SAGE TEA WILL

Restore Faded and Gray

There is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color Of the hair. Our grandmothecs
kept their hair dark. glossy and
abundant by the use Of simple
Sage Tea Whenever their hair
fell ont or took on a dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made a
brew of Sage leaves. and applied it
to their hair with wonderfully bene.
fetal effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do 1t ourselves;
and all we have to do is to cali for
the ready-made product, Wyeth $
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con-
tanning 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 dandruff. dry, feverish, itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get fifty

 It was in the Alamo. or old mission of San Antonio de Valero, in the city of San Antonio. Tex, on March s, 1886, that the five survivors of 180 Texans and Americans, led by Crockett and Bowie and others, succumbed to the attacks of many times their number.

 It was one of the most wonderful fights in the history of the world. It was the continuation of the Texan war in6anan6pnoa m n the Texans fighting at San Jacinto on April 21, 1886, the battlecry which sounded the doom of Mexican rule north of the Rio Grande The battle of the Alamo is known in history as the American Thermopylae," and 1t is re- corded in pride and in sorrow and in reverence of the names of the honored dead that '"Thermopylae had its mes l senger of defeat; the Alamo had none" The words are inscribed on the Alamo | monument in the capitol grounds in | Austin.

Chester, Iowa, Marietta, Elfrida and Ozark. The New York, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia and North Caro- lima men were ordered to gather in Tangier sound, Chesapeake bay from July 15 to p, on the warships Rhode Island, Aileen, Machias and Chicago. South Manitou island, Lake Michigan, from Aug. 12 to 19, will see the as- semblage of naval militiamen from the Great Lakes states. It was not found practicable to arrange a rendezvous for the amateur tars of the Pacific coast. The organizations of the various states made arrangements for independent cruises the naval militia of the state of Washington making a cruise on the Pennsylvania. that of Oregon on the Maryland the cruise period lasting from June 16 to 26, and the Califor- nians were ordered to make the cruise on the Marblehead from July 6 to 21. Target practice of the naval militia or ganizations on the Pacific coast will take place later in Puget sound.
 For body only twenty two years old the naval militia is in f1ourishing con- dition. The latest figures credit it with having 563 commissioned officers, 26 warrant officers, ,058 petty officers and 53S8 men, a total of 7,035. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have organizations, the largest being New York with a total of 794 officers and men. The pictures show some of the New Workers leaving for an annual cruise.
 The navy department has assigned thirty-six vessels, all small, to the vari- ous state bodies. All matters relating to the naval militia of the United States come under the cognizance of the assistant secretary of the navy, who transacts all business with the naval militia through the governors and adjutants general or quartermas- ters general of the states. At present the officer in the navy department in Washington in immediate charge of naval militia affairs is Commander Archibald H. Davis.
 The naval militia is referred to some times as the naval reserve, but such reference is not correct practice and the navy men, sticklers for correctness | and propriety, do not like to have the l body misnamed. The United States has ! no naval reserve in the sense that Eng 1 land has. There the naval reserve is an important part of the national de- l fense. Every seafaring man, boatman and fisherman of the coasts of the British isles is enrolled in the royal naval reserve and may be called upon for duty in case of war. The men thus enrolled receive small subsidies from | the government.
 | The American naval militia is under 1 the control of the states. When the
 naval militia was organized, twenty two years ago, 1t was intended to model
 it along the lines of the British naval
 reserve, but other counsels prevailed.
 At first the organization was known as
 the naval reserve artillery, and it's pur- 1 poses were the assumption of charge
 of the coast defense and the study of
 torpedo work. handling of the naval
 guns and laying of mines

states, and the acuteness of the crisis which the party faces in a given local ity is measured pretty accurately by the caliber and reputation of the speak CTS who are detailed for service in it.
 The experiences of such spellbind- CTS. are frequently amusing enough, and very often it is the speakers quick wit and good humor that win votes for his candidate as surely as his for nal arguments. Here is a case in point:
 John Barrett, now director general of the Pan-American union, was address ing a rural audience during the 1901 campaign and was defending the Re publican policies in Panama and the Philippines. Emphasizing one of his points by an illustration taken from farm life he said, T know what it is to work on a farm myself"
 That was too much for stalwart young Democrat who, with others of the same party, had been attracted to the meeting by curiosity. He eyed the speakers faultless frOck coat, immacu- late shirt front and gray striped trou- sers and the shining tile on the table

CTS which campaign committees inva- riably consider of vast importance.
 Intimately connected with the docu- ment mill is the bureau or department
 which prepares political reading mat
 ter for voters who have not mastered
 English-the Films and the Magyars,
 the Scandinavians and the Bohemians, the Italians, the Poles and all the rest
 of the European contingent. It has commonly, though not always. been considered good committee practice to issue translations in almost every Flu ropean language of nearly all the doc uments got out in English. and the ! troubles of the functionary who has to look after this job are simply inde- scribable.
 Of all sorts of "Iiterature' the com
 mittee sends out quantities that are most conveniently measured by the | ton. Not fewer than 10,0OO,000 speeches
 were scattered broadcast by the Demo- crats, for instance, in the campaign of 1904

behind him. Then he rose in his place and clustered out:
 What bluff are you giving us? You work on a farm! Bet yer never milked a COW in your life!"
 Not only have I mixed cows" said Barrett quietly, but, what is more. I will put up $100 against the same amount to be put up by you and your charity, that I can milk a COW faster than you can. Appoint a committee and produce the cows"
 They appointed a Democrat, a Re- publican and woman as a committee. selected two Jersey cows and drove them up on the platform.
 The milk rattled in the bottoms of the tin pails. It was still rattling in the young farmers pail when it al- ready had begun to swash in the spell binders, and the latter had his COW milked before his opponent was half through, the meeting winding up in blaze of glory for the victor. One feature of political campaigns that has passed away within the last twenty years is the torchlight parade. This institution probably reached the zenith of its popularity in the cam paign of 1884, when the Republicans all over the country were organized into attachments of ''pumed knights" name suggested by Robert G. Inger- soils eulogy of James G. Blaine. These parades. with their elaborate uniforms, meant the expenditure of a good deal of money, which is now applied to more practical purposes.

It was enacted that no changes should be made in the property without the con- sent of the Daughters. They are op- posed to the parking of the property planned by Governor Colquitt and his advisers and to other changes. They have obtained an injunction to prevent the proposed changes at least until the legislature, which convenes early next year, can pass upon them.
