her fiftieth year behind the footlights

Sharpe in Our American Cousin" at
Ford Theatre, Washington, D. c., the
night of President Lincoln's assassi-
nation, April .14th, 1865 which is now
over forty-four years ago.
She tells of that awful night, how
the shot was heard, most of the audi
ence thinking it was part of the play
at first. How Booth jumped from the
presidential box, caught his spur il

the stage, breaking his leg. Then thr
vast audience rose in a body, rushed

troubles. Almost everyone knows TIE

curing dandruff, itching scalp and fall
ng hair, and for promoting the growth
of the hair. Years ago the only way to
get hair tonic of this kind was 10

troublesome and not always satisfac-
tory. Nowadays, almost any up-to-
date druggist can supply his patrons

An ideal preperation of this sort is

combined with other valuable RENE
dies for scalp troubles and thin, weak
hair that is losing it's color or coming
ont. After using this remedy for a
few days, you will notice the color
gradually coming back, your scalp will
feel better, the dandruff will soon ne
gone, and in less than a months time
there will be wonderful difference il
your hair.
Don't neglect your hair if it is fuU
of dandruff. losing its color or com
ing out. Get a fifty cent bottle OF
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur from you
druggist, and see what a few days
treatment will do for you All drug
gists sell it, under guarantee that tn.
money will be refunded if the remedy
is not exactly as represented. Murra!

FOLKS PAST FIFTY
MUST use CASCARETS
What Glasses Are to Weak Eyes. cas
earets Are TO Weak Bowels
1o-eent Box Will Truly
Amaze You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help. else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. IL is just
as natural as IL is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This Is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age Is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
OF the old need is a gentle and ma.
tural tonic One that can be con-
stantly used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cost
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you sleep.

At of elements for this season OF the

changed his tenor about noon, when
IL almost became semi-dark. After

rain and a hailstorm. just above the

age TO growing crops in the Warwood
vicinity and destroying many private
gardens and flower beds. The hail
was the most Obstructive that has
visited that section for years, but
only extended over Greater Warwood
