A HARMLESS WAY TO
DARKEN The HAIR
A LITTLE SAGE AND SULPHUR
MAKES GRAY HAIR VANISH
"A REMEDY FOR ALL
HAIR TROUBLES,

Who does o know the value OF
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft and glossy and in good
condition? AS a matter of fact, Sui
phur is a natural element of hair, and
a deficiency Of 1t in the hair is held
by many scalp specialists to be con
nected with loss Of color and vitality
Of the hair. Unquestionably, there is
no better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray
ness, than Sage and Sulphur. If prop
erly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York put out an ideal prepara-
ton of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which
Sage and Sulphur are combined with
other valuable remedies for keeping
the hair and scalp in clean, healthy
condition.
If your hair is loosing 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 1t according to the simple direc-
lions, and see what a difference a
few days treatment will make in the
appearance Of your hair.
All druggists sell it, under guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
II the remedy is not exactly as repre-
scented. Special agents. Fout & Porter
field, 81 Broadway.

Pussy Cat

- ~#&E G# F0Secapd
- ADDY told Jack and Evelyn that he would tell them a nice badHmd
story about a little boy named Anthony and q dear little girl named
- Jane. Said ha
'They live in a city In which are made most Of the iron and steel
things used in the world
Anthony and Jane live in a pretty house IN q quiet avenue far away from
the workaday part OF the city Every day they go to kindergarten. and they
are learning heaps and heaps Of interesting things.
Anthony went to kindergarten last year and can write very nicely. Be-
ing a little older than Jane, he helps her all he can.
They are very great chums are Anthony and Jane. They have another
chum In grandma, who lives with them
Grandma reads to Jane and Anthony when they get tired Of play. They
have many nice books, and they have a big, old Aunt Caroline who sends them
q little folks paper every now and then, and out of that grandma reads them
stories too
Well, one day grandma, or maybe it was some one else, took Anthony and
q out for a walk, aid they went to a store where all sorts Of lovely cards
are sold. There were some beautiful picture postal cards.
Let's send a postal to Aunt Caroline said the children. After awhile
they agreed on the card. 1t was a pretty picture of a brown pussy cat
And they sent it. Yes, they did. with a delightful message to Aunt Caro-
line, who lives in a far of city.
Then they signed their names and wrote Aunt Carohnes name and street
number and town sc that the podman would know where to take the card.
When q stamp had been pasted on they dropped it into the box and went home.
And the postal card got to Aunt Caroline a day or so later It was OIL her
desk In the big gray building where she goes every day to grind But let's
never mind about that.
when Aunt Caroline picked up the card she smiled, and then she kissed
the postal card right where Anthony and Jane had put their names. Pleased2
1 should just say she was
And sat right down to the old typewriter machine OF which she taps
ut q heap OF STUFF, and she tapped two little letters, one for Anthony and one
or Jane, telling them just how pleased she was with her nice postcard pussy
cat and the loving little friends who had sent it. Then she put the letters in
little envelopes and wrote Anthonys name on on and James shame IN the other

smoky cy where they make all sorts Of things out Of iron and steel"

THE WATER

This is the drowning period. AL
ready in more easterly and southern
points numerous cases of drowning
have been reported. With the wealth
er warming up in this part of the
northwest Fargo and North Dakota
may soon be called on to pay its an
nual death toll.
There is an almost irresistible lure
about the water. The various forms
of boating, rowing, canoeing and
swimming attract thousands each
season. The water not only furnishes
a great deal of pleasure-but stimu-
lates the health of those, who observe
the ordinary precautions suggested by
common sense.
There is always, however, the idiot
who rocks the boat-and there are the
foolish bathers who venture beyond
their depth into dangerous places,
The result is that the annual record
Of loss of life by drowning becomes
appalling.
A considerable percentage of Fargo
people viii spend more or less time al
the lakes this summer. There is
much more safety in the water there
than on the Red river. The river has
q swift current that Is especially dan.
gerous to youthful and inexperienced
swimmers.

Ar Appreciation.

We wish to thank our congressman
for a nifty package Of garden seeds
sent from Washington for our special
use. 1t is nice to be thus remember
ed by one who is far away in a strange
land and it beats a picture postcard
forty ways. There is a practical value
to a package of congressional garden
cooked up for breakfast this morning
and they were fair. 1t must be re-
membered that congress has gone dem
ocratic recently and the flavor OF the
garden seeds is bound to be some
what more biting and pessimistic than
formerly, but we thank the thoughtful
congressman Just the same. We have
eaten his garden seeds several years
and they are all right. ad

N. D. RURAL SCHOOLS.

-
! The people of North Dakota have
awakened to the Importance Of the
rural schools and great progress in
this direction has been made in the
last few years.
North Dakota is especially fortunate
In its wealth of school lands-and the
revenues arising from the interest on
the fund created by their sale. This
Is apporttoned quarterly to the great
benefit of the schools.
The state also has made an annual
appropriation of $685. 900 for aid to the
rural schools-which meet certain
conditions.
In addition to this there is an APP
preparation of $4,000 each for FIVE
high schools in the state to establish
agricultural schools. The twenty or
more schools that failed to and one
of these are conducting special work
at their own expense.
LAS SLdLS HdS d super llISAiuSll'
Of rural school work who is accom-
plishing splendid results.
With the different funds from the
state and the township levies for
school purposes the rural schools OF
North Dakota are on a strong financial
basis and occupy an advanced position
even for the progressive western
educational circles.
The appointment of a rural school
commission is another factor that
should prove very beneficial. There
are immense possibilities along this
line-looking toward the adoption OF
better courses of instruction, securing
better qualified teachers, making more
attractive and better ventilated school
buildings, improving the school
grounds and establishing schools as
community centers for social and edu-
cationaI work.
North Dakota is one of the two
states in the entire union that has
such a commission. 1t holds a very
advanced position in the educationa.
work-and so far only the smallest
possibilities have been developed.
With these splendid educational ad-
vantages the state is i n a position tc
make an especially strong appeal to
prospective settlers. Farmers from
states farther east are astonished to
find that-instead of coming to q
frontier state without good rura,
schools-they are coming to one which
although much newer, has greatly i'm

An Ode to PertIy Rrothsrs.

Now is the summer or our discomfort
We get a taste Of future punishment
We fry, we boil,
We ~sizzle, broil,
We seem on fire
And we perspire
We who are fat.
We long to lose our all too solid flesh
And madly yearn for n small
breeze that's fresh.
We wilt, we melt,
We reef our belt,
We have no fun
Out in the sun
Well tell you that.
The lean and lanky should no malice
show
BY hooting us who dire misfortune
know.
We suffer now
Enough, we vow,
We're in no mood
For satire rude.
Far be it from.
But still, the portly brothers should
cheer UP
They've not vet reached the real
dregs of the cup
It's some warm now,
But we'll allow
It's but the first
And that the worst
Is yet to come.

TELEPHONE AND TELEeRAPH.

A number Of changes have been
made in the telephone and the tele-
graph service in the northwest since
both went under the same ownership,
More radical things are on the pro-
gramme. In cities where there are
local telephone exchanges and tele-
graph offices separate from the rail-
way s~tations-it is proposed to con-
solidate the two in one building.
Such a change may be made in Far
go before very long. The Northwest
ern Telephone Co., a branch of the
American, owns it's own building here,
1t would not be a difficult matter to
add more stories and operate the tele-
graph and telephone lines under one
roof.

Mccall of Massachusetts, II heard a

was walking down Pennsylvania ave-

They stopped in at George Parker's
place, across from the old Willard, for
a toddy, and before leaving Thad toy
ed for a few minutes with the faro
bank and won $100-a 800 bill. Re-
Stunning his walk, he was accosted off
the capitol steps by a Quaker delega-
ton from Pennsylvania, some Of his
constituents, who said they were in
terested in a worthy charity in his
district, and would like to receive a
contribution. Thad took the 500 bill
from his pocket and, with a grand
flourish, handed it to the spokesman,
who was profuse in his thanks. Turn
ing away, Mr.. Stevens said to his COM
panion, God moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform"
We'll, I liked that anecdote. The
