YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A Harmless Remedy Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling Of sadness accompanies the
discovery Of the first gray hairs, which.
unfortunately, are looked upon as heralds
Of advancing age. Cray hairs, however,
are not always an indication of advanc-
ing age, for many people have gray hairs
quite early in life. OF course, it is IN
natural, and indicates that there is some
thing wrong with the individual, and that
Nature needs assistance in correcting the
trouble The same Is true Of hair that
Is consta ntly falling out and becoming
thinner every day. II everything Is right
with Nature, the hair, even In compare
lively elderly people, should be long,
thick and glossy, without even q streak
OF gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in re-
storing and preserving the hair Is Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a
clean and wholesome dressing for daily
use. 1t not only removes dandruff, but
strengthens weak, thin and falling hair
and promotes its growth. A few appli-
cations will restore faded or gray hair
to its natural color.
This preparation Is offered to tho
public ut fifty cents 4 bottle, and Is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

Matter Of Placing Side,rack Between
Mercer and McCIusky Will Be De.
cided at a Later Date.

The board Of railway and warehouse
commissioners are I.eeting at the

being several minor matters which
the board is taking up. The mem
bers of the board have just returned
