-half ton, stand the shock and strain of shifting dead weight over any kind of pavement and roads, economical in gas consumption; that will run day after day in the care of ordinary drivers with practically no adjustment and keep out of the repair shop.

20,000 merchants have made VIM Delivery Cars pay for themselves.
