GRAY HAIRS sANlsHEp.

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming III
vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age of seventy
five, while our mothers have white
hair before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea
and apply 1T to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it, es-
pecially as it had to be made every
two or three days on account of 1t
souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome, and by asking almost
any first class druggist for Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur the public can get a
superior preparation of sage, with the
admixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles
Daily use of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow 1t is

CHURCH LEAGUE
NEAR AN END
Each Team Has Three Games to Play
Yet-Winner Of Pennant viii
Be Determined Monday =

The church league season Is draw
ing towards a close. According to
President Weisman only three games
are yet to be played by each team
On Monday night the Methodists and
United Presbyterians will play and If
the Methodists win the pennant Is
pretty apt to be theirs, while If the
other team wins they will still be in
the running. On Tuesday the Baptists
will cross bats with the Christians
while on Thursday the Westminster
bunch will plav the United Presbyter-
ians. This will be the last game of
the week. There are few postponed
games yet to be played but unless
they have bearing on the pennant
they will be passed by.
II has been the custom to start
these games at $50 p. M. but from
now on they will start at 6:15 as the
dawn gathers quicker as the summer
draws near close. The crowds at
nding these games have not been
very large lately and 1t is hoped that
more people will turn out to see the
remaining games some good exh1bl'
.tions of the national pastime being
promised

Hudson-Fulton Celebration to be Hon.
ored With a Sucker Which
Goes on Sale in Sep
TENDER.
TWELVE KINDS OF TWos
Lincoln and Seattle stckers Still on
Sale Together With the ord-
nary Stamp, With Many
Varieties.

Now comes the announcement that
we are to have another new postage
stamp this year. making the third
special stamp in one year, which is a
new record for the United States.
A special stamp for the Hudson,
Fulton celebration in New York is to
be issued, an order having been sign
ed for the issuance of fifty million Of
the stamps by the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing. The new stamp will
be out during the middle of September
and will be two cent sticker witt
very likely a picture of the Fulton
steamboat, or the ship used by Henry
Hudson.
With the special STAMP now on sale
advertising the Alaska-Pacific-You yukon
exposition and the new one being put
on sale before the present special
stamp Is taken off sale, this will give
the United States two special exposi-
ton stamps at the same time, some
thing that has never happened before.
The special Lincoln stamps which
were put on sale Feb. 70 and which
can still be bought at the Offices,
makes three new two cent stamps Is
sued during the year, which with the
regular two centers, gives the people
their nick of four varieties to use on
their letters.
The stamp collector. however can
find more than these four varieties Of
the ordinary two cent stamp, for mail
ing machines and stamp selling ma
chimes are in quite common use ns-w
| in the larger cities and those furnish
varieties in the shape of stamps which
are perforated in different manner
from the ones which are sold at the
| postoffices.
The ordinary stamps, the Lincoln
stamps and the Seattle fair stamps
can all be secured with no perfora-
lions whatever, or with ew style Of
perforation. giving from three to five
distinct varities of each me-
The issuance of three new STYLES Of
two cent stamps within year and
| the new styles of perforations. have
caused the science of stamp collectors
to receive quite boost in America
and there are more collectors now
than ever before.
The two cent stamp of the United
| States Is one of the most common
stamps in the world among collectors
and they are issued and used in such
enormous quantities that they are
really not worth saving, except for
/ trading in foreign countries.
After the new Hudson stamps are
issued they will likewise be sold by
by the government in an unporforated
condition for use in machines and this
will create three distinct varieties OF
them: perforated, imperforate and
special perforations. When they are
on the market it will be possible to
secure twelve styles of two cent
stamps, three varieties of each Of the
four
1t will be news to many that the
United States offers the stamp user,
his selection of a dozen varieties of
the two cent stamp, but such will be
the case after the new ones are out
