RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
Sage and Sulphur Remedy For Faded
and Gray Hair.

Inc old idea of using Sage for dark
en1ng the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark.
glossy hair at seVenty-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are fifty.
Our grandmothers kept their hair
soft and glossy with Sage Tea. I"
which also restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a preD-
aratlon was the trouble of making if.
This objection has been overcome bv
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, com
blned with Sulphur and other valuable
remedies for dandruff, itching scalp,
and thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than any,
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
few days; and don't be tormented with
dandruff, itching scalp and loose, fall
ing hairs. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy will quickly correct
these troubles, and give colo~,
strength and beauty to your hair.

druggist today, and prove this 10
your own satisfaction. All druggists

money will be refunded if the remedy
is not exactly as represented. Murray

COTTON MARKET

An advance of a half dozen points
in the futures market yesterday gave
steadiness to the local trade and in
creased the demand for spot cotton
in the Americas market, where 10 1-2
cents is paid readily for the finer
grades. There is a more active de-
mand recently for the poorer grades
as well, and warehousemen find less
difficulty than heretofore in effecting
sales At the close yesterday May
contracts were quoted at 1856 cents
and July at 1886. Local warehouse
receipts were SO bales, while total
receipts to date are 46,553 bales.

Much was made in the newspapers
some years ago of the part bad eyes
have played in the lives of great must

many portraits. notably the Lenbach
paintings of Richard Wagner. in which
one eye droops and is surrounded by
concentric wrinkles of pain. The great
composers sick headache and insom-
mia. his shattered nerves and fits OF
violent temper, were attributed to eye
strain. The diagnosis has since been
accepted by his biographer. Ellis. him

elusive cases have been made out 10

Eliot, Browning. the Carlyles, Darwin.
Huxley, Herbert Spencer, BalZac,

others.
The straining Of the nervous system
due to defective vision is TO be found
among all who use their eyes in work
near at hand. The eye of genius" is
as common among typesetters and
proofreaders. reporters and typewrit-
ers, boOkkeepers. lathe workers and
seamstresses as among the master
spirits Of music and letters. 1t is. in
fact, more common. for whereas the
