DON 7 PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications Of a Simple
Remedy win Bring Back
the Natural Color.

ttPull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Nature 8
cell for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without q
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be ifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tions to use is the old-fashioned "sage
tea which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth' g
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, at
once and see what a difference few
days' treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

BUCKAROOS TAME
BEARS YESTERDAY
BY SCORE OF Az

AS a Bear tanner, Garrett is the last

he cracked his whip AMI nine surly
Bruins sat up on their launches and,
despite their angry growls, menacing
gnashing of murderous teeth and saw
age paving of the air, he forced them

complete was his mastery that never
once was he in danger from the shag-
gy crowd.
The above paragraph is a figura-
tive way Of saying that Pendleton won
the game from Walla Walla yester-
day. The figure is used In order that
the shock of victory following a sue
cession of defeats may be minimized
as much as possible. The score was
1 to 2, no more and no less.
Garrett was in invincible form and
a defeat was hardly possible save by
the poorest kind of support. Though
that accorded him was not of the gilt
edge variety neither was it of the
smelly kind and while it was respon-
sible for one of the two runs, it also
prevented several bad situations.
On the other hand, the support
given Pittman was sad indeed and
his teammates share equally with him
the responsibility of defeat. He per-
mitted two of the runs and they the
other two.
The Buckarooes PUT the game on ice
in the first inning. RAIDER drew four
wide ones and Robinson laid down a
sacrifice which, however, didn't Kill
