A HARMLESS way TO
DARkEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
for All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condi-
ton? AS a matter of fact, sulphur
is natural element of hair, and a
deficiency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connect
ed with loss of color and vitality OF
the hair. Unquestionably, there is
no better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray
ness, than sage and sulphur, if prop
erly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company of New York put up an
ideal remedy of this kind, called wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,
and authorize druggists to sell it UNI
der guarantee that the money will be
refunded if it fails to do exactly as
represented
If you have dandruff, or if your
hair is thin or turning gray, get a
bottle of this remedy from your drug
gist today, and see what it will do
for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP
SUFFERERS AND MEN WHO'S
HAIR IS Trimmings.

Dandruff now-bald later. The
same is true of scalp diseases. In
fact badness is scalp disease. The
trouble with the greasy salves and
lotions, the so-called dandruff and
scalp cures you have tried so far is
that they don't do anything but tenn
porarily relieve the itching and cake
the dandruff so it doesn't fall until
it's dried out again Nothing can
cure-really cure such troubles but
a real scalp medicine that will kill
the germs causing dandruff and scalp
disease. -.
Learning from leading fellow
druggists throughout America that
they had found whirlWind cure for
dandruff, eczema and all diseases Of
the skin and scalp the City Drug
Store on proving to the laboratories
compromising the treatment that it
is the most prominent drug store in
this city secured the agency for the
remedy. This remedy is ZEMO, the
clean, liquid preparation that kills
the germ of disease and ZEMO SOAP
to wash the scalp or skin clear and
clean of the dandruff or scale and by
it's antiseptic qualities soothe and
heal.

Corporation Directors Want Their
Riqhts and Usually Get Them.


"A large corporation held directors
meeting a few days ago. AS the meet
ing was coming to close one Of the
directors. reputed to be worth $1O.O00,-
900, ran in all out Of breath. Just as
he entered the other directors were
making their exit. says the Hartford
Courant.

shouted to the chairman. Il want to
know why I haven't received notice of
this meeting"
II am sure I don't know" the chair
man said. Notices were sent to all
directors. You surely must have re-
ceived one"
The director finished up an excited
TRADE by saying. Il want my rights"
Just then the secretary was brought
into conference. who in turn handed
the late director an envelope. He de-
parted with smiling countenance.
This recalls the story Of a New York
corporation where 500 for each director
was laid on the table and those who

pocketed the money, forgetting to &C
count to the owners for the sums they
brought. The dealers demanded resti-
tuition or a settlement and Underwood,
dreading exposure, had to hustle
around to raise enough money to
make up the deficiency In order to
avoid prosecution. In this way he
lived from day to day borrowing from
Peter to settle with Paul, and on one
ashamed to borrow from Mrs. Jeffries
herself.
Alicia lent the money more because
she feared ridicule than from any real
desire to oblige Underwood. She had

plainly revealed to her. He was an
adventurer. little better than COM
mon crook. She congratulated her
self on her narrow escape. Suppose
she had married him-the horror OF
it! Yet the next instant she was
filled with CONSERVATION. She had
allowed him to become so intimate
that it was difficult to break off with
him all at once. She realized that
with a man of that character the in
evitable must come. There would be
diegraceful scandal. She would be
mixed up in it, her husbands eyes
would be opened to her folly, it might
ruin her entire life. She must end 1t
now-once for all. She had already
given him to understand that their
intimacy must cease. Now he must
stop his visits to her house and de-
sist from trapping her friends into his
many schemes. She had written him
that morning forbidding him to come
to the house this evening. She was
done with him forever.
These thoughts were responsible for
the frown on the beautiful Mrs. JEFF
fries bejeweled brow that particular
Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh
and was drawing on her long kid
gloves before the glass, when sudden
ly a maid entered and rendered her
mistress a note. Alicia knew the
handwriting only too well. She tore
the letter open and read:
Dear Mrs. Jeffries: / received your let

house tonight would be distasteful to
you. AS YOU can imagine. ii was a great
shock. Don't you understand the harm

gave the intrigue additional Zest and
charm. She did not lead Underwood
to believe that he could induce her to
forget her duty to Mr.. Jeffries, but
she was foolish enough to encourage
dangerous intimacy. She thought
she was strong enough to be able to

guessed how unhappy she was. She
knew that by her own indiscretion she
was in danger of losing all she had
won. her position in society. her place
in the affections of her husband,
everything.
When she married Mr.. Jeffries it
was with deliberate calculation. She
did not love him, but. being ambitious,
she did not hesitate to deceive him.
He was rich, he could give her that
prominent position in society for
which she yearned. The fact that
she was already engaged to a man for
whom she did care did not deter her
for a moment from her set purpose.
She had met Robert Underwood years
before. He was then a college boy,
tall, handsome, clever She fell in
love with him and they became en-
gagged. AS she grew more sophisticat-
ed she saw the folly of their youthful
infatuation. Underwood was without
fortune, his future uncertain. While
in this uncertain state of mind she
met Mr.. Jeffries, then a widower, at
a reception. The banker was attract
ed to her and being business man
he did things quickly. He proposed
and was accepted, all in the brief
time of-five minutes. Robert Under
wood and the romance of her girlhood
were sacrificed without question when
it came to reaching prompt decision.
She wrote Underwood a brief letter
of farewell telling him that the action
she had taken was really for the best
interests of them both. Underwood
made no reply and for months did not
attempt to go near her. Then he met
her in public. There was a reconcilia-
ton. lie eXerted the old spell-on the
married woman. Cold and Indifferent

ing to have her old lover paying her
court and the danger of discovery only

DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS
Practice Has Been Known to Cause
Acute Inflammation Of tho
Tongue.

Do the people who jeer at the eau
tious ones who refuse to lick a post
age stamp as 'cranks" know that there
is defined disease known as the
postage stamp tongue?"
This is an acute inflammation OF the
tongue. directly traced to the germs to
be found on the gummed side OF stamp
or envelope.
Other and more serious diseases
have been caused by this habit that Is
so universal and seems so harmless.
One throat specialist In a hospital
declares that many chronic affections
of the throat are found among persons
who have as their livelihood the ad-
dressing and stamping of envelopes.
Bad skin diseases have ben known
to follow this habit. and 1t has even
caused pulmonary troubles.
II is after all but habit. and bad
one. 1t takes 70 more time and Is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with damp sponge or rag.
Where many letters must be
stamped and sealed there are good pa
tent inventions by which the sponge
is kept moist.

Alicia's face flushed with anger.
Turning to the maid, she said:
There's no answer"
The girl was about TO close the
door when her mistress suddenly re.
called her.
Wait a minute" she said; "Ill
write line"
Taking from her dainty escritoire a
sheet of perfumed notepaper, she
wrote hurriedly as follows:
"If you dare TO come near my house
tonight [ will have you put out by the
servants"
Quickly folding the note. she
crushed it into an envelope sealed it.
handed it to the girl and said:
Give that to the messenger"
The servant disappeared and Alicia
resumed her work of drawing on her
gloves in front OF her mirror. How
dare he write her such letter? Was
her house to be made the headquar-
ters for his swindling schemes? Did
he want to cheat more of her friends I?
The more she thought of all he had
done, the angrier she became. Her
eyes flashed and her bosom heaved
with Indignation. She wondered
what her husband. the soul of honor,
would say II he suspected that she
had permitted man of Underwood's
character to use his home for his dis.
honest practices. she was glad she
