One of the very popular
Nemos. Regular Self-
Reducing front; bands of
Lastikops Webbing at bot-
tom of long skirt reduce hips

“inslope.” The corset clings
closely when you stand but

Dear madam:—
Don’t neglect our war-
ning against dealers who try
to make you believe that ‘ a
Nemo Corset isn’t what
you want.”
Nemo Corsets will give
you better STYLE greater
COMFORT longer WEAR
than any others; and there’s
a Nemo model that will fit
you —no matter whether you
are “fat and forty” or “sylph-
like and seventeen.”
If your dealer doesn’t want
to sell you a Nemo it is
probably because he can
make more profit on the
other corset he wants you
to buy. In such a case —
Be a Wise
' Woman!
Look out for your own
interests and take advantage
of the unequaled style com-
fort and economy that
NEMO CORSETS alone
can give you.

DON’T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
the Natural Color
"Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will taka Its place” la an old aaytng
which la. to a great extent true If no
step* are taken to atop th cause.
When gray hairs appear It la a sign
that Nature need assistance. It la
Nature's call for help. Gray hair
dull lifeless hair or hair that Is fall-
ing out. Is not necessarily a sign of
advancing age. for then* are thousands
of elderly people with perfect heads
of hair without a single streak of
eny-
When gray halra come or when the
hair *eema to be lifeless or dead some
good reliable hair-restoring treatment
ahould be resorted to at once. Special-
ists aay that one of the best prepara-
tions to use is the old-faehloned "sage
tea” which our grandparents used.
The best preparation of thia kind is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem-
edy a preparation of domestic sage
and sulphur scientifically compound-
ed with later discovered hair tonic*
and stimulants the whole mixture be-
ing carefully balanced and tested by
experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur 1s clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm-
less. It refreshes dry. parched hair
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to Its natural
color.
Don’t delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference a few
days’ treatment will make 1n your
hair.
This preparation Is offered to the
public at 50 cents a bottle and is rec-
ommended and sold by W. C. Ksl-
teyer.

up all hope of ever getting well.
One day. I decided to try some Car-

ordered some more and it cured me!
Today I feel as well as I ever did in
my life.
The pains and the trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person In
every way. I wish every sufferer
could know what Cardui will do for
sick women."

like Mrs. Green telling of their really
remarkable recovery from various
forms of weakness and distress. Car-
dui brought relief after other reme-

LEASE OPTION IS SOLD
Will Be Called Sans Souci
Amusement Park—Big Col-
iseum to Be a Feature.
Rowtn'i Island located on the San
Antonio river near Garden street. is to
be transformed Into one of the south'
moat elaborate and beat-equipped
amusement parka. Owner* of the
property have given James L. Glass an
option for a ten-yearJease and Mr.
Glass has organised a company that
contemplates spending 1152.000 in
making the island a premier amuse-
ment resort.
The property is considered on* of
th* most valuable in th* down-town
section und is owned by L. Ward of
Galveston. D. J. Woodward and E. J.
Altgelt. of San Antonio. It haa been
rumored at different Umea that a
large tourist hotel wuld be built on
the island but owners admitted this
morning that Mr. Glass had secured
on option for a ten-year lease and that
an amusement park to be called Sans
Souci will be constructed on the prop-
erty.
largo (ollsrum a FwUure.
A board of dlrectora for the amuse-
ment company has already been elect-
ed and the architectural firm of
Behles * Boelhauwe Is preparing
plans for the park. Among the fea-
tures of the place will be a large
coliseum with a seating capacity of
12000 which the Young Men's Busi-
ness league may assist in building. It
is estimated that execution of the en-
tire project will cost *152.000.
The river along the southern edge
of the Island will be converted into a
large natatorium and wading pool if
plans work out. It will be neces-
sary to build a dam above the nata-
torium and also a canal to connect
with the river where it bends back.
This will divert the flow from 300 feet
of the river bed which is to be made
into a beach. Water will be supplied
there by a large artesian well which
was recently drilled. Relow the nata-
torium will be a shallow wading beach
for the children.
The coliseum will have dimensions
126 by 275 feet and will be so arrang-
ed that anything from a convention
to a fair or circus may be held In it.
Many Features Are Plsnucd.
Corcllng the entire park will be n
double racing coaster having a length
of more than half a mile. The main
entrance will be on Garden atreet. A
dancing pavilion merry-go-round and
many new and novel amusements are
included in the park's plana In the
center it is planned to have an elec-
tric fountain the floor of which will
be glass with water playing beneath
under different colored light*. Near

towers each elxtj' feet in height and
in addition all other portions will be
dazzling!y Illuminated.
"Old Heldelburg" will be a novel

CORPUS CHRISTI. Tex. March 22.
—Clinging for five hours to a sail boat
that had been overturned by a pale
blowing 40 miles an hour and with
high breakers dashing against the
small craft Jim Fortenbury a tele-
graph operator; Roy Edwin a visitor
in Corpus and Venus Williams a lad
of 15 years had experiences in Nueces
bay yesterday that were thrilling in
the extreme. The party left Corpus
yesterday morning for a day on the
bay fishing and the boat was over-
blown late in the afternoon while the
men were ten miles from the city. Af-
ter drifting for five hours they were
picket! up by a Mexican fishing boat
and brought back to the reef.
THIS SPRING
If You Tako Vinol Now You Will Be
Strong AU Summer.
"I can get along pretty well in the
spring” said a feeble looking woman
the other day "but the summer al-
ways pulls me down so much.”
The trouble with her was that she
did not know that she ought to pre-
pare in spring to stand the summer—-
then she would get along all right.
Our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy Vinol is the best spring
medicine because it builds you up—-
makes you eat more and digest bet-
ter—makes your blood rich and pure
—puts healthy color in your cheeks.
Mr. P. O. Barker of Bowen's Mill
Ga. writes "When I was badly run
down last spring I took Vinol In an
effort to regain my health and
strength and it did not disappoint
me. It made me feel as well as
ever."
So to all weak pale bloodless run-
down people we say "Take Vinol this
spring and be strong all summer.” We
guarantee Vinol to satisfy you and re-
fund your money If it does not.
