SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
RESTORE FADED AND GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL coLoR-DAN-
pRuFF QUICKLY
REMOVED.

There Is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color OF
the hair. Our great -grandmothers kept
their locks soft, dark and glossy by
using a sage tea" whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance they made a
brew OF sage leaves and applied 1t TO
their hair, with wonderfully beneficial
effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time. tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than we could do 1t ourselves and
all we have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing
sage In the proper strength, with the
addition Of sulphur, another old time
scalp remedy.
The manufacturers Of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if 1t fails to do exactly as
represented.
Don't neglect your hair Get bot
tie of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur to-
day. and notice the difference after a
few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug

arm MANGLED in
FEARFUL MANNER

Alexander Chronicles: While thresh-
ing at Herbert Jenners' place south
of Ellsworth last Saturday, Iver Mid
Stoke, the engineer, received an in
jury which cost him his left arm.
While working around his engine
his coat sleeve in some manner be-
came entangled in the gearing and be-
fore he could 1iberate himself, the
bones of his arm were crushed and
splintered in places, and the muscles
Of his arm from shoulder to wrist
were horribly torn. Some of the
muscle was torn completely from the
bone.
Mr.. Midstokke showed rare pluck
and presence of mind and literally
pulled his arm out of the grinding
machinery by main strength.
He was at once taken to Alexander
where DR.. Barrett dressed the wounds.
Owing to the serious nature of his
injuries 1t was thought best to take
him to the hospital in Williston, where
his arm was amputed.

whom warrant was issued some days
ago on the charge of selling liquor in
Bowbells illegally and who skipped a
few hours after the warrant was plac-
ed in the hands of the sheriff, returned

went to the back door of the place and
sent Drinkwater to the front door.
Both went in simultaneously and met
in the kitchen without finding Hoff. A
more careful search was then made
of the premises with the result that
their man was found hiding under a
bed He was Immediately taken be-
fore Justice Kopriva where he made
known that he would plead guilty if
taken before the district court and was
ready to receive his sentence. Conse-
quently he was taken to Minot and
lodged in the county Jail to wait until
the higher tribunal took action in his
case.

MALONEY HAS
FRIENDS in EAST
THEY SEEK TO SECURE PARDON
FROM THE NORTH DAKOTA
STATE PENlTENTIARY.

Bismarck, N. ID, Dec. 4,--The state
board Of pardons is holding its regu-
lar semi annual session at the state
house. There are the usual number Of
applications pending. Among the list
is one case that has attracted more
than usual interest, not alone in North
Dakota. but also through eastern
states. 1t is the case of Dan Maloney,
now serving a life sentence for alleged
murder.
Dan has already served ten years
In prison for a crime which he main
tains he never committed. Back In
his old home at Wilkesbarre, Pa, his
relatives and friends have interviewed
in his behalf but all of their efforts
have not changed the feelings against
his little nieces and nephews who
must hang their heads in shame be-
cause of the sentence hanging over
their Uncle Danny"
Dan, however, insists that he be
granted an unconditional pardon. He
does not want a parole, but If he
leaves the prison at all, he wants it
to be with a clear record and exon
Grafton. He maintains that he did not
commit the crime for which he was
sent to the penitentiary.
The man who was murdered was
named Noxheim. At the time of Dams
arrest the sheriff of Ramsey county
(the murder occurred in Devils Lake,
was after another man at Williston.
This other man had lived with Nox-
helm, and was living with him at the
time he was killed This party must
have been at the home of the victim
after the murder was committed. He
was said to have no money where
with to support himself and Noxheim
had repeatedly told people that he
was afraid of him. When this party
went to Williston he spent money
very freely and had large sum on
his person, and as soon as the pa
pers came out telling of the finding
of Noxheim's body he left Williston
and went to Iowa. He visited his
wife's folks there, calling upon them
in the night and got away again.
The sheriff was recalled from his
chase of this man by the county COM
missioners, it is said. They told him
Dan Maloney had been drunk at the
time, had the delerium tremens, and
tried to kill himself. In his rawlings
he somehow mentioned the name OF
Noxheim, and he was rushed into
court on the charge of murder and
sentenced to life imprisonment. He
has already served ten years in prison
for the crime, his conviction occur
ring under very unfavorable circum-
stances. Dan still maintains his in
nocence.
At the time of his arrest Dan adj
mits that he was a rather worthless
piece of humanity. He was a blind
pigger and was causing trouble in
the community. He says that the
murder charge was trumped up
against him to get him out of Devils
Lake However. IL ever a man in the
world reformed, Dan has been that
man. The thought Of liquor is abb
horent to him. During his incarcer-
alton he has steadfastly tried to inn
prove his condition. He has learned
to read. and is one Of the best posted
men on current events and on lit

The CANADIAN
FARM HANDICAP
REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE IN
FAVOR OF THE NORTH DAKOTA
FARMER IN BUYING POWER OF
HIS FARM PRODUCTS SHOWN
BY MANITOBA MAN.

st. Paul Dispatch: The findings of
Robert Mckenzie, secretary of the
Manitoba Grain Growers association,
association, should be interesting read
ing to those American farmers who
have an idea there is superior oppor-
tunity offered to them in the Canadian
northwest He Investigated relative
prices and conditions on the two sides
of the border and finds that the Cana
dian tariff against our manufactures
and the American tariff against Cana
dian products form a combination that
is to the disadvantage of the man on
the other side of the boundary. He
says eighty-one bushels of barley buys
a farmers wagon in North Dakota, and
it takes 212 bushels in Manitoba.
But the prize illustration OF what the
Canadion northwest farmer Is up
against is shown in the fact that q
Dakota farmer can buy with 500 bush
els of barley a gang plow manufac-
tured in Canada. The Manitoba farm
err has to give 100 bushels OF barley
to get the same pillow. Those conditions
are not due altogether to our tariff wall
against Canadian grains. Wheat. for
example. is worth approximately as
much in Winnipeg as in st. Paul, after
making allowance for freight.
The trouble in Canada is principally
in their own tariff wall put up to pro-
tect a few manufacturers down in On
tario. The plow manufacturers down
there, for example, having monopoly
make the western farmer pay dearly.
1t was shown during the reciprocity
campaign that eastern Canada plows
are sold in our northwest cheaper than
in Canada. Eastern Canadians, who
are so strong against reciprocity, have
the laws framed so that the American
farmer who goes over the border must
expect not only to support his family
and make profit for himself. but also
to support and make a profit for On
tario manufacturers who seem to be
even more grasping than anything we
have produced.

COAT STOLEN FROM
ACCIDENT VICTIM
POLICE SEEKING FUR GARMENT
OF JAMES ANDERSON, THE
500 BRAKEMAN.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 4.-Since the
accidental death of j. A. Anderson, the
500 brakeman who was killed in the
yards here Wednesday night it is
learned that his fur-l lined overcoat is
missing. 1t is quite generally believed
that the garment was stolen after the
accident.
1t seems that at one time Anderson
was member of the police force at
Minneapolis and the coat in question
was of the regulation style worn by the
force there and is said to be valued at
over 500.
Claim Agent Taylor has gone to
Minneapolis and while in the city will
ascertain the number of the coat when
it was issued, and if it is not found
that Anderson pawned the coat for a
time when he was pressed for funds
the police officers here will work on
the thetory that the coat was stolen
from Anderson's trunk after his death
occurred.

Deputy Secretary Of State John An

change in the March primary law
makes in the holding of city elections
