T.. Gregg, head stenographer in the Of
fee of the Storekeeper of the Santa Fe

interested in Dougherty's Shorthand

Il have been able to study only a few
minutes at spare times, perhaps in all
not more than three days, and can now
take dictation. using Dougherty's with
more speed than I could with the Gregg
System after three months study. I
can highly recommend your system to
any prospective student or others, and
especially to Gregg writer's, which sys-
tenn 1 have been writing for some time,
as the Dougherty Shorthand is easy to
learn, easy to write, and best of all,
easy to read-which you are aware is
where the most trouble is experienced
with other systems of shorthand. Fur
Their, will state that a couple of nights
ago / had three pages dictated to me,
which I wrote in DOugherty and then
read same to dictator without an error,
which is wonderful with such a few
moments study every two or three
days. as compared with other systems.
As 1 am head stenographer in this de-
partment, I feel that it will be some
encouragement to your pupils to know
that I am successfully writing your
system, which will be a reality in the
course of a few weeks

The front will be of venetian marble
in three colors. The fixtures and wood
work are of mahogany, and the cases
are of the finest type of plate glass.
The store will be the best lighted of
any shop in the city.
There are 10 handsome five-burner
chandeliers and pretty wall fixtures.
The lights are of the Mazda type.
There are portable lights for all wall
and floor showcases.
Among the features of the store are
four sound proof rooms, where talk
ing machine demonstrations will be
given, a concert hall 23x4O feet in size,
an optical room, diamond room, and
many other conveniences

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage, a Simple
Remedy For Dandruff, Falling,
Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea Of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the. age Of
seventy-five, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a sage
tea" and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble Of making it,
especially as 1t had to be made every
two or three days, on account of sour
ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome, and by asking almost any
first-class druggist for Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get superior preparation OF
sage, with the admixture of sulphur
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use OF this
preparation will not only quickly re
store the color Of the hair, but will
also stop the hair from falling out and
make 1t grow.
| Get bottle from your druggist to
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle; and II
recommended and sold by THE OWL
DRUG STORE. ..,..
