TEA WILL
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
a simple Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull. faded or
streaked appearance, they made a brew
of Sage leaves and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
Is done by sklllful chemists better than
we could do 1t ourselves: and all we
have to do is to call for the ready-made
product, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy. containing Sage in the
proper strength. with the addition of
Sulphur. another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
druff, dry, feverish. itching scalp. and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today. and YOU will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell 1t, under guarantee that
the money Will be refunded II the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

and Finds Sister

John H. Sullivan, city sealer of weights
and measures, is heir to a fortune left
by his aunt, Mrs. Johanna Sullivan,
who died in New York city last month.
What interests the official even more
than the money he will receive is the
fact that for the first time in thirty
six years, with three other member of
the family who live in the Bronx, he
has met his sister, Frances, who came
from Quebec. Canada, for her share
in the estate.
1t was on Independence Day. 1876, the
date of his mothers funeral, that his
sister departed for Brooklyn and thence
to California. All track of her was lost
until recently, when she was located in
he Canadian capital. The reunion took
place in the ~surrogate's office in the
metropolis today.
The others mentioned in the will are
James Sullivan, brother of the city seal
err; Miss Josephine Sullivan and Mrs.
Minnie Myerhof, sisters of the local Of
fetal; John ]. Frank and Mrs. Julia Reilly,

e52 delegates TO the Democratic State
convention, which meets tomorrow,
friends of Representative James NJ. Cox,
of Dayton, leading gubernatorial candi'
date, predict his nomination on the first
ballot.
The national issues that may be placed
In the platform include Endorsement OF

ton Of senator's, railway rate regulation
and further parcels post legislation. Rep
resentative Cox expects the convention
will indorse the Democratic Congress.
State Insurance Commissioner e. H.
Moore, who is looking after Governor
Harmon's interests, today claimed 500
votes for the adoption of the unit rule,
which would send the entire Ohio dele
cation to the Baltimore convention in
structed for Governor Harmon.
Some talk has developed among the
politicians and delegates already here
that the convention may make no noml-
nations for judge of the Supreme Court,
but allow selection by non-partisan d.
rect petitions.
A plan to choose twelve delegates-at-
large to the national convention, each
credited with half a vote, instead OF six
delegates-at-large, is being discussed.
This is urged for the purpose of allowing
Z division of the vote In districts where
Harmon won the preferential vote but
where a Wilson district delegate was
elected.

centres of much interest. One is Prince
Henry of Reuss and the other Is Prince
Christian. Prince Henry, however, is
not the same who visited the United
