There is nothing new about the idea
OF using sage for restoring the color of
the hair. Our great grandmothers kept
their locks soft. dark and glossy bv
using sage tea Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull faded or
streaked appearance they made brew
OF sage leaves and applied it to their
hair, with wonderfully beneficial effect
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
old-tiine. tiresome methods of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
Is done by skillful chemists better
than We could do it ourselves, and all
We have TO do Is to call for the ready
made product, Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy. containing sage in
the proper strength. with the addition
OF sulphur, another old-time scalp
remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists 10 sell il under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if il fails TO do exactly as
represented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur

few days use.
This preparation is offered 10 the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and Is

SENATOR RAYNER
. OF MARYLAND DIED
THIS MORNING
Was One of the Striking and
Influential Members of
the Senate.
PLACE MAY Be FILLED BY
APPOINTMENT OF A REPUBLICAN
Legislature is Democratic But Docs
Not Meet Until Next Year so that
Appointee VIII Serve THROUGH the
Special Session Next Spring.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Isa-
dor Rayner of Maryland, one of the
leading democratic members of the
united States senate and man whose
name was offered to the Baltimore
convention by William Jennings
Bryan as a suitable candidate for the
presidential nomination. died here
early today at the end of a long ILL
ness resulting from continued at.
Lacks OF neuritis. Senator Rayner
nad been in comatose state since last
Wednesday with only one or two slight
raiiies. His severe illness covered a
period Of about six weeks, dating
from the efforts he made In the Joint
political debate with Bourke Coch-
ran at Baltimore late in September
His physicians compelled him to re-
tire from the campaign at once aft
er that and he returned to his Wash
ington home where he died at $3.50
o'clock this morning. For over five
years Senator Rayner has been a suf-
rerer from neuritis. the attacks often
making MS work arduous and painful
His death creates a vacancy In the
senate that probably be filled by re-
publican through the appointment by
Governor Gainsborough. While the
legislature Of that state is democratic
1t does not meet this winter. and the
republican governors appointment
will hold through the opening sessions
Of the next congress.
Senator Rayner was one Of the
striking figures Of the senate. He had
been a member of that body for al
most eight years and was one Of its
strongest debaters and recoKnized
authority on matters of constitutional
law.
Before he entered congress he at.
tanned a national reputation because
Of his vigorous conduct Of the late
Admiral schley's case before the naval
court of inquiry that investigated the
action of American officers in the bat.
tie with Admiral Cervera's Spanish
fleet. He was SO years old.
The control of the United Statel
senate after March I may hinge or
the death Of Senator Rayner. His re-
publican successor, who 1t is EXPECT
cd Governor Goldsborough will ap-
point. will hold office until the Mary
land legislature meets in January
1914.
Senator Rayner's death removes one
of the democrats on whom the con-
troll Of the senate depended in the
new congress. The democrats still
have apparently 4S out Of a total of Sc
