TIE FIRST aaAx HAIR
Easy Way to Preserve Natur~l NoIor
 of the Hair.

A harmless remedy. made from e,-ssEsa mon garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair. to prevent it from losing it's col or and lustre. is just as important as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neglect your hair, when gray hair is even more conspic uous and suggestive of age than wrin kles or a poor complexion? Of the two, 1t is easier to preserve the nat uraI color and beauty of the hair than 1t is to have good complexion.
 All that is necessary is the occas- ional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable reme- dies, for dry, harsh, faded hair. dan druff, itching scalp and falling hair. After a few applications of this sim pie, harmless remedy, your hair will gradually be restored to it's natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no longer come out, but will start to grow as Nature, intended it should.
 Don't neglect your hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. lou can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your drug gist will give your money back if you are not satisfied after using. Pur- chase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the differ ence it will make in your appearance Agent Lee & Osgood

HE DEMOCRATIC RACE.

The situation in the democratic par ty at the president time shows Champ Clark to be in the lead with Wilson running second and several others following, including Underwood. Mar shall, Baldwin, Burke and Harmon. By the democratic rule, a thirds vote is required to secure the nomination, which means this year 72S. At the present time Clark is the leader in the race with 196. and Wilson second with 1O7, so that both are a long dis tance from the goal. It must be re- membered that with all the candidates that Bryan is a delegate to the con- yention and he may yet throw his hat in the ring.
 Though Clark is in the lead as the delegates now stand by almost two to one the New York delegation is not for him, and the feeling so far as known, places them with Wilson. Clark is the democrat who stirred up so great an opposition to Grover Cleveland a score of years ago by calling him the counterpart of Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold. In asmuch as Cleveland was one of the greatest of democrats. the actions of Clark have not been forgotten by the old-timers and he is being termed a joker and spinner of oldfashioned yarns After backing and filling on the reciprocity question he caught the public sentiment of Canada and helped to defeat that measure. He is q man who lacks initiative. He is in the lead now. but many more delegates are needed to secure the nomination and d sentiment is rising to change the two-thirds rule. Governor Will sons supporters, 1t is said, are in ia vor of such a change. Deep rooted opinion seems to think that from now on the Wilson delegates will begin to show up stronger, which, with the New York delegation, would put him rather close tO Clark.

IDEAS OF APLAITN MAN

Once, in my dream, 8 man showed me Gods photograph. It was d little box made of time and light and feel ing, all worked into a semblance of gold and llly-work
 He told me that this phonograph contained the record of every word I had said, of every thought that had sounded upon my consciousness, and of every, love or hate that had vi- brated from my heart.
 Whenever you talk, he said, you are not speaking into space. but you have your lips to the machine. It turns It's cylinder unceasingly and catches and holds every motion of your being.
 There is a row of keys here. Press certain ones and you can hear again what took place in your life at any period.
 It was curious So I pushed key and listened to myself at the age of ten, of two, of twenty, and of other years.
 And after I had listened a while, l began to feel much depressed. And the man said, What do you think of yoTsef?'
 And I answered, My chief senti- ment is pity. I am sorry for the soul to whom l have listened. He was SO | ignorant, so mistaken. so lacking in l foresight"
 Do you think, then, that Gods feel
 ing toward all men is one of pity?' l T do."
 But he answered. as he put the | instrument in it's case. there is where you are mistaken. You have partial 1 wisdom; God has perfect wisdom. To | you life is a series of errors to God 1 it is a beautiful growth. He is not | displeased with the human creatures l He has made"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Precursor.

MT. Editor One of your editorial notes of Saturday declares that The first mosquito has appeared with the same old merry tune he always sings
 True but what has become of the since he upset the beehive and himself by throwing it into the ring?
 It can't be it is the dethroned bee that is now making all the noise in wrecking vengeance on Theodore on account of having been deprived of it's home; for never did a presidential bee act so silly before.
 Perhaps it is a fly that has lit on TheodoTes mouth and excruciates him that causes the noise Maybe the fly not wishing to be far behind the mos quito in singing. is now chanting to Theodore, In resentment for his re- cent interpretation Of lincoln's char acter, that faForlte old war refrain: We are coming. Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more!"
 II so, let that number of flies come for Theodore delights in swatting. and 1t may help to give him business enough until the convention meets.
 Then Theodore may be sWatted himself and be made to keep 0ut of the White house ia fuihlment of his promise
 June bugs will then be in order and 1 may start in Chicago for Theodore a new order of things instead of the third term

DRgpeE THE MISSISSIPPI.

Tn the Mississippi valley. conditions seem to grow worse rather than i'm prove. The flood is being fed by in cessant rains and the melting of much snow and ice to the north, and it is impossible for the levees to retain the great volume of water. The great losses which have been sustained this year. running well into the millions, point 10 this as one of the great prob lems the country must next take up and solve.
 Hundreds of millions have been spent on the Mississippi, covering long space of time, but it has lacked system or permanency. Each succeed ing flood would tear down all that had been constructed. How to meet the problem is. of course, a matter which needs much study. The establishment of great conservation reservoirs at the headwaters, which win take care of the flood waters so they can be let down gradually or be used in connec- ton with irrigation, has been urged as a means of overcoming the disas- trous floods, in addition to the re- building Of the leVees.
 B. F. ToaSum, a railroad president of that section, has given the ques- ton much thought, and it is his rec o1nmendation that the river he dredg ed With the country soon to have vast amount of machinery necessary for such work, on it's hands from the Panama canal together with the experienced help, he advocates with much strength that the employing of that machinery in deepening the great river would give more permanent re- suits than building levees to be washed away at each flood. The river is shallow and the channel constantly changing. There is opportunity to lower the bottom, but the sides can be raised only about to the point where they have been.

CARE OF MATTRESS.

A mattress should be turned every day, but unless the turning is done carefully it will gradually work the stuffing out of place To prevent this. sew handles of ticking or webbing to the sides and you will be able to turn the mattress without straining the ticking When one of the rosettes shows signs of coming off it should be inIme 1iately stitched in position. for if not the stuf1ng will rapidly work out of place ard the mattress lose it's shape. New rosettes may be made out of old kid gloves and sewed on with fine twine with long upholsterer's $ needle

RAINY DAY LUNCHEON.

A rainy day" luncheon is a novel idea. Place an old parasol frame up- right in a fernery and twist smilax around the frame and down each spoke. At the base of the fernery have a bed of flowers as large around in circumference as the parasol. At the luncheon hour hide a small lump of ice in the smilax at the end of the spokes. allowing it to melt and drip on the flowers.
 Pass two little glass dishes with the salad course one holding minced green peppers and the other tiny slices of little new onions. The guests can take what they want and sprinkle on their salad. which may be of letttce, toma- toes and cucumbers.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Tunics are seen on many tailored street suits.
 The reign of the chiffon waist is by no means over.
 The lines of the spring gowns are undoubtedly fuller.
 Striped and checked silks will be fashionable this season.
 Strands of flowers hang from the neck in place of iabots.
 The new skirt is draped or has the double or triple effect.
 Silk takes a prominent place as hat trimming to form bows.
 Cordings of silk, satin, chiffon, braid or light weight cloth are evidenced on nearly all the frocks.
 Corsages are swathed in tulle. Sleeves on some of the evening dresses are tiniest puffs or tulle. The tight tailored sleeve is a promi- nent favorite for suits and dresses of u6dNg NCTSteu UtdLcIldl. A novelty in millinery this season is l the crown of one color and the brim of another. The quality of the straw may l also vary. Fringe plays a prominent part in | trimming lingerie gowns. It is either 1 of mercerized cotton or linen and oi i course is washable ! 4 citron yellow is very effective to 1 trim a gown, or it may be used for the entire costume if relieved by touches o1 embroidery. i Oriental colorings are evident ir many border designs and the garland effects of wreaths and vines are love- | ly and very stylish
