propriations were made thereafter
from time to time and beginning with
1873 and continuing till the present
time the state has levied an annual
tax on all taxable property in the
state for the support OF the university,
first at rate of 1-2O of MILL then
l-.6, then IA and finally SIS OF a mill
which yields $4,000 per annum. To
this is added about $4,000 interest on
the fund derived from the sale OF the

total income at the present time of

for the purpose of comparison with

remaining on hand, which is less than

have enjoyed the privileges of the

Sulphur is a natural element Of hair,
and a deficiency of it in the hair Is

mature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, If properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York put out an ideal prepare
ton of this kind. called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in
which Sage and Sulphur are com
bined with other valuable remedies
for keeping the hair and scalp in
clean, healthy condition.
