A HARMLESS WAY To
DARKEN THE HAIR
"A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair VaniSh-A
Remedy forAII HairTroubIes.

Who does not know the value Of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition I?
AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of hair, and deficiency
OF it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. Un-
qusstionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, If properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
Of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage ard
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp in clean, healthy condition.
II your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry itchy
scalp, get fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur from your druggist,
use it according to the simple directions,
and see what difference a few days
treatment will make in the appearance
of your hair.
Al druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded If the
remedy is not exactly as represented

SHERRARD YOUTH
KICKED TO DEATH

Charles Sass, Jr., of Sherrard, driv-
er in one of the mines i'm Mathersville,
was killed yesterday morning when
the mule which he was driving, kicked
him and broke his neck. The accident
occurred at 1880 yesterday morning
and the dead body of the young man
was found shortly after that by fell
low workmen. There were no eye wit
nesses, but it was plain to be seen that
the mule was the cause of death. An
inquest was held and the verdict was
in accord with those facts.
The victim of the tragedy was born
and reared in Sherrard, and had just
attained his majority. He leaves his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Sass, Sr.
three sisters and two brothers.
