D.—A. long time ago, away back in 1883, to be exact, Dr. O. W. Phelps, now |living and prac- tising medicine at Lemmon, was a young practitioner jyst getting a start in life at Hopeddle, Ill. One of his patients at that time was a real estate and investment dealer named McMan, a Scotchman, who was very ill of a fever. Young Dr. Phelps treated McMan through his illness, which was a long one, charged the customary fee, which was paid, with the thanks of the Scotchman, and thought nothing more of the matter, save that a some- what warm friendship grew up be- tween the young doctor and the real estate man. i Dr. Phelps left the Illinois town a long time ago, and when this part of South Dakota was opened to settle- ment and Lemmon was founded, he stopped at this place. 3 The other day, Dr. Phelps, on'going to the post office for his mail, was surprised to find a letter from a firm of lawyers in Illinois, informing him that McMan was dead and that, hav- ing no direct kin, and remembering the skill with which his illness of a third of a century ago had been treated, he had left a will in which the sum of $50,000 was bequeathed to Dr. Phelps. Dr. Phelps was surprised, but | he turned over his patients to an- other physician, temporarily, while he is In Illinois looking into the matter. Curicus Will. New York—'Ag I die a member of the, Roman Catholic church, if the permission of the church can be ob- tained, I wish my body to be cre- mated. If this cannot be done, I re- quest that it be opened in such a way as to prevent my being buried- alive and that quicklime be thrown on it so as to consume it quickly, and that my ashes be placed near the” graves of my children.” ‘This strange provision as to the disposal of her body is contained in the will of Mrs. Marie L. Thompson, who died in Florence, Italy, recently. The will and a codicil were filed in this city. Y . Attached to the codicll was a note addressed to “Dearest Children” and saying, “God guide and guard you al- ways. Hondr for men, chastity for ‘women, fidelity to duty, faith in God, strict observance of religion.” Property amounting to $48,000 is disposed of in the will. Lancelot Thompson, & son, recelves $10,000 in trust. A daughter, Mrs. Marlette Lawrence Heyworth Mills, gets $10,- Q00 in trust. ' To Florence H. D.

Every price is here within your reach. In explanation of the bequests, the codicil says, “I have left more to my daughter Florence than to my beloved Lancelot and Mariette, because Flos- sie has married into wretched and hopeless poverty and I have wished to lessen, so far as possible, her hard privations.” Look Into Old Shoes. Denuba, Utah—A massage hidden.in an old shoe by Charles R. Hill, who to~k his life in Hills Valley, direct- ed his sister to a spot at the base of a tree, where $2,400 in gold was found. Hill was an eccentric. re- cluse, who' lived in the foothills named after him. He left an estate valued at about $50,000. How Old Is Ann? Aurora, Ill.,—Mrs. Margaret Kren- winkle of Aurora bought a horse from her neighbor, Charles Kirsch- ner. She says she took his word that the animal was young and sound, paylng down §40 on her purchase price of $80. After she got the horse, she ‘says, she discovered it was 28 years old. She sued to recover and Justice Cortez Dut- ton ruled it was an ordinary horse deal and ordered Mrs. Krenwinkle to pay the $20 balance. Seven Times a Widower. ‘Wilkes-Barre, Pa.—For the seventh time in thirty-five years John Brown of Prospect street, Nanticoke Borough, 1s called upon to mourn the death of a wife. One year ago he was mar- rled to Mrs. Mary Chescinski, who succumbed to an attack of apoplexy while attending to household duties. GRAY HAIR BECOMES DARK AND BEAUTIFUL Look years younger! Try Grandma’s recipe of Sage and Sulphur and nobody will know. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, sireaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Compound.” You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gredients, at very little cost. Every- body uses thig preparation now, be- cauge no ome can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You damp- en a sponge or soft brush with it, and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, and aft- er another applicatlion or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years young- er. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful tollet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, miti- RS “EYES RIGHT” A5 GERMAN WAR PRISONERS MARCH PAST IN REVIEW IN FRENCH INTERMENT CAMP German soldiers, young and old, marching around French internment A BOY NATURALIST OF NEW BRITAIN | | | John White Stndent_oi Nature in | Field and Wood Most every boy in the present day, l at the close. of school and at otheri times will indulge in some sport such as football, baseball or the like, or hie | himself to the “movies.”” There are | some boys who delight, at this season of the year, to go aftield with rifie or shot-gun for the purpose of “killing something.” In fact all wide-awake, ! red-blooded young Americans take keen pleasure in going into fleld and wood, whether for the purpose of hunting, or just to have a holiday and a general good time.

Npt Ask ed to Go Hungry In urging the American people to ‘‘Serve by 8aving’’ . and to ‘‘Fight by Helping the Fighter Fight,”’ the United States Food Ad- miristration asks no.one to go hungry. It proposes that people shall ‘‘eat plenty, but whzly and without waste.’’: If the this, our own soldiers and the soldiers and will do peoples of our allies will be fed, and Americans will be healthier, wealthier and wiser. AMERICA'S PROBLEM is to feed our allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products and sugar. THE SOLUTION is for us to eat less of these and more of other toods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. YOUR PART is to sign the pledge and enroll as a member of the Food Administration, agreeing to carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administrator in your home, so far as your circumstances permit. There are no fees or dues to be paid. HARTFORD ANNUAL SALE G BLACK the occasion of helpful economles.
