The dock was crowded with merry.
makers returning from an outing on
the island and they were in high spir'
It's. The tramp of feet OF the young
men and women started the structure
swaying.
The few electric light bulbs strung
over the dock cast little light over the
merry-makers and they were unable
to notice the movement OF the struc-
ture as the supports weakened.
Suddenly there was crash. fol.
lowed by screams as the men and wo-
men slid from the foor into the raging
current OF the river. The light wires
were broken and the place was In
darkness. punctuated by the cries OF
the helpless women and children.
The confusion was 30 intense and
the few who escaped the disaster
were so helpless to aid those In the
water that many lives were lost which
could have been saved under ordinary
circumstances.

.OLD-TIME REMEDY
DARKENS The HAIR
Gives Color, LuStre to Faded and
Gray lIair-DandruiI Quick
ly Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles Almost everyone knows the
value Of such combination for keep
ing the hair a good even color, for
curing dandruff, itching scalp and fall
ing hair, and for promoting the growth
of the hair, Years ago the only way to
get hair tonic Of this kind was to
make 1t in the home, which was trou-
blesome and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays, almost any up-to-date drug
gst can supply his patrons with a
ready-to-use product, shllmlly pre-
pared in perfectly equipped laborato-
rles.
An ideal preparation Of this sort is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, in which sage and sulphur are
combined with other valuable reme-
dies for scalp troubles and thin, weak
hair that is losing its color or coming
out After using this remedy for a
few days, you will notice the color
GRADUALLY coming back, your scalp will
feel better, the dandruff will soon be
gone and in less than a months time
there will be a wonderful difference in
your hair
Don't neglect your hair If It is full
of dandruf, losing its color or coming
out Get a fifty cent bottle Of Wy
cth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist and see what few days
treatment will do for you. All drug
g!sts sell It, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded II the remedy
is not exactly as represented. Agent,
