2 OTucTANA BY GEORGE FITCH
- gz go Author OF AT Good Old Siwasb'

T OUISIANA is. a naturalized mem
Der of the United States, having
- immigrated from France in 1903.
1t still has strong French accent and
is full of rivers, towns, and citizens
whose names cannot be pronounced with
out the assistance of the shoulders and
eyebrows.
Louisiana consists largely of the ter
minal facilities of the Mississippi river
and in fact has been made by this river
during its idle moments during the last
few million years. 1t is the only state
which is growing in size as well as pop
ulation. 1t has only 1900 square miles,
but is large for its age, having acquired
several counties in the last few centuries
by the growth of the delta country.
Louisiana was discovered by the Span
ish, settled by the French, captured by
the English, ceded back to the French,
bought by the United States, converted
by the eonfederaey, and finally hauled
back into the union by the scruf of the
neck and Ben Butler. It has lived under
five flags and for a time the cautious
man didn't hang cut the flag of his eoun-
try until he looked into the newspaper
and found out what his country was
that day.
Louisiana u one of our national
curiosities. 1t has the only elevated
river system in the country, the Missis-
sippi flowing through it so far above
the land that the careless citizen has
to climb up to it on a ladder in order
to fall in. Louisiana has more miles of
navigable rivers than it has railroads.
1t has parishes instead of counties. 1t
has more pine land than cotton land,
more swamps than farms, more mon
sieurs than misters, and more steamboats,
than automobiles.
In Louisiana the society people live
in the country and the rustics gawk
at them from the streets of the cities.

The ram was on his feet instantly,

YOUR CRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
"A Harmless Remedy, Made
from Garden Sage, Restores
Color to Gray Hair.

A feeling of sadness accompanies the
discovery of the first gray hairs which
unfortunately are looked upon as heralds
of advancing age. Gray hair, however
handsome it may be, makes a person
look old. We all know the advantages
of being young. Aside from the good
impression youthful appearance makes
on others, simply knowing that you are
'1ooking ft' gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. So
why suffer the handicap of looking old
on account of gray hairs, when simple
remedy will give your hair youthful
color and beauty in few days time :?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmothers
used "Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
we have an ideal preparation of Sage,
combined with Sulphur and other valua-
bic remedies for dandruff, itching scalp
and thin, weak hair that is split at the
ends or constantly coming out. A few
applications of this valuable remedy
will bring back the color, and in short
time it will remove every trace of dam
druff and greatly improve the growth
and appearance of the hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the difference
in your hair after few days treat
ment- All druggists sell it, under guar
antee that the money will be refunded If
the remedy is not exactly as represented.
