No More Gray Hair

h AZ y easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore 1t, although it
ls possible to do both. our grand.
mothers understood the secret. They
made and used "sage tea" and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact. Our mothers
have gray hairs before they are fifty.
but they are beginning to appreciate
the wisdom OF our grandmothers in
using Sage tea" fof their hair. and
are fast following suit. The present
generation has the advantage 81 the
past In that 1t can get q ready TO use
preparation called wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. AZ q scalp tonic and color

THE BANKRUPTCY
OF THE MEEKs
Proposition For Stockholders to Take
stoker Goods For Their
Holdings in Mill.

Bonaparte Record: Bankruptcy
proceedings were Instituted for Meek
Bros: Co.. at Keokuk Wednesday,
June 20, by receiver Chas. Powell OF
Des Moines, following several unsuc-
cessful attempts at reorganization and
various forms Of settlement.
The meeting which was held at the
Meek offices here Tuesday, June 90,
was quite well attended by attorneys
representing stockholders and credi-
tors and by stockholders themselves.
Propositions which were accepted In
part, but not sufficient to prevent q
further stay Of bankruptcy proceed
ings.
A meeting Of the creditors will pro-
badly be held in q few days, at which
time the exact conditions Of affairs
Will be ascertained. 1t is certain,
however, that II the plant goes
through bankruptcy there will be very
small returns, probably 10 to 25c on
the dollar for the creditors, and abso-
lutely nothing for the stockholders.
Oyertures have been made to the
= stockholders to exchange their fac
tory stock for stoker stock at the ratio
Of four to one. This the majority OF
them have agreed to do but have not
yet done. At the time Of the meeting
they We're given ten days in which to
make this transfer. This time expires
about Saturday. Stockholders who
prefer stoker stock at the rate above
mentioned rather than factory stock
Tor which they will probably get moth
Ing, will make this exchange.
To carry bankruptcy to the point
where the plant will sell will require
from thirty to sixty days. 1t now ap
pears that the best thing for Bona
parte Is to let It through as fast as
possible and to hope that when it does
sell, It will be to company which
will at once proceed to make the
wheels go round

DIAGONAL WEAVES HAVE THE CALL
FAVORED IN PIECE-DYED WORSTEDS

In the fall displays diagonal weaves,
ranging from the fine serge weaves
to the wide wales, have the call in the
fancy weaves Of the piece-dyed wor-
steds. Stripes are also shown. For
suits and separate coats. the Scotch
effects in gray and white diagonal
weaves are taken. Mohairs are re-
garded as important the coming sea-
son.
Broadcloths are still in demand for
suits and dresses. This material is sold
in range of colors and is especially
adapted TO the soft, draping effects
demanded by fashion at present.
Cheviots are represented in the fall
lines also.
A tendency toward dark colors is ap-
parent and will be- more marked as
the season advances. Black will be
stronger than it has been for some
time, and the deep pastel shades are
very modish.
For the popular trade. all the shades
of blue will be represented and greens
in the soft tones, grays in the many
new shades. such as mist, steel. taupe
and London smoke, and rose will be
shown. Dark brown has come into its
owon again for fashionable trade. and
a deep purple shade called 'raisin" will
be among the novelties in colors.

FANTASTIC Wells
COME FROM PARIS

The fantastic veil is with us. French
weavers have been Influenced by the
wide range Of modes. and have ex-
tended the meshes Of last seasons de-
signs so that original and attractive
designs will veil their beauty OF the
fall. The weave is large, and de-
sign is afforded not by a conventional
placing of chenille. as in the past. but
by the arrangement OF the threads.
Octagonal meshes, old-fashioned cross
bars, coin spots and blocks are ap-
pearing before the eyes Of fair wo-
man, and she looks more charming
than ever. One veil carries out the
idea of leaf in a clever way.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The application for a license at
New Castle county has been
turned down repeatedly because a ma
jority of the voters of the school dis
trict wherein the hotel is situated plac-
ed a remonstrance before the judges
stating that a hotel with bar attach
ment was not needed at that place If
not needed at Townsend as a thirst
extinguisher then there is no other
place this side of the equator that an
establishment of that kind is needed.
But the main question is this-if a
school district in a wet county can
prevent by remonstrance an applica-
tion for license where there is no charge
or complaint. why should not a school
district in Kent and Sussex have the
same right by application OF a major
ity OF voters TO have license granted

NEW EVENING GOWNS
TRIMMED IN JEWELS

For evening gowns the newest idea
in trimmings is that which employs
jewels TO give contrasting color.
Gold or silver mesh forms an elegant
warp upon which are woven silSen
thread and jewels. What can be
more charmong than a dun metallic
gray lace with a turquoise blue note
sounded by large stones? Gold en-
broidery is wonderfully rich when
combined with coral and pearls
Occasionally the weaver has incor-
porated clear crystal beads on a sea-
green background and in many new
laces pearls. turauoises and corals arc
combined on one mesh.
