immigrant. Impudence is seldom
found among the Greeks, which can
not be said of the American. Art and
music have their fountain in Italy.
The immigrant can be a great asset
if he is educated. This, she said, was

DON PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy viii Bring Back
the Natural Color.

'Pull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place" is an old saying,
which is, to great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is q sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Nature
call for help. Gray hair, dull, hfeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads Of hair without q
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems TO be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons TO use is the old-fashioned Usage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep.
aration' of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tones and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanceC
and tested by experts.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Mildred Bridges,
former disciple of Evelyn Arthur See

fore Judge Pomeroy was over in five

room and bade her farewell. She re
turned to the residence of Mrs
Charles Klingen, 4333 West Van Bur

portant cities of the state, was sug-
gested at yesterdays convention of
the good roads advocates as the most
cipator.
Illinois roads are the worst in
the union" said Jens Jensen, land
scape artist, who spoke on the land
scape feature of the proposed men,
orial. But the valley of the Illinois,
through which this proposed men,
Crial road would be built, is most
beautiful and nothing is prettier in
the whole state.
There is a tendency to change
landscapes in this country and plant
imported nursery stock. This is a
mistake. Landscapes should be dec
Grated with trees and plants native
to the soil and found in our own
country"
Congress recently appropriated
100000 for the establishment of
Lincoln memorial and members of
the State Good Roads association
have been active in endeavoring to
have the fund expended for the es-
tablishment OF the memorial road.
There is grave danger of losing
the highway If too determined an
onslaught is made on the plans OF
the congressional committee which
will decide upon the nature of the
memorial" said Arthur c. Jackson
president of the state association.
| mo state in the union stands in
greater need of good roads than ILL
nois and no state can profit more
by them" Mr.. Jackson said. "But
it is difficult to arouse the interest
of the people in this important move
ment. The farmers of the state op
pose the establishment Of new roads
because they fear increased taxation
If the legislature appropriated $40,
100000 for roads the people of Chi
cago would contribute about one
half of the amount, while not a mile
of road would be built in the city"
Approval of the proposed Lincoln
memorial highway was given by w
e. Haskell of Cedar Rapids, Iowa
at the afternoon session.
Monuments, homes and other in
stitutions to the great emancipatol
are already in evidence" he said
but a highway would not only be
something new and original, buI
more than a monument would give
to greater number of people
thoughts of Lincoln"
NJ. E. Springer, of Oklahoma City
