GRhNDMOTHERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
TO Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a ''sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due TO this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers in using f'sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage Of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration IS vastly superior to the ordinary
sage tea" made by our grandmother.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on 4 healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.

POSTAL CLERKS
mEETAT DECATUR
Annual Convention This Year
Expected to be Largest in
History of Organization.
IMPORTANT MATTERS UP
Expenses to be Met by Assessment of
Members Instead Of Business
Men.
IMPORTANT MATTERS UP

The annual convention of the Illinois
branch of the National Association of
Post Office Clerks will be held at De
catur tomorrow, in what is expected to
be the largest and most important
gathering in the history of the organr
cation. Edward Strate, secretary OF
the association, and Olaf Jonassen
will represent the local postoffice.
From all indications more than 100
delegates will be present at the SEES
s!ons, at which various legislative
measures and service conditions will
be discussed.
NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED.
The meet this year will differ from
all previous ones, in that the expenses
OF the convention will be met by the
clerks themselves, whereas formerly
the sessions have been financed by a
subscription from the business men of
the city securing the conven-
ton. AS the old practice was not in
accordance with the postal laws and
regulations, and has met with a pro-
test upon the part of the departmental
officials, assessments OF % cents man
have been levied against the down
state men, while Chicago has contri-
buted lump sum of $l25.
PROGRAM GOOD ONE.
The business sessions will be held
in the court house. The morning will
| be devoted to the disposal of various
| business matters. In the afternoon
| there will be a general discussion of
matters of interest regarding the
| service. The department at Washing
ton, d. c., will send a representative
who will address the men upon some
| feature of the service such as the pos
tai bank, salaries, etc. At night a
banquet will be rendered the visiting
! delegates.
| FIGHT FOR CONVENTION.
1t is understood that there are a
number of cities that will make strong
bids for the meet next year. There
is also a strong probability that Guy
c. Larkin of Streator, the incumbent
president, will be reelected.

In these days of sharp competition stores seem to be setting price above all Not so here-first of al every tailored garment must meet the Loveman, Joseph < Loeb standards of re- quirement No slipshod tailoring and de- captive material can pass muster here.
 And surely nowhere else are stocks so grand and varied as you find here. And with just as much individuality as there areain- dividual purchasers in a community are the suits that populate this store.
 And have always thought, said little visitor to our store on Opening Day, "that because your suits were so much nicer that they must necessarily be so much higher in price than anyone lse's, and now find am terribly mistaken. After going all around really believe your suits are more moderate ly priced than any l have seen. 7

And with this September Silk Sale our new and better Silk Store begins new era of economy!
 Confronted with staggering records of sales of Silk in Septembers past and gone-ambtion to bet ter the best has spurred this sale to greater plishment.
 To get cheap silks is no task. E.e market is flooded with cheap silks! But to get better silks fine silks exquisite silks-gorgeous silks that will stir the desires and compel the admiration-and to sell them for less than other stores can buy--ah! that has been the workhere splendidly performed
 You are invited, begged, beseeched, urged to come and be tempted. See the silks that are repro ductions of silks that have changed the destnies of nations. Silks the like of which have swathed the sensuous queens of the Orient, that have been the nucleus of the rise and fall of the kings of France silks that have costumed the princes of Persia and the prncesses of Japan Silks of splendor unrivaled!
