GRAY HAIRS BANISHED.

Tho old idea Of using sage for darken-
ing thes'har is again coming in vogue.
Opr 'grandmothers used to have dark,
glossy hair at the age of seyenty-hye,
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 a preparation was the trouble OF
making it., especially as it had to be
made every two or three days on account
of it souring quickly. This objection has
been overcome and by asking almost
any frst-class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur the public can get a SUI
perior preparation Of sage, with the adj
mixture Of sulphur, another valuable rem
edy 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 hair from falling out
and make it grow. 1t is sold by all

BANKS
POPULARITY
(By Leased Wire.)

Washington, Jan. 26 Reports from
lortysiX post offices in which postal
savings banks have been established
have greatly encouraged Postmaster
General Hitchcock. There is a steady
growth in the popularity of the
banks.
The postmaster at Carthage, Mo-
reports a steady increase in the mum
Der of depositors Ihe rule of the
department is not to divulge the
amount Of deposits
Without exception the postmast-
ers report the receipt Of many de-
posits by mail, all Of which under
the regulations, are promptly return
ed, with a statement that depositOrs
must appear in person and establish
identification. Many postmasters re-
port offers of deposits several times
the maximum allowed by the law An
Idaho minr wanted to deposit $1,800.
He was told that 500 was the limit
that could be received at one time
and that not more than $500 could be
deposited The miner left 800 and
came back the following month with
the same amount Meanwhile, the
other $1,000 has gone into hiding,
One Deposition Was Afraid
Up to date there is but one instance
where a deposition has become fright
ened and asked for the return OF his
money. He came into Western
town from his farm and deposited 500
Three DAYS later he drew il out a
few days deposited 500 Three days
alterward he again withdrew his de-
posit The clerk asked the reason
and he said
I'm kind Of skcery and lust want
ed TO see if I could gel my money
back if put il in here"
Owing to the fact that so many re.
quests have been made to permit the
deposit OF larger amounts than the
law allows, it is probable the post
master general win recommend the
maximum of $500 be considerably in
creased. 1t is disclosed that many
persons have in hiding much more
than $500 which they are willing to
lend the government at per cent in
terest
Mr.. Hitchcock hopes to obtain from
congress at this session an apprO
priation that will permit the estab
ishment of many more banks. Uuti
mately, postal banks will be estab
lished in all sections

RATLEDGE SYSTEM OF CHIROPRACTIC SCHOOLS

This school needs 1000 intelligent meu
and women to supply the demand which
is ever increasing In ratio with the
knowledge OF this wonderful science. We
are daily receiving inquiries about the
nearest Chiropractor and when one can
be secured In the various communities.
Is 1t true that Chiropractors get great
er results than practitioners Of other
methods? Make comparison. Out OF
over four thousand cases since Jan. 20,
1908 In Guthrie. only four have been
fatal, three Of these beign tuberculosis.
The cases handled have been varied, iu-
cluding all the infection and contagious
diseases to which this country is subject,
and nearly all tho diseases named by
the medical world.
Is II a lucrative professlonf Make q
comparison. 500 per month Is better
than tho average salary. $500 per
month Is the mininr am charge for Chi
ropractic adjustments, four patients
bring from $500 up, and they can De had
at any town OF postoffice and store. Our
graduates are making as high as $500
