Dream" which was a great surprise
to the patrons Of the Grand. IL was
a really h!gh-elass, semi-operatic
production, equal to any attraction
seen here this season, and away
ahead of the majority OF so-called
musical shows. AS a comedian Mr..
Cushman is equal to Eddie Foy,
which means that he is great The

superb. No one who braved the
storm was dissatisfied but all were
unanimous in their praise Of the

No MORE GRAY HAIR.

II is easier to preserve the color
OF the hair than TO restore II, al
though il is possible to do both. Our
grandmothers understood the secret.
They made and used a sage tea"
and their dark, glossy hair long
after middle life was due 10 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" for their hair, and are fast fol-
lowing suit The present genera
ton has the advantage of the past
in that 1t can get a ready 70 use
preparation called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. AS a scalp tonic and color
restorer. this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our grandmothers, and IL
can be bought for so cents and s. a

The "pure food law" is designed

The "pure food law" Is designed
by the government to protect the
public from injurious ingredients in
both foods and drugs. 1t is benef-
cial both 20 the public and to the con-
scientious manufacturer. Ely's Cream
Balm, a successful remedy for cold in

etc, containing no injurious drugs,
meets fully the requirements of the

stated on every package. 1t contains

required by the law to be mentioned
on the label. Hence you can use It

Tried to End II. r. Barnhart.

When H. F. Barnhart entered his Of
fees in the Rudat building at 7 o'clock
Monday morning he was almost over
come by gas fumes which were escap.
ingfrom the gas jets, which were
turned on by supposedly some mali
cious person during the night.
Mr.. Barnhart had been in his office
Sunday night and had only one light
burning, which he is positive he turned
off when he left, about $3.50 p. m.
Monday morning both Jets were
found turned wide open and gas es-
Gaping so badly that it required the
opening of all windows and doors for
over an hour before the rooms were
safe enough to be occupied.
Mr.. Barnhart has no idea why any
one would have done this, but as he
used to have Davenport bed in the
inner room and it was known that he
occasionally slept there, it is thought
some malicious person might have en-
tered the room after Mr.. Barnhart
left and, thinking he was asleep in
the inner room, turned the gas on.

falling off during the past three years
in the business of New York COM

marily to the disclosures of the inves.

themselves, and such companies are

That the operations Of the wrights

drunk.
Convinced that he had scared them

one he met.
Finally an inoffensive little family
man standing with a group jumped
into him and beat him into submission.
When he was finally allowed to get
up the Camden man struggled to his
feet and, looking around at the crowd
which had gathered, said defantly:
