Another Innovation.

After fiftcen-minute intermission
Uncle Josh Weatherbee, in the per-
son of Leslie Vaughn came on the
stage and gave an interesting and de-
scriptive account of his recent trip to
New York, which provoked many a
hearty laugh.
After this a number of fellows un-
dertook to show the audience what
would happen to man Or woman
who eats lobster, bread, mince pie,
mashed potatoes, soup, limburger
cheese and pickles all at the same
meal.
The fellows all came in with band
boxes representing these viands on
their heads. Immediately they in
dulged in a hair-raising fight which
demolished most of their headgear
but which no doubt effectually proved
their point. This concluded the show
which was good one and we'll worth

An Easy and Harmless Way to Darken


Who does not know Of the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and il good condi-
ton? AS a matter of fact, sulphur is
natural element of hair, and de-
fciency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably, there is no bet
ter remedy for hair and scalp troubles,
especially premature grayness, than
sage and sulphur, if properly pre-
pared. The Wyeth Chemical Company,
"A Cortlandt St, New York City, put
up an ideal preparation of this kind,

TEACHERS OF TWO COUNTIES
TO MEET IN GRANTS PASS

Grants Pass will be alive with
school ma ans for three days during
the middle of October, for on the
thirteenth to fifteenth the Joint
county teachers institute for Jose
phine and Jackson counties will be
held.

plans for a large attendance and
anticipates that there will be at
least 250 teachers present. Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction J. H.

with other distinguished members Of
the teaching profession, including /.
r. Anderson, head Of the department
of education Of the University Of
Oregon; Miss Catherine Montgom-
cry, superintendent of primary edu-
cation of the Bellingham public
schools; Professor Sampson, of the
Washington State Normal school at
Cheney.
There will be two general sessions
held each day at the high school
building. The evening sessions will
be held at the opera house. The
program will be divided into -four
general divisions-primary, inter
mediate, rural schools and superln'
tendents and principals of high
schools.
Mr.. Savage believes that this will
be the most profitable institute ever
held in Josephine county because Of
the able instructors who will be
present.
For the day following the close Of
the joint institute, Superintendent
Savage has called a school board
convention. BY law all chairmer
of school boards are delegates tC
this convention. Professor Anderson
will remain to take part in the dis
