RARE STORIES OF PANAMA AND CANAL Told in Human Interest Style by Author Who Made Careful Study of ePople. Among the many thousands of people from all over the world who visit the Canal Zone none could be better prepared for what is common- ly known as “sightseeing” than was Willis J. Abbot, author of “Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose.” In addition to a carefully selected staff of artists and photographers, Mr. Abbot carried with his creden- tlals from government officials at Washington, D. C., where he had long been a special writer on nation- al topics. Besides, he has an exten- sive personal acquaintance among the officers in charge of the Canal construction, which, of course, gave him many privileges not extended to strangers. Thus equipped, Mr. Abbot made a careful survey of the Canal and its adjacent territory, going into every nook and corner of the Zone. Under his direction photographs were tak- en and sketches were made with a view to illustrating this book fully and completely. The result is a volume which portrays every phase of life on the Isthmus. Around these pictures are drawn intimate storiss of the customs and characteristics of these unusual people; how some of them were found to eat lizards and consider them a rare delicacy; how they live dn the jungle far re- moved from civilization; how they have helped to construct the great waterway; in fact, all about the place and the people. The Pioneer realizes the educa- tional advantages to be derived from this book, and for this reason has arranged for a great distribution to its readers. Every man, woman and child will at once recognize the ne- cessity of knowing all there is to know about this mighty achieve- ment; all about the natives; about the future of the country; the ef- fects of the Canal on the nations of the entire world; and here is a chance to get all this information almost free. For a short time The Pioneer will distribute this volume to its readers for six certificates and a small ex- pense fee to cover the cost of dis- tribution. Clip your certificate to- day and take advantage of the offer as soon as possible. SAGE TEA KEEPS YOUR HAIR DARK It’s Grandmother’s receipe to bring back color, thickness and lustre. Everybody is using it again. Gray hair, however handsome, de- notes advancing age. We all know the adwantage of a youthful appear- ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray and = looks dry, wispy and scraggly, just a few ap- plications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundred- fold. Don’t stay gray! Look ' young! Either prepare the tonic at home or get from any drug store a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.” Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to‘use prepar- ation, because it darkens the hair beautifully and removes dandruff, stops scalp itching and falling hair; besides no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair dis- appears; after another application or two, its natural color s restored and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.—Adv. — “Pioneer Want Ads” They bring buyer and seller together. word.
