SAGE TEA WILL
'DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural CoIor--Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our gI'andmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use OF
a simple "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 have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method 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 readv-made
product, Wyeth's Sage and SULPHUR
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one Of
the best remedies you can use for dan
drutf, dry, feverish, itching scalp. and
falling hair. Get fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the quick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded il the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

CASE ST|RS
NEW YORK; POLITICS
ENTER IN

New York.-The scandal which has
been revived In the police departn ent
by the assassination Of Herman
ago. has affected more people, perhaps
In more ways than the average per-
son would imagine. For instance,
there are those who claim that it has
put an end to the chances of Mayor
Gaynor of being made the nominee Of
the democrats for governor OF the
state. And there are those who go so
far as to say that 1t was providential
that the mayor was not named at
Baltimore, else the partys chances
would have been irreparably damaged
by the tragedy. Just why the mayor
should be held responsible to the ex-
tent Of having his political hopes-if
he really entertained them-blasted,
Is more than can be explained easily.
When his honor expressed himself in
the matter Of the scandal alleging to
connect the police department and
gambling fraternity in unlawful COM
bination, he said that he was Shock
ed because Lieut.. Becker. around
whom the scandal centers, could have
dined with such a scoundrel as Ros-
enthal, the murdered gambler" one
of the leading newspapers took OK
ception TO Mayor Gaynor's expression
stating that he did not have such a
proper appreciation Of the gravity of
the situation, else he would have been
shocked at the crime rather than at
any action of Becker's. The thought
has carried to a greater extent than
was imagined II would be possible
and now the poor mayor will have to
be content with serving out his term
and curb ambitions for higher office.
At least that is what some folks say.
There are hundreds of thousands Of
people in New York who use only
milk as sold in the small grocery and
delicantessen stores, known as dipped
milk. There reason for using the flu
i'd in this way is because 1t is cheaper.
But new dipped milk, like the bot
tied kind. has advanced in price and
cries of protest are being raised by
the poor all over the city, especially
on the East side. Milk which has
been sold at five cents quart is to
cost six cents In the near future One
Of the strange features in connection
with the advance is that 1t will not
affect bottled milk. In fact they are
going to use more OF the dipped milk
for the bottle trade and as there will
be a decreased amount of the "loose"
fluid. the price will be raised.

Well. Mrs. Belmont has started In
to make fashionable Newport sit up
and take notice. She has invaded the
very heart of elitedom and established
suffrage headquarters there-some-
thing that has heretofore not been
done. She has succeeded in interest
ing the larger number of the women
of wealth and fashion in the suf-
frage cause. The natives" are also
wondering what is going to happen

House and lady of fashion they are
all familiar with but this Mrs. Bel
mont who has opened up a small Of

their midst they do not understand. It
all promises excitement, however, and
excitement is what keeps Newport go-
Ing in the summer, so the native is
satisfied.

cussion will center around the land
question which is indicated partly by
the fact that only the executives OF
those states having public lands are
invited TO participate. In the tour
made by the Western Governors Spec
lal 1t was discovered that not all the
governors think alike on this uues-
tion and that wide divergence of op-
inion could be looked for whenever
they should assemble for the discus
sion Of the different points at issue.
Many of these now holding governor
ships are well known nationally and
nave been participants in the develop
ment of the public land policy of the
national government, either In the
way of assisting or fighting against
that policy as 1t now stands. Cover
nor JOS. NJ Carey wrote and intro
duced the well known Carey Act when
he was In the United States senate
and Governor John f. Shafroth was in
congress when the first reclamation
act was passed. Governor John
Burke of North Dakota has been
/
six years and was In the saddle when
these questions We're in their early
stages. Governor James II. Hawley
of Idaho is one of the leading attor-
neys of that state and known as the
expert Of the northwest on irrigation
and public land law

represents state in which practically
none of the government funds for re-
clamatlon have been expended and
the people of which want to know
why New Mexico and Arizona are
not old enough in statehood to have
had much experience but will listen
with attention to the experiences Of
their sister states and no doubt will
develop some original ideas. Some Of
the governors have wide regulations
as fighters Governor Edwin l. Nor
ris has way Of making it known
that he believes in his own judgment
and will fight for the same until there
Is no hope. He is a very forceful
speaker. uses no extra words but talks
like sledge hammer and pounds
his ideas into his listeners. He also
has some thoughts on the public land
question which will arouse a great
deal Of sympathy and meet with the
endorsement of many people.
The political complexion of the con-
ference will be various There will be
members of old and new parties and
some who are almost without par
ty. II is freely felt. however. that
all political feelings will be dropped
and the different questions assigned
to the governors taken up with the
sole idea OF casting as much light up
on them as possible
The governors will be well enter
tained during their stay in the capital
OF Idaho. Governor Hawley will start
the social features with a dinner at
the executive mansion and every eve-
ming will be filled after that. The
special train will carry the governors
to the great Shoshone Falls, Thous-
and Springs. Twin Falls. the Red Fish
Lakes, where they will see and enjoy
the rugged scenery of the west at its
very best.

They are going to wage war against
New York next month. It will, of
course be a mimic war, but prepar-
ations for the event have created a
great deal OF interest here. Twenty
thousand men including regular
troops and militia, will endeavor to
defend and invade the city, when a
theoretical battle will be fought at a
point near Hartford, CT. having. in
the minds of the army officers, strate-
gic value. In the war game it Is as
sumed that the American fleet has
been defeated by the enemy's fleet in
the Atlantic and that under convoy
OF a victorious fleet a body of hostile
troops has landed in Connecticut. An
American army, hurriedly mobilized
in New England of regulars and mi
litia, has been hurled against the en-
emy. but decisively beaten and COM
ponent parts of it driven back toward
Boston, Albany and northern New
York state. At this juncture another
defending army appears, with orders
to make last stand to save the city
of New York. Brigadier General
Tasker H. Bliss will act as umpire in
the important theatrical battle.
Theatrical managers. threatened
with a strike of musicians are very
much interested in a new invention
called the unit orchestra, an instru-
ment for which is claimed the same
music as may be produced by an or
chestra of thirty men. Managers of
the theatres who have had trouble
with their musicians have heard the
instrument and seem to be favorably
impressed with it, in several instanc-
es. The demonstrations have been
given under the direction of Robert
Hope-Jones the inventor. One mu-
sician plays the instrument, which
has three banks of keyboards much
like a church pipe organ. Above them
Is circular arrangement of keys one
for each of the different instruments.
Reports from London that there
are prospects of another race next
year for the Americans Cup are ar
ousing the hopes of local yachtsmen.
Nearly every month there are rumors
of an expected challenge. So far they
have all come to naught. The latest,
however. seems to have a substantial
basis 1t was launched at a dinner
