RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage, a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
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
grandmothers used to make a sage
tea" and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color.
One objection to using such prep
aration was the trouble of making il.
especially as It had TO be made every
two or three days, on account OF
souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome, and by asking almost
any first class druggist for Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy the
public can get a superior preparation
az sage, with the admixture OF SUI
phur. 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 air from falling
out and make it grow.
Get a bottle from your druggist To-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray airs
vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

ALL YOU NEED IS A
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious
Stomach, Coated Tongue or
COnStipated Bowels by
Morning

Turn the rascals out--thc head
ache. the biliousness. the indigestion,
the sick, sour stomach aud foul gases
turn item out tonight and keep
them out fifth Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take n
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver. clogged bowels or an hpset
stomach.
Don't put IN another day Of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and
regulate your stomach: remove the
sour. undigested and fernsnnting food
and that misery-making gas; take the
excess bile from your liver and carry
out of the system all the decomposed
waste matter and poison in the in
testines and bowels. Then you will
feel great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store means a clear
head and cheerfulness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe
or sicken.

SHUTTING OFF COMPETITION.

Bishop Nathaniel 5. Thomas. Of wy

and endeavored to ascertain what
causes had led to the downfall Of the
various prisoners. Almost to a man
they told the Bishop that love Of drink
had put them behind the bars. This
interested him, and he asked each
prisoner for his solution of the liquor
problem, carefully tabulating the an
swers for future reference. All but
one of the prisoners announced them
selves advocates of prohibition.
One man, a lean, rugged, leather
necked convict, not yet bleached by
prison life, denounced this plan when
the Bishop suggested it to him.
The trouble with prohibition is il

Bishop Thomas, making a note of IL.

NEW OREGON PLAN.
Council Authorities Starting Up a
Chain of Municipal CO-Opera-

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. ia new
Oregon idea was born here with the
taking Of preliminary steps toward a
municipal store. The City Council
authorized Mayor Rushright to ap-
point a committee of business men to
conduct series of cooperative
shops, where the profits would be
distributed among the shareholders
the public. The plan is to sell stock
in the concern at S25 a share, with
the provision that no individual may
own more than one share. Stock
holders share pvofits and purchasers
will have deducted from their bills n
part Of the stores earnings. If the
plan succeeds here it will be es-
tablished in other Oregon cities.

WOULD FORCE WOMEN
in MILITARY SERVICE

DUSSELDORF. Germany, Dec Is
The introduction of obligatory mill
tary service for women was proposed
at meeting today of the Patriotic
Women's Union here by Privy Medical
Councillor Witzel, professor of the
Medical Academy at Dusseldorf,
The lecturer suggested that women
should be enrolled in the military
hospital transport, provisioning and
clothing services, and should be mob
ilized with the other auxiliary troops
in case of war.
The proposition has been taken up
enthusiastically by the suffragettes,
as it is regarded by them as eliminat-
ing any argument against the granting
of the franchise to women.

TURKEY PRICES LIKELY TO

Christmas turkey? This is the ques-

and. in fact, everyone who deals in
turkeys is being asked by the house
wife who expects to have this choice
fowl on the dinner table on Christ
mas day. But the answer given to
these queries has been an evasive
one, and just exactly what the price
will be is not known.
Turkeys are rather scarce in this
section and will be hard TO secure
with the result that the price will
likely soar higher than at Thanks
giving, when they sold at from 25
cents per pound dressed, up. Ono
grocer said this morning. however,
