IS NO LONGER PUT FIRST
Much Truth About Health In Article
That Probably 10 Meant to
Be Humorous.

Health 10 a matter which was once
very popular. but 1t has long since
grown into disfavor. In these strenu-
Gus days the securing OF health con
sumes altogether too much time. IL
cannot be acquired without detention
from business. Not only does 1t In
terfere with business, but with pleas
ure as well.
Health requires too much sleep, too
much fresh air, too much food of a vul-
gar simplicity and too many clothes
which are more comfortable than
stylish. Health Is like anything else.
In order to have 1t NJ must give at
tention to securing its@but when the
securing Of money engrosses all of
ones time, manlfestly health must
take a back seat. We still have tradi-
lions about health much like the ira
ditions about the soul, but these take
q secondary place. Doctors. like min
listers, are called In only when 1t Is too
late.
Health made a manful struggle for
supremacy with bank balances, but 1t
lost out.-Life.

JOE E. HEDGES
WILL BE HERE
Republican Nominee for Gov.
ernor to Speak.

Job E. Hedges, candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket, will
speak at the German Club rooms,
Stapleton, tomorrow night. He will
also be at the Cosmopolitan Hall, the
same evening.
He will be accompanied by James
w. Wadsworth, candidate for lieuten-
ant governor and other prominent
speakers.
The local candidate will be present
as will also President Cromwell. Mr..
Hedges has been making a whirlwind
campaign up the state and has been
received with reclamation every
where. He is easily the best and
most popular speaker now before the
public.
Mr.. Hedges was born in Elipabeth,
N. j., on May 10, 1862. His parents
were Major Job Clark Hedges ana
Elizabeth Wood Elmer. They moved
to Dansville, In Lexington county,
New York, the domain Of the Wads-
worths and the home Of James w.
Wadsworth, Jr., who Is now Mr..
Hedges running mate. His father
was killed before Petersburg in the
civil wal as major of the Fourteenth
New York heavy artillery. Mr..
Hedges is a member of the orders Of
Sons of the American Revolution and
Sons of Veterans.
Mr.. Hedges is a lawyer and occu-
pies high rank at the bar. He is a
veteran campaigner and knows how
to present a question so that 1t will
be understood.
Mr.. Hedges is best known as a pub
lie speaker. His faculty of present
ing questions In a humorous light has
given to him a wide reputation as a
humorist and he Is In great demand
as an after dinner speaker. Like
many humorists, his c~ountenance is
grim and ever sardonic. In figure
and general appearance he bears
some resemblance to President Nc
Kinley. He is remarkably quick in
debate and he never loses his pres
ence of mind before an audience.
More than once this faculty of quick
thinking and his knowledge OF hui
man nature have saved a difficult sit
uation.
1t has not often fallen to his lot,
however, to beat the brunt Of stating
and u%pholding the main issues of the
campaigns In which he has partici-
pated. This has usually been left to
the candidate himself, and Mr..
Hedges has been called upon to act as
a foil. Nevertheless he has been able
to drive home some telling argu-
ments.
Mr.. Hedges is a devoted admirer Of
baseball and all out door sports.
Strange as 1t may seem, he has many
warm friends and admirers among
the most ardent Democrats, and his
friends predict that he will receive
many Democratic votes, especially in
New York city.

DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
for All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy and in
good condition? AS a matter of fact,
Sulphur Is a natural element of hair,
and a deficiency of it in the hair is
held by many scalp specialists to be
connected with loss of color and
vitality of the hair. Unquestionably,
there is no better remedy for hair
and scalp troubles, especially pre-
mature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, II 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.
II your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or If you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist. use it according to the
simple directions, and see what a
difference a few days treatment will
make in the appearance of your
hair.
All druggists sell 1t under guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
II the remedy is not exactly as repre-
scented.
