bad Judgment on balls and strikes.

leave the box because he was not get

The couple were married in Mag

June, 1909, when the wife is said to
have been entangled with the admira-

without giving her husband any no

OLD.TIME REMEDY
DARkENS THE HAIR
Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and Gray
Hair-Dandruff Quickly
Removed.

From the immemorial, sage and sui
phur have been used for the hair and
scalp. Almost everyone knows of the
value of such a combination for dark
ening the hair, for curing dandruff and
falling hair. and for making the hair
grow.
In olden times the only way to get
hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, method
which was troublesome and not always
satisfactory. Nowadays almost every
up-to-date druggist can supply his pa
irons with a ready-to-use product, skill
fully compounded in perfectly
equipped laboratories. The Wyeth
Chemical Company of New York put
up an ideal remedy of this sort, called
| Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair RENE
| dy, and authorize druggists to sell it
under guarantee that the money will
be refunded if it fails to do exactly
as represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by The Ow
Drug Store.

Let Our Stock Men Act
Upon This Matter.

! Columbia, Mo-, Dec. 2, 1911.
| Notice to Cattlemen; - While
attending meeting of the U. S.
Association Of Live Stock Sani-
tary Boards in Chicago on the
9th and 9th inst, | propose to
take up with the government off,
cials the matter of getting the
greater part Of Ripley county re-
leased from the Texas fever quar-
antine. In order that all those
interested in the cattle industry
in Ripley county may understand
the situation thoroughly wish to
make the following explanations:
Practically all Of the ticky cat
tie found during the past summer
are located in township %, range
l east, and township 90, range 2
east. ! will attemp! to secure an
agreement with the Federal de-
partment of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture 10 the effect that
only these two congressional
townships will be left in quarsn-
tine next year. In order to con-
troll the movement of cattle out
side OF these two congressional
townships we will aim to place
each lot which have been found
ticky since September 1stin quar-
antine on the owners premises.
The order Of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture changing |
this quarantine and releasing the
balance of Ripley county will
likely be msde some time ia
March. 1t will probably depend |
a good deal upon the actions OF
cattlemen outside Of these two
congressional townships. | am
certain that ii would help a good |
deal in getting the balance of the
county released il oil the cattle
men outside of the two above
mentioned congressional town.
ships will work together and en-
force the regulations preventing |
the movement OF cattle from the
quarantine area, and also see
that the farm quarantine served
outside these two townships are
strictly obeyed. A little neglect
on the part Of cattlemen outside
OF these townships in allowing |
cattle 10 drift or be driven out Of
the quarantine area will soon re-
suit in other parts of the county
going back into quarantine. In
short, it will take the active sup
port Of all cattlemen in the free
area in holding the line until the
owners Of cattle in this quaran-
tined area get rid of the Texas
fever ticks on their range.
| am reasonably certain that
some sort Of an organization on
the part Of the cattlemen in the
area that is proposed to remove
from quarantine and an agree
ment on their part 10 hold the
newly established quarantine line
win help considerably towards
getting the release and may be
enacted by The officials OF The U. |
s.. Department OF Agriculture.
The matter will have to be left
largely with the cattlemen OF Rip
ley county. Now is the proper
time for them to show some &C.
tivity in their own behalf.
Yours respectfully.
