THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF ACE.
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care OF the
hair. to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is Just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
Imetics and creams to improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
Suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? Of the two, 1t Is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than 1t Is TO have
good complexion.
= All that is necessary is the occasional
use OF Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few applications
of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color, in a short time the dan
druif win be removed, and your hair
will o longer come out but will start to
crow as Nature intended it should.
D Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar YOUR good looks. You can buy

Although Zip Wyatt, former mem

died in the county iail at Enid, late
in the nineties, Yet there is an opin-
ion among a great many people OF the
Cherokee Strip country that Wyatt is

This opinion, according 10 Major
Hugh Scott receiver Of the Guthrie
land office is based on the fact that
Wyatt's grave was empty when il was
opened several years ago Wyatt had
been captured near Harrod in south

later il was announced that he died

however, that Wyatt escaped from

In taking Wyatt the posse shot
him through one Of his legs and
wounded him severely. He was asleep

PRESIDENT FIRST FOR

: 1000 delegates TO the National Rivers
aANd Aarbors Congress that he. per-
SO aally, was opposed to any scheme
OF Improvement for the Mississippi
ri ser which did not contemplate, as
primary object, the prevention Of
floods
Tha President made the opening
address at the congress. He favored
the expenditure by the United States
Government and the States in the
Mississippi Valley of between $4O.-
O0O, 900 and 500, O00,e0 for the Mis-
sissippi improvements He declared
further that his endorsement OF ina
DroveHent would be forthcoming only
If the work were placed in the hands
OF army engineers. So far as other
waterway projects were concerned.
the President said, his approval would
be lacking. Mnless their hackers could
show as good a case and as dire
necessity as could the Mississippi Val
ley States.
Many OF the delegates were startled
BY the Presidents speech. So far as
they knew, it was che first time he
had recommended appropriations for
waterway improvements contingent
upon food prevention.
