Much unnecessary alarm is being

impotent to transact business.
Representative Underwood and my.

Similar conditions prevailed among

Men still wear their hats in church
in many parts of Holland. Moreover,
smoking in church is not considered
irreverent by the Dutch when service
is not in progress. and the ministers
themselves indulge in this practice.

your hat on in church and that saves
you many a chill; you talk freely and

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

There Is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
a simple Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance, they made brew
OF Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't 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 ready-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
druff, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get a fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and YOU will
be surprised at the eaick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

humanity towards its unfortunate

which will soon appear.
1t is a little building located on

Upon the outskirts of this institu-

brick building. Wide porches upon
its south, east and west fronts re,
lieve the monotony and severity OF
its outlines. OF all the structures
which Illinois has erected in fifty years
at its charitable institutions, none
is so cold in its plainness or so mod

Yet this is a temple, the apothe

Of an impersonal state.
